Fuc* them. Good things will happen despite them.
Several countries will announce the dispatch of Leopard 2 tanks in Ukraine on Friday at a meeting at the German Ramstein airbase - Reuters, citing the Lithuanian Defense Minister.
Russia-Ukraine war: Kyiv to receive ‘hundreds’ of tanks from several nations, says Lithuania

That blond woman is in every photo shoot with him, playing various parts…
..
Putin the knobhead.
He does look like he is on a steroid treatment.
It's certainly quite possible, but the change in him is notable. If he had never been President, I'd say people who knew him 20 years ago wouldn't even recognise him if he passed them on the street today.
It's propaganda to make the Russians think they are under attack from nato.
But look at his contemporaries - the Clintons, George Bush jr, Blair etc....anyone would recognise them instantly from their younger version.
He probably has a truck load of doubles. Very often I see him and there seems to be something different about him I can't put my finger on.
High and sustained doses of steroids, commonly used for cancer treatment, would potentially broaden your features like that.
The German government didn't vote to send tanks to Ukraine due to opposition from it's far right party and the far left party it's will be be sent to a separate committee for further discussion.
Cowards
I mentioned it a few posts back, if there ever would be a pushback against Putin, it would start in a place like Samara where most of those killed in Makiivka were from. And I would not like to be the local recruitment agent there, none the less, this is exactly the kind of activity Putin will crack down hard against, because he has to. He cannot allow this behavior to spread, because if it does, it will mark the beginning of the end for him
They still had to go there and register their abstention, it's not the same as not turning up at all.
Worryingly 25% of all MEPs were listed as no shows.
If it's simply the case that he has had loads of Botox and fillers and put on weight, he still looks very different to the person we saw twenty years ago - scarcely even recognisable.
Yes. This is a good thing comrade. We are winning so well, the enemy may soon be able to hit our capital city.
With the Instillation of Anti Air systems around Moscow Buildings
We are starting to see some reactions
One Russian Military Blogger really thinks it a good sign
I am sure everyone here would agree that Installing Anti Air systems around the tall buildings of Dublin can only indicates that good things are happening.
It's blatantly obvious is not him , others have suggested it's only because of Botox.
Any excuses really to discredit the idea that their is multiple versions of some guy call putin
Same idea. Drop it down somewhere half way on the way and have a local swap out a battery if the coast is clear.......double your range
All the quad rotar drones DJIs and various clones all use lipo batteries that can be changed in seconds along with the Larger multi rotors (largest drones)
It's easily doable
Reading this thread I’m guessing Germany and Switzerland?
I must say the current version of Putin looks radically different to the one from the early 2000s. I'm not suggesting he's dead for a moment, but it looks like two completely different people.
At least the two numpties abstained. But still the usual piss poor performance from there. Such an embarrassment for the country.
Are those drones they fly battery powered?
If the Ukrainians had a drone with a range of X, and given they appear to have been able to avoid Russian detection, if they had some supporters inside Russia then why not fly them as far as they can inside Russia and have their people recharge them and send them on their way again.
Very simplistic I know
European Parliment vote on establishing a tribunal on the crimes of aggression against Ukraine
It passed overwhelmingly but guess how the voting went for Irish MEPs
9 yes
2 abstain (Claire Daly and Mick Wallace)
2 no shows (Ming Flanagan and Chris McManus)

looks like countries have had enough with Schloz and are going to act tomorrow.
Edit: live feed showing wrong cover page
Lithuanian foreign minister expects goodness in relation to tanks tomorrow.
Also, Moldova requesting AA support due to possible Russian aggression.
It's a pro-Orc account. Expect a hair-trigger respons on sensitive issues.
But they are only over kill if they are used to target ammo dumps ,
But they would be very effective against command and control centers , transport hubs and airfields something, which is exactly what they want to do but don't have the right weapons to do so .
But they are finalizing the testing of a new drone that can travel 1000km carrying a 75 kg warhead all designed and built in Ukraine
Sweden has announced that as aswell as sending a number of Archer mobile artillery systems, fantastic pieces of kit they will also be sending 50+ CV90 IFVs probably one of the best off the shelf infantry vehicles anywhere (been hoping they would be sent since week one ), along with more anti tank weapons .
CV90
It's a quip, come on, you are better than this.
He's trolling the Russians about Putin hiding away, and about their decision making and who is really calling the shots. Here's the full video of that section of his speech. Scroll to 1 minute in.
Here's the transcript for the full context:
"I don't quite understand who to talk to and about what. I'm not sure that the Russian president who sometimes appears against a green-screen chromakey is actually the one. I don't quite understand if he is alive or whether he makes decisions, or whoever else makes decisions there. What group of people? I don’t have that kind of information.
I don't quite understand how you can promise European leaders one thing, and the next day launch a full-scale invasion of a country. I just don't quite understand with whom we are dealing. When we say "peace talks", I don't quite understand with whom."
