War in Ukraine

[Hunerwadel]

Does Sweden and/or Finland have active economic sanctions against Turkey? If so, while I think Erdogan is a douche bag and ultimately has his price here and will cave, he’s kinda got a point.

This wouldn't be the first conflict within NATO. With 30 member nations it's inevitable that some disagreements will arise. IMO this will be resolved. Erdogan has had somewhat of a burr up his azz about the US and NATO since he took office. He is heavily reliant on Russia for energy but I don't believe he is in love with them and certainly doesn't trust them.

M777s, or Triple Axes as the Ukrainians have been calling them, have been ruthless recently.

Not really if there are active sanctions against Turkey by NATO members and applicants. Smart move honestly.

Yeah, I don't see how Turkey would be good aligning militarily with countries that have active arms embargos/sanctions on it.

Hell I wouldn’t if I were Erdogan. If anything I think this shows just what a lousy fit Turkey was for NATO but too late now! I’m guessing he will get whatever he wants RE those sanctions.

Estonia’s Tough Voice on Ukraine Urges No Compromise With Putin

How long do you think, Lukashenko has to brush his teeth each morning, to get the flavor of Putin's balls out of his mouth?

This is based on the faulty assumption that the balls are at some point not in his mouth.

Pootang just made enemies of the Prime ministers of Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. As someone who lives in a house of all women, I can tell you he's in trouble.

edit: add the foreign minister of canada who just piled on.

That's not going to buff out.

The literally put the mine immediately next to the one that destroyed your buddy. And your thought is "Hey, maybe if I just gun it and go fast, nothing will happen this time"?

Hearing the azovstal holdouts are surrending. Mariupol officially falls. 80 days to take a town smaller than Knoxville.

I don't think yelling YOLO is as funny as they think it is when charging full speed past a smoldering hunk of metal that used to have your comrades.

Apparently about six busses were loaded up and left. Russia said the wounded would go to a hospital. No indication if the combatants are POWs now or not

Ask the Russians in this dugout how accurate the 777 howitzers are.

How are they so accurate? Are they guided?

 

[Paper_Towel]

 

[TVOLS]

It’s possible GPS guided, but Pentagon only says how much ammunition not what type.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Cue Larry, Moe, and Curly coming in here woofing about the steel plant “victory” after 80+ days of fighting during which the Keystone Cops couldn’t secure a combat decisive victory in 3… 2… 1…
