Current Affairs Ukraine

[FrenchDarrenBent]

the Ukraine claim is still going up by 1,000 a day.

At some point its going to be exposed for what it is - 20,000 dead after 20 days??? really?

7000+ they announced today.
Thats the entire Russian invasion force eliminated by fall then.

US sources seem to corroborate this (you have to scroll a bit to find the update

If anything this should underscore the victim perpetrator relationship.

Make Desertion Fast - Bet On It

Ukraine is offering amnesty plus five million rubles to anyone who deserts from the Russian army and agrees to go to a Ukrainian prison. That’s about $48,000, probably several years’ pay for a young Russian worker. On the surface, this sounds like a sweet deal, but on reflection, it’s anything...

Zero chance of 7,000 dead after 7 days - they’d be in full retreat if that was the case

Christ, India again... I know there's some goodwill towards the USSR within India, but for goodness sake.

Because the one man who really cares about human life is Vladimir Putin?

oh right, my bad, still tho, point stands.
I know you're intent on everyone seeing two sides to this
but I honestly think this war is very cut and dried here.
Thats why you're getting such hassle.
It's not some convoluted proxy war with layers upon layers of geopolitical levels.
One megalomaniac has unjustly invaded his neighbor in a dangerous power grab.
His initial ground forays were poorly planned and executed so he's acting out and using far more dangerous tactics.
Spending time besmirching the character of the victim is pretty gross in fairness.

Is the neighbour thing significant. Keep seeing that. Is it different when it's your neighbour when you invade?

Oof, that's not good company. I assume India and China abstained?

You tell us mate

 

[JammyP]

im not sure about that actually.

As far failing on the ground, then moving on to more dangerous tactics, I am not sure thats the case either

In fact artillery bombardment is and has been a cornerstone of Soviet/Russian war tactics for the last 80 years.

But are you sure about it the other way Kev? Balancing on top of the fence or down with the Putins?

 

[Zatara]

It’s a cool country.

How does it compare to Serbia + Montenegro (if youve been to them all) ?

Rumours Russia will introduce martial law in Russia on Friday.

@Kev The Rat just to confirm, you still think everything will be fine in Russia on Monday?

According to Russian Ministry of Defense, 498 dead Russian soldiers, 1597 wounded.

It kinda correspond with yesterday US/EU report about 2000 Russian casualties so far

the Ukraine claim is still going up by 1,000 a day.

At some point its going to be exposed for what it is - 20,000 dead after 20 days??? really?

Looking at the melted debris from armoured vehicles and the amount that may be classified as deceased that have surrendered I think its going to be closer to 10k than 498.

If the Russians report 498 then it must be far higher.

All wholesome regimes on their own right. Eritrea, ffs. Met a few refugees from there. Unsurprisingly they didn't sell it to me.
