Thanks for sharing your opinion. My point still stands. Your ask is virtually impossible and would require a very different world than the one we live in. But hey, maybe if you send this paragraph to 500 companies in the EU and US they will carefully consider your expertise when next making their decisions over the next 50 years.

I would have said probably not, but the fact there’s Americans and other nationalities in the mercenaries means it’s probably a lot easier to hide special ops forces from the relevant country armies.
quite interesting to see that
It'd be great to see a Ukrainian special ops team - whichever nationalities are actually in it - sneak over the border and destroy a couple of dozen parked warplanes on some unsuspecting Russian or Byelorussian airbase where the dozy guards think all the action is happening inside Ukraine.
Russian social media ‘hacked by western intelligence agency:

Their motto is “I come at you”, so it would track.
Ukraine has their own special operations forces, and they’re pretty damn good too. The first non-NATO nation to have its SOF certified to be part of NATO’s Rapid Response Force.
I think his point is that we may already have to contemplate the Cold War 2.0 for as long as the likes of Xi and Putin want to feck the current world order up. The next cold war may well be all about autocracy vs. democracy instead of capitalism vs. communism.
For whatever it's worth, Western companies will have to move production to India (a democratic nation with 1.38 billion people) and other nearby Asian democracies soon.

Let’s fecking go
This makes me so happy. Those Russian BTG’s can’t do shit without ammo, fuel, and food.

Soldiers in Kharkiv take on the Russian army - BBC News
Nightwatch spotted again this time around the English channel, mirroring potus movements. Nobody taking any chances, as it should be.
The bodies of Russian soldiers are piling up in Ukraine, as Kremlin conceals true toll of war:

The battle of Irpin: Meeting the Ukrainian resistance
Salt the snail!
I actually thought that was clearly a joke. I didn't realise that it ïs often quoted and there is actual confusion over its authencity!
At some point, NATO will have to hire a number of crazy pilots so they can airdrop those supplies into Mariupol just like it used to be done during the Siege of Khe Sanh or the Berlin Airlift (on top of my head). Sometimes the old ways are the best and only ways.
And we can add deliberate and severe starvation on the list of punishments worth dishing at Putin prior to hanging, castrating, flaying, drawing, quartering and incinerating.

Antytila are quite a popular band in Ukraine. Thanks for sharing that tweet.
Or maybe we should use this as an opportunity to move away from our current system of using poor people thousands of miles away to produce things for us.
Not The Onion…
Just wait until he hears about buses.
When even the artists are making molotov cocktails in their workshops, you know the war is going to be impossible to win for Russia. Even if they managed to occupy the country or get a favorable peace deal, they're going to have a country of 45 million that detests them with all their combined soul.
Are they including the sunken tanks?
The one plank across it deserves a chef's kiss.
Ukrainian Red Cross looks to distance itself from its international body:
Getting closer to dumping Russian oil & gas entirely. Both US and Europe are lucky this crisis didn't hit them with Trump in the WH...
It’s possible with brutality and forced reallocation of people to Russia and replacing them with their own.
I pity the feckers who get relocated to Mariupol. Hope they brought bottled water and tinned food.
Yes and me too.
The old saying that an Army marches on its stomach is even more true now than ever.
And the vastly underrated process of Logistics is absolutely critical to any military activity.
Right piece of kit.
Right place.
Right time.
And a tin opener...
While it seems unrealistic to us, this is exactly what gonna happen, they’ll simply move in poor Russians to the flats that were left behind by locals, these will be offered for free, so you’ll get many takers for sure given the devastating economic situation in Russia. The local authorities will be comprised exclusively from loyalists while the remaining sane will gradually flee to other parts of Ukraine in the light of the ongoing ethnical cleansing.
