This is very true and let's be honest, it's first and foremost the male of the species.
This sadism is uniquely human
Putin won't allow a loss, that is why the nukes are in Belarus, he will use it, I have no doubt whatsoever, it's only a matter of time, what then ?
...
Can't see any sense in laying siege to any town or village. Bypass them, cut off their supply and starve them of support. Soon they'll be 15 to 20km inside Ukrainian territory, surrounded and shítting their pants. Surrender will be their only option.
Lol
That’s the fifth in six days 😁
Very unfair on animals. Can't think of many animals that go out to maim or hurt other animals out of spite. By far the worst animals on this earth, walk on two legs, consider themselves superior and have a infinite capacity to find knew ways to kill and maim both their own species and every other one unfortunate enough to cross their path.

This is a video of the action
Battles for Pyatikhatki: The enemy has been knocked out of Pyatikhatki, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are driving infantry, regardless of losses
Vasilyevsky district, the line of defense of Pyatikhatka-Zherebyanka. Our troops are conducting a maneuverable defense - they let the enemy closer, and then work on him with artillery, aviation. #украина #Ukraine

They are absolutely a priority target, and it's why conducting an opposed obstacle crossing (which requires specialised equipment) is one of the most difficult operations an Army can do.
DeepState have now also added a filter for the Russian fortifications. That's handy as it's easy to contrast that with the current front-lines that they also show
Ukrainians look like they're very close to Vasylivka, which if they could take it, would be the first settlement of any real note in this counteroffensive.
However, for now, it looks like Ukraine's main priority is to sever Russian lines and not got caught up in trying to siege towns, which is probably exactly what the Russians would like them to attempt and lose men. If the Ukrainians get within proximity of these kinds of settlements, would the Russians be dumb enough to redeploy more men in them for defence, leaving rural lines stretched? Past form says you couldn't rule it out.
Must make people proud to be Russian.
This was the focus of the last two videos from the Reporting from Ukraine channel. On the first day they attacked, they ultimately got pushed back when the Russians used helicopters against them. They regrouped and attacked again the next day and it seems it has been a success:
More mine-clearing going on. I wonder what the procedure is here? Like what steps must happen before they bring these things out like this? They'd be a nice target for enemy artillery and lancet drones but I'm not sure how you can easily defend against either of those.
Russia *poisons a couple of lads*
UK *sips tea, eats biscuits, hands over AA, Challengers, Storm Shadows and more to Ukraine*
Just new intelligence. Like they say "Tactics is for amateurs, logistics is for professionals."
UAF possibly using Storm Shadows for hitting ammo dumps in the rear or something else?
the March forward continues
they really are a nation of scummy kunts..is there a trip switch that as soon as they join the army they behave like animals ?
At the rate that armor is being destroyed I can see this war petering out by the end of Summer. Two Russian helicopters knocked out yesterday. 7 tanks, 23 APV, 13 artillery pieces...how long can this go on before one or both sides becomes depleted?
Social media reports of large ammo dump of the moskovytes destroyed in occupied territory.

I wonder do Claire and Mick approve
Amongst post ww2 germans themselves yes. I was thinking more in terms of the policies and attitudes of other countries towards them at the time. Germany was bound by treaties and alliances, not to mention thorough denazification, to prevent a repeat of what had gone before. A vengeance driven peace imposed on Germany post ww1 led to the Nazi era and all that followed.
Ask a German, they'll tell you otherwise. It's more a sociological stigma. I've had more than one German friend/colleague tell me about it.
“Just as to be German was a dirty word for decades after WW2”.
Wrong. France & W. Germany were founder members of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 following the Schumann Declaration of the year before. W. Germany went on to join NATO in 1955. None of this would have happened so quickly if your suggestion were in any way true.
Extrapolating total Ukrainian armed forces losses over the last nine days of an escalated counteroffensive from material being released from putin's side of the information war doesn't make any sense to me. The fact that one incident of Ukrainian armour being stopped is being shown repeatedly and from different angles may be simply because putin's forces have nothing else they can show off as a positive and statements from Ukraine maintain the losses on the moskovyte side remain higher than their own.
Whatever the losses for Ukraine are now it is the land in front of the prepared moskovyte defenses where the costs for Ukraine are likely to be the highest as this is where putin's forces have decided to try to hold a line to keep the territory they have illegally occupied. Ukraine now has a much better idea of what tactics putin's forces will try to use to stop them and an increased number of moskovyte helicopters being shot down and moskovyte artillery being destroyed points to ways the cat and mouse of battlefield strategy is likely to play out with success from one side seeing countermeasures from the other.
Not sure if anyone honestly believed removing putin's forces from Ukraine would be easy but I'm fairly sure Ukraine's armed forces know well that it was going to be difficult and I get the feeling they have the determination to tackle the problem of the criminal invaders of their country even if it is not going to be easy or smooth sailing the whole way to sending them back over the border or turning them into fertiliser..
Anti air.
