In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Maybe we should wait a little with the blaming until we know who leaked them.
According to this thread the earliest known apperance of the documents online was in a 4chan thread 3 days ago.
Wagner in central Bakhmut. Ukranian forces most likely moved to the western part of town and build a new defense line. Still, even if Bakhmut finally falls in a couple of weeks, Russia depleted their men and equipment just for a propaganda town, while Ukraine prepares 8 new brigades with 40.000 men and western armor for their offensive.
How do we know they have these new brigades etc?
Unfortunately I think it was costly for Ukraine too, just hopefully it was worth it.
Yeah, its a pointless exercise for the Russians and show how utterly desperate Putin is for a glimmer of success in Ukraine. He would've been much better off retaining Kherson, which is a fairly large city by Ukrainian standards. Let's hope the Ukrainian counteroffensive takes back most of their territory.
Some creative techniques from Vlad. The shamanic toad one in particular.
It's so depressing that a huge country full of life and people and culture can be spoken of in this manner.
The term "orcs" doesn't do justice to what these Russians are.
Although if you want a paranoid dictator to turn his focus on unnecessary purges of his intelligence services, this would be the article to publish.
To be fair (in regards to the snippet above from @VorZakone), it has felt like we had a better idea of what Russia is going to do than our friend Ukraine...especially early on.
Could this be used as evidence in an international human rights court? Not that Dima necessarily makes it that far.
Just wow! Jfc, that's a scary read.
My only reply to that "tweet" was me telling the dwarf to eat shit.
It was a dumb tweet to send given that a vast majority of twitter are against the invasion, and unlike in Russia, he can't control the narrative on social media.
Just a reminder that we have quite a few people including the likes of Macron who are constantly pushing for negotiations. If anyone still needed further proof that there is absolutely nothing to negotiate about, here we go. They don’t even hide their genocidal ambitions. Military win is the only way for Ukraine and it was obvious since day 1.
Middle Eastern Twitter investors are enjoying the current returns on their gas and oil I guess?
Why people leave Russia and don’t come here?
The western armor collection grows.
Ukraine also reported about 470 liquidated personnel and 0 destroyed tanks in their daily report. That indicates, that Russia stopped its offensive moves and prepares for Ukraine's offensive. In any case, stopping Russia's winter offensive and not losing any key positions is another big win for Ukraine.
The coming offensive will determine how long the war will continue. If it fails, Putin will continue his war of attrition. If it succeeds, Putin will be under big pressure to negotiate.

Do we know what the state of the battlefields are in terms of terrain? That we don't see any destroyed tanks could also be an indication that they can't get anywhere due to being bogged down in mud and what have you, so Russia can only send in the infantry.
Sure, the thaw kills every heavy armor movement right now, but 470 liquidated personnel is also an indicator. Ukraine reported daily around 1000 Russian KIA during their winter offensive.
Has this been posted already? Seems like the US has much lower killed estimations than many here seem to assume, for both sides. If this whole thing is real, which seems to be a bit up in the air.
Will there ever be an end to this shitshow and what is it about anyway?
Hard to tell. One side wants to conquer a sovereign nation and erase it from existence and another side and its allies want a total victory by removing the enemy and ensuring they never have to deal with them again.
Both are lofty goals.
Only the former is the case. If Putin wanted to end the war by leaving Ukrainian land, he could do it today and the Ukrainians would stop fighting.
