Dude Der Spiegel is not a rumour mill. It is Germany's most decorated independent media which won even a Nobel price. It investigates everybody from gangs, corrupt politicians, US military, US intelligence, NATO, German military, you name it.

Der Spiegel will not post an article if it has no reasonable justification on the accuracy of its facts. They have a team of researchers to fact check report.
Doesn't implies this time reports will be accurate.

What :lol: Russians seem to have lost their edge. A very amateur mistake (of course I am no one to speak), but still, everyone predicted this will happen once the snow melts.
Is russia really planning a attack? Definitely not a western Propaganda as always.

So you think Russia is just parking all its military equipments around Ukraine? What if Russia does not get what it wants from the US, and Ukraine already rejected Minsk II, so all these equipments and soldiers will just be ordered back to their bases?

What if it's exactly opposite?

Well, according to NATO intelligence Russia has prepared for an attack. Whether it will actually attack, only Kremlin knows.

This is pretty much the last warning from America to its citizens to evacuate.

"German news magazine Der Spiegel has sacked an award-winning staff writer after accusing him of inventing details and quotes in numerous stories.
Claas Relotius "falsified articles on a grand scale and even invented characters", Der Spiegel said.
Among the articles in question are major features that had been nominated for or won awards, the magazine added."

You are true as always 😁
It's about "will not publish without having the facts" and about "awards"))

Germany is such an independent country that the US dictates to them what economic projects it can or cannot implement. And the Nobel Prize is so unbiased that it gives the Peace Prize to Obama, who started several wars.

Der Spiegel is a private media company that is not beholden to the German government unlike Russian media companies that are essentially extensions of the Russian state.

Here's a sample of Der Spiegel reports:

Bad egg. He was swiftly kicked out once his shinanigans were discovered and Der Spiegel apologized for his wrongful reports.

So what about "will not publish without having the facts"?
So did they publish fictional stories with fictional characters?

The fact is there are already too many smokes about Putin and Graceful... there's definitely fire!

But you Comrade is clearly in denial of reality. Denial is a defense mechanism, do you know that? :creepy:

It is still winter, and the ground is hard in most places.. so russians still have a window, of a few weeks, till spring arrives.. Then, the next window will be in the Summer .. June July.. when all the legendary tank battles like Kursk.. happened..

Note: Russia, has 100 Tactical battalion groups around Ukraine, so many more than what Russia needs to defend from a "Ukrainian attack" on Donbass.. So, Russian alibi is false.

But, it is apparent, that, the west has called Russian bluff, and Minsk II is apparently in the dustbin.. So, no low cost option ( military buildup.. and Showman ship) left for Putin, now.. Russia, can stay at the Ukraine border perpetually.. but the shock value, and power to extract concessions, by stationing an Army on the border, will drop to Zero.
Next time no one will watch those tik tok videos of Russian military movement, which serves Russia's purpose, of inducing awe among Russia's adversaries..

I hope the US supply more EW equipments.
As I understand it, now there are mass deliveries of what can be quickly mastered, or has already been mastered. In one photograph, boxes with equipped machine-gun belts 7.62 NATO and 12.7x99 were seen. We only use these calibers for sniping.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17547...inian-sniper-shoots-russian-separatists-dead/
Machine-gun belts mean that there were deliveries of machine guns too.
I know that there was a fresh supply of counter-battery radars.
40-mm M430 HEDP - the tank will not penetrate, but it will easily cope with the IFV / APC.
In 2014 it was hard, now it's easier.

So you have accepted partition of Ukraine is best outcome?
Of course not. This map shows the uncontrolled parts of the Donbass.
