Its looking like they aren't getting Christmas cards this year
Wiped out
Definitely more than 150 dead
This is a sad sight .
Unlike Putin's misadventure in Ukraine Operation OUTTING RUSSOPHILES has been a big success. ^^^ and their thanks.
However, I'm fully serious when I say modern Russia is a joke of a country and it's heading towards North Korea levels. Fukking state of them.
All empires end... for recent reference see the USSR. As for the Mighty Russian Federation led by mafia style gangsters. How? time my good ruskie, time.
One child's experience of Russians deliberatly targeting civilians in Bucha
Loom at the treaty of Versailles. The german military was destroyed. down to 100k men. And see what happened? The country took it as a point of humiliation.
See what happened after communism fell? Russia was falling apart. People felt like outside forces were destroying the country. Many people began to look back fondly at the USSR. Along came Putin to make Russia feel strong again.
If Russia was to be so hobbled that it had to get rid of their nukes, how do you think they'd feel? Do you think they'd care one whit about the west. Your opinion is that they would blame Putin. But in a country with no free press and a massive security apparatus, that's hard. People in the soviet republics like Estonia rose up against the USSR but the Russians never did. And it was an internal coup that got rid of Gorbachev. Not the people. And he was a moderate reformer, not an autocrat like Putin.
If push came to shove, Putin will do anything to stay in power. That includes using nukes. That includes turning the army on his own people.
And his own people do have a lot of pride in Russia. they won't want to see it humbled and beaten.
What is going on in Putin's mind is very much mindset psychology. If one goes back to WW2 Stalin and Communism and onward to Fascism both Russia and China are very similar. Leadership in Russia in WW2 did not give a fig for the death rate within the Russian army or civilian life. Stalin just kept sending men forwards no matter how many died. Likewise, China in a similar mode did so later in support of the Korean and Vietnam wars. No matter how many died they would send more. Putin would not blink an eye if Russia lost 100,000 in the Ukraine invasion over 12 months. He would send 100,000 more. Against that mindset what can be done? What is best for Russia now is for all political prisoners [there are plenty in jail] to be released and for a proper democratic election to take place. Breaking up Russia or dividing it up like what happened to Germany after WW2 might be a foreseeable prospect. The problem is... what to do with all those missiles! If Putin is not removed from Russia along with his band of Orcs, he will keep sending in the cannon fodder. One possible situation to develop would be for commando runs on Gas and Oil facilities in Russia on a big scale to put an end to Russia's ability to sell gas and oil.
Love one of the descriptions in the pic [Clusterfuck AKA No great, not terrible] 😁
They still use the old soviet doctrine,send in everyone at once to the meatgrinder and hope to overwhelm the enemy
They are slowly starting to see trough the disinformation and propaganda they have been fed with the last 8 years
Why do you think Ukrainians calls them Orcs and Kremlin Modor
What zoo in russia did they find these animals in
If I had one wish from a genie it would be to remove Russia's nuclear weapons and send the rest of the world's military in to fúck them to all hell, hang their leaders from the walls of the Kremlin. I reckon two months would get it done. Tops.
It was a feint to conseal a different river crossing 🤣🤣🤣
So everyone who disagrees with you is automatically a 'Russophile'?
Interestingly enough, that's the sort of nonsense you hear on Russian tv these days. Just with the word 'Nazi' instead.
Good job,those pontoon bridges wiped out means they cant surround the ukrainian army anymore,and they can limp back to Russia instead
The fighting in and around azovstal in Mariupol is getting up close and personal
There are massive differences involved. A rellie of mine dealt with Soviet soldiers in the immediate aftermath of Germany falling and he noted the average Soviet troops he dealt with were almost all dirt poor farmboys from the provinces, illiterate to a man, even fascinated by things like electric light and indoor plumbing*(their officer class was far better educated). From another planet. That planet is long dead. Sure you still have the low IQ morons and people from the far flung provinces, but the majority are far more exposed to the world today. You could fling near cavemen at German forces in wave after wave back then, egged on by their "betters" at the point of a gun. They knew little better. IMHO today that will only work for so long and for a lot shorter time than back then. putin might not blink an eye at 100,000 dead Russian soldiers, but the country would, especially if they were made up of their blue eyed sons from the west, rather than Asiatics from the east.
The Chinese would be different too. Back then they didn't have the one child policy so big whoop if you lost a son, you had spares, now they don't.
*one story he told me; they were infamous for looting, and were big into stealing watches from dead Germans, but they would often throw them away as "broken" because they didn't know you had to wind them up and many of them couldn't tell the time anyway.
Russian tank turret with new record in altitude
Drone footage of the failed river crossing and surrounding area 70 + vehicles destroyed .
Ah Raoul, what you doing typing on here? You've homework to do to get the 'easy' Bulgarian (how is your Bulgarian btw?) strategic energy positions. Until you rectify (or even less likely, admit you were speaking through your hoop) your opinion has no currency here.
I believe the problem with these exploding tanks is that it is the munitions on board the tank itself that keep blowing up when struck - either the tanks were badly designed or the Ukrainians have identified a weak spot in the armour.
Judging by that river crossing massacre did it come under precision artillery attack? All that destruction can't have been by drones.
Were there Russian soldiers abandoning tanks etc. at the end of that video? Being in a Russian tank would be like sitting under one of those cartoon ACME targets. Grim.
Nice, succinct analysis. Russia isn't 'de-nuking' under any scenario short of armageddon.
See what happened after communism fell? Russia was falling apart. People felt like outside forces were destroying the country
That's the usual bs trotted out. Wtf would Germany have done with an army more than 100k in peacetime?
Russia destroyed their own country with the last straw being the invasion of Afghanistan. Again the only ones to blame and the Russians. Anything else is bs.
Like it or not. Russia is going down the drain exactly as it did when the Soviet Union fell apart post Afghanistan.
For the that not to happen, is going to take ordinary Russians being proactive. Russians have a long tradition of getting rid of those that fcuk them over. Putin days are marked but even more do if he tries to turn the army on his own people.
Its a common failure with all russia tanks with autoloader and ammo carousel,and two part ammo.
Once its penetrated its good bye
I heard that while N. Korea has nukes they still have not made them small enough to put on a missile.
The tank was not destroyed, it was promoted to air assault vehicle.
