My guess is that Ukraine planned to blow the plant once they had some gains in their counter-offensive, and blame panicked/retreating Russians. Now it looks like all they can do is shell the plant, and hope to hit one of the waste storage vessels. They will of course blame Russia for any leak and hope they can rope NATO deeper into the conflict as a result.

Lol keep on believing their counteroffensive "fizzled out" - they are barely even 10% in to it.

They are not even seriously focusing on punching through the Russian lines yet, instead they are destroying Russian capacity first.

+1. Russia seems to be pouring everything it has into the current counter attacks. If anything, it's unclear where Russia will be able to obtain more troops, since they've started cannibalizing the police.

"police chiefs are considering reassigning special units of the Russian Federal Drug Control Service to Rosgvardiya, the Russian national guard"
https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-beefing-security-services-because-114821496.html

The Rosgvardiya isn't National Guard like it is in the US.

"it consolidated the forces of the MVD Internal Troops, SOBR, OMON and other internal military forces outside of the Russian Armed Forces"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Guard_of_Russia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_National_Guard_of_Russia

Remember that OMAN and SOBR were those lovable stormtrooper type guys who cracked heads when the USSR collapsed. A weak analogy might be re-assigning DEA SWAT teams to a Nazi brownshirt version of the FBI SWAT with APC's and Automatic Grenade Launchers..? Kinda hard to describe.

There's also the economic factor. Ukraine is cushioned by many countries providing economic / military aid and support. Russia is on it's own, so it's understandable why Russia is coordinating with OPEC to cut oil production, but it may take a few weeks or months before prices help them any. The theory is cutting production will raise oil prices, therefore Russian gas will be more valuable.

Yet something else is going on with Russia's economy. Today the Ruble was 90.75 to 1 USD; a far cry from the 25'ish to 1 ratio Russia enjoyed before 2010. A month ago it was 80 to 1.

"As of January 1, 2022, retirees in Russia received a gross pension of approximately 16,900 Russian rubles on average (monthly)"
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093950/average-monthly-retirement-benefit-value-russia/

Why is this important?

That's about USD $186.23 (in 2009, that would've been $676, and a year ago about $318). It means the average Russian's buying power was just cut in half from last year and a third from 15 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNuAR4k09_4

These propaganda videos are meant to show how full the shelves are, but look at the prices. If a single cut of fish (one meal) is 1500 rub, do the math. A pensioner will have about 10 meals and their paycheck is done. She focused on the red-tagged (sale) fish or meatballs (300-400 rub, but we don't know why it's on sale - is it rancid? we don't really know..), but we do know the wine is 500-600 rub (about USD $5.60 to 6.60 a bottle, with a sale that the second bottle is half that price). Cakes are 500 to 700 rub and stacked on the shelves - again, with no one buying them.

Take a look at the people shopping. Big store, fully stocked, but only a handful of customers? It might be that she's shopping at 6 am, but look carefully at the video [17:06 / 29:53]. 1300 and 700 rub per kilo for shrimp and the ones on sale were 400. Shrimp doesn't last long unfrozen - two days tops.

Just because the US exchange rate is attractive and makes goods look cheap, doesn't mean that the average Russian pensioner with only 16,900 rub a month can afford it.

My question is whether Russia in hyperinflation?

Going into global isolation to own the libs...

Total isolation? Yeah. Things must be breaking down at a quick clip internally for them to go this extreme. Putin has conditioned the Kremlin to tighten screws and overreact to the slightest provocation. The problem is that they can't turn back time or undo bad decisions. The North Korean model might have worked if Russia started doing it in the 60's, but now? I know the Russian Government is trying to make it impossible to organize dissent, but anytime the Internet is cut off, it will just cause fear and panic with anyone under 40. However, it's an indicator that they're still on track towards total anarchy within two'ish years.

Newsweek make it sound like managing Zelensky and Ukraine has been more difficult than anticipated. Interesting timing with all the threats about ZNPP.

Russia now has fewer tanks than Ukraine.

Russia started with 3400 tanks, now has 1400. Ukraine started with 987, now has 1500.

