Truth Bomb by OVD: Ukraine update

 Hey Everyone,

  I have not been posting a lot as I've been dealing with health and financial issues. This should bring you up to date on the Russo/Ukraine war. I will post about the up coming US election soon. Thanks for your patience and support. You all are literally keeping me alive. Thank you.

  The situation in the Russo/Ukraine war is really good for Ukraine and horrible for the Russians. If you remember your WWII history, when Hitler changed his tactics in the Battle for The UK from attacking air fields and bases with his air power to London and other cities, he lost all hope of taking the UK and the war turned to the allies favor. The same thing is happening in Ukraine. the Russians have shifted to bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure. A fail move. All this will accomplish is getting more Ukrainians to join the military to fight back. Proven fact, bombing people makes them hate you. The Ukrainians are poised to take Kherson in the next few weeks if not days. I suspect the Russians will throw conscript fodder at the Ukrainians to slow them down. The Russians will most likely blow the damn if Ukraine looks like it will take Kherson. This will kill thousands, as it is a huge damn. The city will be wrecked by the wave and flooded for years. Making it unlivable. Any Military units or civilians caught in that wave will perish. I hope the Ukrainians have a commando attack planned to save that damn because the Russians WILL blow it up. 

  In the middle of the lines the Wagner group(Mercenaries and criminals) are trying to take Bakhmut. They have been fighting there for weeks, gaining only a little ground. Also the Russians have attacked just north of there with conscripts towards the Lyman area. I suspect the Ukrainians will do another attack in the North going around those new troops and sweeping down behind the Wagner group. If they pull this off, it's game over for the Russians. They will lose their best troops and the easiest force to supply. The southern force gets it's supplies from that bridge that was just wrecked. So even with a sizable force down there they will fall. Especially if they can't feed them this winter. 

  There is also talk of Belarus attacking northern Ukraine in an attempt to cut western supplies from Poland. The Belarus army is conscripts and poorly equipped and poorly trained. They already sent all their armor to the Russians so any attack by them would be suicide. The Ukrainians have armored units up there defending a dug in trench line. That area is also where the Ukrainian Partisans held up again the Nazis...for the whole war. It's mountains and trees. An attack just before winter with under equipped troops and "Russian supply lines" is utter madness. This could also spark a war with Poland and thus NATO, as the Polish border is right there. That being said neither Putin nor his toadie care about losing men. So it's possible. 

  Another factor in all this is the Draft in Russia. Those poor souls are cannon fodder. Again if you look at History, Russia will throw bodies into the lines but at the same time start training and equipping a real force. In WWII the did this in the Urals and Siberia. Putin is very Stalin like, so expect the Russians to have a new trained and equipped army within a year. These conscripts will be used as fodder to hold the lines until that new force is ready. They will call up millions if they have too. This could lead to Putin's(or Putler as the Ukrainians call him) fall. It's how the Czar fell during WWI. Also Russia is not the USSR so this new army won't be bigger that 200k and not modernly equipped as Russia doesn't have the factories or money to build a war time economy. Ak-47's and T-62's. By the time this "army" is ready it will be too little too late. 

  I want to be clear. Russia is losing this war. It's all a matter of time. the only thing that could possibly reverse that is the Republicans taking over the House and/or Senate and cutting Ukraine off or even supporting Russia directly. There are Clear signs the Russians are screwing with this election too and the polls are switching back to red. Please vote and get others to vote. This election is more than just the economy or even women's rights. This is a battle between fascists(like Putler, Kim Jong-un, Xi and Trumpty Dumpty) and Democratic Republics(The West). The Republicans are already talking about crashing the economy just to make Biden look bad. If these traitors win we are screwed and so is Ukraine and the West.
