Gut wrenching and a travesty.
I was checking some stuff on reddit and twitter... and from the pictures of gunned down russian tanks and helicopters its seems
1) Russians have a lot of old ass run down equipment on the front lines.
2) 3-4 days in and ukraine is still holding position. apparently Javelins are mowing thru russian tanks easily. sheer size of deployment/number of battles suggest casualties in 4 digits for both sides already.
3) Russian tanks are running out of fuel mid battle, and entire squads of paratroppers have been lost with no clear supply line.
I suspect there is no way the russian army is as large/equipped as we have all been told, there is no way an economy the size of spain can support an army which on paper is/was nato (minus the US) sized.

If it continues to impact the oligarchs, he's going to commit suicide by 2 gunshots to the back of the head.
All of their private yachts (12 cabinet members) were boarded and seized by the perspective port countries in the last 3 days.
Musk agrees to help Ukraine
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk claims his Starlink satellite internet program is active in Ukraine after a request from the government
Russian State owned media with a story about Cunty Musk when wagging war against Ukraine......wonder why at the start of a war this would ever be considered newsworthy by Russian State owned media?

It popped up after a few minutes.
heh.
heh.
but, I can’t believe that RT is running that article. Something seems ‘off’ about that if they are a mouthpiece for Putin.

there is a video of ukranians rolling up on a tank out of gas and offering them a tow back to russia
Even if I have my doubts that it paints an accurate picture, the Ukranians are doing an incredible job on the information war front, with tangible real world effects.
In other news, Germany just kicked three decades worth of Russia and defense policy in the can, tripling the defense budget for this year, putting 2% + defense expenditures into the constitution, finally deciding to acquire armed drones and continue nuclear sharing.
All this won’t help if procurement and training don’t get sorted out, but these were debates and issues that have dragged on for decades. Sad about the impetus that finally got the ball rolling. Also building new LNG terminals to compensate for Russian imports.

Look at this clown-ass chickenshit
They’ve been driving around mobile ICBMs on the highways around Moscow for days for maximum dashcam exposure.
I never would have predicted that Ukraine would hold its own and repel the russians. I wonder if they are getting a lot of behind-the-scenes support with javelins and supplies from friendlies (aka, us).
Man, Nuclear Winter is going to suck for you guys.
The cards Russia are playing paints a desperate position, IMO. Not a good situation! Maybe we will see a nuke fail to launch and go off on the ground.
Military coup in Russia would be nice, followed by actual democratic elections and then global nuclear disarmament.
They indeed do, Poland, Czech Rep, Baltic states, now German, Netherlands - Europe can out-logistics the russians for long enough to make this a massive nightmare for Putler at home. You can send them Ukrainians some cash for self-defense gear if you're inclined to do so. The russians are good at one thing and one thing only - needlessly wasting human lives "za rodinu", because human life has no value in russia, never did, never will. That may not be of much use in European war mongering anymore.
Funny, but (Ras)putin's not particularly analogous to Hitler. The latter committed suicide as the allies were taking Germany apart - there ain't going to be armies invading Russia in that fashion.
I'm hoping that Mr. P. gets taken out internally.
Be fitting if he ends up like that other KGB guy Beria, supposedly his body was dumped in the sewer?
Cremated.
its one thing if you know what you are getting into or know whats coming but it seems these kids werent told shit and were just thrown into the fire.
