A more realistic aim for them that they would probably have achieved from the start. If they had just concentrated on it alone.
They well might do it still.
Hopefully they'll be bled out before it or in short order.
Either way, Russia must be a dead country to the West, as is most of the rest of the world will start trading with them bit by bit.
Here's an interesting one in from Mali where the Wagner group tried to stage mass Graves being found on or in former french bases when they were fighting Islamists .the same group excecuted 300 civilian very recently .
Completely.
Just to comment about a Russian ambulance being targeted. It's not surprising as there have been numerous cases of them being found to be stacked with ammo.
Anything that's a one use suicide drone probably isn't going to be much more exciting than the switchblades, it's not a new stealth Reaper drone or anything game changing like that. Nonetheless, I'm not trying to downplay how usefel it might be, but 121 is about 1/20th what they need to take out artillery around the clock.
Perfect time for Japan to claim their islands back militarily.
The fact you think I ever cheered for the Russians shows your level of idiocy. Like most people, I was wrong in thinking the Russians would easily win the war and have said time and again how impressed I am by the Ukrainian resistance.
Nor have I excused any Russian crimes or anywhere said the Ukrainians are doing the equivalent.
So your post is utter bullsh*t.
What I do rail against is the simplistic cheerleading of you and many posters who only focus on one side and a couple of weeks ago were confidently predicting that Russia was about to be sent running home in defeat. Even Boris Johnson today has said that a Russian victory in Ukraine is a "distinct possibility". Wake up to reality.
This thread was interesting at one point but has just become ranty and intolerant of any remotely "dissenting" contributions as time has gone on by hurling names like "Kremlin agent".
Mind boggling with the physical size of Russia and they are still so intent on expansionism that they would risk a war with Japan over little more than a few mountains rising above the waves. They would spend more in 20mins of that war than could ever be earned from holding the territory for 5 lifetimes
Where did I give my medical opinion? I merely said that his frail appearance could be something as temporary as stress rather than all the terminal diagnoses being gleefully made here. It wasn't a diagnosis, more a caution against rushing to conclusions
Your home wouldn't be of any benefit to you if it was surrounded by armed forces that prevent you from getting food and water.
he certainly misjudged the ****ing war....
The official state of war between them ceased in 1956.

It’s seems life logic and Russia are mutually exclusive. Just look at the enforced axe suicides of so called wealthy gas executives.
They also appear to have an attitude that if we (Russians) can’t have it , then neither can you, we’ll take it or destroy it.
Japan has no nukes, and is the only G-7 member not to be a part of Nato. They really need to get their ducks in line before taking on Russia..
They are also nowhere near the Atlantic.
Although the treaty that created NATO was probably badly named considering that Russia/ USSR which was the point of NATO existing does border and and come uncomfortably close to other NATO friendly nations around the other side of the world.
The reason you hear it so good is probably because the camera on the actual drone have a microphone,if you stand on the ground underneath i doubt its that loud.
Its a battery powered drone,and its just a testrun as far as i know.
And yes the red cross was probably a bad choice of a target,as we know that symbol means dont shoot,maybe black colour or an x is better
Hes holding on for a rough ride in the war crime tribunal in Hague
Any sign of POTUS visiting Kyiv?
Only in Russia you get a medal for killing civilians and raping women and children
Japan is one of the USA closest allies. Mess with them at your peril I’d think
Japan has a defensive pact with USA, if it attacks Russia it might lose that pact. But then again Japan might say its defending its territory. If one lesson from Ukraine, its necessary to send militry immediately to posture agaisnt Russia threats, otherwise they will just move in like they did in Ukraine.
The thing is, if those whole escapade is primarily about 'glory' and 'legacy' for Putin, as measured by square yardage of Ukraine annexed, that approach does make a twisted sense. If a given stretch of the Donbas basically resembles the final scene of Blackadder Goes Forth, the Ukranians, being rational people, might start to question how hard they should be fighting to hold or regain it, either on the battlefield or at the negotiating table. Whereas the bould Vlad doesn't care if it's a smouldering wasteland, it's more territory for Mother Russia.
Not if the US secret service are doing their job 😉
They still won't support the Ukrainians and will still vote for Le Pen in their millions. Only good for setting fire to sheep.
You diagnosed him with Stress, keep up.
I can't let go of a table either when I'm stressed.
One of his spokespeople said such a trip would never be announced or flagged up in advance. It will almost certainly happen though, probably in the not too distant future.
They have a long standing strategic alliance with the US. They have the more important part of NATO on their side.
I used the word could and was very obviously merely making a point about not jumping to the most melodramatic conclusions all the time. But if you're determined to misinterpret, go ahead
That’s true I guess we won’t see him til we see him there