Though Russia does still have an advantage where it comes to artillery. That is where HIMARS, Storm Shadows, ATACMS and other things will hopefully help them.

Downside is many animals would/could be killed.

So if there were any way to protect the fish and wildlife I would explore it; but if could seriously make lots of Russians sick for years or actually kill them it may be worth it.

I would not think twice about the environment. Any nation that abducts kids by the 10s of thousands is right there with nazis.

Any mass Russian casualty event is a good event; even if it is away from the front lines.

Bottom line is that the plant is in Russian control, so if anything happens to it, it's Russia's responsibility. If they are so worried about ZNPP being targeted militarily then maybe they should leave it and leave a wide, demilitarized buffer around it, to keep any risk of conflict from spilling over and affecting it, as they have repeatedly been asked to do, but have repeatedly ignored and refused to do.

Reminder: Russia has ZERO legitimate business even being there in the first place.

LOL like the US was in full control of lower Manhattan on 9/11?

It would be amusing to see how Zelensky's fortunes will turn out at the end.

Typically history is not kind to men who had such a meteoric rise for reasons outside of their merit, and then believed their own PR. Nowhere to go but down. Check back in ten years.

Men like Zelensky are fighting against this -

"Alexei Moskalyov was sentenced in March to two years in a penal colony for discrediting the Russian army"
"the investigation started after Masha, then 12, drew a picture last year showing Russian missiles raining down on a Ukrainian mother and child, prompting the head of her school to call the police."
"the case drew world attention as Masha was removed from her father and placed in a children's home before his trial."
"some people in the courtroom cried when Moskalyov read out a letter from Masha in which she called him the world's best father and told him: "We will be together, whatever happens.""
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-court-spurns-emotional-appeal-161516242.html

Christian Crusaders were ridiculed and died for their beliefs. Yet, history remembers them.

Regardless of Zelensky's fate in ten years, good or otherwise, he will be remembered forever as a man of principle who fought for justice.

And you? Will history fondly remember you for making snide remarks on an anonymous board?

What? Yeah, history remembers them as invaders, marauders and destroyers of the Arab lands. Go to hell with your white savior nonsense.

The Russian internal witch hunt seems to have helped disrupt part of the Russian troll farms that interfered with US elections. This should help more clearly identify internet traffic directly associated to the Internet Research Agency - since they will be silent (at least for now). And if Putin wants to quickly re-spin these back up again, it will further drain the foreign exchange funds he directly controls - which should be interesting if he has to rob Peter?

"As of Saturday, websites of the RIA FAN news agency and four online news portals controlled by Prigozhin's Patriot media holding company "People's News", "Neva News", "Politics Today" and "Economy Today" -- were listed on a register of blacklisted sites maintained by the communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor."
"Unconfirmed reports in Russian news outlets Friday claimed that Prigozhin himself had ordered a shut down of St. Petersburg-based Patriot. Prigozhin has not directly confirmed or denied the reports.
Patriot, founded in 2019 to bring together Prigozhin's media and internet assets, included the Internet Research Agency, the so-called "troll farm" linked to Russian attempts to meddle in U.S. elections."
"Patriot director Yevgeny Zubarev said this week that the Internet Research Agency, which was tasked with conducting online influence operations to advance Russian interests, had operated under Prigozhin's control since 2009 before being brought under the Patriot umbrella."
https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230702/p2g/00m/0in/008000c

The witch hunt in Russia is off to a fine start, and it looks like the ultranationalists are in the lead. This is an example of a Russian public trial / interrogation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY-zTi_ZXtw

Notice the host of this show is Roman Babayan. His backgroud is interesting. He's a "journalist" who's been awarded the Order "For Personal Courage", the NATO medal "For participation in the NATO peacekeeping operation in Kosovo", Medal "For Strengthening of Brotherhood in Arms", the medal "For Strengthening the Military Commonwealth", Medal "For the Return of Crimea" and the Combat Brotherhood medal.

https://ru.wikipedia.org/?oldid=97164361
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16272951

One of Babayan's supporters on the Russian State Duma is Oleg Matveychev. Oleg "dreamed of gathering the Russian opposition on a city square and calling in an army of tanks to mow them down. 'And then, like after Tiananmen in China, we would also have 10% annual economic growth after 20 or 30 years'"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Matveychev

