Some good news, almost up to 1k pieces of Russian equipment confirmed destroyed/captured (with visual evidence). Less machinery that will kill Ukrainians.
Interview with Bellingcat's chief investigator, Hristo Grozev.
Some translation required. 😅
Oh for god's sake. That's exactly the sort of kneejerk jingoistic bollocks that escalates conflict. It's the sort of kneejerk jingoistic bollocks the Russians have been guilty of and are ramping up at home, or trying to. Now we have the Slavic nazis swarming on our doorstep ready to rush in. They couldn't even swarm into Ukraine effectively and are massively bogged down, can't achieve air superiority, or supply their tanks with enough fuel. And you're talking about pointing the big red button at Russia on top? They already know the West has nuclear weapons and woulduse them if the Russians did. That's been known for 80 years for Christ's sake. And it's got eff all to do with anti war, it's to do with facing realities on all sides and stopping the wholesale slaughter of thousands, or millions if you're keen to start threatening nukes. That's what putin has done. The twat. But no, let's add petrol to the fire. Brilliant, just brilliant.
And yet another one who doesn't know what genocide means.
Wonder if my old school buddy moved home recently. 🤣
He bombed a hospital , two weeks ago they bombed a childrens cancer center killing several including a child receiving treatment,
Ukraine doesn't need propaganda Russia has repeatedly bombed hospitals , medical centers ,
It's a choice to bomb hospitals
Well done Igor, it's great to see a guy catch a break in life!
Ukraine asking for NATO and no-fly zone knowing they won't get it, is a way to push the envelope for everything else. So if they can't get a no-fly, they want xyz weapons instead. They're aiming high to get the lower prizes.
Yeah, citations please. How do they know the appartments are FSB people. Is that listed in CrimeaDaft.ie? And where's the before and after the war difference? Just because Russian mouthpieces are full of shít, doesn't mean we should take information that isn't Russian at face value either.
NATO will not get involved, no matter how much Ukraine pleads, but even if Ukraine gave a reason good enough, you can bet your bottom dollar NATO would have checked its validity from multiple angles, including in-person verification. They wouldn't be doing anything based on a Twitter video, whether the video was real or fake.
Is RT down in Ireland? I notice a lot of people in the US, Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia etc stating that it is down in those locations.
Hopefully a Javelin to the face
Awaiting further orders.
The Russians shelled a nuclear reactor. We've had two weeks of atrocities, multiple hospitals have been shelled, apartment blocks, we're not just talking about precision artillery, they are launching grad missiles at residential areas, using dumb munitions from aircraft. They have thermobaric weapons in the area and have used them. These are not all "mistakes".
Is that how you'd do it, big man?
This is only to your last line there, what is "genocide"? I've seen some "suggestions" but most of them would rule any actions taken up til now that I've ever heard of from being genocide.
Calling it "jingoistic bollocks" isn't much of an argument. The fact is this war has to be won. Won. Not dragged out. Won.
Do you support the west arming Ukraine?
If so, to what end do you support arming them?
What should be the desired end goal to be achieved as a result of arming them?
Tbf there's a pretty big reason WHY they won't just give those areas up... pretty much exactly why Russia want them
Donbass - *cough - shale gas reserves - cough*
Crimea - *cough - natural gas reserves in the Black Sea - cough*
Where will you get your fix of Sandy Hook deniers claiming to be foreign policy experts now?
Yes a big oul slap of a Javelin 💥 to the face
I mean I get the skepticism. It's hard for the human psyche to accept some of the frankly horrendous goings on, and it's hard not to think like the devils advocate. Like that sedan that was blown up by the tanks, my first thought was that it seemed a bit off, and even though there was secondary explosions there was no burning or scorching of the apparent victims. I'm not trying to argue it's a fake, but these are the things that go on in your head, especially knowing that wartime propaganda is a real thing.
Yep, but few Western battalions were recently founded by facists like the Azoz and Wagner groups and supported by their respective governments tacitly and openly. Neo Nazi groups are a problem in Russia and Ukraine. A small problem, but a problem nonetheless. Though the rise of this Z shíte in Russia shows how it's not such a small problem in Russia anymore. Their old tendencies are coming to the fore. Their blind nationalism, their fear and hatred of the outsider, their clampdown on the press and criminalisation of dissent, their autocratic leadership, even the strong whiff of a Putin Youth. Yes Ukraine has facists in her ranks. To suggest otherwise is blinkered, but it's less in play than it was, while Russia is publicly becoming a fascist state day by day.
Seems they need to agree on what to say beforehand

"Get them involved in the conflict" is a bit loaded - "Come to their defence after being attacked by a brutal and much larger aggressor" would be a better way of phrasing it. We're not talking about a conflict between two equals.
There is real risk for civilians to go out wandering like that. Earlier in thread there is a recording of a purported call between a Russian soldier and woman where a civilians came across their position in the woods. They were shot in case they would give away their position.
Foolhardy or ballsy Igor.
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
So just accept getting raped indefinitely? Dead on.
Get back to me when you actually read what I wrote.
