Whilst Paris burns, Napoleon fiddles.

The same is true to lesser or greater extent in most countries but Macron is looking like tge most likely weak link in NATO at the moment.

Macron is pretty toothless a t m.
No parliamentary majority, he only got the pension reforms through by resorting to a totally undemocratic clause in the 5th republic constitution.
Reluctant to accept that Europe is subservient to the USA.

Seems that the offensive has gotten underway in the last 12-24 hours

Good luck to those poor men and women, forced into this needless situation.

Russia claiming to have repelled counter offensive in Donetsk. Claiming large casualties.

Must be true

Meanwhile Progozhin (sp) claiming that UKR have retaken areas of bakhmut

Interesting thread, there is a real lack of updates about what is going on. Ukraine MoD did ask for radio silence on troop movements etc so maybe its just that. Russian MoD claim they've repelled all Ukrainian attacks and have inflicted about 250 KIA and about 1000 WIA but who knows.

Certainly seems that Russian forces are spread thin and are being withdrawn back to Belgorod area.

I think we will be 24-36 hrs behind given the size, complexity and reporting restriction of the Uke counter-offensive.

What’s probably been seen today regarding the Russian reports are likely to be reconnaissance in force manoeuvres by the Ukes designed to locate the Russian strongpoints and artillery locations.

They are definitely probing Russian front lines across a wide area looking for weak spots.

Another war crime to add to the list.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Putin and his cronies are beyond evil. It’s hard to fathom how people can defend them.

Isn't dam busting a recognised tactic of warfare.
Happened a.bit on both sides in WWII.
