😂
Has this 'Colonel' ever heard of Opsec? You said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud Luka!
The American government put out an instructional on what to do in case of a nuke strike. They actually said to socially distance in the bunkers. No joke 😂
"We have to expand, otherwise they'll expand."
Do you not remember Covid? 😁
The hit on the TV tower resulted in a family being burned alive. I've seen the vid. Vile.
I agree with you, thats pretty much what theyre doing. "Don't get involved or the nukes will fly and we all lose" - I dont condone it, but you have to recognise it, and also recognise that it works both ways - NATO may not intervene officially, but Russia also will not attack NATO or EU either.
Ironically Nuclear weapons are the only thing preventing WW3 here
Interesting..
Update from BBC on the military situation... and that convoy:
Close analysis of the latest satellite images by McKenzie Intelligence Services reveals the following:
Separately, the imagery examined by McKenzie Intelligence Services shows a Russian parachute battalion dug in to the area of Hostomel airfield - Ukraine's most important international cargo airport and a key military airbase near Kyiv. But their artillery is assessed to be outside the range of most of the capital.
Shoigu the defence minister is a good bet. Best buddies with Vlad, a hero in Russia. Gives the appearance of an actual leader, unlike other lickspittles like Peskov.
Its not unreasonable to guess that from his initial actions, why not go in heavy first and overpower unless you reckon there wont be much resistance?. I've read from others more versed in all this than me that the generals thought that like in 2014, Ukranian defenses would be weak/effectively non existent.
Thats why they only sent in small forces. They are trying to revisit that now with their huge convoy to Kyiv however according to the BBC that seems to have stalled (for now) due to them running out of fuel and food, certainly doesn't seem like they originally planned having to use massive force and the convey is a hastily put together plan. No doubt the generals are under massive pressure to get this done from Moscow.
Thanks for posting, it's interesting to get a genuinely alternative view of all this from a Russian.
Are you going to play this act all thread?
Cant say the morale is on top either
Most of these young soldiers doesnt even want to be in Ukraine
Centrica in UK (Bord Gais owner) has ended its gas supply agreement with Gazprom.
Jaguar Land Rover also pausing exports.
"Russia will not invade any EU or Nato member because of nuclear deterrence"
I know you're having a go at another poster there but you know that's absolutely brilliant for Russia, as it leaves them do what they likes without any possible interference in the Ukraine - a non nato and a non EU country.
But maybe you could explain if Russia is being so mindful of nuclear deterence - wtf are they escalating their Nuclear threat level over economic sanctions and what they have referred to as "aggressive statements" or is as previous that you simply are unable to understand the Russians using nuclear brinkmanship to do exactly what they like?
Looks like they have changed their mind on this. Personally I thought it was a strange idea.
The peacekeeping force is busy in Kharkiv
That guy trying to get himself killed? Jesus!
Completely believable to me. It's not hard to imagine Putin thinking an ex-comedian and actor would be sitting crying on Oprah's couch right now instead of making EU leaders take an unprecedented stand against Russia. I think many of the EU leaders felt the same for the first day or so, no point jumping into a conflict if the Ukrainian leadership had already jumped overboard. It was only after it became clear they were standing their ground and putting up a credible defence that they were shamed into action.
That's the idea. We can look forward to monologue recaps of what is happening in the thread, like the great reset thread.
There is no belief that it is going to happen any time soon but it is a more likely scenario for him that he will be ousted or retired when sanctions begin to bite. There is absolutely no positive outcome for hm from this. He is friendless, apart from the dopey "Colonel" next door and Putin is entirely to blame for where we have ended up.
I thought all Russian vehicles were marked? (V, Z, O)
Is that not Ukrainian?
Thats from 2 days ago, today there were announcements about no planes being sent from certain member states? Anyone know what the real story is here?
I look at this lot and I think....are they sending their best? look like a ramshackle bunch.
Good man.
Thanks for putting me straight
If Putin was to fall/die ,who would be his successor?
nonsense, Moldova has fought against russian imperialism for years in Transdnistra and would fight tooth an nail before handing over the whole country to the Russian empire
In a surprise to no one the Putinbots are creeping back into the thread with their false equivalence and whataboutery
When are all the Mig's getting delivered ?
A Russian parks his army truck. A metaphor for Russia's war effort thus far.
right, the only naziesque behaviour is from Russia….Hitler invaded all around him under false pretences, now Putin is up to the same…
"Oh, shut up, you soppy old git."
