What does several tons of up armoured humvee look like after crashing

Not an up armoured one that wasn't hit by other vehicles first

Prigozhin nails it here:

I wonder what's his next move.

Looks like we might get incursions into Belarus via ukraine.... With a little encouragement from Poland...

The video was likely staged for news reports no doubt.

But the vehicles flown from afghanistan just to be staged? lol conspiracy theories gone wild

There is drone footage and videos made by insurgents showing those vehicles in use in the area

And the staged video does show they control the checkpoint once more on the border - gives some credence to claim that militants were "repelled" (on that axis at least, no videos yet from southern 3 reported crossings)

Daly and Wallace cannot see ( or don't want to see) the forest on account of the tree's.

Very interesting points. We've heard a lot about how this invasion has only led to the expansion of NATO on Russia's borders despite that being used as a pretext for the invasion. This is the first time I have seen anyone point out that the Demilitarization of Ukraine, as a pretext has also spectacularly back-fired. He's right too. Even going back to before the invasions in 2014 - I heard on a podcast recently that the UAF at that time only had a few thousand active servicemen. That grew rapidly from that year on after the initial invasions and absolutely exploded in growth since the full on invasion.

Nobody has done more for the militarization of Ukraine than Vladimir Putin.

Do you think Russia will continue to leave its border and towns defenceless against further raids? Will it have to assign forces to protect it? Or keep back a reserve to respond more quickly next time?

And that will mean less troops actually fighting in Ukraine.

He Also came out and said the F16 training had already began only for the Americans to come out and say no it hasn't.

Safe to say that this is Likely not true or no where near the number he claimed

Clip from Daly's appearance the other day. She's campist-splaining to an actual Ukrainian refugee....

Russia has 2 million reservists just sitting around really that could be sent to the front but haven't?

Sure they do.

Also, we don't know how many casualties were actually taken by the raiding force as opposed to what Russia claims.
