Indeed. But we must think about it. As horrible at that is.
To (probably) misquote a war documentary I remember from the 90's, The Nazis and the horror they unleashed on the world was a warning from history. A warning of the incredible cruelty mankind is capable of.
It's pretty easy to take these kind of horrors and pin them onto 1930's Germans or pin the horror in Ukraine onto the Russians of today, but such things are possible anywhere and at anytime when the conditions are right. We should never take for granted it could never happen here. It is important for us to remember what had happened in Irpin, Mariupol, and anywhere else these animals have chosen to forget their humanity. More importantly, we must never allow them to forget what they did.
Must be the only country in earth where children are told stories about keeping away from windows as they are dangerous things
He suffered sadness.
No he was grabbed and thrown out a window
Likes of Germany and France “Break ranks” and do what exactly?
* Invade Eastern European countries bordering Russia who are extremely supportive of Ukraine in order to reach Ukraine to teach those Ukrainians a lesson with a second front??
* Continue trading with Russians??
* Continue allowing Russians and their dirty money in??
* Drop the so far weak sanctions???
* Stop sending aid? Oh wait Germany sent **** all compared to others and it’s own promises in reality
* Send macron back to Kremlin, again??
* Tear apart the EU for mother Russias benefit??
Seriously can the “oh I’m such a cynical Putin admirer” like yourself spell out how exactly can likes of Germany force Ukraine to negotiating table and handover up a fifth of its country/population/resources (and forgetting all the atrocities) to Putin so he can start rebuilding for next campaign in Baltics or Poland or Finland
These “German industry is going to save (Brexit) Russia” type meme posts are getting tiring in their sheer stupidity and lack of awareness of who actually has a say and influence in this war, and just how deeply Putin has screwed Russia over.
Perhaps if this hadnt been preceeded by two plus years of economic suicide thanks to Covid and climate hysteria then that would be the case. People now take a very jaundiced view of taking hits for the greater good when the last sacrifice for the greater good turned out to be a crock of ****
If fuel shortages bite hard, European countries will break ranks. If we'd hadnt been so deluded about the viability of renewable sources then Ukraine would not be in this fix.
how original, stay classy Putin
Russian Telegram reporting Ukrainian activity across the Dnipro river in Enerhodar (where the nuclear power plant is).
Browsing the various Gorbachev articles and tributes I came across this commentary on Putin.
That sounds very interesting Gatling. Ever since father of the present Mr. Kadyrov got blown up in Grozny, (which shows just how the opposition viewed the family even back then,) and they have not gone away. There's even a Chechen Govt in exile, and they have been hindering the Kadyrov's all the time, but unable to topple them. Seems like now they could be increasing the pressure. If ( or more likely when) Putin rides off into the sunset, and Kadyrov Jun. no longer has his support, I think that you will see big changes in Chechnya. There are lots of rural villages and towns where you will find it hard to find military aged men, they have "taken to the wood's" to avoid Kadyrov's militias. For all his boasts about fighting in Ukraine, Kadyrov's men only have experience in hunting ( and killing) small Nrs of Chechen opposition that they heavily outnumber and out gun.
Its been said for while now,Russia have spent over 3000 missiles so far,so i guess they get them from somewhere,last was from Belarus,but now its probably all gone soon.
Apparently, there is a lot of activity in and around Kharkiv late tonight, not just Russian missile strikes. Seems the Ukrainians may be advancing somewhere in the region (residents can see numerous prolonged flashes in the direction of the Ukraine-Russia border, as if a battle is underway).
Oddly enough russian strikes on Kharkiv today came from s300 air defense systems ,the most dangerous air defense in the world has yet to shoot down anything of note is now being used to hit Ukrainian cities, which does suggest Russia is running low on heavy and smart munitions of all varieties
Russia running low on missiles,hope they are right
I know,but its the only sources we have unfortunately simce Ukraine have gone silent during the offensive
We will see in a few days how its going.
There are some indications atleast
Ye seen that,concrete straight over dead bodies
Which makes total sense,I remember early on in the discussion suggesting the Archer system for ukraine at some point, but if I remember correctly, and you might have a better idea but isn't there less than 15 systems In the swedish military operational and a few being tested in Aberdeen for US army trials ?
Only recently the Ukrainian were getting blamed on damaging the PZHs , but I believe the Germans had the same issues with the system too
Exactly , then deportating 500,000 + kids to be forcibly adopted to russian families on the far side of Russia ,
And there's been pretty much radio silence about it,
Watch as Russia will blame the Azoz battalions on carrying out the genocide and Posters on will run with it for years
Honestly, they already have Caesar which performs a similar role, and PzH2000 for another. Instead of adding yet another new type for the maintainers to try to keep track of and gunners to learn, they're be better off getting more of what they already have.
The bizarre part of it is that Mariupol was largely a Russian speaking city. They have killed those whom they lied about coming to protect.
Doesn't even bare thinking about. 😥
Mariupol could end up being this war's Belsen-Bergen. The Allies weren't even aware of the existence of the camp prior to liberating it in April 1945 (hence their utter horror at what they found there). If Mariupol is ever liberated, we could end up hearing thousands of horror stories of what actually happened in the city.
Big pinch of salt ,it's Russian opinion pieces , geared towards implicating nato
Genocide.
They are currently in the middle of destroying evidence at the Mariupol theater , pumping chlorine and concrete into the building to try hide what they did
Ukraine is rotating their troops,fresh troops just joined in eager to fight with new NATO weapons
If this is a fact,then Russia have alot of explaining to do
Time will tell. We are all hoping for a swift Ukrainian victory let's see what's what in a months time.
Russia self-immolating
Putin is sick, evidence in his latest video slumped to one side and fat fingers on one hand ,
But simple a simple we are seeing the Ukrainian strikes ,we know where they are currently pushing and where they plan to go to ,
3 times I've seen it claimed on here Ukraine taking massive losses and the Russian airforce hitting them hard , according to orc's.
Yet no evidence to back up the claims
Ha. That’s apparently a years old interview with a clubber about dance music with a fake translation, and has been used in loads of memes
Remember Putin has 2 weeks to live, Russia has enough money to keep the war effort up for another 2 weeks, the ghost of Kyiv etc...
Both sides use propaganda. It's what happens in a war.
