Nato have electronic warfare aircraft flying most nights near ukraine which could detect and jam incoming missles ,
SAMs can be messed with without having to fire a missle
As in your man who was driving the communion bread lorry in Dublin?
No one dies a glorious death, they either don't see it coming and don't even have time to sh1t themselves, or they spend their last few minutes in pain and calling for their loved ones, usually their mother if really young.
This is something that has been told to me by various relations who fought from 1916 up to the Spanish civil war and served with the UN in the Congo. One of them said that they regularly seen the young lad that they stabbed to death in Spain years afterwards as if he was standing in front of him again.
The Ukrainians will fight for their freedom because they need and have to and I hope to hell it will be worth it, because while they are, you would deny their families refuge here and spout crap about them dying with glory.
Apparently there is a 1 million rouble reward for information leading to the detention in a Russian gulag of the driver of the flower truck that sabotaged the Russian embassy today, so if anybody with the info wants to make a quick fiver give the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation a call
I'm sick of looking at Sergei Lavrov's thick head this evening.
They only joined because pearl harbour was attacked...at this rate it will take something similar before they fly in to help (at least with actual planes and soldiers in Ukraine)
Lavrov is an experienced diplomat of the highest order.
Even he should realise that he's now embarrassing himself and his once-appreciated reputation.
Looks like russia lost another 2 jets over Kiev this evening ,
Lost count over the last few days but we must be heading close to 50 Russian Aircraft lost in 13 days ,
Makes you wonder why they won't commit more than 2 aircraft at a time to an attack, meanwhile the US can field up to 100+ aircraft in attacks depending on the situation
There aren’t many good options in this war unfortunately. Civilian lives are being lost continuously. Most people are speaking in terms of escalation, not de escalation. Ukraine will not be able to withstand the Russians and currently nato will not be joining in direct conflict, a solution needs to be found somewhere.
Couldn't make it up
Who exactly is he that is getting intel briefings?
Yea you said 'if' and thats all it is.
Well said. very sad. But some of the decision making - specifically to go from being fully self-sufficient with regards to energy, and within 12 months having to go cap in hand to Iran and Venezuela begging for oil. It's an absolute disaster and leaves America hamstrung and still paying bloody Putin for oil. It's a fallen state. You're right, it's breaking up from the inside.
Now, you would probably get more likes in the US on TikToc if Kylie Jenner’s dog died versus the war in Ukraine. People don’t care. They just want to be there in their little bubble, amidst their privilege.
But sometimes, we are faced with evil. We have to counter it, whatever the cost.
Yet, the government knows that there is a general apathy of the electorate towards foreign affairs. Why tackle it if it won’t bring votes?
We're living in a world of selfish pricks. Quite happy to watch children slaughtered whilst hiding behind empty threats of nukes and complaining about the cost of living. Same ones will bitch about the refugees when they arrive too. It's no wonder Putin decided to do what he's done.
I thought this was fascinating look at military spending. It’s no wonder nobody attacks USA.
I wonder will this ruse by Putin force Europe and Uk to start jumping up those charts.
Im still unsure why Putin might be afraid of usa and not France/uk from a nuclear POV, is it the types of nukes are different?
Fiona Hill saying that we are "already in World War 3" is quite pertinent, something picked up by Alex Crawford.
Not sure how Crawford visits the most dangerous spots in the world with such regularity, but it's to be admired.
I appreciate this is a horrible war and that tensions as well as fears and concerns run high. Can posters try and remain civil rather than engage in aggressive posting towards other users
I mean not like Blair or Bush ever went there. Russia, US and China aren't signed up to it either so it won't happen.
Has Russia already lost the war? Intense fighting is going on in many parts of Ukraine of course, but their progress seems to have slowed considerably in recent days with few major breakthroughs.
Because collective good = communism = russia = bad
Therefore let Russia take over Ukraine so gas prices settle down.
America is in a very poor mental state.
No, he wont go beyond Ukraine. It has been a wake up call for him and his generals.
Believe it or not, I can see a general ceasefire by end of week. I think Putin will call a halt when he takes Kyiv and possibly Odessa. He will be looking for an easy exit from that point - obviously he will negotiate hard around certain demands but it has already been a disaster for Russia.
I asked you if you were willing to have your loved ones die in a nuclear holocaust over Ukraine, not fight to a glorious death like in some movie you may have watched. You said you were. (That means your daughter having her eyeballs melt and roll down her cheeks, by the way, before she ignites and is carbonized. Not that you seem to care about the deaths of children globally, which would be the result of your would-be honor-inspired machismo. But what does that matter? Thermonuclear death is so righteous and glorious!)
At the time of writing 15 posters have endorsed your view that a nuclear war against Putin’s Russia and the permanent destruction of the future would be a noble path to take. In short, you and those other fools have taken leave of your senses.
Chest thumping apes are dominating the narrative here. I think you and the other brave warriors who liked your rabid post should personally hop on a plane to Poland, cross the border, pick up a gun, and trudge off through the mud and snow to do glorious battle with Ivan, along with the other conscripts who’d never held a gun before two weeks ago, before we reach for the nukes. Put your money where your mouth is.
Just to keep us all grounded and a bit more pessimistic in the face of undoubted Ukrainian military success.
I don’t know how the US would react to WWII if it happened now… Would they still fly in to help us…..
A no fly zone is not possible without taking out ground to air defences. It's why Russia cannot fly with supremacy over Ukraine. There are many devices dotted around Ukraine, thanks to NATO.
YOU CANNOT ENFORCE A NO FLY ZONE WITHOUT AIR SUPREMACY.
YOU CANNOT HAVE AIR SUPREMACY WITH SAM SITES ACROSS THE BORDER IN RUSSIA.
NATO will not attack Russia (for obvious reasons, although some preppers would love it).
There is no need for a no fly zone, Russian Air Force jets/attack helicopters are getting knocked out of the sky.
The problem is Russian artillery.
Unfortunately now the appetite is America first. There is too much internal strife to unify the Americans collectively. They are most keen to use their money to keep down the price of inflation than to save some faraway people. There is no sense of collective good anymore. It is cult of the individual. Being incredibly selfish is lauded. And closer to home, I saw some guy saying that the Ukraine war should stop because it will drive up the price of his petrol. That is their mentality
Don't be so sure.
To quote the words of Martin Luther King:
"I Have a Dream"....
I am serious, and don't call me tell me
