Shocking open contempt for the state they're residing in. Out, out, out.
Russian cretins with the Z sign on the M50.
This is the new Nazi symbol. Make it illegal in Ireland.
These Russian guys are guests in this country. They need to show some respect.
Deport them I say.
Would Will Smith please come forward, you are needed at the podium.
BBC picked it up too. Stating a Facebook post as the source but also that the page may have been hacked. I'm not optimistic it was but hopefully it is fake. They deserve to die on their swords. they must know at this stage that surrendering probably condemns them to a worse fate.
Lavrov “Our special military operation is designed to put an end to the reckless expansion of the US's aim for complete domination... in the international arena," - so we need to rape children and commit mass murder against citizens to stop America. Right.
The number of Russian battalion tactical groups (700-1k soldiers each) rendered combat ineffective in the Ukraine war so far has been reassessed at 37-38 according to a western official, leaving 90 operational. That suggests heavier losses than previously thought
That is almost 30% of the Russian invasion force rendered combat ineffective.
That one is definitely for domestic consumption. "The war (special operation) has nothing to do with us and is even regrettable. It was forced on us by the evil West, especially the US.....we had no choice but to defend ourselves".
Wow...classy..
It's ugly but the West need to talk to Putin. Mariupol is gone, the east of the country is about to go, if the West refuses to get involved militarily it needs to help negotiate some kind of peace settlement to stop yet more people dying. Even the Ukrainians are willing to negotiate
The Tricolor being worn proudly
Italy, France and Germany I would say were the main pushers of no further action. Absolute shameful EU.
Dirty money for Russia cause.
Between this fella, the gymnast and other tidbits it's become abundantly clear there has been a conditioning of Russian youth. Some of the things are insane from a demographic you would have thought has the capacity to see the wood from the trees and cut through the BS. There is no hope of getting rid of Putin. Some of the Russian elders actually seem more reasonable.
Wow
My take on it is that a lot of them are right wing Russian nationalists who look down with contempt on all their neighbours in the East. Putin knows his audience and how they think (why these nationalists would choose to live in the West though is anyone's guess, seeing as they are so in love with the idea of dictatorship and Russia being the 'master race').
LOL... He has no future in Karting either. Just announced.
The little prick wont be laughing when he realize his future in motor racing is effectively over. No F3 team will not want a Nazi in there car.
I'm something of a simpleton and it seems that simple analysis, on this occasion, can be applied in an Occam's Razor type of way.
Now that the Baltic States, Australia and New Zealand are rolling their sleeves up, the big EU Countries may be shamed into doing more.
Also, the above makes it easier for anyone to help, what's Putin going to do? declare war on everyone?
Maybe they could tow the MiGs across the border, as the Canadians did in WW2. Apparently the MiG-29 needs only 240 m to take off, and can do so from unpaved surfaces.
The apartment block bombings were used to usher Putin into power, and Boris Yeltsin made the introductions....standing beside his protégé Vladimir Putin as they both toured the destroyed buildings with full TV coverage, and Boris saying that Putin was the best man to solve "This Problem". And thus began the Reign of Vladimir Putin.
The Nazi’s ever changing story: Lavrov “Our special military operation is designed to put an end to the reckless expansion of the US's aim for complete domination... in the international arena,"
Yeah I'm sure a 15 year old Russian whose family had the nous and ability to get him racing under the Italian flag wouldn't know what it is. Little prick.
He claimed he hadn't a clue what he was doing, someone on his team put him up to it.
That's so ridiculous it could be true.
That Tweet appears to be a fake and may be part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
This impossible to source fuel is kerosene. I've a few hundred litres in a big tank out the back, and I'm sure they might find some in Ukraine.
"The tank is powered by Avco Lycoming (now Honeywell) AGT1500 gas turbine engine, developing 1 500 horsepower. Essentially it is a modified helicopter engine, adapted for use on tanks. It is a multi-fuel engine, which can run on any grade of petrol, diesel, aviation fuel or kerosene."
Ukraiane built the Antanov 255, which was the worlds largest plane until the Orcs destroyed it because it made Ukrainians look too good. They produce their own, extremely effective anti-tank missile, they made the dead-hand doomsday nuke launcher the Russians have as a last dith MAD device. They made the Neptune anti ship cruise missile. I'm sure the Abrams is a complex system, but the Ukrainians seem like they can design and manufacture complex stuff, so I think they can keep a tank running.
There has for days been talk of baltic countries supplying more modern US and western gear and providing training, the latest being remotely so they don't even need to travel.
Can be a Guarda staffing problem too.
Even the baby orcs are at it. The little turd racing under the Italian flag as well. Would be nice to see them have the balls to not licence the twerp going forward.
If you read Putin's People by Catherine Belton, it gives a good rundown on how the Russian Orthodox Church allowed itself to be completly corrupted by pro-Putin oligarch money. Allowing church foundations to act as Trojan horses for the dissemination of Kremlin nationalism and right wing values.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church splitting from Moscow drove the Kremlin nuts for this reason. Ukraine had the chance to stop the rot and to cease allowing Orthodox Christianity being disgustingly coopted for political ends.
Pity cant airdrop them supplies or force a line open for them.
But if the Russians do take the city, wonder if they hold it and for how long.
Looks like the siege of Mariupol is coming to an end, only because the defenders are running out of ammo.
May not be accurate.
