Theres a vast amount of evidence showing that the troops on the ground and indeed their immediate command were lied to on where they were going or why they were going there. There seems to be a revisionist narrative going around that they were specifically told to lay off civilians and target very specific things. When in fact they were told that zelenski had laid down his tools and they were to drive to the nearest cities where they would be greeted with arms open. Perhaps the military leadership knew it would be a hard sell to get them to go in the first place.
I'm regards leaving the comms and power. It's been shown from all of the captured equipment that the Russians are using off the shelf retail radios and phone GPS maps to find their way around and navigate and communicate. For this reason theyve had to leave infrastructure in place otherwise they'd be even more shagged. They Dont have even basic military comms and guidance.
Theres a rewriting of reality going on and people seem to be willing or happy to swallow the decent guys lie....
I read a military analysis saying the Russian Army are very shy about advancing into a city after the Battle of Grozny in the First Chechen War in the '90s.
Basically the Russian military lost a big part of an entire brigade which had quickly entered Grozny, moved into the city centre only to be surrounded and cut off, with terrible communications, no reconnaissance capabilities and then were massacred by Chechen missiles fired from strategic high locations. Morale collapsed and they were lots of desertions and Russian commanders were disciplined afterwards.
That left a very painful memory in the Russian collective memory and there's a sort of understanding not to make the mistakes made by the generals during that first Chechen war.
So that might have something to do with the Russian forces sitting outside of Kiev and Kharkiv and not charging right in, shelling these cities from the outside and waiting for huge reinforcements. Its possible they're hoping to somehow take these cities without entering them first.
No unbias links to any evidence to support those claims im guessing?
Some of the images coming out of Kharkiv of buildings completely destroyed are really bad. Up there with the worst of Russia war adventures of the last 20 years.
Same might happen Kiev tonight.
A brave man to speak his mind then from the centre of soon to be obliterated Kyiv, no ?
This idea, spread by the Kremlin, that there was some sort of 'genocide' going on in Donbass is absolute horseshit. And you calling it 'discrimination' like discrimination is an excuse to invade a country, seems utterly ridiculous. Yes, in war time (especially a war to capture your country) governments do force people to sign up to defend the country. Zelensky has done nothing wrong in requiring men of fighting age to fight for their country.
"I'm not fan of Putin but"
And the mask slips.

True, though both could have been in play without any revisionism. Lay off civillians because you won't have to engage them as they want to see you and it'll be all over bar the shouting by the time you roll into Kyiv with your tanks and men after special forces have taken the airports and marched on Kyiv and removed the leadership.
I don't know what ****** of the internet you're getting your information from but this is conspiracy theory nonsense.
Ukraine is fulfilling the Minsk agreement, unless you also accept entirely Russia's interpretation of it.
There's no US bioweapons labs in the Ukraine.

I hope the shopping centre is closed.
He seems like a real as*hole but he makes a reasonable point about how the Americans would have destroyed all infrastructure and killed hundreds of thousands of people.
All that proves is that Russians are better than Americans which is a very very low bar.
Not if he believes the BS he's spouting. Did you not watch it yourself? Russia, when it meets resistance pulls back and wont attack Kyiv. He's safe out from his Russian buddies. They got his back! *deploy sarcasm detector*
There is an awful whiff of reregs coming into this forum all of a sudden.
Cut the BS.
Huge amount of bombs hitting Kharkiv on the live stream now
Yeah Putin's lapdog, the stuff he comes out with is incredible.
Linky?
Paul Mason saying we are at the indiscriminate bombing phase
You could not make this level of irony up...
