I know, it was a rash thing to say I’m incredibly sad to see it’s being allowed to go on, those videos are heartbreaking.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
I couldn't say, but I'm skeptical. However maybe it's time to do that. I think most everyone analyzing this from the outside still thought Russia would grind out victory in a few years, until the most recent Ukrainian offensive. But obviously we don't have a clear idea of how dire the Russian equipment, logistics and manufacturing situation is.
How many fake parts can China provide and how long until they break? Is the Air Force about to be grounded for these reasons? It seems like they should run out of artillery pieces at some point based on the rounds fired and life of the weapons.
I've been encouraged by all that the US has provided. They will want to appear to respond to this day of terror, I think.
Time to send the super spies in to kill members of the leadership in a way that makes it look natural.
His choice of music is punishment enough. Why Putin? Why do you need to punish the innocent further?
Khodorkovsky says the reason we haven't heard much about Russian hackers since the war began is because they all left the country. Same with 30,000 IT specialists, resulting in, among other things, Russian YouTube "RuTube" crashing.
Even now he isn't talking about preparing an attack on Ukraine, but about preparing for an attack by Ukraine on Belarus. To me it looks like he keeps trying dragging it along while not actually entering Ukraine/ the war. I'm quite sure that he right now hopes for Putin to fall before he can be forced to enter the war
Being part of the shared Russian/Belarussian troops might be the safest place for a Russian mobilized soldier for some time, until somehow either this common troops enter Ukraine together or the Russian part of them on its own.
I bet his nickname at school was The Eel.
Oh, and Israel can do one as well.
Friend in Kyiv told me they just got alerts to take cover again.
Also, they’ve got no electricity today and internet is up and down.

Russian death toll for Bakhmut must be staggering - I swear they’ve been attacking the town for about a month non stop now.
What is this sick constraint that partners are putting on Ukraine by not allowing them to attack Russian military bases inside Russia? They can carpet bomb the civilians but got forbid Ukraine retaliates on military targets? Every constraint is seen as a sign of weakness and gives them confidence they’ll get away with it and sure they do.
Good, more scrap iron.
I dunno but there are no such constraints in reality. Reports of targets hit in Belogrod this morning
More on Russian generals.
Another wave of attack is coming apparently.
Not a moment too soon, hopefully it don’t take them too long to set up. Effective systems from what I gather, though not foolproof against saturation strikes like this.
Their own troops will be deployed to prevent their own troops from starting on the Ukranian troops? Is that what they are saying?
Lukashenko is talking about Ukraine planning an attack on Belarus. He says the common Belarussian/Russian troops will be deployed on the border to prevent that. He isn't planning an attack himself.
The Crimea bridge seems to the humiliation that broke the camels back for Russian forces. But they can launch all the missiles they want at civilian targets, and it's not going to make a major difference for the Ukranian troops on the ground wiping the floor with Russian conscripts.
If Ukrainian pilots have started training on F-16s at the beginning of the invasion, they would already have them in the theater as with everything west is reactive instead of being proactive, every minute the price goes up.
Another low point for the pathetic Russian armed forces. They are only capable of murdering civilians and todays strikes will only strenghten the will of the Ukrainian people to defend it's freedome.
Yes, I know he's talking about that, but honestly, that's the most unlikely scenario. I was taking the piss saying that the only troops likely to attack are his own.
He can't risk the west getting involved, which would likely happen if there was a Grozny style attack on a European capital.
On one of the Russian propaganda channels featured complaints that people weren’t being told that Ukraine are striking in Russia west of Belgorod, and the mayor of some town was the one to inform people.
No idea if it’s true, of course. Seems strange to claim they’re doing it if they aren’t, what if they go ahead and do it? You claimed it was already happening so why would there be a big response?

This makes no sense at all. It is like saying Russia should have given nuclear weapons to Iraq or Vietnam, or Cuba (they did for a few months). There are good reasons why countries do not give nuclear weapons to other countries and should remain so. 9 too many countries have nuclear weapons already.
to rest.
Belgorod they can reach with their own ammunition and weapons but when it comes to western supplied HIMARS/MLRS they had a chain around their neck until today at least and it was one of the main reasons they are yet to be provided with mid-to-long range systems like ATACMS.
No that’s not the way to go about it
