  1. This burning ship seems like a really big deal. Massive equipment losses and propaganda value.
  2. Russians are a bunch of shitheads and deserve the decades of international scorn that are going to follow this invasion.
  3. If Belarus invades, I feel like it would be fair game for Poland to step in and wipe them out.
  4. Why is the Russian military full of doughy, pasty, fat dudes? Is PT not a thing there? I guess vodka may be the simplest explanation.
  5. Why are autocrats always so sensitive?
  6. The Russian military is a joke. Their tactics seems to be stuck in 1940 while their logistics are stuck in 1340. Leadership is non-existent.
  7. Between the officers getting killed on the frontline and the ones getting purged at home, the Russian army is going to be led by NCOs pretty soon whether they like it or not.
  8. Any “analyst” suggesting that Ukraine brought this upon themselves is completely full of shit. Fuck that guy, whatever his name is.
  9. Reconstruction is going to be paid for by the seized Russian currency reserves.
  10. Unlike the Russians, it seems like there is a decent amount up “stand up against tyranny” amongst the Belarusian population.
  11. Putin going full purge less than a month into the invasion tells you pretty much everything you need to know. They’ll be so busy executing “traitors” that Ukraine will be an afterthought pretty soon.
  12. Are those child soldiers?
  13. What Ukrainians call the invaders. I’m guessing it’s a reference to lord of the rings.
  14. China sees an opportunity to exploit Russia for its natural resources for the next 50 years. They don’t maximize that opportunity by bailing Russia out. They’re going to let them lose the war. Next time Russia comes asking for help, they’re REALLY going to need it.
  15. This must mean they’re launching cruise missiles from Russian territory?
  16. To add to his already impressive resume, Mr. Mironov also starred in a popular sitcom in the early 2000s.
  17. Only one more day til the Russian stock market opens.
  18. Russia has already lost. It’s just a matter of how much deeper they want to dig the hole. Already their demands have been significantly reduced. They’re sending WWI armored trains to try to resupply their demoralized, unmotivated, and hopelessly lost invasion force. They just need to give up.
  19. Japan starting to get a little frisky.
  20. I take all of these interviews with Russian citizens with a grain of salt. They just passed a law that you can be imprisoned for 15 years for spreading “false information” about the war. And even before the law, your average Russian knew that you might get disappeared if you piss off the wrong government official. You’re not gonna find many of them willing to say “yeah Putin is full of shit and we need to end this war immediately”.
  21. If UA is in fact responsible, I assume that they calculated that the side effects were not as bad as the implications of the armored divisions reaching Kyiv. But at the very least, lots of property was destroyed and will have to be rebuilt after the war.
  22. I’m reading that UA opened a dam to flood the areas north of Kyiv and three Russian mechanized divisions are stuck in the mud. edit:
  23. Yes. And I’d also bet that the number of active and reserve troops is severely inflated. We saw this in Afghanistan. Regional commander secures his budget for “5000” troops. Tells 3000 of them they shouldn’t bother showing up for work or drills. Pockets the difference on ammunition, food, and equipment. It’s a pretty good racket until you’re supposed to start fighting a war.
  24. Who knew that the humble John Deere tractor was the greatest tool in modern land warfare.
