The debate on those two bombings has raged since the war and not to anything like a satisfactory conclusion. The reality as usual is likely six of oen, half dozen of the other.
Every now and again some weird Irish commentator pops up on my twitter feed to claim that all the Russian massacres were actually carried out by Ukraine and America is the biggest threat to peace in the world. As it happens they all seem to be SF supporters but Im sure that’s just a coincidence
Sure, the A bombs were (and are) terrible weapons, but to balance out the situation, have a look at the movie " Hacksaw Ridge". A true story about a non-violent US soldier who refused to carry a weapon or kill any one because of his religious beliefs, but still wanted to serve his country. He was some man for one man, for sure, a true hero. It's not for the squeamish though, as the battle scenes were very true to life. A bit like the opening scenes from "the search for Private Ryan" or Enemy at the gate". Putin threatening to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine (and possibly further afield) in this day and age is inexcusable. But them all of his actions to date have been inexcusable.
Likely his only source of income now. That's really hitting rock bottom. but to be fair, his previous should inspire the rapists the russian army has conscripted.
Ah, but did he say whose plan?
That’s probably the objective. They won’t even need to be armed, just sit at the border for the winter getting drunk. Could actually be a smart move by Putin for a change.
If they were unarmed and getting drunk, there's a good chance that the Ukrainians would know about it thanks to US intelligence. In such a case the Ukrainians could leave a much smaller shadowing force in place, or even send such a force in to set them running.
The footage and reports on some of ten reddit pages makes it seems like a near rout of Russians forces from Lyman. It reads that rather than surrender the Russians attempted to retreat along the main road which may have been mined, AT2 rockets, artillery, etc, etc.
This looks like a very bad idea from the Russians, how bad, we'll find out in a couple days I'd say.

Russians are sending men without dog tags to Ukraine. So Zelensky is asking them to tattoo their names on their bodies “so we know how to find your relatives when you are killed”
Something for russians to consider on there bus ride
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere yet:-
For the first time ever Russia has been voted out from the UNs International Civil Aviation Organisation Tier 1 which is normally reserved for "countries of chief importance in civil aviation", they also missed out on Tier 2.
It is possible they may find a place on the bottom Tier 3, we will find out on Tuesday.
Good thread on it here:-
No surprises really, that's what happens when you try to invade countries, cause atrocities and steal planes.
Ukrainian volunteer and his experience of the battle at lyman.
Sounds like a rout alright.
I agree. It crossed my mind that the Ukraine intelligence release that the likely use of nuclear weapons is 'very high' may be aimed to break the complacency among those surrounding Putin.
If this is genuine it sounds like sheer hell
The MAGA wing of the Republican party (which these days is practically the entire party) seems to be turning against helping Ukraine. Tucker Carlson is the most obvious example but there were a lot of people (such as Donald Trump Junior) tweeting that money for Ukraine should have been going to help hurricane victims in Florida instead. Earlier today, the official CPAC account tweeted and then later deleted this:
Ukraine is so lucky that Trump still isn't in power. Hopefully the Senate Republicans keep passing the aid package bills.
Ah but remember didn't Trump tell us if he was still in power he never would have allowed this war to start in the first place.
This is all no surprise.
And yes, if Trump was in power I'm certain Ukraine would get next to no support from the US.
On the other hand we'll never know if Putin would have invaded with Trump in power, given their weird relationship
It's pronounced nukular...nukular
Does anyone have the redit link for the war?
Russian for beginners
I'm very surprised someone hasn't put a missile through that cnut Kadyrov's skylight yet. He's very prominent, is active in the war and is promoting nuclear attack, yet not someone Putin would sweat losing. It would send quite the message to off him while he's stuffing his fat face at home.
Get involved in Ukraine at your peril. Anyone not directly on Russian soil is a target. Plus you push chechnya further towards a revolt which would stretch Russia to breaking.
Riddle me this
Biden said there wont be a nord stream 2 if war happens
Ns2 is blown up......
Obv its putin like wtf??
There was a lot of debate about this in president Bush's time-
Language Log » Pinker on Palin's "nucular" (upenn.edu)
Mick Wallace on Twitter spouting his usual garbage, saying NATO is to blame for all this, the US blew up the pipelines, and the EU is becoming too authoritarian. The utter comical irony.
He is such a colossal embarrassment to this country.
The likes of Tucker Carlson have been floating the idea of turning America's back on Ukraine since the earliest days of the conflict, if not before that. Thankfully, it's not an idea that seems to have taken hold in the wider Republican base. Maybe there's still enough of the old Commie fear left over in American minds to keep support of Ukraine a viable political proposal for as long as it takes to make Russia's war effort unviable. It would have been a serious pity if after all of America's morally-dubious meddling with Middle Eastern countries that they dropped the ball when it came to helping push back a real threat to world peace and lurch toward world authoritarianism.
Mick's one of those cases where you go so hard left, you end up supporting hard right positions. Not helped by being buttered up by RT.
How many times you gonna ask this question and ignore the answers you don't like?
It's been asked and answered multiple times on the thread, and funny how the people who 'just ask the question' never followup on any of the answers...
"I'm just here to ask questions, because I know my conclusions would be complete b*llshit..."
Ammo
People here still thinking US blew up pipeline, there’s a new flag out for you guys, you can buy it here:
