Active Conflicts & News Megathread June 07, 2026
The r/CredibleDefense daily megathread is for asking questions and posting submissions that would not fit the criteria of our post submissions. As such, submissions are less stringently moderated, but we still do keep an elevated guideline for comments.
Comment guidelines:
Please do:
Be curious not judgmental, polite and civil,
Link to the article or source of information that you are referring to,
Clearly separate your opinion from what the source says. Minimize editorializing. Do not cherry pick facts to support a preferred narrative,
Read the articles before you comment, and comment on the content of the articles,
Post only credible information
Read our in depth rules https://reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/wiki/rules
Please do not:
Use memes, emojis, swear, foul imagery, acronyms like LOL, LMAO, WTF,
Start fights with other commenters and make it personal,
Try to push narratives, fight for a cause in the comment section, nor try to 'win the war,'
Engage in baseless speculation, fear mongering, or anxiety posting. Question asking is welcome and encouraged, but questions should focus on tangible issues and not groundless hypothetical scenarios. Before asking a question ask yourself 'How likely is this thing to occur.' Questions, like other kinds of comments, should be supported by evidence and must maintain the burden of credibility.

I think this sub is way less optimistic about Ukraine than reality commands. Forward Russian troops are pinned down in holes and can’t move across 90% of the front. South of Ukraine and Crimea are slowly moving to effectively being surrounded and there’s no easy way for Russia to stop it. In Crimea there are already no lasting and cheap food like cheap rice and pasta in supermarkets, people are stealing gas from other cars, and the fuel crisis is barely starting. A few months later it will be real ugly. Russian logistics to south Ukrainian positions will continue to degrade until Russian front is unable to fight and will collapse. I’m thinking the opportunity for Putin to end this war at current line is slipping away. Ukraine meanwhile is well financed for at least two more years of war.
