I believe that's number 15 in this latest killstreak. I notice Ukraine include a time under the date as it's easy to loose track of the numbers!
Meanwhile, in Inguishtia, https://twitter.com/i/status/1763977975563694196
Looks like that video of a yesterdays downed plane was uploaded onto YouTube on the 28th Feb. It could be of another plane recently downed, but its beginning to look a lot like the ghost of Kiev propaganda
It was revealed last week that they have modified the s300 Sam.
Gonna need to start seeing some proof. If it's true there's a patriot battery running amok.
I like the sound of that one.
Obviously them been shot down far behind the Frontline makes visually confirmation pretty hard, but people have been trying to track them all.
And Ingushetia is in a very restive part of Russia too, Its central to Vladikavkas, Grozny and Beslan. I doubt that you will find too many Kadyrov followers there.
It should be said again. Russia is not some economic monster. Within NATO/EU even taking out America, Germany, France, UK, Italy and Canada all have larger economies on their own. Spain's economy is around 1.4 trillion and the Dutch also over 1 trillion. The Russian economy is just under 1.8 trillion with it's reserves being depleted by the day. In fact Putins aggression has pushed another nearly 900 billion of economic power into NATO. For context Ukrainians GDP in 2021 was around 200 billion.
The idea they can keep this going long term or even dream of taking on an EU or NATO alliance is a fantasy
Its why putin always points to his nukes.
although im sure when the economics of the situation are being enumerated that ppp makes things look a good bit different.
but overall yes, all the talk of tinpot russia ever taking on nato or an eu coalition is hype, they'd get battered. which again is why putin points to his nukes. like a little scobe pulling out a knife.
putin murdering multiple members of a family…..American politicians went on holiday, put their feet up and waited for instructions from their Orange Daddy
It begins???
Good read from Tony Connelly RTE
coincidental timing of this post.
"Ireland’s provision of such equipment has inevitably stirred up the debate on neutrality, a policy position on which a sharper spotlight will fall as the European Union seeks ways to deepen defence cooperation in the light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the risk that a second Trump presidency could leave Europe militarily exposed."
just around the same time: "Donald Trump wins caucuses in Missouri and Idaho and sweeps Michigan convention."

looks like the case for nato gets undermined again. do as king hairdo says or he'll give the russians his blessing. which is the best blessing in the world, naturally.
The problem is, as patently impoverished as it might be, the leadership of Russia would be far quicker and more willing to sacrifice its population than Europe ever would. Being a sociopathic autocracy means you can, militarily, call the bluff of a bloc whose raison d'etre is a peaceful, equitable collaboration of democratic nations. So Moscow can always push boundaries more than we should reasonably take. The equation would probably change were the tanks to start rolling into Estonia or Poland, but even then you'd watch a very slow buy in to an aggressive response. Violence as a first option is something we've consciously tried to move from.
All this does show, in my mind, that an EU Army was only ever a good idea, squandered by pearl clutching and squabbling. This is an exact scenario where a central military brain trust could have lead the vicarious defence here, able (you'd hope) to bypass malcontents and bad actors like Hungary. At some stage we're gonna have to grasp the nettle that the EU is wandering into a federal structure, by hook or by crook, and if we don't posses means to defend that new Republic it'll crumble once the next Putin comes along.
It has already crossed my mind that ISIS might sweep into southern Russia.
Hopefully, but given flareups like this have occurred before, I'd say probably not. The story seems to quickly dissipate shortly after reporting, which suggests to me that mini uprisings like this are brutally put down by the Rosgvardia or something.
long before ISIS came into being, Ethnic Russians were less than welcome in that part of Russia. God help you if you were an ethnic Russian seeking judgement against a local, even on a murder charge.
Yes every time there's a skirmish in some Russian province someone starts claiming the Russian Federation is falling apart. Two days later the story disappears
The wonder is there that this wasn't fsb pretending to be Isis to send a message to the Russian public that Fine you don't like us (putin gov/fsb) but see who'll take over if we're not in charge.
A few police killed would be nothing just like Putin's fsb blowing buildings up pretending to be Chechen separatists.
The public have to be kept scared for Putin to stay in power.
France has been busy
I suppose the only bad thing is even with those losses Russia are gaining ground and Ukraine are on a bit of a back foot at moment. That's why aid to Ukraine is essential at the moment. Artillery above anything else, they need to slow Russia down. Plus I also say it might be Ukrainian highest casualties at the moment as well. There having a tough time at villages west of adviika and their positions are not nearly as good as they should be. Even if you don't have as much artillery to shoot or even have any for some guns your letting Russia get closer and closer to positions and taking Ukrainians out which would not and should not of happened if they had artillery to keep Russia at bay. Here is hoping the republicans get their heads out of putin's arse and provide Ukraine with the 60 billion to do this.
You know, going by the signaling coming from the west of late (“scholzing”, Trumping etc.) in the face of a murderous lunatic who very blatantly couldn’t care less about ANY human lives but his own, I can actually see a grain of rationale there as to why he would think that the first course of action for the west would be the one pursued (or at least something similar enough to it).
WOW ..
MOVED TO ITS OWN THREAD HERE:
Ireland - now considered one of most vulnerable countries in the EU — boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'
Moving pictures and a fitting tribute to a brave man who certainly had his flaws but deserves eternal respect for standing up to Putin and fighting for a better Russia.
Most of the false flag operations run by Putin were aimed at the Russian people in the cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg etc, they don't work so well in the republics though, where the clan system is very powerful, and they don't trust the Kremlin one bit. And as I mentioned earlier, long before ISIS existed, you had friction between the locals and the Kremlin. But as you mentioned, about iSIS, it could well be that the Kremlin will blame ISIS rather than admit that the provinces are not happy with Putin or his war and are getting more active in the military sense. This would not be good news for Putin, in case it might spread, and that's his biggest and worst nightmare. Imagine the effect it would have on Ingush soldiers fighting and dying in Donbas, and hearing that Putin's FSB is killing their relatives back home?
