Ugh. Former Labour leader continues to be an apologist for genocide.
Jeremy Corbyn blasts military aid to Ukraine to fight Putin
JEREMY CORBYN has attacked Britain for "pouring arms into Ukraine" to defend the country from the merciless war waged by Vladimir Putin.www.express.co.uk
As much as I despise the Tory government, right now I'm glad this man is not our Prime Minister.
The Kompromat is vast.
Good point!I don't think he's compromised, I think he's just an idiot.
The more brain dead BS the Russian troops pull off, the more optimistic I become about about the upcoming UA offensive. Zelenski, of late, has been signaling less optimism - not sure why atm.Good news story:

Basically:
Russian's were unloading ammunition from a train
so they decided to put up a heavy smoke screen to prevent HIMARS attacks
then an ammunition explosion occurred
Ignore the ineffectiveness of using a smoke screen like that, this is very good news. The Russians must be getting to the bottom of their reserves if they are handling ammunition that is so unstable that a bump is enough to make it go boom.
Also, unloading sensitive items under a smoke screen is a great idea. They should continue to do this. Excellent for efficiency and safety.
NYT today is somber about the offensive in the South, reporting that Russia has moved a lot of troops there and that they may be attacking there vs. defending.
So much happy talk in this thread about every missile strike, but Russia is way larger than the Ukraine with a much larger armed forces to draw on and little threat on their other borders.
The UA has inflicted horrific losses on Russia, but Russia has a very long history of that happening and continuing to grind forward until they win.

I agree pictures of missile strikes on Twitter are meaningless. Far more meaningful is territory and integrity of armed forces as you mention. What's really remarkable and shows how poorly the war is going for Russia is that despite expending massive amounts of effort all spring and summer they have very, very little territory to show for it.I don’t think a Twitter picture of a supposed missile strike at one place which gets posted day after day means as much as territory and ability to hold off attacks.
Russia is still attacking in the East, just at one place instead of two. And they have reinforced and may attack in the South.
I think they are really battered and have lost a lot of combat effectiveness but the same applies to the well trained elements of the Ukrainian Army as well.
Thanks. I must have missed that while vacationing.Zelenskyy is glum because he's fresh off the ICU rounds. Seeing his maimed and nearly dead soldiers, being so familiar with their sacrifices, it takes a toll even on people with enormous resolve. I hope it's not because he has intel regarding some new horror the Russians are going to perform, a 'chemical weapons accident' for instance.
I heard they were light units. No heavy armour. Perhaps because it allows them to respond fast to incursions by the Ukrainians, but also allows them to retreat fast.NYT today is somber about the offensive in the South, reporting that Russia has moved a lot of troops there and that they may be attacking there vs. defending.
Reportedly video of the GMLRS strike on the Russian supply train at Brylivka, Kherson Oblast.
One of the major problems for the Russians in Kherson is the very limited routes by which a force can be reinforced and resupplied. All of which are being watched closely by the Ukrainians.
I realize that Ukraine's focus will likely be on the Donbass, but I’d rather see them take back the south first in Kherson and Zakarpattia. Isolate Crimea again and shutdown some critical rail lines. Then again, I’m not UkrainIan nor am I anything more than an armchair general.Reportedly video of the GMLRS strike on the Russian supply train at Brylivka, Kherson Oblast.
