This Day In History--The First Color Revolution!
With Addendum
That’s right, on November 11 the people we’ve come to know as the usual suspects in these matters celebrate … the Bolshevik Revolution that overthrew the liberal government of Russia—Red October! We celebrate in the usual manner, with a faked photo:
The next color revolution? I suggest the Grey Revolution—an even, blah color, indicative of the true goal of Wokism, a state of stasis:
But moving on to Fallujah, er, Kherson, Geroman has a smart twitter thread:
RF sources on the ground reported:
"We are out - the two bridges were blown up by us after all our troops crossed it."
(0505h)
The speed of that operation tells me it was all planed long before the announcement...
And after we did not see any fight - it is now also clear it was a sort of an agreement on a technical level between RF and AFU as well. (besides secret talks with their masters in DC).
RF withdrew its forces from the right bank of the Dnieper River. During the maneuver, the group of troops, using pontoon bridges, completed the crossing of units and civilians to the left bank.
In just a few days, about 40,000 Russian servicemen left the right bank.
I think it is more near 20k by the way...
Another source:
RF army withdrew forces from the right bank of the Dnieper River
During the maneuver, RF grouping of troops, using pontoon bridges, completed the crossing of units and civilians to the left bank, more than 20,000 Russian servicemen left the right bank. So not 40k.
My suspicion is that the biggest factor here was the danger that the US would manage to blow the massive Kakhovka Dam. The resulting flood would look like this, killing and destroying everything in its path, and isolating Russian troops on the west bank:
And then there’s this creative suggestion:
Addendum from Moon of Alabama. The title of the post, Si tacuisses, means, If you had just kept your mouth shut (no one would have known how stupid you are):
Russian retreat from Kherson city sets stage for more hard combat
Washington Post - Nov 10, 2022
U.S. Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday night that 20,000 to 30,000 Russian forces remained on the western bank of the river and that it would take time for them to withdraw. But he, too, saw “initial indicators” that the retreat was underway, he said.
“This won’t take them a day or two,” Milley said, speaking at an event at the Economic Club of New York. “This is going to take them days and maybe even weeks to pull those forces south of that river.”

Milley is a clown. Any competent people could easily withdraw 20-30K troops and equipment in less than a day, so this tells me Milley is an incompetent person who can't imagine such a thing- sort of like the people running the vote counting operations out west.
Considering Milley's conduct during the Trump administration, specifically his interaction with China re. warning them of attack, he should be up on charges of treason at the least. Hanging or firing squad should be his only options.
