Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion


I'm surprised to see this. Artillery hits on a supply/command post shouldn't really be possible, as those shouldn't be too close to the frontline to prevent exactly that. So what's going on here? Russians retreating, being stupid or too optimistic when setting it up?

This kinda goes along with the fact that 4 Russian major generals have been killed by Ukraine now. Russian logistics & communications have been struggling during this invasion. That’ll push what should be rear areas & personnel farther forward towards the front.
 
U.S intelligence now conservatively estimates 7,000+ Russian troop deaths. The general rule is to assume 3 times as many wounded or out of action for other reasons (captured etc), which would make a minimum total of 28,000 now out of action .... or 15% of the invasion force, if that numbered 190,000 troops.

Pentagon officials say a 10% casualty rate, including dead and wounded, for a single unit renders it unable to carry out combat-related tasks .
 
Watch them break off peace talks and say they won't restart till biden apologises

Putin can go suck democracy's cock for all we care.

That bald cnut and his minions have done about the same kind of stuff that other Milosevic allowed to fester under his rule in the Balkans.
 


The music is a huge improvement over the weird electronic stuff that's been used as background for most of these videos. Ukraine should just use AC/DC on all of them, and everyone would know they were winning.



It may be compression artifacts, but there are a few things that look like tracer bullets being shot at the drone. It's incredible how drones, even off-the-shelf DJI drones or others have revolutionized asymmetric warfare. I'm surprised the Russians haven't used their electronic warfare capabilities more effectively. Many American experts rate their EW capabilities higher than the US when it comes to radars, jamming, etc. but it's completely MIA in this fight.
 
If shipments of arms are being 'slated' or 'considered' then most likely Ukrainian bases have their hands on them already. It's a way of taunting the opposition by telling them indirectly that the weapons have already safely arrived at their destination under their noses.

As others have said, there's no real need for them to release the information because the shipments could be intercepted en-route.

It's just a diversion technique and the Russians will realize that to, but the prospect of Switchblades being introduced increases the fear factor.

would pay to see Klitschko in the same room as Putin.

His brother had his chance a while back

I would assume that most, if not all of it, was already there or very close to it. Publicly supporting Ukraine is good for Ukrainian morale since it demonstrates that the world thinks they can win. It also , as you said, negatively impacts the Russians. You see all makeshift the bird cages on tanks meant to stop Javelins and NLAWs so obviously there is already fear of more advanced weaponry.

Hearing the buzz of a drone and not knowing if it's a DJI or Switchblade though would be disconcerting.
 
At least in the US, Netflix added Servant of the People (Zelensky's show) with subtitles.
 
In case there was any doubt this guy's greatest fear is being overthrown from within.......

Blimey… that’s pretty full on isn’t it?

Bitching about ‘Gender freedoms’ while waging a war is something else.

It’s like he’s become the crazy embodiment of all toxic Boomer traits. Like a mad Dad that’s somehow ended up controlling a super-power.

Surely the World needs to move on from this nonsense, it’s insane.
 
@spectatorindex: BREAKING: Panama's government says three Panama-flagged ships have been hit by Russian missiles in the Black Sea since the start of the war, with one of them sunk.
Seizing Putin and his allies Panamanian bank accounts would be the best response. That would truly send shock waves through the kremlin and Russia elite.
 
This asshole woulda spoken out against aid to Britain in 1940.



This i dont get. What the feck is their game here?

Now i get that these arseholes would love nothing more than to have Trump as an autoritarian leader and they have been leaning heavily towards authoritarianism for years now, but does really supporting Putin resonate among their supporters?

If its just some half baked scheme to try and undermine Biden its pretty foolish. "We support the genocide of the Ukranian people". Like what the feck kind of stance is that? How are you going to spin that?
 
Think you are talking about some assassins, not combat snipers.

A lot of the time that's what they do. Stay hidden for days watching somebody and shitting in a plastic bag. It's not often they're doing the American Sniper thing.
 
You know she’d be an Aunt in Gillead!

I'm pretty sure that those books were based on the conservative evangelical movement in the US. Mike Pence totally fits the bill. MTG is more of an opportunist grifter, not a true believer like Pence, but probably more dangerous nonetheless.

The people she's speaking to will be on board with anything that's against Biden really
