I don’t agree about the “brain cell “ reference- we know millions of Russians hang on the every word of their government and believe it -it’s sad, it’s not a reflection on them, but it’s fact
Just a question for the military minded out there.
How long does it take Russia to build new tanks planes and weapons?
Are they all built in Russia with russian parts?
The ability for Russia to replace lost vehicles and weapons might have a say on how long they go on for if this drags on/ new invasions are started.
I had Shogyu down as most likely to turn on Pootz earlier on in the thread. Just sayin'
I remember, many years ago, Battle and other comics with stories of WW2 and loving the idea of going to war. I also remember a few years later searching the Internet for the video of the beheading of an American journalist. I watched it, a few times, didn't bother me, I was a tough guy. Then when I got up I had to lie down on the floor for a few minutes. I can still remember the sounds of that video. When I see that journalists photograph I still get a bit emotional.
So which is better to show our kids? The sanitised version or the reality that will make them sick?
I don’t know so wait on an informed reply- but if what they’ve sent is anything to go with, and it contains tyres or something that needs regular servicing, previous recent experience is positive on that front, for anyone interested in Ukraine being victorious in this war
The sanctions will mean it next to impossible for them to build all but the most basic weapons. Even most of their steel comes from Germany. There's thousands of parts in most serious weapons and they come from everywhere including here.
Those two eejits may as well join some European far right or extreme right party, as they are giving us the exact same pro-Putin propaganda.
From what he is posting about fuel consumption, I'd say he has never had a car, and therefore no experience in things mechanical. But that would not be reason to put all his other posts in the same category..,
I remember this!
Thanks @jmreire You’re right. I don’t have a car. I have saved for several years for a deposit while renting… That is absolutely irrelevant to any point that I made about Ukraine. Yet, the poster that you are responding to is too stupid to make the difference
It is like when people start attacking somebody’s grammar and discredit all their valid points on that basis alone. Heuristics for the lazy mind 🥱
This town is slightly bigger than where I live. Completely levelled. 90% of buildings destroyed. dead bodies left in the street. can you imagine it? horrific.
OMG- a double agent- SHOOT HIM!!!!!
😛
No. I can’t imagine.
I fear for what a “Ukraine” will be left after all of this. Especially if any natural resources will be corralled by the occupying parties.
@Yurt2 has been bang on about his predictions and assessments. A few weeks ago, he was getting awful abuse on this thread. People were saying that a Ukrainian invasion would never happen and that it was all NATO’s fault. They were justifying all of Russia’s actions and predicaments.
The Russian army seems to be struggling to take over a country with a relatively small population that they expected to be able to roll straight across. All they would seem capable of doing towards the West would be a nuke.
'The weather is good this time of year in Volgograd. But i hear it may rain in Krasnoyarsk'
“Relatively small population” ?
It’s not fcking Leitrim
the new swastika
Who is Pootz? And why would Shogyu be turning him on?
Is Shogyu sending him pictures of his lad? Surely he'd have other things on his mind at this time
Relative to the West. To the rest of Europe. And to Russia itself.
It makes me sick that this was allowed to happen. And the defiant expression on the athletes face. They might has well have daubed a Z with the blood of the slain Ukrainian children on the athletic wear
Pootz is non binary, equal opportunities. Pootz would fcuk anything that moves.
Are you not grey squirrel?
Can you imagine how putins current and former mates, the oligarchs/ mafioso guys who are staring at losing billions are feeling. These guys are pretty unforgiving when that happens and putin is well aware of that. I don't know if putin prays but right now the only thing he can pray for is not that he gets to live but that the end will be swift.
I'll applaud if it happens. It seems like nonsense when it is being put up on twitter though. At best it is some attempt at sowing mistrusts.
we are living through strange times, these Russians have a serious grudge and have the bit between their teeth, they feel disgruntled and want the world to feel their pain, they feel owed more than they have earned
Plenty of those posters are still here, they are "smart" enough not be seen to directly support Putin. They certainly haven't gone anywhere.
We do, you just don't like the thought.
There are over 61,000 holiday homes and 169,000 vacant dwellings as of the 2016 census. I just sold a property into which you could easily put 16 people for the cost of a few bunks and some labour.
I see another Russian general or some such out saying that the West supplying arms etc will be seeing as an act of aggression against Russia and basically threatening any country that helps Ukraine. When are the west going to stand up to these guys ? When are "we" going to show some teeth to this lot and show that we too can draw some red lines - surely stating that the West is willing to engage anyone shelling civilians fleeing a war zone ( particularly in a ceasefire ) and are willing to eradicate that threat is a good red line. Does the west not need to show it too has some things they simply wont accept ( outside of the protecting every inch of NATO nonsense )
i'd like to see how proud and smug the lad is if he's put in a russian tank hundreds of miles from home with no food and his tank just ran out of fuel.
