Rumors that Putin will declare war officially and escalate his attacks.

I hope he isn't too stupid, the world economy is at an inflection point with high energy prices and a drought.

And not being ready can cost more than the cost of the weapons that may deter Russia in the long run.
Oh, I didn't realize we "just support". In that case can we cut the severely bloated military budget by say 75% or so ?


P.S. Coming back to Poland, as opposed to the US, they don't have the ability to create money out of thin air.

The world today with "Yuriy Podolyak", [9/11/2022 10:55 AM]
Blackout in Ukraine (version).

While globally it has not happened, but partially it already exists. There is no light in Kharkiv, Poltava, and partly in Sumy, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa regions.

Moreover, both the Russian side and the Ukrainian side say that "it's not us." And one of them is 100% fake. Exactly the same as one of the same parties was 100% cunning in the issue of shelling the ZNPP.

Therefore, we are looking for someone who benefits from it.

1. It is clear from the ZNPP. for Russia to shell her "wy the hell?", but for Ukraine this is pure blackmail. They say do not give free energy - you will have a problem. And it is clear that this is the APU. Moreover, there is also a ton of facts.

2. And now we watch the hands. Today, Russia is shutting down the ZNPP, which is already removing almost 1 Gigabyte of power from Ukraine's energy balance. And then, all of a sudden, attacks on two Kharkiv thermal power plants, which, together with the shutdown of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, put the power system of the eastern part of Ukraine on the blades. Why is it benefitial for Kyiv, I personally do not understand. Why Moscow needs this, I understand it very well. Thus, Moscow explains to Kyiv in a language understandable to him that for every cunning fox, there is a nut with a left-hand thread. And if they do not stop playing pranks on the ZNPP issue, then they will constantly explain to their population why they are sitting without electricity.

Russia is a huge country with an enormous railroad industry....

*25-30% of RR cars are now being pulled off their routes
*Half of all Russian cargo is carried by rail
* Mining, including coal, will be hit particularly hard
*4.1M Russians will become unemployed
* Coal cannot be transported even to China
*Asia has not been able to retool and supply the bearings, and are afraid of going too far because of secondary sanctions.

I worked on the railroad..wheel bearings are to trains like gasoline is to our automobiles..a regular maintenance item that constantly needs changing on trains..there are a lot of wheels on trains..

From Russian Ministry of Defense Spokesperson:

Russian troops retreat victoriously. Ukrainian troops ran after them in panic.

This is my favorite Russian propaganda line yet. LOL

Kharkiv sector of the front: the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in no hurry to increase the pace of the offensive due to the danger of encirclement

Izyumsko
Kupyansky
theand Kupyansk. There is no detailed information from the Ministry of Defense on the situation on this sector of the front. There are fragmentary reports from the field, including from military correspondents. Thus, it is reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have slowed down the pace of the offensive and do not go further than the Vishnevka-Grushevka line, fearing that a quick advance could turn victory into a crushing defeat.
Initially, information came that, apparently, our troops left Balakleya tonight. At the same time, information is being received that the territory of the 65th Balakleysky arsenal is still under the control of our military, which also ensures control over the Balakleya-Savintsy highway.
Voenkor Poddubny, located in Kupyansk, said that the Russian Armed Forces were gathering significant reserves into the battle area, most likely from the Belgorod region. Obviously, they will strengthen the Shevchenko-Kupyansk-Oskol reservoir line. Here, most likely, a shock fist will be formed for a counteroffensive, if, of course, it is planned at all.
On the defense line Savintsy-Vishnevaya (Vishnevka)-Podvysokoye, the allied forces are strengthening the defense line in order to prevent the enemy from cutting off the supply of the Izyum grouping. South of Izyum, the enemy is trying to demonstrate activity by regularly sending DRGs in the direction of Liman and thus trying to cut the supply lines of the Izyum grouping.
The Rybar Telegram channel, publishing a map of hostilities in the Izyumsko-Kupyansky sector, reports that Ukrainian formations occupied Senkovo ​​on the right bank of the Oskol River. Due to the explosion of the dam of the Krasnooskolsky reservoir, the river here has become so shallow that it can be forded. This creates a threat of crossing the water barrier by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to cut the Kupyansk-Borovaya highway.
The R-07 highway in the section from Shevchenkovo ​​to Grushevka is under the full control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy is pulling heavy armored vehicles there to develop the offensive. However, the artillery and aviation of the RF Armed Forces does not allow Ukrainian troops to approach Kupyansk closer than 2-3 kilometers.
Despite the active fire defeat by the RF Armed Forces, at the moment the efforts made are not enough to limit the breakthrough
, Rybar reports.
At the same time, due to the transfer of reserves from Izyum to the breakthrough zone, the enemy can intensify the offensive on Bolshoy Burluk, which creates a threat of encirclement of the Izyum group. The only deterrent for the Armed Forces of Ukraine here can only be the fact that they will have to attack in open areas under the shelling of Russian artillery and the strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

According to Boris Rozhin, an expert with the Center for Military-Political Journalism, tonight and tomorrow during the day we can expect enemy attempts to reach the outskirts of Kupyansk, as well as further attempts to cut the Kupyansk-Izyum road.
An interesting commentary, looking at the map of hostilities in the area of ​​​​the breakthrough and wedging deep into our defense units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is given by the reporter Rudenko, specifying that he does not consider himself a “great expert in military affairs”: the
Armed Forces of Ukraine drive themselves into the “tit” with their offensive and, if this So, the boiler is quite possible. If this is a plan to drive the herd into a cauldron, this is brilliant, but if this is another miscalculation, then this is a crime.
A number of military experts also express the opinion that such a significant breakthrough of Ukrainian formations in the Kharkiv direction may be part of the strategic plan of the Russian command to lure large enemy forces deep into our territory. Such a stretching of the flanks, coupled with a large distance from the always delayed supply, deprives the enemy of the opportunity to continue an active offensive. At the same time, the threat of complete encirclement and destruction of the dispersed forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine becomes obvious.
How far this is a well-thought-out plan of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or a miscalculation of our command will be shown in the very near future.
