Russian crossing of the Oskol was strangely uneventful, they just crossed from 2-3 points and established a pretty solid bridgehead on the other side of the river. I expected some grand battle when they would inevitably cross the river one day, but it was pretty anticlimactic and Ukrainian troops on the west bank of the river seem to be unprepared and outnumbered even by some Russian troops without heavy equipment. Kurakhove, Velika Novosilka and Toretsk seem to be wrapping up by the end of January, next step is probably Pokrovsk until some bigger Russian movements by summer 2025. The war in the current pace still doesn’t reach any final stage until summer 2026.

I think one of the big reasons things are so slow is that Russia is more than happy to kill Ukrainians on the battlefield. They are slaughtering Ukrainians in war, why speed things up when they could easily wipe out any resistance before it even forms?

A big question for all the ladies: If you were alone in the woods, would you rather meet a weird robot, or a weird guy?

Forgive my ignorance, but hasn’t Russia destroyed Ukrainian electricity infrastructure? I really have a rough time believing Russia is half assing things if Ukrainian homes are lacking heating. Also, I have a rough time calling it half ass if Russia is slaughtering the Ukrainian armed forces…

What the flying fuck is wrong with Texa$?

Bummer, gotta think with a bit more time and research they could used the recycled bottles. Guess the tech just isn’t there yet
