Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Shadowferal]

Ukraine and its innovation regarding defense and weaponry is a bit ahead of everyone with the possible exception of China.

Nothing motivates the mind to come up with creative solutions like moderately fast approaching death. (to fast and you panic and die, to slow and it can be ignored)

its not for nothing that war has been the greatest drive to innovation.

One of the most fascinating (and gruesome) things I've ever watched was a piece on the history of the development of landmines.

Speaking of landmines, after Lithuania pulled out of the cluster munitions treaty and other nations look like following, now the Baltics, Poland and Finland look like pulling out of the landmine treaty.

Well, since the US, Russia, and China typically never join those treaties, I guess it makes sense.

Note tho.

US and Russian/Chinese landmine doctrines aren't exactly the same. I mean it might become the same under someone like Trump but at least what's on the books now is different.

US landmine doctrine is that landmines are laid for specific tactical reasons in limited numbers and clearly recording their location for later removal when said tactical use case is no longer relevant.

The Russian, and probably Chinese, doctrine derived from the Soviet doctrine is that "When in doubt, landmine, when certain landmine, when empty land you landmine, when urban area you drop mines that children would pick up. Where you drop it, who clears it, that's a problem for someone else.

Figured this thread would still be strong on cope and denial. Hopefully more people in actual positions of power will be willing to listen to reality and save as many UKR lives as possible rather than throwing them into more pointless Kursk meatgrinders.

The fact that Dems are so hell bent on being the party of war is genuinely insane, enabling genocide in Gaza and now protracting a lost proxy war instead of getting the best deal possible. It's like campaigning with Cheney wasn't an actual mistake. Unreal.

This is also a great piece of war reporting if you want to understand the horror of modern warfare and why it needs to end as soon as possible.

Welcome news about the rocket. Like I said in the past, all Ukraine needs is a little more time so they can end this war on their own terms - with hundreds of long range missiles aimed at Moscow.

Absolute insanity, this has become a death cult among liberals, I cannot comprehend it.

It puzzles me how so many posters on this one little forum can be so full of shit.

UK is at a sad state rn, this place used to have a protagonist role but Starmer looks out of place, as if he lived in another planet. Putin has made it clear numerous times that he won't accept a coalition of european peacekeeping forces and he is even trying to dodge the ceasefire. It can't get more clear that Putin will continue this war no matter the cost. There are 3 countries that the Russians will never give up those are Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The Europeans can either go to war with Putin or just stay on the side and send whatever aid they can that won't save anyone. Making useless announcement doesn't help anyone.

Oh neato. I was just talking about posters like you the other day. You are quite enlightened and obviously have a very wise and insightful opinion on me. I take it you went back to read many of the last few hundred posts so you could have a good grasp of the current conversation.

Anyways, headline todays.

Russia launches 90 drones on Ukraine overnight: 47 shot down, 33 go off radar

And Zelenskys requests for the peace deal, I was almost right the other day, but I forgot a point. He wants the children that russia has kidnapped returned.
That monster!

What the fuck does this even mean? Protagonist role? You know this isn't a book, right?

When Republicans are actively pushing to be involved in that genocide?

Yeah, you're not a good faith poster. This is bait and propaganda. And your handlers are particularly terrible at their jobs.

What did Russia lose today? I can't even browse shit like 9gag without spending 30 mins to go through the russian bot propaganda today. Not just there, but in this thread too some trolls are unbanned and some others activated.

What, were all the English teachers in Russia sent to the front line?

Bigly hits on major oil refineries, this time directly affecting fuel supplies for Moscow itself.

You don't actually care about Ukraine though or do you have some amazing idea that will help Ukraine when Russia breaks any ceasefire that is imposed on Ukraine as they set up for another war 3-day Special Military Operation?

Lemme just quote myself and then laugh at this stupidity.

Did someone say genocide?
US and Israel are in contact with Sudan and Somalia to relocate the Gazans

You know what that describes? That's right: Genocide
