    Weapons, weapons, weapons!

    I hope to God that enough of the promised "better" weaponry has got through to the east of the country. It's the one thing that will make the difference as Ukraine has the numbers to take the fight to Russia, but without the hardware to back them up then.....

    Either way there's going to be a lot of deaths tonight, but even if the Ukranian defenders are shelled into oblivion there will still be hundreds, it not thousands of pockets of resistance everywhere. They know their land and all are willing to die for their country, so a hell of a lot more Russians are going to breathe their last breath over the next few days/weeks.

    What a needless war though. So many lives lost. So many more to follow. And all because of one mans evil desire.

    You can comment about her behaviour. You can comment about her policies. You can comment about her actions. However some of the comments about Clare Daly have completely crossed the line. That stops now if you wish to continue contributing to these discussions.

    The problem here what the Ukrainian military and zelenskyy have is this is more then likely the area that Russia might end up with if they loose land after this is all over. So do they pour the majority of their military in their to stop Russia in their tracks as if Russia takes the donbass region more then likely Ukraine will loose this area more then likely forever when peace talks do happen or do Ukraine gamble and pour the majority of their military into there and try and stop the Russian tide and try and kick them fully out of the region. If they can do that I cannot see Russia been able to continue properly in this conflict. I say putin might claim a victory and stop his advances afterwards and say he will pull out of other parts of Ukraine once Ukraine cede the donbass region or if not he will rain more death and destruction and continue the war. Ukraine right here if they can win this battle and soundly defeat the Russians probably have won the war otherwise this is where Russia gains big if they can win in the donbass region.

    I only hope Russia doesn't make gains here. US and the UK have been doing great stuff with providing weapons. Germany and France have been a disgrace. Just wait for it both of these countries will want to trade with Russia again when this brutal war ends. Shameful.

    Russia's 4000k plus aircraft will be busy for the next month, I expect Ukraine will find it hard to come out of this with much of a victory

    Also if the Ukrainians cede territory now that we have seen the looting tendancy of the common Russian soldier they need to ensure they booby trap the hell out of homes.

    Something like a laptop on a desk attached to a claymore underneath it.

    Use the Russians greed and lawlessness against them.

    Yeah, how much of them are operational and not Styrofoam I wonder.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Always interesting to drop in on the internal content and propaganda Russians are subjected to with little alternative.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,441 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    One thing worth noting is that Ukraine have outsmarted Russia at every turn. They haven't just had a good war tactically, but a quite brilliant one. Fingers crossed they can keep this going.

    Two social media posts by the same Russian man, they were posted just over a month apart. In the first he is enthusiastic for the war, in the second five weeks later he is seeking answers about his missing son who was a Russian conscript on board the sunken Moskova

    Translation-

    First page: (12th March at 00:22)

    State Department: "Sanctions won't ease until Putin changes course in Ukraine"

    Putin, don't change course in Ukraine, stop groveling to these scoundrels. Only forward! #WeDontLeaveOurPeopleBehind


    Second page: (Today at 17:04)

    Guys, please spread this information. My son: Egor Dmitrievich Shkrebets, was called up for urgent military service from the city of Yalta on July 2, 2021. He was assigned to the city of Sevastopol and after completing his soldier's training he entered service on the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the missile cruiser "Moskva". He was assigned the post of the ship's cook supply service. On the night of April 13 to April 14, a tragedy occurred, the truth about which we have yet to find out, the official report of the Ministry of Defense states that a fire broke out on the ship and the ammunition detonated. It was reported that the entire crew had been evacuated. This is a lie! A blatant and cynical lies! My son (a conscript, as I was informed by the direct commanders of the cruiser "Moskva",) is not among the dead and wounded and is included in the list of missing people. A conscript who was not supposed to take part in military operations is listed as missing. Guys, how did he then go missing on the high seas?!!! After my attempts to clarify the data on the incident, the cruiser commander and his deputy stopped communicating with me. I asked them directly, why they, the officers, are alive, but my son, a conscript soldier, is dead?

    The bombed-out bus behind her is exactly the same as the one on her top.

    "Willing them on" and "hoping" sounds like one step up from "thoughts and prayers". Weapons,weapons, weapons is what they need, more, better,faster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Fiery mutant


    Agreed. My fear is that the western nations have reacted far too slow and meakly, and lost a golden opportunity to crush Putin and this Russian menace.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Yet another reminder of just what this war is doing to normal Ukrainians. Not a professional soldier, but a philharmonic pianist with wife and kids forced to take up arms to defend Mariupol. So sad As if Finghin Collins were to die in the battle for Dublin:

    I know your post constituted a lot of research/typing. But you forgot to mention Belaruse, mercenaries from Lybia, Syria,etc; the fierce Checnians,; The elite Wagan fighters, the Chinese ‘help’; the Russian Spies in the sky, and the information being fed back to the RU army from pro rushian speakers , living in Ukraine, but very pro Putin

    CHEARFUL, please edit/correct my post if it a ‘bit off ‘



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,369 ✭✭✭Field east


    Another reason Russia should be left to its own devices - have nothing to do with it, how could ANYONE have any idea of cooperating/patterning with RUssia if this is an example of its thinking/take on things

    I see some are saying that the Azov battalion in Mariupol cannot surrender as they will all be executed. Here is a dark thought, would it suit all sides (Russia, Ukraine and NATO) if the Azov battalion were completely eliminated?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,369 ✭✭✭Field east


    How come these buildings have survived . I thought that Mariopul was flattened. Maybe they are Teflon quoted?

    For the first time in many decades this directly applies to the German government. By holding off weapons support for Ukraine and buying Russian oil... they need to ask themselves this question.

    I hope she gets out, or better yet has gotten out. Of the other Russian youtubers I've seen that have expressed their opposition to this war they did so after they got the hell out of Dodge. Watching that I would be worried for her and can understand her mum's warnings about going to protests and all that. Flip it around and imagine an Irish person wandering around a scrapyard in Ireland speaking Russian, expressing pro Russian sentiments and putting it up on youtube. They'd almost certainly get some backlash and we're not a paranoid autocratic police state who just started a war, locked down free discussion and arrests citizens for holding up blank sheets or giving away free books.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    AHHHHHH! It all makes sense to me now (others may have copped this much earlier). What Putrid wants is to be able to replace the Russian flag with the USSR flag. He wants to be the one to say I brought sexy the USSR back. He needs to enslave satellite countries for this. FFS! What a gimp. All this for a piece of cloth, because the USSR was the last time they were "respected".

    Well, Wibbs, you'll soon be able to add another astonishing achievement to Russia 😛. Genius Scientist Putin is going to send the entire Russia back to the 1970s - that's some time travelling achievement.

    Yet another post for the Russians to use to make its case re upping the ante

    Long term, Ukraine might be more stable without them. The west may be less nervous about building up the Ukrainian military without them.
