Hogwarts has now joined providing arms to Ukraine.

I don't know that this will successfully counter Russia's battle dolphins, tho.

From the internet:

I hear they have been training tactical snails since 2012 so the snails could get to the battles in time.

I think you are very confused; it was the Americans who had labs in Ukraine to develop toxic tactical snails.

Russia Presses Evacuation of Kherson as Ukrainian Offensive Looms

Moscow’s attempts at a counteroffensive in Donetsk are leading to large casualties, prompting complaints by Russian marines

www.wsj.com

The lead of this story is Kherson, but there is also a discussion about large Russian casualties in the East.

Well, that's one headline to share.... misleading without more context.
Ukrainians believe Kherson is a trap as Russians dig in, wear civilian clothes, and prepare a heavy artillery line on the left bank of the river.
What the Russians have done is offer the civilians they previously trapped in Kherson, a way out. A potential way to live (in Russia). The rest are at great risk either through neglect or violence.
Russia wants Kherson to be a Ukrainian graveyard one way or another and there is little that can be done about it militarily, the outcome is certain unless Ukraine forfeits the bridgehead and its own survival in the following years. Driving the Orcs from the right bank is not optional. The cost, is that Kherson city will no longer exist.

It is a wonder if anyone still trapped inside will survive what the Russians have planned there.

Our assistance has arrived a bit late for Ukraine's power grid.
Kyiv is barely habitable at this point.

Kyiv Mayor Klitschko warns of evacuations if power lost

Speaking on Ukrainian television, Mayor Klitschko branded Russia's targeting of infrastructure as "terrorism" and "genocide".​

Russian President Vladimir Putin "doesn't need us Ukrainians. He needs territory, he needs Ukraine without us", the former heavyweight boxer said.​

"That's why everything that is happening now [strikes on infrastructure] is genocide. His task is for us to die, to freeze, or to make us flee our land so that he can have it."​

Another official in the capital Kyiv has warned that, in the case of a total blackout, water supply and sewerage would also stop working.​

I have one question, who the fucknames thier gun "Manpads"? Do soldier males now also have periods?

 

[IronWing]

Man portable air defense system, you know, manpads.

 

[brycejones]

Man Portable Air Defense System - and they are missiles not guns.

 

[Leeea]

^^^ I wouldn't say they've lost.

It seems unlikely now that Russia will seize Kiev and annex all of Ukraine.

Shouldn't that be PERPADS?

As Ukraine receives more surface to air defense systems the Russians will probably use fewer expensive cruise missiles.

Iranian ballistic missiles likely to be the next problem and the only real answer would be to supply the Ukrainians with parity systems since ABM systems are not in easy supply.

Military strength Depends! Tactical crotch protection. You'd piss yourself too if you saw hell fire coming your way.

And yet that's a better "fuckname" than "soldier males"

 

[IronWing]

And yet that's a better "fuckname" than "soldier males"

Soldier male
Oh, my little soldier male
I'll be true to you

You were my first love
And you'll be my last love
I will never make you blue
I'll be true to you
In this whole world
You can love but one girl
Let me be that one girl
For I'll be true to you

Soldier male
Oh, my little soldier male
I'll be true to you

 

[Perknose]

But where's the drainage holes? XD

Basic anatomy. If you don't have a drainage hole your teeth must be yellow and floating.

 

[K1052]

Fascinating bit about how US made shells originally provided to Italy decades ago are showing up in Ukraine. Thought to date from the 60s.

How's this different than old Russian shells? They were stored correctly and will be used with new fuses and propelling charges.

 

[K1052]

I would, assuming ‘lost’ means that they will not accomplish the objectives they had when they invaded.

February Russia: Kyiv will be ours in hours. Zelensky will be killed and Ukraine absorbed into Russia as it always has been a part of. Victory is ours comrades.

October Russia: If shells from North Korea and missiles from Iran arrive in time we might be able to hold on to Luhansk and Kherson east of the river.

I saw an estimate that Ukraine has retaken roughly half of the territory Russia took at its maximum extant in the 2022 invasion and a little less than 40% if you count the invasion of Crimea as well.
