if the cartels really rolled up on the southern border and our government did nothing, no one's going to give a fuck about our country. maybe russians are built different.
Well if the cartels actually rolled up, took over and established some basic law and order in their towns no one would care, becasue the Federal, stare and local governments aren't doing it. They're too busy looting the government coffers and scheming how to steal more from the average worker; in short, out elected officials are more like a shitty cartel themselves and skeevy cops are their sicarios but provide none of the protections cartels can-and do, in the towns they control.
Russia is built differently but only because it's so large the state can't be everywhere at once. It's more like the what the West used to be; you have to take matters into your own hands because the government can't do it for you, until Moscow or SPB is threatened. It's been that way for centuries.
NFKRZ is probably the dumbest of all the breadtuber. He is a post-Soviet Union trust fund baby who was shocked by the Russian sanction he rooted for affected him negatively and demanded the West help anti-Putin Russians like him. Putin is such a tyrant, the FSB allowed him to run a pro-Ukraine propaganda YouTube channel inside Russia.
Haven't been in this thread in a long time but the recent events have brought me back to it. What is the hohol end game with this Kursk invasion? Is this just their retarded general staff forgetting they can't spend as much manpower on an even more extended front or did some State Department handlers still invested in this war tell them to do it?
Even the reporting on the invasion has been fairly muted from what I've seen and you'd think this would be the big gotcha for the Ukraine is actually winning people.
The Liberator meme except it's Ukrainians in Kursk (and presumably American mercs seen with patches indicating as such in another video). Oops. Nigga found out.
More than 300 animals from Kursk are being evacuated to shelters in Moscow. Let everything be fine with the furry ones! Link
Это так мило, что с виду грубые и серьезные бойцы не забывают и про маленьких пушистых друзей, и помогают им в трудное время!
Так русские военные спасли котика из Курской области.
This is how Russian soldiers saved a cat from the Kursk region. Link

Some people just lose their previous email/used a burner one, and thus must make a new account. Also, socks aren't banned per se, ban-evading throught the usage of socks and denying that you have them is what can cause you trouble
Invasion Update - 17 August 2024 - Day 905 of the Invasion
Novomykhailivka-Kostyantynivka Front - The Push to Encircle Vuhledar
Southwest of Donetsk / Northeast of Vuhledar
Introduction
24 May 2024, Novomykhailivka-Kostyantynivka Front
For this update, I'm focusing on a less active front yet has some interesting updates to offer.
To rephrase what was stated before in previous posts, Russian forces, comprised mostly of marines of the 155th, failed a large-scale offensive against Vuhledar, a stronghold composed of mostly commie-blocks of a hill, in January 2023. The Russian military command soon "sacked" (via a symbolic promotion) the commanding officer of Vostok Command, Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov, for his incompetence in causing a strong unit like the 155th to incur many casualties and equipment losses. Muradov's replacement is Colonel General Andrey Kuzmenko.
An assault towards Vuhledar from the south is unfeasible, as Russian forces have struggled to push back Ukrainian advances from Vuhledar southwards. To counter this, Russia seeks to aim to cut off Vuhledar from Kostyantynivka via the O0532 road, Vuhledar's primary supply route, as part of an offensive to encircle Vuhledar. In this encirclement, Russia also seeks to continue capturing the rest of Paraskoviivka and start an assault onto Kostyantynivka with the 155th, now newly refreshed and a veteran unit following its hard-earned win in the Battle of Novomykhailivka.
Russian forces restarted the push towards Vodyane from Solodke and Volodymyrivka to cut the O0532 supply route between Vuhledar and Kostyantynivka. (1, 3) Meanwhile, several kilometers north, Russian marines continue to capture more parts of Paraskoviivka (2) and have made advances in an attempt to encircle Kostyantynivka from the southeast and from Pobjeda. (3)
On 7 June, Russian marines fully seized Paraskoviivka after over a month of battle (4) and followed it up with large advances in its flanks to expell the last remaining Ukrainian presence north and south of Paraskoviivka and Novomykhailivka in late June. (9, 10) From their push from Solodke, Russian forces fully seized the Kaolinic Quarry and extended the buffer. (5, 8 ) In both directions, the Russians have made minimal progress in their push towards the O0532 supply route. (6, 7)

