Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Afrospinach]

NATO being in essence at war with Russia.

My 2c

This is how they are going to sell any "success shortfall" of the special operation in Ukraine.

Russia took on the whole world and remain undefeated.

Russians trying to put their machine spirits in the Armour is the only explanation for how badly their vehicles are being turned into slag.

The Ukranian atgm team just blastin them

Ruskies going to run out of tanks to blast at this rate. Ukrainian army is doing such a fantastic job!

Just when you think the Russkies can't get any crazier you get ex-FSB officer Strelkov (who was involved in getting the whole separatist movement going in Ukraine) going batshit crazy over the Moldovian separatists. He claims that there is a Ukrainian-Romanian plot to clear the separatist region. its pretty insane really.

Crack is whack.

Remember a while back an intercepted phone call where the wife of a Russian soldier gives her blessing for him to rape Ukrainians? Well, according to Russian sources he has been captured. Shame we can't cut off his balls and mail them to her.

Well, if that's true...that would be fucking hilarious.

The Ukrainians could parade him with the recordings on TV for months.

Have him explain himself to the press.

The propaganda value would be... Off the charts.

Wouldn't that be against the Geneva convention?

Wouldn't that be against the Geneva convention?

I think it's quite clear that a lot of stuff happened the last 2 months against the Geneva convention

True, true.

But shouldn't the Ukrainians at least try to be better? I mean I totally get the propaganda value, but it has the potential to backfire, does it not?

[Kaleredar]

True, true.

They're not actually doing that to this soldier. Would just be an example of rather fair play.

I don't know to what extent would the Geneva Convention protect you from prosecution and public shaming if you're a self confessed rapist.

Well to be fair, Russian troops should be kicked out of that region when they've done beating down the Russians in Ukraine. Then they can kindly deport the Russian supporters in the region to Russia aswell.

Means after some prison sentence he gets to return to Russia to the warcrime encouraging wife of his. I don't like that outcome in the slightest.

Per The Guardian:

Russia and Belarus will hold joint drills of their air forces and air defence forces in Belarus, Minsk’s defence ministry said in a statement this morning. Reuters reports the drills will take place from 26-29 April. The build-up to the invasion of Ukraine saw masses of Russian troops moved into Belarus under the pretext of joint military exercises.

Per The Guardian:

Right, but you can't really invade with just air forces and Gutteres is due in Moscow so while vigilance will pay off I think this is just intimidation. But then this is Russia we're talking about so I can totally see them trying something stupid. The Belarussians seem to be quite happy sitting this one out though, which I understand given that Lukashenko might not stay in power if they join the fight.

Recent pictures of Putin in a meeting, where he grabs the table with hand, fidget with his foot, sit all the way back in his seat make me believe Putin is not well.
This is a master of image, we have picture of Putin bare chest riding horse, or playing hockey on ice, or even fighting judokas. Those are obviously photo op, they create an image of a strong Putin, healthy, a force of nature.
This interview is a PR mishap, the man on the right is seating on the edge of his seat, arms and hand on table, arching forward, this is a dominant position.

Russia going 2 for 2 for botched fakes today. First the farcical nazis planning an assassinating a tv presenter fake and now the false flag attempt in the separatist region of Moldava. The RPG used in the attack on the separatist building? It is a Russia weapon only used by Russia, the separatists, Gabon and Jordan. Somehow I don't think those last two were involved...

Given the amount of shit abandoned or captured by the Ukraine at least one RPG of that make and model should have been captured. Any weapon "only used by Russia" is almost synonymous with "Ukraine has at least 2" at this point.

[Iphie]

Yes, but then they'd still need to get it to Transnistria and there's no reason for Ukraine to go stir up shit there. Russia on the other hand has PLENTY of reasons.

I mean we can? Its not like anyone respectable will investigate "war crimes" against orcs anyway.

Hell you could do woodchipper thing, record it, and nobody would move a finger.

Two radio towers in the rebel part of Moldova used to broadcast Russian propoganda have been blown up. I'm just surprised no dead Germans in Polish uniforms were found there...
