Reality is not "neutral".
Or do you think that Ukraine (and its -50% budget) is not at the receiving end?

One shows infiltration... (8h ago)
According to the other one (more professional, I think) nothing has happened at all... (9/9/26 11:35)

Further strikes on the Black Sea Fleet: Admiral Essen and a Buyan-M has been hit by (presumably) Neptunes:
Satellite pics are available. The Admiral Essen appears to be out of commission. The Buyan-M looks to be taking on water.

So what did Steve Bannon say that I took to heart? I don’t follow since I never listened to the guy and maybe read an article or two written by him pre-Trump uno (which I why I never read anything else, I guess?).
Also, what is it anti-Ukrainian that your eye caught in my post(s)? Is there much substance you disagree with? Anything you agree with?
Here is a perspective from an analyst who spends more time in Ukraine (Kyiv in particular) than an average guy:

Here is a brief from the WSJ journo (Laurence, mentioned yesterday in the garbage retweeting context); I cannot read the WSJ, so I haven’t seen the entire article:
In addition to Lavrov, Peskov has confirmed that the energy ceasefire has firmly been rejected:
But again, one has to be incredibly stupid to think that such a ceasefire for the winter is possible, no? I mean really…
Peskov also pretty much straight up said that there will be no negotiations at this point in time:
Which has been fairly clear for a while: Russia is determined to achieve its stated goals on the battlefield and (not unreasonably) believes it can do so.
We beat all records and signed a “100-year partnership agreement” with Ukraine:
Ukraine, Canada sign 100-year partnership agreement as Zelensky and Carney discuss air defense
"Ukrainians helped build Canada, and Canadians will help rebuild Ukraine," Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sept. 10.

Why a hundred and not a thousand?
@Redshit, what does it mean anti-Russian? What should I write? Plenty is written all over the place. I provided many examples. Will this work:
To note, this is the first Reuters article that opens up for me with no paywall in a long while.
Anyway, imagine sending bones of likely a questionable origin to the frontline in order to boost the morale? Laughing.
Bone fragments from the sword hand of a medieval Russian prince who won a famous victory over the Mongols have been sent to the front in Ukraine to raise army morale in the Russian Orthodox Church's latest show of support for President Vladimir Putin's war.
I, of course, thought it is a joke (and still do). Looked over at the Russian space and found only two articles that one may refer to as “reliable”. One is Radio Freedom and the other is RBC. Radio Freedom, to note, is dated August 26.
Of course, the first thought I had when reading the Reuters article was that Russians have a new plan:

I have never read a single word published by Bannon himself, but he is very famous for certain sayings, again I will leave it to you to interpret, or not as you wish, the point of my post.

So no substance then?
What are the famous sayings?
What are the famous sayings?
And you do not live in a "reality world" you live almost entirely in the mystic real of "whataboutism"
If by substance you mean page after page after page of posts then no, and if you don't know then I guess that you will have to stay ignorant as I'm not in the mood to enlighten you, but I'm betting that a lot of people posting here do know.

Meaning...

or
Ukraine is not at the receiving end?
Sorry, I am a bit confused with your "mystical world".

Ignorant, enlighten, etc. Laughing.
Also, “I have not read a single word” does not go together with “enlighten”, but it does with “ignorant”. Especially when you need an extendable ladder to get on that horse.
By substance I mean you contribute nothing to the discussion. Moreover, your contribution has negative value because you take it off topic, as is the case now. But you do you.

Do you have any update on the situation in Chervona Krinitsia? I would like to know what is going on there.
You are just confused
Of course, you must be correct you always are.
Perhaps you would like to explain the connection between my post and this as I do not see it.

Ukrainian strikes continue to reach into the Caspian Sea, this time damaging a Gepard class frigate:

Interesting read on Russian mesh networks:

Russian forces are using mesh networks to expand the range of their drones and causing havoc in Ukraine. Much of the tech comes from China.
