Russia's biggest chemical plant burns down in second mystery fire in a day Dramatic footage shows smoke billowing from the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant in the city of Kineshma A huge blaze has broken out in one of Russia's biggest chemical plants. Dramatic footage shows smoke billowing from the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant in the city of Kineshma, around 250 miles east of Moscow. The site, the largest manufacturer of chemical solvents in the country, is around 950km from the border with Ukraine. It is not currently known what caused the fire to break out - but it comes on the same day that a huge defence plant blaze broke out, killing seven people. The Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant describes itself as the largest producer of butyl acetate and industrial solvents in Russia and Eastern Europe. It is also the supplier of a wide range of chemical and petrochemical products in Russia and in the world. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-russias-biggest-chemical-plant-26767453
Gee whilikers...nothing suspicious here! In all seriousness, if you were one of the richest people on the planet, would you just let some psycho have you and your family killed? At the least, wouldn't you have a few hit-men on retainer tasked with avenging you?

This is the equivalent of Mike Barrett saying that so and so spent the summer in the gym putting on 15 lbs of muscle.
Putin's mighty war machine on the SCRAPHEAP: After two months of fighting, Russia has now lost 873 tanks, 179 aircraft, 21,800 troops... and the pride of its navy is lying on the bottom of the Black Sea Ukraine's land forces released new figures today, suggesting more than 21,000 Russian troops have died A total of 873 tanks are said to have been destroyed, along with 2,238 armoured vehicles and 333 aircraft The flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet - the Moskva - sank last week after being hit by a Ukrainian missile Putin's troops pulled back from Kyiv in late March, suffering low morale amid stiff resistance and heavy losses Russia has now launched an assault designed to seize territory in the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine But experts believe the war could go on for months or even years as Ukraine's military continues to defy the invaders, while Western allies continue to send financial aid and arms shipments to the defenders https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...t-21-800-troops-just-two-months-fighting.html

As Sly posted, russians taking heavy losses and these figures confirmed recently by some russian leaked reports. Ukraine is losing about one third of what russians are. As Sly also pointed out there have been a lot of mysterious fires at military and military/industrial sites in russia lately, another report today of a military base in the far east. I don't think Ukraine has the missile capacity to reach any of these sites so it's very odd whatever is happening. Biggest development is all the mobile howitzers (and plenty of ammo for them) that are coming in to Ukraine from a number of countries, principally USA. These should be a game-changer as soon as Ukrainians are trained on them and they are moved to the eastern front. Also, Ukraine now has more tanks in Ukraine than the russians do, due to captures and shipments form the west. They are just trying to hold the line until all the new equipment is in place. So far successful at that. It still appears that Ukraine will be able to win this war as long as it remains a conventional war.
Dozens of Bucha citizens were killed by tiny metal darts blasted from Russia rockets, forensics say after it was revealed Putin's forces are using the WW1-era weapon in Ukraine Russia has been accused of firing 'indiscriminate' dart-like shells over Bucha 'Flechette' munitions blast thousands of little shrapnel-like pieces over wide area They were first used in World War 1 and are not commonly in use today Forensic experts declared they found the flechettes in civilian corpses in Bucha Though not illegal, the use of flechettes is widely condemned in built-up areas https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...rts-blasted-Russia-rockets-forensics-say.html
Good for 24 km. With proper staging can even hit targets close to 30 km away. 155 Howitzers are very effective.
Love it. So proud of your countrymen and women! I've also heard reports that Ukraine has now mobilized a larger military force than Russia has. Russia has also moved soldiers from its own eastern borders into and around Ukraine. Russia is leaving its country unguarded trying to keep up with Ukrainian manpower. Ukraine is getting this done, and they will be the end of Russia as we know it.
Global Military Spending Tops $2 Trillion for First Time in History "If global leaders actually care about charting a more secure future, then we need a massive realignment in spending priorities," said one prominent peace group. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2...y-spending-tops-2-trillion-first-time-history
Video Uncovered! US Planning This For Years The video in question begins around the 14:30 minute mark, and ends around the 23:30 minute mark. The rest is the usual Lee Camp ranting.
I don't think that's much of a surprise to anybody... The US has no doubt hoped Russia would be this stupid all along.
If it's the end of Russia and Putin is left in a corner, what's to stop him from hitting the fuck it button and starting a thermo nuclear apocalypse?
Putin will be taken down before the end of Russia. He'll be taken out from within. Or, less likely IMO, he will make a deal for protection in another country to save his life. He's killing those closest to him. He is far weaker than he's letting on. It won't be long now. Another year. Two at most. Putin will be out and there will be nobody with any leadership ability to step up. He's killed anybody who could challenge him. He'll be killed before he's ready to give up and commit suicide (suicide by nukes). *Edit* And we get all big leg up on China as well. In fact, it may be thw end of China as a super power as well. They have no way to get enough energy now. It sucks, but this is all good for us here in the US.