July-August - Russia pushes to cut the O0532 Road, Battle of Kostyantynivka Starts
From Kaolinic Quarry near Solodke and Volodymyrivka, Russian forces made large advances that put them only 3 kilometers from the O0532 road in the beginning of July. (1) Russian troops in this area soon reached the O0532 road, but couldn't establish a foothold and withdrew, and started solidifying their advances to attempt another push. (2, 3, 4, 6) Nevertheless, it puts the road under Russian fire control, forcing Ukraine to start utilizing dirt roads to supply Vuhledar.
Finally, on 1 August, Russian forces made another push towards the O0532 road and managed to reach it and establish a foothold, cutting the entire supply route between Kostyantynivka and Vuhledar. (8 ) The only way to supply Vuhledar is through dirt roads in the northwest, which would prove more impractical for the Ukrainians. Russian troops later pushed towards more parts of the road in the directions of a Ukrainian trench system near Vodyane (10) and the "South-Donbassian" mine, which is adjacently northeast of Vuhledar. (12)
The situation for Ukraine hasn't fared much better in Kostyantynivka. Russian troops entered the first houses of the town, (5) and are working to encircle the settlement from a flanking advance in the south and from advances in the north from Pobjeda. (6, 7) The Battle of Kostyantynivka begins, with Russian troops now entrenching themselves into newer positions within the settlement. (9, 11)

Conclusion (with Summary or Too Long; Didn't Read)
17 August 2024, Novomykhailivka-Kostyantynivka Front
Despite the lack of activity in this front in comparison to Pokrovsk-Prohres Front, Toretsk Front, and the Kursk Front, we see a consistent pattern of Russia's plan in this front in which they launched several assaults in multiple directions toward the O0532 road. One of these assaults have already reached the road and has cut the supply route between Vuhledar and Kostyantynivka and thus force Ukraine to supply Vuhledar through dirt roads in the northwest with its impracticality.
With Russian marines entering Kostyantynivka, its capture is evident and would create a supply route connecting to Marinka. It is probable that Russian troops aim to advance southwards on the O0532 road to capture Vodyane, which would become a base to assault Vuhledar in the northeast. Capture of Vuhledar will allow Russian forces to seize one of the main arteries of Donetsk Oblast which could become a major supply route and a defensive line.
Sources
Crediting most of what I have to SuriyakMaps (Telegram), which has been consistently neutral and reliable, and has been my main source for posting updates in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, especially as it pertains to the Battle of Bakhmut.
Most of my information is from the subreddit r/UkraineRussiaReport, which to my surprise is a reliable source of the most up-to-date information as it is an aggregator for all the Telegram posts from pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian Telegram channels. Still you're dealing with Redditors, so expect retarded takes in both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian forms so be cautious of the comment sections. Nevertheless, highly recommend it as a good source of information.
Should be mandatory viewing for people who larp about wanting NATO to actually for real for real go to war with Russia because the news made them really butthurt about the realities of geopolitics.
As a random German, does Putler creating a buffer zone by force really bother you enough to go up against corporal Orc of the 155th?
We got 3 million views here, 5 million views at sinodefense forum and some odd unknown reason the defenseforumindia got shut down last july to move over to defenseforumbharat with their entire ukraine war thread getting deleted than staying archived. Then you have defensehub, the other thread here at 1 million views, /k/, reddit and f-16.net at nearly 9 million views(which is weird because browsing that thread only shows 2-4 guests indicating the website is dead)
Interesting snippet from defenseforumbharat regarding Ukranian Nazism, which I think matches what we've seen (and also in Israel):
I have long thought that Ukrainian Nazism is fundamentally different from German. In Germany, it was ideological, based on some scientific theories, and was the product of centuries of development of an entire branch of philosophy.
Ukrainian Nazism is rural. It is generally inherent in all peoples in which the village civilization dominates, if you can call it that. It is cruel, bloody, but if German Nazism was cruel and bloody rationally, in accordance with a strictly prescribed ordnung, then village-mentality Nazism is an irrational sadism. It brings them pleasure. Just remember how in the Baltics and Ukraine they exterminated Jews, with pleasure, joy, enjoying and being sophisticated in their methods. And the Germans created a death factory. Villagers are not capable of creating a factory. At best, a deck to slaughter livestock on. And they extrapolate this to everything.
And also, Ukrainian Nazism is very cargo cult. Moreover, in a very peculiar form, inherent to slaves who are trying to impersonate their masters. The most disgusting slave dreams of being like his masters, and they considered the Germans to be just that. That is why the Norwegians or the Dutch, having put on the SS uniform, treated it as just a uniform, but the legionnaires of "Galicia" idolized these clothes as something sacred, something that brought them a little bit closer to their masters. And approximately the same thing is happening now. For them, swastikas, runes and other crap are absolutely sacred symbols, thanks to which they feel equal to their former masters. And they even hope to become more successful.
The slave genes that the Austrians, Poles and Germans hammered into them, plus the rural way of life are the very basis of Galician Nazism. Which is in some ways more terrible than the German ideological one, but due to the pettiness of its adherents it will never be able to grow into the Reich that Germany became in the thirties of the twentieth century. And this Nazism must be destroyed as the most dangerous plague.
