I've seen word of Moldova making moves to re-take Transnistria. Will Georgia be next to move on Russian seized areas?

People in Transnistria refuse to sign contracts with Russian army Ukrainian Intelligence

ALONA MAZURENKO - THURSDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2022, 21:44 The residents of Transnistria [a self-proclaimed breakaway state that is internationally recognised as part of Moldova] refuse to sign contracts with the Russian army, and there is mass desertion in the "operational group of [Russian] troops"...

The rapid success of the Ukrainian offensive, the way their fronts are oriented complete with the bypassing and isolating pockets of Russians, looks to be something out of either Patton's or Rommel's book.

I think they're imposing a knight's-fork upon the Russians. If the Ukrainians have reserves, and they likely do for a large pair of offensives, given their interior lines they may be able to switch their smaller forces between fronts, a la General von François at Tannenberg -- albeit on a larger geographical scale.

I think the Ukrainians recapturing Kherson is critical. If that happens, the Russians will have to choose who is their favorite child, the Eastern or Southern front.

ISW is reporting Russian military bloggers are voicing concern that the two main supply lines going south to Izyum and Kupiyansk are being threatened by the Ukranian advance.

If these are cut, the whole of the Russian front line west and south of Kupiyansk becomes vulnerable. Ukraine could pivot southwards and roll up 50 or 60 km worth of territory in relatively short order. Basically retake everything to the west of the Oskil river.

That then gives them a solid natural obstacle on their flank, to allow for drives further east-southeast towards Rubizhen/Severodonetsk/Lysychansk.

Alternatively, there's speculation they could get REALLY ambitious and head further east into Luhask Oblast and attempt to cut some more supply lines heading south and west out of Russia. That's an advance of a further 80-100km though.

I remember the skies being full of Air Force planes flying really low and fast over the skies Sheepshead Bay during The Missile Crisis. They were probably Navy but I was seven. Air raid sirens and duck and cover drills were the best parts of school. Good times!

Floyd Bennet Field was a Naval Air Station back then.

"Deputies in St. Petersburg suggest State Duma charge Putin with high treason"

Do those deputies plan to go outside Rusia any time soon or they are out already ?

While the reason behind the charge has merit, the charge is obviously going nowhere

Interesting article "Breton Woods - new version", about Putin/China collaboration dethroning the Dollar. Also note global push to straighten out Bank Ballance sheets from paper gold. There are far more 'gold markers' than physical gold across the globe.

These BBC maps are inaccurately showing arrows indicating Russian advances. There have been no significant Russian advances in weeks. Meanwhile, except for two inaccurate/obsolete purple arrows BEHIND Kharkiv, the map doesn't have arrows indicating Ukrainian advances.

I know...I actually wrote to the BBC to complain about the maps. The definitions in the key are misleading and they're often out of date. For example, the article is about events in the past week and yet the map is dated 29 August. Pretty shoddy, frankly. I'm not expecting a reply from the Beeb...they're rather preoccupied by the Queen's passing.

Apparently this has been debunked. He's not the general. Some Colonel apparently.
