Unconfirmed sources are saying the Admiral Makharov, the new flagship of the Black Sea Fleet following the Moskva, has been destroyed 🤞🤞
Those storage tanks look ripe for picking
Something to do with the old term "gun cotton" I'd say.
Something has spooked Spewtin' it seems, and now the Ukrainian gloves are off.
The Russian misadventure is obviously now doomed and I won't be surprised if third parties soon begin to establish a humanitarian aid presence in Ukraine.
I have no idea what has happened but a communication (in no uncertain terms) must have been made to Spewtin' - he's now just the boy at the reception desk methinks. He does appear to have been allowed to pretend he's still in charge though.
Has Forest ran?
Whatever happens they need to get the hundreds of thousands of children back from Russia. The poor things must be so terrified.
Edit...FAKE..Removed link
Hopefully true, and if true, they should really stop declaring Flagships of that fleet. Clearly triggering Murphys’s Law each time they do it :P
A number of things have been stated that Putin did not include in his calculations when deciding to invade Ukr. The following has not been highlighted as another aspect that he did not think about ie. The possibility of even a very small % of his army, navy and airforce - from inside- doing things in favour of Ukr eg sharing intelligence with Ukr, putting sand into fuel tanks ,placing bombs ,etc, etc, etc, etc.
they could act as such for the following reasons :-—
-they could have deep family/ friends connections in Ukr and would have a lot of empathy towards that end
And is it the case that a number of Irish who fought with the Uk various wars switched sides especially when it came to Irish /UK conflict early in the 20th centuary
It’ll eventually be handed to the commander of a garbage scow (shout out to the wing commander crew!)
Yes, it's the biggest of the lingering issues.
Hopefully Ukraine's advanced society will have DNA records for many of it's citizens. I honestly believe that mandatory blood testing must be imposed on Russia in cases of doubt.
Isn't it traditionally the Red Cross that attempts to track movement and later repatriate people? Can they handle this situation or should a replica organisation be set up to deal with the Ukrainian situation alone?
In years to come there may be call centres, encouraging Russia "citizens" unsure of their heritage to make contact.
The damage that Putin has caused to the psyche of countless people is approaching infinite in that there will be no end to the repercussions.
"John ..there's Russians in the milking parlour."
"Did you try turning the volume washer on them?"
Isn't this from a video game, feels like we've seen this before.
Correct, definitely not from last night
They are completely Fukked once winter proper sets in.
Maybe the reason they are armed so poorly is the Russian “Government” are afraid they’ll turn on them. The flaw in that strategy is if they are not fit to fight the internal system what chance have they of making an impact on battle hardened Ukrainians troops? 💩
I'm sure he will be along soon to tell us some amazing new fact he's discovered about Ukraine
True, but maybe there would be negative implications for civillians, they aren't the Horde, after all.
So unlucky to have 2 spontaneous ammo combustion events in the same year within the same fleet.
Definitely.
At this stage I think he'll be quietly wheeled away and will decree that a "temporary deputy" be put in place.
If the above happens (and I do think there's a chance) then Russia will slink away out of Ukraine.
The Red Cross have come dangerously close to, if not crossed the line of, facilitating the abduction of Ukrainian children. The various international agencies have shown their shortcomings in this war - and I have sympathy for the predicament the Red Cross find themselves in, but providing aid and support to the relocation centres is ultimately the greater crime.
Thanks...I've removed the link
Christ posting video game footage is a new low for this thread.
The Red Cross run a continually updated data base for the missing. Once its reported, a file is created, and that person is tracked as much as its possible, and the file is never forgotten. It's one of the major undertakings of the Red Cross and runs across continents and Countries.
Ukraine saying there's 40k Russians across the river guarding Kherson. How are they going to resupply and feed this army over the winter while under constant attacks?
To err is human. Some video games are quite realistic and unfortunately not everyone is as sharp at spotting cgi as you obviously are. The poster even removed the link.
A lot of “sarcastic” cope going on in this thread the past few days. I don’t know how you can all bury your heads in the sand and refuse the calls to bring Ukraine to the negotiating table. The West is slowly but surely tiring of its support for Ukraine. I’ll admit those of us seeking peace are in the minority for the moment, but Ukraine has to get ahead of the curve while it still has something resembling a winning hand.
So you think a negotiating with a regime while they are raping, kidnapping and murdering Ukraines children, women and men is a good idea…all while Russia is now on the back foot and have started losing the terrorist campaign they started. How do you justify support of such vile actions in your head?
Anyone calling for peace is labelled a Putin Bot, anyone even mentions NATO and by default the US and their culpability in this mess is branded a conspiracy theorist, you'll find most of their names on the first page.Hence, we have arguably one of the most one sided discussions on Boards. People asking for a continuation of this terrible conflict that could potentially be the end of us all are either simple minded or do not fully grasp the absolute carnage that even a tactical nuclear war will bring.
I've no problem holding my head up high in supporting Ukraine against the illegal invasion of murderous raping hordes of Russian sub-humans.
But what negotiations will make Russia stop their invasion??
What do you think would make them happy to stop??
The war should never have started.
Nobody here or anywhere bar Russia-wanted it.
Russia just have to pull their troops out of Ukraine and go home. Why is that concept so hard to digest for “ peace lovers”.
Russia have no interest in negotiating and the last time they did they tried to poison everyone.
