‼️ Russia: “Rumors are circulating in Russia about the resignations of Nabiullina and Mishustin and the introduction of a "mobilization economy."” NOTE: These are just rumors, that doesn’t mean they are true. What is interesting is that they are circulating 👀 ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/06/11/v...

So are they saying they have intentionally avoided strikes on defense industries till now out of the kindness of their little black hearts?

I recelled that one of UV's team members had been musing about getting some guys from LATAM together and it reminded me of him. Apparently two groups on motorcycles from two directions cleared 15 bunkers and a similar number of individual fighting positions.

@kmizokami.bsky.social Saw an interesting report today from Ukraine. Apparently some UAF along with "a group of Latin American volunteers" pushed the Russians out of a forested area near Starytsya, northeast of Kharkiv toward the Vovchans'k area. 1/

4/ SpaceX’s blocking of Russia’s Starlink satellite connection in Ukraine in early February likely also enabled Ukrainian advances in Dnipropetrovsk. Putin continues to exaggerate Russian battlefield advances despite Ukrainian forces’ recent liberation of significant territory in southern Ukraine.

Combat missions of Ukrainian ground drones armed with machine guns. During the sorties the drones destroy Russian FPV drones lying in ambush on roads, eliminate Russian infantry, survive artillery fire, and provide suppressive fire on enemy positions forcing enemy infantry to retreat.

Well, I assumed the picture shown was just a small cropping, I didn't have any idea at the time what the entire picture was. I was pointing out that an octopus in conjunction with money COULD be perceived that way depending on the context.

Could be taken as anti-Semitic with the octopus thing and having to do with money. The octopus was a common Nazi symbol used to symbolize global Jewry.

Yeah. Had they put the invasion off and waited about a month for the next time the tides/moon were right they would have had one hell of an easier time of it, might have shortened the war, but also might not have been able to keep the secret that long.

In my opinion there is less than a 10% probability of anything happening before the end of the Winter Olympics and a less than 50% chance of anything happening before the USS Bush arrives in the Med. So nothing until mid March, at the earliest.

"I congratulate you! Your commanders will try to send you back to the war as quickly as possible." - Nothing unusual. Russian convicts who have just returned from Ukrainian captivity are already being warned at the border that they’ll be sent back into assault units as soon as possible.
