Savage Kari on the 2020 Election: “81 million votes for Joe Biden? Don’t insult my intelligence…. and if you believe that this guy who hid in his basement, who can’t even walk down to the bathroom and make it in time, won? I worry about your intelligence.” 😂🔥

"So far, Ukraine’s planned military assault, originally announced for November 2022, has been postponed indefinitely. Foreign sources differ in their assessment of Kiev’s readiness for a counterattack against Russia and agree that it is difficult for the Ukrainians to gather enough forces.
What is stopping the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) from advancing now?
One of the main problems preventing the AFU from carrying out the announced offensive is considered to be a lack of experienced personnel.
A large portion of the combat-ready, equipped and motivated cadre units of the AFU (as well as the NGU and Territorial Defense) have already been destroyed in Mariupol, Artemovsk, Soledar, Popasnaya, Lisichansk, Severodonetsk and during the battles in the Kherson and Kharkov regions in the summer of 2022. Meanwhile, a new grouping of equal professionalism and equipment levels has not yet been formed. However, NATO and US officials differ in their estimates of the number of AFU formations.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said after the Rammstein Contact Group meeting earlier this year that Western countries had managed to prepare nine armored brigades. This figure is questionable, however, as at least 837 tanks would be needed for that size of a deployment. After Rammstein, Austin reported deliveries of 230 battle tanks, suggesting a deliberate misrepresentation of the size of the Ukrainian group.
Michel Goya, a French army colonel and renowned expert on modern warfare and combat innovation estimates that no more than three or four Ukrainian brigades could realistically be trained and armed by NATO and the US in the time frame allowed.
...The conceptual problem of the offensive is the lack of surprise. AFU units are awaited from all directions – from Artemovsk to Kherson, so it is extremely difficult to surprise Russian forces in such a situation. Moreover, the movements of the Ukrainian army are well monitored, and it is almost impossible to accumulate a group of 20,000-150,000 troops unnoticed in such conditions. If they abandon massing their soldiers, and spread the forces across the front, all the advantages of large numbers are lost.
An additional difficulty is time. Delaying an offensive means not only guaranteeing the loss of Artemovsk/Bakhmut, which is being cleared at the rate of two or three blocks every 24 hours, but also disrupting the plans of foreign partners and nullifying all the financial and military aid provided so far. Moreover, every day that the AFU's offensive is delayed is an extra day for the Russian army to prepare and reinforce.
...Slow delivery of foreign equipment is also an issue. Although Bradley BMPs and Leopard 2 tanks are already in Ukraine, the amount of equipment is only enough to equip one or two mechanized brigades (6,000-7,000 men). The rest will receive light armored vehicles whose survivability in a high-intensity conflict is minimal.
Further, deliveries of Western air defense systems, essential to any major offensive, are either severely delayed, only arriving in the form of Stinger and Starstreak man-portable air defense systems, or in the form of short-range SAMs such as the Avenger and Stormer HMVs.
The main technical difficulty is the lack of significant numbers of attack aircraft and air superiority. Yes, the Ukrainian air defense system is still in place and functioning, but the stationary air defense systems are getting worse at dealing with missile attacks and cannot be re-assigned for the offensive. The number of operational fighters and attack aircraft in the Ukrainian Air Force is unknown, but a significant proportion of these could be shot down by the Russian Air Force at the start of the operation...."

🇧🇷 A court has ordered the suspension of Telegram in Brazil.
The decision states that app stores must immediately remove Telegram from their services. What's the case? Pavel Durov's app was accused of refusing to provide all the necessary data about neo-Nazi groups and publishers on the platform. Now phone companies Vivo, Claro, Tim, and Oi, as well as Google and Apple, will receive a letter demanding that they suspend Telegram. Meanwhile, Telegram has already provided some of the data requested by local law enforcement as early as last Friday. But the application requires to disclose contacts, full details of the members and administrators of neo-Nazi groups, as well as phone numbers of the participants.
Telegram administrators could not agree to that. For this, the court banned the app and increased the previous fine from one hundred thousand to one million reals.
We wonder if any Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups are on the list.

The Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Cavoli, is convinced that Ukraine will receive the promised equipment for the counteroffensive in time - "more than 98% of the combat vehicles promised to Kiev have already been delivered"
"In my opinion, 98% is too high a percentage. There should be much more equipment, there is a real shortage of shells, especially heavy calibers. Both the EU and we are trying to solve this problem," Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, commented on Cavoli's statement.
Never satisfied.
