Russia's War Against Ukraine

[Windigo]

Somewhere there is a twitter video with a single Ukrainian IFV with a squad riding topside charging a prepared Russian position.... and the bastards made it down the dirt road, unloaded safely and put flight to the poor damn demoralized Ruskies.

And they're not even made out of real Dragon dental material at all.  :o  Probably somebody's Brother-In-Law got the contract.

That's probably just a sunroof.

From the thread: 'those are septic tanks with holes to shoot' ...probably spot on hahaha

Re return the racoon: better negotiate that to replacing the coon -- that thing is 15 pounds of jerky and an awesome Russian winter cap by now.

And maybe a fleece, being dipped in a river to catch gold dust, considering the area.

Good discussion on the role and effectiveness of aviation in the war.

Anyone here read either Haaretz or The Times of Israel?

There is an article on Haaretz about Zelensky voting at the UN last month to bring Israel to the international court for it's "illegal occupation" of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) while at the same time he criticizes Israel for not supplying weapons to help UKR fight Putin.  Not taking into consideration Israel's delicate relationship with Russia and it's activities in Syria. 

Other UN members voting to bring Israel to court include Iran and Russia. 

Why am I posting this here?  Although what Russia is doing to Ukraine is an outrage not everyone is innocent in this mess.  We live in a hypocritical world.  You won't hear this on mainstream media.

While certainly noteworthy, I do not see how this post has any place in this thread, as it has absolutely nothing to do with the strategic situation or operational and/or tactical realities of the combat in the war. Please resist the urge to post distractions like this. We know, as in all things in life, that there is no black and white.

^Roger that.  I apologize, you know me though.  I can't resist sometimes.  Just wish there was somewhere safe to share this kind of stuff.

After the retaking of Kherson, is Melitopol next? And a possible Ukrainian siege of Crimea?

Keep pushing as long as there's mush!  :bd:

Two dead after Russian missiles land in NATO state Poland on Ukraine border


Much speculation but for now it looks like the exact causes and circumstances of the incident are still being investigated while the area was secured.
