Re: War in Ukraine...

“Someone [sold out] our location”? I think we can deduce what the translation is - someone gave away their location. With the implication they were paid for the information. In some places that would be a smear, but its probably business as usual in Russia. Could also have been a pro-Ukrainian loca...

Re: War in Ukraine...

Hawk97 linked something from this chap in the Gaza thread. He seems reasonably objective in his assessments. He is reporting a second crossing of the Dneipr upriver from Kherson, looks like the UAF are intending to develop their bridgehead.

It's my understanding that most historians doubt the veracity of Mosby's account especially given he was contradicted by several other people present. Wires crossed, I think. Mosby was in the mid-west? IIRC the source of the Pickett quote was Mosby at an event after the war at which he, Pickett, an...
