Ukrainian Marines have established positions on the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region and are advancing further into Russian-held territory across several sectors, according to a senior Ukrainian military officer.

According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Crimea.Realities on November 7, Colonel Alim Kerimov, chief of staff of Ukraine’s 34th Separate Marine Brigade, confirmed that Ukrainian forces are maintaining multiple positions on the eastern bank while conducting assaults against Russian defensive positions.

    Rivers are very difficult obstacles to cross on an offensive.

    That's quite an accomplishment!

    RFU had a video about this particular offensive recently.

    Aside from the widely lauded midrange anti-logistics campaign, the AFU softened up the Russian forces across the river by dropping ground drones, combined with misinformation in the Russian military situation reporting.

    It'll still be difficult for the AFU to hold onto these gains when the Russians get their act together, because there are few natural fortifications.

    You're using dehumanizing (a form of othering), racist language, in this case tainted russophobic.
    United24Media is a major propaganda outlet of the Ukrainian state.
    Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which provided the initial reporting, is the US's main anti-Russian propaganda outlet and was initially funded by the CIA to agitate against the Soviet Union and still fills this role until today, only against Russia. There's also Radio Free Asia, which is the equivalent for China.
    These are not trustworthy information.

    Don't be a racist, gullible tool.

    No one cares if Nazi feelings are hurt. Please take your soapbox to a better use of (y)our time, fellow resistance anon. ✊🏼

    Good info re: the notorious agitprop machine, though! Keep awareness up! 🤘🏼

    Russians = Nazis = Okay to to be racist about it, got it. Surely the intermediate step is not just a fig leaf for your own racism.

    Ah, yes, logical fallacy. Such a smart tactic. 🙄

    To clarify for anyone else reading through your bad actor bullshit:

    Russians doing Nazi shit are motherfucking Nazis. Full stop.

    Now, kindly find your own ass and stop it from talking. 😙

    Even if that was true, that it would be an actually reasonable analysis to call Russians Nazis, which I won't waste my time on now, you'd still support and use clearly racist language. That's on you, not on me and also not some kind of tactic.
    And since you have so many suggestions for me, here's one for you: maybe instead of vomiting out twenty dumb comments per hour, start by putting some actual thought into them first.

    Of course your next tactic is ad hominem? FFS. Do you have a single original thought in there? What a tired & tattered playbook you've got. Bye, cupcake.

    It seems that you have a hard time focusing on the substance, which was the racism, which you excuse by putting an artificial filter in front of it. "If I first denounce them as Nazis/the enemy, it's surely okay to further dehumanize them." You can whine about me showcasing your own logical fallacies and try to make fun of that, but that doesn't change reality.

    I'm sorry you felt so triggered, when I called out another account for their racism. You might want to look into it.

    E: Also, a real highlight how you wine about being personally attacked after the demeaning attitude you threw at me before. Tool.

    No worries, wouldn't expect any actual empathy from a racist. But it is a sad state of affairs, indeed.

    K, and if we made the same investigation of you, what would we find? Putin's hand up your butt?

    Putin's hand up your butt?

    Points out racism and propaganda, gets called Pudding's sock puppet in a sexualized way and to be "investigated"; all by an account that collects bans for serial racism, misogyny and transphobia. Wonderful. Really the least fascist tendencies.

    You realize that's a childish take, right? I stated a few facts, not even sympathy with Russia, surely not any defence of the Russian aggression.

    But I've heard commentary like that before. It's usually from racists (Zionist) reacting in the very same way, when people show solidarity with Palestinians. They also say "Why don't you go to Gaza, if you love them so much". It's quite deranged.

    You certainly should be able to differentiate between "Gaza and Russia are the same" and "The racist mechanic towards the people (of Western enemies) is the same". Are you?

    If you'd want to discuss how Russia's and Palestine's existence, both are threatened by US and European imperialism, we could do that. But this thread is about the kind of rhetoric people use to dehumanize the other, the evil Hamas or the evil Russian or the evil Mullahs, again, the groups standing in the way of Western hegemony, the enemy we've all learned to hate through media such as the ones mentioned above.

    nobody was threatening Ruzzia's existence, except maybe China eyeing Vladivostok and East Siberia.

    Equidistant morals based politics and a misunderstanding of the so called authoritarian left usually generally (only) weakens resistance against the Western empire and plays into NATO narratives. But doubling down on racism like a 10 year old, ought to be a new low.

    I hope you get through it.

    In fantasy lore orcs are corrupted humans who can interbreed with humans. That is, the term is not dehumanizing. As for the racism argument, orcs are hated because of their actual behavior of killing and looting. Not because of prejudice. It's very much postjudice, unless you read funny fantasy. Exactly how Ruzzians are judged by their actual actions, not by their looks. Your efforts to blend that with racism weakens the fight against actual racism. Shame on you!

    Describes dehumanization, claims it's not dehumanization. Follows up with circular logic only to white-wash their own morally bankrupt language. Alrighty.

    Being a human has no intrinsic value. Being a civilized person does. Ruzzians are human of course but they behave like orcs. Calling them orcs reflects that reality. You are the one whitewashing their morally bankrupt behavior and try to guilt trip me, in a typical fashion of Ruzzian internet psy-ops.

    As a Ukrainian, i absolutely agree with the first statement. The second one tho? Depends on the definition. Russian culture is pretty rich (which is no wonder, considering the amount of nations that people usually put under the umbrella term). Russia is very similar to the US in a sense that it's a melting pot for a whole bunch of nations. The Russian nation deserves as much rights to exist as the Ukrainian, or matter of fact, any other one. I'm not a fan of nations in general tho, and think that they should die on the conceptual level.

    Yeah I thought I was being careful in my wording, but to be clear, I mean the current nation-state IE government, not the country. The Russian country produced my favourite artist in the world, LazySquare! And he's anti-war too so yeah.