Babayan has a reputation as a "role is to provoke conflicts between the participants of the talk shows, to increase the degree of aggression and to expose opponents of the Kremlin’s policy as stupid, weak and hot-tempered people"
"On his talk show, he regularly screams at his guests and even engages in fights"
https://www.spisok-putina.org/en/personas/babayan-2/

This is possibly a sign that the people on the panel of this show are "suspected" of lacking complete loyalty? That is significant since the tables have been turned on the Iron Beaver (Margarita Simonyan, Head of RT, and often the show's host when she appears)

With this in mind, watch this show carefully.
[0:51/7:15] Head nodding and eye reaction to her statements.
[1:18 / 7:15] Admission of knowing Prigozhin many years.
[1:34 / 7:15] The accusation of Michael Bohm that he believed Prigozhin would succeed
[2:00 / 7:15] The accusation that Prigozhin was Michael Bohm's favorite authory
[2:49 / 7:15] Implying there was a connection between Prigozhin's actions and Michael's publications
[4:40 / 7:15] The Iron Beaver smells blood in the water and starts shoving Michael under the bus
[5:15 / 7:15] The Iron Beaver figuratively points the finger taunting 'I told you so'
[6:30 / 7:15] By this time Babayan had Margarita on the defensive, explaining why it's a bad idea to attack western capital cities.

"That disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us at the CIA - at our core a human intelligence service. We're not letting it go to waste."

There you go again, anyone who disagrees with your "Glory to Biden!" thing must be a troll.

I mean it couldn't possibly be the case that you've bored others to tears, could it?

Sorry? I think you're thinking of someone else's post? There are more than one people posting here.

I didn't mention Biden. I mentioned Trump, whom I believe was Russia's 'useful idiot' in the White House. I also believe that Russian intelligence files hold dirt on many, many government and elected officials. Check out the older threads on Tucker for a big list of possibly compromised Americans.

I also believe that if this article is true (700K children kidnapped), that this is Russia's new model of re-filling it's soldier pipeline - kidnapping the children of those they conquer.

"Russia confirms hosting 700,000 Ukrainian children from war zones"
https://www.dailysabah.com/world/europe/russia-confirms-hosting-700000-ukrainian-children-from-war-zones

If you want to spew drivel about Biden, go find another thread that cares. My concern is the indifference people like you have over what's really happening between Ukraine and Russia. I think you should pay more attention - since it could affect your own children someday.

Why would it affect my own children, of all people?

Is your heart bleeding over every single armed conflict in the world today? What is with this ridiculous expectation that there should be a premium on Ukrainian pain? They are not the first country being invaded and they certainly won't be the last.

Next time you vote boys and girls, Democrats and Republicans that hate Trump, want a war with Russia. Think about that hard and long. And there is not enough people in the military to fight a war with Russia. Guess what boys and girls: you will both be drafted and you will die in Russia.
You bought the garbage that Yahoo/CNN/FACEBOOK/CBS/NBC/ABC etc all have told you about Obama, Hillary, Biden - and these 3 people WANT A WAR WITH RUSSIA and will support the draft. Bet you a dollar Malia doesn't get drafted.
Maybe Trump is not the enemy, maybe Yahoo, and the trolls that will come out of the wordwork and attack this little response are your enemies.

MIND NUMBINGLY LUDICROUS AND STUPID TAKE.

WE didn't somehow force Russia to invade Ukraine. This was entirely Putin's doing. It is a 100% a war of HIS choice. This war would be OVER TOMORROW if Putin stopped his completely unjustified, illegal invasion and left Ukrainian territory. FACTS MATTER.

STOP with your BULLSHIT.

Doesn't matter if it's from ISW, it's still far more credible than RT, and your favorite TV pundits like Simonyan and Solovyov... But if you don't like hearing about it from ISW, you'll also hear from numerous Russian milbloggers about how things are not going well for Russia and that in many parts of the front they are in retreat and out of resources.

These numbers are so laughably bad. Russia started with 10,000 or so T-72s alone.
