Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[Wolfhound]

Yeah I'm on Ukraine's side and all but there is some absolutely ridiculous propaganda crap being put out there.

The Russian forces seem to be producing exactly zero content. I guess Putin doesn't let them have phones.

The poor souls are mostly 20 year old draftees. They probably can’t afford cell phones. If they did have them they would likely be complaining about lack of food and sleep. Those were my main complaints as a 19 year old infantryman. And I was dumb enough to volunteer.

The propaganda is getting more ridiculous

Fake or not, the idea that it has even a chance of being true makes me very happy.

Those Russian cosmonauts need to be sent back to Earth and given a rifle to help fight Putins wars anyway. Who has time for space when there are conquests right here at home. The only good news is every trashed piece of equipment and every dead Russian soldier is one less that NATO may have to fight later…

Ukraine's military says it shot down a large Russian plane with paratroopers south of Kyiv...

Russia vetoes UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia's attack on Ukraine, China abstains

Putin has turned what could have been a quick land grab into a major offensive on the capital of a sovereign nation, for no real gain.

Hearing rumors that he has threatened Finland and Sweden.

Something has gone way off the rails. Even China is seeming to lose patience with him.

Heavy fighting in Kiev all night long! The Russians tried to take over a power plant and a military base and in both cases were pushed back by the Ukrainians.

This offensive is suicidal.

This offensive is suicidal.

One can only hope that Putin has access to a Walther PPK or its Makarov clone, so that he can check out in the same way that Adolf did when the time is right.

Some friends recognized it.

This offensive is suicidal.

Its bad, its real bad.

From what I am seeing in most sources, a pattern is emerging. A slow grind attack by Russian forces pushing ahead at all costs, Often who weren't even told more then, these are just exercises.. then thrust into a war with a damned determined and entrenched nationalistic foe.

They are throwing paratroopers willy nilly at the Ukrainians, who are just chewing these guys up.
It looks like Northern Kyiv was another paratroop op, often with saboteurs being dropped... , other times regular paratroops. In ops so poorly defended that air defenses are able to take them out in the air, then the Ukranian ground forces chew em up.

Russians are using every freaking dirty underhanded trick they know.. One instance of a Russian approaching a Ukrainian checkpoint in a Ukrainian police uniform, then opening fire on them as a truck of Russians show up.

Meanwhile, while the Russians are gaining sloooowly, they pay a massive tole.

Even still, it sounds like Zelensky has gone full George Washington and is in the field with the defenders.

And as things go on, even China looks like they are breaking ranks. Putin has gone full on meglomaniac and reserves have been spotted in Belarus moving.

I would not be suprised the Russians put up with this much longer, and dont end up doing something about Putin.. they have achieved precious little.

 

[Tombs]

Putin doesn't look like the cool and confident man I'm used to seeing.



Something is certainly up, between this insane offensive and this behavior, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with some polonium 210 in him.

He tried to get troops from Kazakhstan and basically got told to **** off.

If Putin has anything, it's likely the rarely if ever seen in the west PSM pistol. 5.45×18mm.

 

[ancjr]

If that were the goal, a sniper would be cheaper...and more effective.

Get me in close enough.

Has he ever been challenged before? I mean, give him a little slack. This is a new experience for him.

Some are optimists.
