For the last 6 months the Ukrainians were nothing but a bunch of bandits as far as the Russians were concerned, now they're a "serious army" 😂
Just show, punching Russia in the face is the only way to make them wind their necks in
Dear Komrade Pa ElGrande, your FSB cliff notes have been seized by the Ukrainian authorities and are now available (with English translations for us decadent westerners)
My personal favorite is number 11:

You are simply afraid. Russia is a country of great opportunities, it has a great history.

Notify the military police or other law enforcement agencies.
@Pa ElGrande Large parts of Luhansk and Donetsk, in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, were seized by Russian.
By Russian soldiers and fsb agents not people living there but people sent by Moscow.
Beginning to think this is a wind up
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh T-H-E BOMB, of course, how silly of me! 🤦♂️
Radek Sikorski warned them, you'll get kicked in the balls 🤷♂️
That's my kind of diplomacy.
In the words of the Private Eye cab driver, "There's only one language they understand."
Thats about 25 Tanks captured, roughly enough to equip 2 and half Russian Battalion Tactical Groups with tanks
Plus one is a T80 BVM, don't think they'll be too pleased about losing one of their fancy new models.

No -3
You don't have to be afraid the Russian federation doesn't retreat 🤣🤣😆🤣🤣😜
Now that it's discussed we can get away from it for 3-4 days and get back to.the UA advances
😋
But it doesn't
It just runs away like f@@k
Well that would be around 10% of the total MBT's in the British Army.
The Russians are falling apart, if the troops caught in Kherson are like the ones around Kharkiv I'd expect more good news.
Russia as a political and military power are a farce. I think the Ukrainians will sort out the demilitarisation of them, the rest of the world need to push for denuclearisation and they need to be kicked off the UN's security council.
Have a read of this! We know most of it but when it's put together in one place...
Have a look at this .
And on Russian tv something is definitely changing a few months ago this would never have been aired
First time probably we've heard genuine rowing and arguing on one of these shows. The first guy is making some pertinent (and unwelcome) points about Russia's whole relationship with Ukraine.
Iirc, there was a guy early on in the war on russian tv that was making similarly unpopular remarks, but I could be wrong.
There was.
And within 24 hours he reappeared in the media with a different opinion.
Too much of this echo chamber has left their army in the state it's in today .
What happens in Ukraine is Ukraine's business and there's nothing excessively nationalistic about preserving one's national borders.
In any case, I thought this war was about the denazification of Ukraine?
Russians are without doubt the biggest cowards on the planet, they can't even stand up to their own Government, they just play along like sheep, afraid to live, to be free, so how on earth were those same people expected to win a war, once it came down to close battles they fled like the sheep they are. Really weak minded people, sad. They can't even take on a midget like Putin, terrified of the lil man. Russia could be a free and beautiful country, but they need to rise up, and they just don't have it in them, they are like the people of North Korea, small, weak, terrified.
Horrible to think what has being happening to Ukrainians especially women and children by Russian soldiers in areas that have been under occupation for the last few months and liberated the last few days.
Once they can't hind behind their weapons, their true colours appear, bright yellow
Zelensky to his men !
The only way Russia will become democratic is under the tutelage of outside countries like Japan after the second world war.
For all their bloviating about colonialism, modern Russia is the product of a centuries long colonial enterprise - from the Caucuses to the Pacific, from the Central Asian steppe to Crimea. All taken by sword and gunpowder and the depredations of the project ferried back to the pockets of the corpulent elite in Moscow.
Democracy, rule of law, the political and economic empowerment of the periphery at the (perceived) expense of the mollycoddled centre is a completely alien language to the securitati that currently have their fangs in the neck of the Russian state.
It has always been thus, and if they are to change for good, it will have to be under the close supervision of the West that has a switch in its hand and be willing and ready to use it.
It's disgusting. And it's why I have no time for anyone who brainfarts the idea that Ukraine should negotiate or sue for peace or whatever. That barbarity is what's in store if Russians are allowed just come in and take what they want. The kind of person who thinks that Ukraine should sue for peace is the sort of person who would walk in on his wife being raped and wait until the rapist was done before offering him a cup of tea in the hope of some sloppy seconds later. It's depraved but that's what your Wallace and Daly types and even some posters here are advocating for.
The only solution to all this is for Russia to be sent back to its borders and isolated from the west until they learn to cop on. That would be unrealistic if not for the fact that they've been exposed as a paper tiger but here we are. They're a 12 man team, half of whom have football boots or hurls and the rest will throw away their jerseys and head to the pub at half time. Putin hollowed out the county and its institutions. They have nukes, sure, but so do India, Pakistan, North Korea and maybe soon, Iran. They have oil and gas but they sort of shat themselves there by accelerating the west's push for renewables. They've been shown not to be as major a world power as they were assumed to be. Their equipment is shíte and the countries buying it are going to know that now. I mean, by now I'm sure Xi must be wondering if he was fooled and might be made to look like a tit. Russia can't even properly invade a smaller country on its border, never mind project force around the world.
I won't be surprised if this whole misadventure makes a massive change to the global power structure in terms of the places below the West who, while docile, still pack a serious punch. Russia needs to know its place.
That last line hit's hard. You can tell Mr propaganda wouldn't be happy with the idea of his own kids fighting and dying.
They don't need to take it , they just need to be able to put down accurate artillery fire on the rail system and any military facilities...
Live is no good to most of us because we don’t speak Russian and the body language of let’s wipe Ukraine off the map and we are getting our arses kicked outrage is remarkably similar. 😃
Someone got hands on Moskva maintenance report two weeks before sinking, above lists in detail the deficiencies, keep in mind this was the flagship of the navy the pride of the fleet, no wonder rest of their military is in such sad shape
Something to actually compare when it comes to orc losses in ukraine.
Losses in Afghanistan after 10 years
To losses in Ukraine after 7 months
The Northern collapse has been a complete rout of Russian forces. Right back to the border. Be great if the same thing could be repeated down south.
Imagine the Ukrainian flag back over Mariupol again. That would be the death blow for Putin.
^^^ that’s a terrible slur towards the Neanderthals 🤣
Thanks very much for this. Hysteria and desperation denied, being evidence of same. Soviet’s eh? 🙄
