Videos of the AFU surrender of the Azofstal complex reveal a 4-lane semi-highway and a huge marshalling yard

Once rehabilitated a little — with this unique junction: sea/rail/road — this complex runs the strong risk of serving as a logistics rear base for the Russians (until winter and beyond) those who aspire to control by rail at using their diesel locomotives (Stratpol)

And then used “for reconstruction” at the same time as the rail convoys will not return empty, but with the wrecks and/or vehicles to be repaired from the front (and other tactical uses) without this encumbering the road network. In addition, there will be interconnection from the north with Russia and Belarus. We can therefore expect a loss of inertia and power from the Ukrainian army, which - instead of having believed it was "buying time" - has started on sidings which will be submerged one by one if they do not withdraw. And if they withdraw, will be copiously sprinkled with various devices in their flight, alas for them.

The prisoners will probably be mobilized for different tasks, although the “conventions” do not authorize it.
There would be more than 3 in total. But that number will grow.

We could also use these railway lines to deport the HH azovs to Russian gulags…

What?

Deportation, trains, rails, human cattle...that's their ideal, isn't it?

Bunches of shits!

German general about the situation at the front
What is being prepared now will not please the West at all. The Russians waged a war of attrition for weeks, which was less about gaining ground. On the contrary, when necessary, they sometimes withdrew from counter-offensives. But all these so-called victories so celebrated in the West are dearly acquired and paid for by increasingly massive losses. We are slowly coming to a point where not only supplies are running out. Above all, fuel will become increasingly rare. Ukraine is also slowly running out of soldiers. What is fighting there is no longer a regular army but more and more "territorial defense units" comparable to the Volkssturm of the Germans during the Second World War. Partly elderly civilians and reservists who are forced to do so.

However, anyone who said the Russians were bogged down in unwinnable trench warfare will suddenly find that the Russian offensive is accelerating. If the already heavily surrounded units of Sievierodonetsk, Lysychansk and Lyman capitulate at some point, suddenly everything can happen very quickly. As we increasingly see, Western arms deliveries have no bearing on the outcome. On the contrary, the West cannot deliver the material so quickly that the Ukrainian army loses it again. There are also growing reports from Ukrainian POWs that some of what the West provides is simply useless. In particular, the Javelins, which were so highly praised at the start, shouldn't work for the most part at all.

Replay: already available
Erratum: Captain Juving-Brunet

To remember the little sentence heavy with meaning on the confiscation of democratic processes and reflection on its (geo)political component:

— The war in Ukraine has arrived on a “health front”


We can't wait for the members of the “Comedy Club” to enlighten us with their lights with humanism on the events to come.

Because you support a camp you? What is that, again, one of your dazzling incompetence in geopolitical analysis?
You should know that as it stands, what both sides need is PEACE, and failing that what kyiv needs is not new equipment without training in an unmanageable turnover and without their ammunition , but “fresh troops” at the front...

Former leader of the ruling Social Democratic Party, Oskar Lafontaine, has attributed where responsibility for the conflict in Ukraine lies

Cause of the conflict: NATO's refusal to listen to Moscow

Former German SPD leader points to root causes of conflict in Ukraine

A veteran German politician said the West's refusal to listen to Moscow's concerns is one of the main causes of the current conflict in Ukraine. Oskar Lafontaine, who was chairman of the Social Democrats from 1995 to 1999, has accused the West of ignoring Russia's security interests for years.

In an interview with the left-leaning newspaper Junge Welt and published on Saturday, Mr. Lafontaine said that "for a long time we have been in a situation where Russia and China are militarily surrounded by the United States." The former SPD leader says Moscow had made it clear to NATO for 20 years that Ukraine should not be part of the military alliance - a scenario, which Lafontaine said would mean the deployment of US missiles on the Ukraine-Russia border.

"These security interests have been systematically ignored," the politician said. And this was "one of the main reasons for the outbreak of war in Ukraine."

Speaking about Ukraine's NATO aspirations, the former SPD chairman rejected the argument that each country is free to decide which alliance to join.

“Everyone knows that the United States would never accept Cuba joining a military alliance with Russia, nor the deployment of Russian missiles on the American border with Mexico or Canada,” Mr. Fountain.

According to the German politician, Russia's main concern in Ukraine is not NATO membership per se, but the prospect of missiles appearing on the border with minimal warning time.

Mr. Lafontaine broke down the Ukraine crisis into three key phases: first, NATO's relentless eastward expansion, despite warnings from within the United States that this strategy risked provoking conflict with the Russia; second, President Putin's “decision to invade Ukraine”; and third, Joe Biden's "war of attrition."

The politician said America's $40 billion aid package to Ukraine, consisting mostly of weapons, is further "proof that the United States does not want peace."

"They want to weaken their Russian rival and say so openly," he added.

Mr. Lafontaine, however, made it clear that he condemns this war, "just as I unreservedly condemn all other wars that violate international law."

The politician argued that sending more weapons to Ukraine will prolong the war, which means "even more people will die." He accused Western politicians of only thinking in terms of "victory" and "defeat", ignoring the "most important" aspect, which is saving lives.

According to Mr. Lafontaine, "those who do not want other people to die must be against any prolongation of the war, and consequently also against any delivery of arms."

He criticized the argument that, by providing military support to kyiv, the West helps Ukraine to defend itself, wondering why no one called for supporting "countries attacked by the United States with deliveries of German arms" in the past.

Of the sanctions against Russia, Mr. Lafontaine said that they are "increasingly hurting people back home - especially low-income people, who can no longer pay their energy bills."

We shoot ourselves in the knee. The United States is probably laughing at us because they barely get hit by the sanctions, they can sell their liquefied natural gas to Europe in larger quantities, and their defense industry gets a lot of contracts.
The former SPD chairman believes that the current German leadership is unable to work in the interests of the country, being nothing more than a "loyal vassal of the United States".

Mr Lafontaine notes that the Greens party, which is part of the ruling coalition, has firmly entrenched itself as the “extended arm of the United States in the Bundestag” since the war in Yugoslavia. The party "supports all American decisions on war", the politician said, adding that the Greens only pay attention to human rights abuses when they occur in Russia or China.

The party's current position illustrates a radical transformation from the pacifist political force it once was. The Social Democratic Party, of which the current Chancellor Olaf Scholz is a member, has also changed radically, according to its former president, moving away from its principles of peace, disarmament and social improvements.

Mr. Lafontaine reserved particular criticism for the German press, which “is blind to US war crimes” while providing a platform for warmongers.

The veteran German politician said many in Germany feared the "war was spreading", calling on the public to take to the streets, in keeping with the tradition of the "peace movement of the 1980s".

Some Russians have much more dignity than many French people

Mr Bondarev, who also served in the Russian Foreign Ministry, added: "I regret to admit that in all these 20 years the level of lies and lack of professionalism in the work of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Foreign Affairs has steadily increased."
He continued: "I just can't share this bloody, stupid and utterly unnecessary ignominy anymore."

You're right (for once and I'm sincere): apart from NDA and Asseulineau, no politician dares to make this statement of mental corruption in France...
