Like kosovo?
What election results? Do we seriously think that the local Russian administration in these places have actually bothered to count any 'votes'???
This is simply Russia laying claim to all this territory to suit their domestic narrative.
We may as well declare tomorrow that we're annexing the six counties of Northern Ireland. That's about the sum of it.
I'm referring to how Putin will react if those areas are attacked.
once the counts come in from the ballot boxes in the far flung war ravaged areas it will be a tight result
No rush, they won't be able to use them for another 3 months.
Will be an interesting next 24-48 hours with the election results.
Poland has order for a number of Abrams which they are buying ,a few other nato countries might get some other's will get leopards and other vehicles
8 years old boy and 9 years old girl were killed as result of Russian missile strike in Dnipro city, fragments of bodies were extracted from the rubble
Who says it not accurate exactly,
Someone makes a post you counter and say not true then run away
Petraeus was interviewed in the last couple of days and strongly suggested it would be M1's going to NATO countries to backfill their transfers of T-72s to Ukraine.
There's still a road up the East side of the Zherebets that would get them to Svatove that's not in the Ukrainian's control yet. It might be a bit of a duck shoot though.
First I seen it ,
Seen it in Sweden with their Saab viggens
first time I seen an f18 doing it in Europe
It's good to see the republicans make statements like that and not roll over on their belly like TFG (and we know Graham would have form for that usually).
That particular "roadbase" hasn't been used in decades because it's on a major highway, but the air force regularly practices on roadbases around the country (which generally means landing/taking off on runways marked on roads).
Loads of them around the country, they look like this.
Only when it's whataboutery, and it usually is.
Doubt they will get Abrams,at this point in the game , other vehicles maybe
Maybe in the future they might get a look in for Abrams,the next order of Abrams are going to Poland
If there are international war crimes trials, Solovyov and Skabayeva could easily find themselves in the dock as regime propagandists. I think this might be slowly starting to dawn on him.
Here come the Abrams.
In the coming days, important steps may be taken to provide the Ukrainian army with more modern tanks," Senator Lindsey Graham said during a video briefing
Wow, how have i not realised up to this point that it is all America's fault. Thanks for setting me straight.
Russia deployed 3 SU-30SM fighter jets (RF-81772, RF-81760 и RF-81758) at Baranavichy airfield in Belarus
The comment in the tweet isn't accurate. The road through Zarichne still appears to be open.
The Ukrainians have said they have already encountered some conscripts at lyman and that they might as well not be there for the nonexistent contribution they made.
You'll be called a putinbot for pointing that simple fact out.

An interesting detail about Orc nukes is that the only ones deployed and immediately usable are the bigger yield ones on ICBMs. The smaller yield tactical ones are all stored in a few bunkers and have to be retrieved before use.
Nuclear strike: facts about why Russia will not be able to unexpectedly hit Ukraine:
👉Satellites will record preparations at the stage of transportation, the conditions for storing nuclear warheads are very strict.
👉NATO allies have warned Russia that the alliance could destroy a convoy with nuclear weapons as it approaches its starting position.
Interesting detail about back channel warnings being made.
Surely 'withdrawal' is not on the menu of options if you're encircled?
Two wrongs are a wrong. Putin's invasion is wrong, American invasions were wrong (American here and few Americans think Iraq was just). They're all wrongs. No justification whatsoever.
Latest Rybar map. If true, surely the Russians will have to withdraw in the next day or two.
The head of Dagestan Sergei melikov isn't impressed at all with Russian draft officials
Did I read correct Russia has stopped all traffic heading into Norway today
