Hi AC,

What I respect is that you think enough to have an opinion. Truth wont sway to opinion, so we will all see what unfolds with this horrible war in time. I like this fellow's reports:

From the above it appears that the Wagner terrorist group has been replaced by Russian army units. They have been using those big glide bombs you mentioned but the offensive faltered when their meat stocks ran low. I like the way the Ukrainians have been demolishing buildings after the Russians occupy them. There are large areas of rubble being created by both sides which is changing the nature of the battle.

And some ex Wagner terrorists admitted to killing children execution style. No culpability for their conduct in Russia.

Hi Fester,
Interesting, I guess it's good to see a report and an opinion from the other side for a change. I heard about a counterattack maybe yesterday, but I think my sources said Russians also launched one afterwards and took the territory back. There's been a bit of back and forther going on in these areas I think. It's also interesting to see the spin each side puts on its own actions, like for example how your guy claimed it was some kind of success the blow up their own cultural building when retreating, I can see the benefits but it was made in retreat nonetheless, but blown up for tactical reasons, to put Russian advances into a trap without cover.

I watched a video yesterday from a youtube channel I hadn't watched before, it was interesting in that it gives a full drone video showing the whole area including showing the cultural building they destroyed.

I saw reports a little while ago that Ukraine is shelling near the ZPP and that people are being evacuated, I wonder whats going on there. I'm not sure they were ready for their big counterattack, but you never know.

Here's another report I often watch

And a more recent report from the same channel

btw, both your videos were the same ones.

AC,

Firstly there are $300bn of frozen Russian assets as even the Russian central bank has acknowledged.

You claimed that Russia had a hypersonic glide vehicle that could do match 20. Considering that that is the speed of every single ICBM from the 60s the term hypersonic is used for missiles that travel in the atmosphere, not in space. The moment the glide vehicle re-enters the atmosphere it slows right down otherwise it would simply burn up. All you proved is that you have no idea what you are talking about.

As far as secondary sanctions are concerned. All EU and US banks are now freezing or closing the accounts of non-resident Russians that could have been used to trade.

"Considering that that is the speed of every single ICBM from the 60s the term hypersonic is used for missiles that travel in the atmosphere, not in space."
It's true that the US Minuteman III travel over Mach 20

Hypersonic is a term used to denote any speed beyond Mach 5.
The terrm 'hypersonic glide vehicle' refers to the warheads of the MIRV re-entry vehicles speed and ability to change altitude and trajectory, not the speed of the missile itself.

Russia can launch the RS-28 Satan II, even fly them over the south pole instead of the north and hit the US from the south. They don't follow a predictable trajectory which makes them near on impossible to intercept.

"All EU and US banks are now freezing or closing the accounts of non-resident Russians that could have been used to trade."

- All the west is doing is sowing distrust of it's own western financial system and causing other nations to push ahead with de-dollarisation and finding ways to trade in their own currencies.

- The US is not simply screwing over a few Russians.
It's driving others to sell their US treasuries, isolating itself and destroying the reserve currency status of the dollar.

They are shooting themselves in both feet.
It will be the end of the US empire.
