Musk’s Terse Message To Ukraine, Says ‘Starlink Is To Watch Netflix, Not Bombing Russia’ | Details

SpaceX owner Elon Musk said that Starlink is for people to watch Netflix and chill, not to strike Russia. This after his book "Elon Musk," written by US journalist Walter Isaacson, claimed that Musk secretly ordered engineers to suspend Starlink service near Crimea after Ukraine’s armed sea drones, strapped with explosives, were poised to attack the Russian fleet in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol in October 2022. Musk feared that a Ukrainian attack would lead to nuclear retaliation from Moscow.

Germany Takes India's 'Help' For Russian Oil ; NATO Nation Exposes Bloc's Ukraine Unity | Details

A sensational report has exposed NATO member Germany's double standards. Berlin has hugely increased imports of Russian oil despite western sanctions. Germany is reportedly turning to India as a substitute supplier of Russian crude. Berlin’s imports of petroleum products from India jumped more than twelvefold in January–July 2023 year-on-year. The sanctioned nation's oil is flowing in Berlin regardless of the EU ban in December 2022.

Russian Counterattack Near Bakhmut

In the context of the night combined strike <Post #3629> in the Black Sea and Crimea, it is once again interesting to assess the actions of NATO intelligence in the run-up to this attack.

Yesterday, at least six aircraft and drones of the US Air Force and NATO Allied Forces operated over the Black Sea waters, ranging from AWACS and RTR (including for direction finding of air defense radars) to electronic reconnaissance.

And the strategic UAV RQ-4B generally carried out monitoring both south of Crimea and near the Krasnodar Territory, as well as the Crimean Bridge. The distance to Yalta and Sochi was about 100 km.

📌 We are not hinting at anything, but almost every NATO activity near the Russian borders is accompanied after a day or two by either provocations or attacks on the southern territories.

And if we add to this the constant filming of the Earth’s surface from military satellites, such as TOPAZ, which observed the shipyard for several days before the attack, then a more complete picture emerges.

By the way, some time ago the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the destruction of another unmanned boat of the AFU. And right now, an R-8A anti-submarine aircraft is operating along the coast of Romania, which monitors the activities of Russian warships.

Vremevsky section
situation as of 16.00 September 14, 2023

After several unsuccessful and lengthy attempts to capture the villages of Novomayorskoye and Novodonetsk, enemy marine units went on the defensive due to heavy losses. Currently, assault groups are being rotated and re-equipped along the site.

At the same time, Russian artillerymen are conducting an active counter-battery fight - according to Voin DV (https://t.me/voin_dv), a D-30 howitzer was destroyed in Bolshaya Novoselka, and several personnel deployment points and several pieces of equipment were hit along the front line.

🔻 The main activity of the AFU remained at the Priyutnoye - Staromayorskoye border, where the assault troops of the AFU' territorial defense attempted to take landings between populated areas.

However, soldiers of the Russian army, with the support of artillery, successfully repelled the attack, forcing the enemy to retreat to their starting points. In turn, Russian troops hit several rear positions of the AFU, which affects the ability to quickly make up for losses and go on the attack.

Vuhledar sector
situation as of 17.00 September 14, 2023

Against the background of activity in the south of Ukraine, the situation with Vuhledar is out of the information agenda. The last really serious clashes took place there several months ago.

First, Russian troops carried out an unsuccessful assault, attacking a large fortified area with completely mined approaches in a frontal attack, and then the AFU did essentially the same thing.

🔻And now in the Vuhledar sector there are only positional battles, where Russian artillerymen are trying to hit the rear areas, creating problems in supplying the AFU group.

Over the past 24 hours, the Russian army destroyed the deployment point for personnel of the 72nd mechanized brigade of the AFU in Vuhledar, and two ammunition warehouses were hit at the Yuzhno-Donbasskaya mine. A similar firefight is taking place at the Marinka -Novomikhailovka line.

This will not be able to somehow influence the situation at the front, but it will at least reduce the enemy’s operational capabilities to conduct attacks on Russian positions on the Pavlovka-Nikolskoye line.

Russian 'Alligators' Tear Down Ukrainian Command Post, Tanks; Gripping Mission On Cam | Watch

Several Ukrainian military hardware items were also smashed in the deadly attacks.

Biden Official Admits Russia, China Challenge To U.S., ‘One Era Ending, New One Beginning…’ | Watch

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has made big claims, stating that the world is transitioning to a new diplomatic order. He emphasized that the U.S. must lead the way in overcoming increasing threats from Russia and China by working with its allies to build trust among nations for whom the old system failed. “One era is ending, a new one is beginning, and the decisions that we take now will shape the future for decades to come", Blinken said.

as i believe the psst after your question has replied to you regarding when he said all those, constantly predicting wrong for one and half years or more can't be considered very credible about what he is saying. in fact if all his prediction has been so wrong, most likely what he recently said is probably opposite is true. Ukraine counter offensive is moving onwards as careful as possible with attempt to minimize casualties on its own side.

which seems likely true for past 2 months or more, they are moving forward and every time russia media says Ukrainian forces has taken heavy casualties for oast half a year, i am sure the offensive would have capitulated just like russia winter offensive after a few days of attack only.

i am not here to convince you but this is just my opinion and seemingly the fact Ukrainian continue to moved forward and put pressure on three fronts against russians seems to go inline with my opinion.

How long will Russia keep using Sevastapol? Once it becomes too vulnerable to Ukrainian strikes, the value of Crimea to Russia is significantly reduced. They would still be concerned about losing Crimea, but then for only defensive purposes, as many more Russian targets would be exposed with Ukrainian liberation.

If youre wrong once, maybe its bad luck. If youre consistently wrong, then youre useless.

It kinda shows how pro-russians need to scrape the barrel, and even then have to recycle the same three or four people every week.

The Bandera regime is losing... You don't like Douglas Macgregor then don't watch it. Let's just agree to disagree. I never make a fuss of your cut and paste Twitter post from the same ukro propaganda Twitter accounts...

now that you pointed it out, its not like i don't like retired colonel Douglas Macgregor, i hardly even know he exist till you posted about him... and now he is a good source of indicator of how the Ukrainian offensive is going, since everything he predicted happens in opposite 👍🏻

i agree to disagree.

i don't make fun of what your posting but i do make a question remark on the source or what it is saying. for example, russian MOD reported to have destroy Ukrainian aircraft twice the amount that Ukrainian has prior to 2022?

Like their master, only they can do it (e.g. banning x products, selling weapons, posting propaganda) but when others do the same, cannot.
