The world at large seems to think Ukraine can hold them off. This is not CR but during the Obama Administration, their CIA Director said that they were reluctant to arm Ukraine with sophisticated weaponry (Javelins) for fear the technology would fall into Russia’s hands. The world is just handing Ukraine now what they can without regard for this now to help them fight and to win. This gives me hope that Ukraine can hold those fuckers off and defeat them. Not a criticism of the decision back then. It’s a statement in what is happening right now. Short of NATO firing weapons and aircraft at them or creating a no fly zone they are doing the most they can. 
 

 

There was also a concern that sending weapons to Ukraine so soon after the revolution that it would be seen as a provocation.

    I volunteered today. Log/Admin role to replace people for 30-60 days. The operation is in the west, or should the Orcs win will be pulled back behind the NATO wall. Either way the humanitarian effort

Those Russian rockets have a very shitty detonation rate.  A whole bunch of them are just big lawn darts.

You'll put your eye out!

Damn, less than I thought they had taken. Consider they already had the separatist zones and Crimea. 

 

It's a good thing those Russian rockets have a very shitty detonation rate.  A whole bunch of them are just big lawn darts.

To be fair, as a drinking man’s summertime backyard activity, lawn darts were dangerous as fuck.

Hope Ukraine can get those pilots in the sky soon. Nighttime seems to be best as the enemy haven’t shown yet they can fight much at night. Early morning sure…

Giving Ukranians planes seems fine. When we get volunteers to fly jets in Ukraine, Russia probably won't take it so well.

Following Zelenskyy’s Twitter (the replies) it looks like a few thousand people are so are taking up the call to join his foreign fighters deal. Hopefully, they can hold off that convoy because it will become much harder to join that fight if not impossible for those trying to get in to fight.

We did that during world war 2.

I was wondering how we can help.  I think a good plan is finally coming together.  I love it when that happens.  

So close to Hannibal (A-Team) and yet so far.

Wonder if the Russian troops just ditched it so it wouldnt be used? Sorry Vlad, it was stuck🤷‍♂️

I heard a CNBC/Bloomberg//someone/biz reporter say "high-end electronics" specifically were showing a sales spike in ruskie-land immediately from the sanctions news, and did not give any other reasons. Remembered it because it was weird.

If your cash isn't worth anything any more, you might as well convert it to something of tangible value. High end electronics are probably a pretty good investment for the short term. 

Obviously those countries aren't giving those planes after all so maybe the whole thing is off, but basing combat planes in Poland is one hell of an escalation.

Most of those are the motors, not the war heads.  They're meant to just fall like that.

Well, Ukraine is going to be consistently disappointed. At the end of the day, it really will be them against Russia. They’re not going to be accepted into the EU or NATO. They’re not going to be able to use planes launched from bordering air bases. They’re not going to be able to set up bases in NATO countries from which to launch attacks. 
 

At the end of the day there really is a bit of the west using them as a body shield against Russia. If Russia wasn’t a nuclear power maybe other options would be on the table. But they are. 
 

The biggest lesson to me is, if you gain access to a large nuclear arsenal, for goodness sakes do not give it up for the sake of assurances of sovereignty. No assurance is ever going to be as strong as having those nukes.

It looked like it was still chugging along to me. The odd thing to me, unless this is being recorded from inside a Russian vehicle, is why a civilian was allowed next to a machine like that, and why it was way out there on its own like a stray puppy.

How could anyone really take a credible poll of the Russian people? And if you could, how would you account for people who have no outside information and only hear what the regime puts out?

The Levada Center does a pretty decent job of polling inside Russia.  There are some local variables you have to control for (e.g., respondents' suspicion that a pollster may be working for the security services), but it can be done.

As to people who have no outside information, their opinion needs to show up in a poll.  I mean, if 50% support the war, then it's worth knowing that 50% support the war, irrespective of their reasons for their support.

I think that may be the housing transport-vehicle part of the rocket that contained all the cluster-bomb bomblets.

Or, maybe it is a rocket-dud. Fuck Putin!

Yeah--that's the housing for the bomblets.  We've seen those all over Kharkiv, and it's pretty clear evidence that the Russians are using cluster munitions.

I completely understand it.    I'm a history major with a big interest in European history.   It's not just the last  80 years either.   Russia (and Prussians/Germans/the Austro-Hungarians) have fucked them over for several centuries.

May be a Twitter screenshot of 1 person and text that says 'Nick Palmisciano @Ranger_Up I'd like to take this moment to apologize to all the supply people| referred to as POGs in my twenties as I watch the Russians run out of food and gas in only 48 hours to a country adjacent to them.'

One of my closest friends grew up in Poland before the USSR crumbled. Very few things really get him fired up, but Russians in general and Russians getting killed in war fires him up to a level I would have never expected.

I don’t underestimate it. It goes back centuries to clashes with the Polish empire. The war in Ukraine after the fall of the Tzar was between Polish backed Ukrainians seeking independence and the Russian backed Bolsheviks. Then there’s the Katyn massacre. The Soviet occupation and subjugation under the Iron Curtain. 
 

Then there’s the Smolensk air disaster, which many Poles believe was orchestrated by Russia. These are just highlights. A metric shit ton of grievances regarding Russia on the Polish side. 
 

Which still doesn’t mean the Ukrainians are going to be allowed to operate fighter jets out of Poland. That’s not going to happen.

Yeah, it’s past time we take these seriously.  For fun they should do a ‘would rather feed your baby to wolves or vote for Biden’ poll.

Lawn darts are probably more dangerous.
