NATO head warns Russia may seize key fortress city ‘in the coming days’

But I keep reading Russia has lost.

JTN: NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday warned that Russia was on the brink of capturing the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, a key position that may open the way for Muscovite forces to seize more strategic positions in the region.

“[O]ver the last weeks and months, we have seen fierce fighting in and around Bakhmut, and what we see is that Russia is storming in more troops, more forces and what Russia lacks in quality, they try to make up in quantity,” he said, according to The Hill.

“They have suffered big losses, but at the same time, we cannot rule out that Bakhmut may eventually fall in the coming days,” he continued.

Stoltenberg suggested that such a conquest would not necessarily signal a shift in momentum toward Russia, though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN in an interview set to air Wednesday evening that the fall of Bakhmut would leave an “open road” for Russia to capture key Donbass cities such as Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.

  1. Both countries full of hackers who raid Grandma’s Bank account by Computer.
    NO SHITS TO GIVE.

    esp. since they strayed so faraway from Reagan & Gorbachev. NATO more so.

  2. “Russia is storming in more troops, more forces and what Russia lacks in quality, they try to make up in quantity,”

    …and anyone who didn’t see this coming knows absolutely NOTHING about Russian history or how Russians fight.

  3. Check out Simplicus on Substack for outstanding analysis of the ‘war’. I don’t know what the guy’s bona fide’s are but he seems to have a good handle on things.

  4. Make that a big nyet!
    The only history dumbass thieving politicians like biden know is their own. And they just make it up. Ask Bubba Clinton where he was born, he even lies about that.

  5. After the longest war waged by the US in its history (Afghanistan) in which it accomplished much less than nothing (except enriching MIC criminals and richly arming the Taliban), today’s Brass decided they’d have an adventure in Russia. While threatening China simultaneously.
    That Milley has more brains than eyebrows!

  6. Despite most all of today’s world leaders shamelessly sounding like braying idiot donkeys, it’s refreshing to listen when Lavrov, an intelligent, responsible adult speaks to the world.

  7. Hunh. I was told by our SecDef, Affirmative Action Austin, that a Russian victory in Bakhmut (soon to be renamed Artemyovsk) would only be symbolic. And all the journos are in lockstep, calling it a “pyrrhic” victory and then explaining to their audience of dolts what that means. A couple more symbolic, pyrrhic Russian victories like this, and Zelensky might have to eat a bullet in a bunker. Here’s hoping.

  8. I saw that video that Jason linked to. Colonel MacGregor sure knows what he’s talking about and even said that this would happen, even though it is from at least a week ago.

    Worth 15 minutes.

  9. And in other breaking news, the Germans have figured out who bombed NordStream! From Moon of Alabama:

    “.. investigators have managed to identify the boat that was presumably used for the secret operation. It is said to be a yacht rented from a company based in Poland, apparently owned by two Ukrainians. The clandestine operation at sea is said to have been carried out by a team of six people, according to the investigation. It is said to have involved five men and one woman. According to the report, the group consisted of a captain, two divers, two diving assistants and a female doctor, who are said to have transported the explosives to the crime scenes and placed them there.”

    The hits just keep coming. Let me guess: It was Captain & Tennille, Hall & Oates, and Peaches & Herb whodunnit. With Cristopher Cross at the helm. (That’s a Yacht Rock reference, in case you missed it)

    Sailing, takes me away, to where I want to be…

  10. We’re a whole lot closer to the truth when you realize most everything the lamestream media and the government tells you is a lie or if we are lucky a half truth.

  11. Hold tight, the economic sanctions are working!
    Dirty dishes piled to the sky because Russians necessarily scavenged microchips from their dishwashers to support their war effort. The Russian economy is in “tatters”!

    (the above are all huge whoppers the leaders of the EU and NATO clearly preached for months)

  12. I battle dumbshits on these anti Russia hate sites on Quora every day (under my actual name)

    What these dumbshits believe …

    Russia is using human wave tactics .. Is that before or after the daily barrage of 30,000 shells?

    Russia is fighting with shovels … What, did they focus so much on the unprecedented artillery barrage, they forget about bullets for the troops?
