Pretty sure that actually was Rasputin’s old avatar back when he was TVA.

Didn't Finland already beat living sh*t out of Russia during or after WW2?

Before WWII they most certainly did
There is a long history between Finland and Russia. Finland was actually ruled by Russia during Tsarist times.

Article I read didn’t mention this, but does this telegram group speak for the Russian government officially? I don’t know, either way the attack was not right IMO.

You actually think Ukraine is schooling Russia don’t you? Lol.

Without a doubt.

 

[luthervol]

These weapons we are sending them , does anyone know if we are just sending them or “ assault weapons “ or are they asking for the regular ones ? The last thing they need right now is to get confused on what kind we send them.

lol.......Things that the average citizen would not and should not have.

Probably just a total coincidence, but you can "buy a wife" from all of those countries.

There is a video on YouTube about the Samaritans. Yes the Samaritans still exist. They have tried over the years to not marry outside their religion and ethnic group. However they had like a 3 to almost 1 male to female ratio in recent years. Some of the men have ended up marrying women outside their group, mainly from the Ukraine, in order to keep their population growing.

Our Speaker of the House is drunk in a lot of her statements as well FWIW

Mariupol has been in Russian hands for a week or so now. There is a group of Azov pinned down in a large steel factory with underground bunkers, but other than that isolated area they have that city.

War isnt like sports at all. History is full of surrenders. Russia did what they thought was necessary for their own protection from an increasingly militant neighbor. It shouldnt have come to this but it seems this is the outcome all parties involved wanted. The US and NATO sure as hell werent trying to push for peace.

An increasingly militant neighbor that needs military handouts from other nations just to survive, sounds legit

I didn’t understand a word she said and still find her more credible that Psaki.

Democrats love Ukraine like they do Venezuela and Cuba. Now you see why. The middle class is basically non-existent in these countries. There are high levels of corruption and much of the money stays in the hands of the elites.

Hard to believe I'm first to say I'd hit it and tell it to fetch me some beef stew afterwards.
Misaligned perspectives here, gents.

Irrelevant in Russia’s invasion killing innocent people, it is up to the people of Ukraine to fix their political issues not another nation that is full of said corruption.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Damn that Azov Battalion amirite @volgr ?

BTW the current count is 50 dead with 5 children amongst the dead.

Ukraine says 39 killed in rocket strike on rail evacuation hub

Yes. Both Russia and the U.S. are full of corruption and should stay out of Ukraine's affairs. Glad you cleared that up for us.

So pretty similar to Russia.

Pretty dang accurate

Purty big list here. FYI.

TLDR = Visual confirmation that Ukraine is kicking Russia's ass.



Attack On Europe: Documenting Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

Oryx Thursday, February 24, 2022 Bayraktar TB2 , DNR 107 Comments

By Stijn Mitzer in collaboration with Joost Oliemans Kemal, Dan and Jakub Janovsky

A detailed list of destroyed and captured vehicles and equipment of both sides can be seen below. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, munitions, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment (including aircraft) are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991.

It's literally the object of the bulk of my posts. Putin's autocracy is not antidote for our slow-boil autocracy.

Take Putin/Russia out of the mix. Meddling in Ukraine and provoking war with Russia does little to slow-boil our advance toward ruin (you say autocracy, I see it as more fascistic).

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

I have no idea if this is real or not, but I'm convinced Russia as a country is snozzed by noon.

Meanwhile.

 

[volgr]

You should know that every time you trot out the Azov battalion, everyone rolls their eyes.

Aside from the fact that the lore you and the Russian people have ginned up to justify murdering people is laughable, it's even more pathetic that the entirety of the Russian army can't seem to extinguish a "battalion" just a few miles from the Russian border.

Do yourself a favor and stop reminding us how weak and pathetic Russia's military is.

I dont justify murdering people, that is you and your side. While the de-Nazification of Ukraine is fun to use against you dolts because you are now tied to supporting Nazi's through your support of this corrupt regime in Ukraine, it isnt why I say Russia was justified to go into Ukraine. Russia is more than justified to go in based on self defense alone.
