    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

 Pretty sure I saw Wheeler's bus on a RU train flatbed. Probably won't arrive at Kyiv either.

New Ukrainian weapon in the War on Vlad

Unpopular take ahead:

Not that I am siding with Russia on this, but won't it be difficult for the Ukes, or anyone, to prove "War Crimes" related to destroying residential building? Obviously anything pertaining to illegal weapons and targeting obvious civilians is a different story.

The main Ukrainian government twitter and social media are continually reporting on how their civilian citizenry is taking up arms against the Russians. If a Russian soldier pulls onto a street and there is gunfire coming from every widow of every apartment building and they fire back or call in some heavy gunfire to that location, that doesn't seem to be committing any War Crimes as much as just fighting a war.

Seems Russia should just bring back the Cossacks. That armor really gets in the way when you don’t have fuel and it’s muddy.

Rule three:

Quote

Members of the armed forces and security forces of a country in conflict, members of militias, voluntary corps and resistance groups in a country in conflict, civilians who spontaneously take up arms during mass uprising are generally considered to be combatants.


*still you can’t mow down civilians to get the combatants. Just as our military who served hunting Isis about that. 
There will be an investigation to find out what happens and gather physical proof to bring in Internatiol Court against Russian leaders.

You make a great point.  You know how Russian soldiers can avoid having war crimes committed on them?

Just put your weapons down and fuck off back to Russia.  Not likely the Ukrainian civilian war criminals will chase you all the way back to your house.

Most of these buildings are being hit with MRLS or even cruise missiles from miles away and there are no Russian soldiers anywhere near the buildings.  We’ve barely seen any house to house or urban combat. These are war crimes.

And The Hague rarely goes after soldiers, instead they want the leadership.

There's video of their soldiers committing war crimes. There's probably written orders or intercepted electronic orders carried by RU soldiers into the field. There's russian clusterbombs. There's verified attacks on journalists. There's russian missiles, whose trajectory can be traced, in demolished UKR civilian buildings...

Me neither. But certain Russian provinces that would prefer to be independent from Moscow declaring independence after seeing the vulnerability of the Russian military is on mine. Hopefully more velvet revolutions or whatever they'll be called are on the way.

Which is precisely why I add the caveat that I was only talking about the attacks on civilian buildings.

Be a major power move or at least put them more on the world stage to threaten. With all the weak ads shit coming from China. And fuck the Chinese government. They can get bent over and have a Molotov cocktail shoved up their ass.

They aren’t fighting like we did in Fallujah or anywhere.  They pull up at any bit of resistance, park, and indiscriminately bombard. Russians are not going house to house and calling in for support. 

Anyone seeing indications from any outlets about more Russian troops heading to Ukraine?  Reconcile this with the statements that the vast majority are already committed - are they all out of quarters?

I don’t know anyone who thinks the Ukrainians are winning or that the situation is anything but dire, long term. Lots of us think that the Russians aren’t on schedule, are taking more hits than they thought they would, and that’s about as much as Ukraine can hope for. 
 

Also, this planning had leaked before the war even started.

Failing to plan for alternate scenarios/contingencies is what got Russia in the pickle it's in.  Repeating that mistake would be galactically stupid.

Also, y'all notice how GRUhorn is always there to sow doubts, to bolster the Russian line?  I do.  Pay attention.  It's important to see and acknowledge what you're seeing.

I try to cut through to what’s actually happening. Through all the rah rah bs. The other link I shared today was a nuts and bolts intelligence assessment  that included how Ukraine could better defend power plants etc. You see what you want to see Brisket. 
 

The fact that that story is in WaPo states way more about the state of affairs in Ukraine than all the battlefield tweets of questionable veracity.

Chechens
the Belarus ones that didn't disobey orders
Kazahks (under the table?)
Syrians (paid $200-300 total for 6 months of it, if that's to be believed)
Plus I read somewhere they did a new round of conscripts in ruskie-land.

That tweet is dumb as fuck. I know the guy is a think tanker and covered the GWOT but it’s really dumb as fuck. That story was out there before the war. We know that we offered to get Zelenskyy out well into the war.  No one had ever suggested in their wildest estimates that Ukraine can hold out forever. 
 

In short, typical Russian style attack on a scarecrow.

I see what's right in front of me.  I take it all with a grain of salt.  I damned well know that Russian military action is inflicting real losses on an outgunned Ukraine.

But regarding what you are.....I've seen it for a long time.  With respect to you, with respect to Brexit, with respect to Russian dezinformatsiya regarding American politics, vaccines, etc.

You are aligned with the  dezinformatsiya on EVERY.  SINGLE.  ISSUE.  

I've been around too long to believe in coincidences.

Russia has already lost. It’s just a matter of how much deeper they want to dig the hole.

Already their demands have been significantly reduced. They’re sending WWI armored trains to try to resupply their demoralized, unmotivated, and hopelessly lost invasion force. They just need to give up.

Ouch, as somebody who LOVES games, this would hurt:

Take-Two and Ubisoft suspend sales in Russia over Ukrainian invasion
By Andy Chalk published about 1 hour ago

The publishers join Electronic Arts, Activision-Blizzard, CD Projekt, and others in speaking out against Russian aggression.

Take-Two Interactive and Ubisoft have announced that they are halting sales of their games and services in Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine.

"We have watched recent events unfold in Ukraine with concern and sadness," Take-Two Interactive vice president of corporate communications Alan Lewis said in an email sent to PC Gamer. "After significant consideration, last week, we decided to stop new sales, installations, and marketing support across all our labels in Russia and Belarus at this time."

Ubisoft confirmed its policy change in a one-line update to last week's blog post on the state of Ukraine and its employees in the country: "In light of the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine, we have decided to suspend our sales in Russia."

The publishers are the latest game companies to suspend business in Russia because of the invasion, following CD Projekt, Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, and Epic Games. Microsoft has also stopped "all new sales" of its products and services in the country, as well as "many aspects of our business in Russia in compliance with governmental sanctions decisions."

Non-gaming companies including Airbnb, Spotify, Volkswagen, Oracle, Netflix, Nike, Boeing, Netflix, PayPal, and many others have also stopped sales or manufacturing in Russia, while international economic sanctions have cratered the value of the country's currency, inflicting significant pressure on Russia's leaders but also causing hardships for much of its population.

I mean if the Ukrainians beat the shit out of them so bad and then invade Russia because of the same claims they made of Ukraine and then Russians actually laid down and let them capture that would be so chefs kiss. Would be nice to have Ukrainian government running Russia.

I'm actually getting a little hopeful -- albeit just a glimmer -- that we're closer to a resolution than we think. Word is that Putin is still talking to Macron, there's been a third round of talks with the Ukrainians, and Israel went to Moscow.

I think those are positive signs amid this shit sandwich.

I think they mean almost 100% of the resources that were on the border when the shootin started.  

the "more troops" is bringing in the the reserves who weren't deployed yet, IMO
