What family? Lol The sicko has 2 maybe 3 daughters that apparently he never speaks to anyway and an ex wife he doesn’t speak to.

Or what Randolph NH looks like after another modeled snowstorm goes poof.

As Scooter says, go aliens: Humans will always be the biggest threat to our planet. So sad.

Bad news out of Kharkiv. Their town square was shelled with several Civilian casualties.

You fit right in then.

Oh yea, it is not a zero chance scenario. Only if they have a death wish for themselves and Moscow though.

If the oligarchs keep losing billions…

No. It’s why we refuse to do a no fly zone or put troops on the ground there. We’re trying to de-escalate as much as we can even though Putin claims we are the aggressors lol.

Yea, definitely. I haven’t seen any expert mention this so I’m speculating from afar. It just smells fishy they’d have soldiers not knowing their mission and not understanding why they were there, tanks breaking down, etc. it makes sense though strategically to not send the best in round 1 to see if you can cheaply win this.

It’s all a mind game with KGB types. You can’t trust anything they say or do. I doubt Putin thought the worldwide solidarity with Ukraine would be to this extent though.

I have a strong suspicion the first leg of the invasion was with the weakest soldiers and oldest equipment, on purpose, as a dry run. Minimal costs and if they got lucky, great. It also gave Ukraine and the world false hope and made it look like the Kremlin is struggling, which is the type of misinformation they love to exhibit. Look weak in poker when you have the nuts…

I think so. That’s the type of mission they are likely to carry out. While the militaries are preoccupied with each other, these guys sneak around and pull Putin’s strings. As much as they say Putin is unhinging, he’s also KGB. Smart, tactical, and thinks several steps ahead of his foes.

Sources are indicating the Russian Wagner group could be involved (makes sense). Those that don’t know, they are a private Russian military group (basically hitmen with military backgrounds) that have taken part in previous conflicts/wars. They’re mostly of Russian decent but they have some Ukrainian members, which increases the likelihood the militia will know their way around Ukraine as well as posing as pro-Ukrainians only to extract info on resistance whereabouts. They’re savages…they rape, torture, and kill and have been known to be the covert operators behind several high profile coups and assassinations.

Severodonetsk:

New update: Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki warned that Russia may attempt an attack from Belarus down the inside of Ukraine's western border to block the country off with Poland, saying "we must act quickly" to deliver humanitarian aid.

Yea, it’s a super delicate situation if nato or usa puts troops on the ground in ukraine or issues a no fly zone with our aicrafts. That would set off a global war against an unhinged russian regime with north korea and china lurking to the east. Nobody wants that so the folks asking for usa and nato to add military personnel in ukraine are short sighted.

We’re temper tantrum toddlers.

Good. Especially if the intelligence is true that Belarus is joining the Russians.

This is boss:

Would you consider it to be dirty warfare?

@PowderBeard, a good piece on cluster munitions being used by the Russians: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2022/02/27/ukraine-conflict-tracking-use-of-cluster-munitions-in-civilian-areas/

I think he said for CNE and NNE.

Yup. You’ll catch some events there though, kitchen sink type stuff, but all it does is delay the inevitable while causing most of us to drink or chew ourselves into a coma before we leaf out.

Yea. Any actual numbers like that table suggests is suspect. The more important aspect of this invasion right now is the ground truth of southern towns with damaged civilian infrastructures and confirmed civilian casualties…which the Kremlin once again has lied about.
