    No that's what I've been seeing as well.  

    And honestly, vehicles and caravans with weapons for Ukrainian troops, ARE legitimate military targets.  Not that Russia cares about such distinctions.

     

     

    Agree that they are. But I don't see Putin hitting the airbase in Poland over this. I think this statement is to show strenght while knowing there is not much they can do.

    Can someone clue me in on why Finland first?  Is it so they're a physical barrier should Russia try something so outrageous as to try and cross Finland to get to Sweden?  

    Also, this is how shit gets out of control:

    Concerning NATO/US Vehicles, we are not crossing into the Ukraine from what I have seen, but taking the equipment close to the border. So to attack would be an attack on a NATO nation. Anyone else see anything different?

    I like the visual. I'd settle for seeing him sitting in a small cell with iron bars.

    Preferably one in Siberia or Ukraine and not in The Hague.

    Giants uni's just look weird.

    Have there been any of these City Connect uni's that don't look stupid?

    They ran out of crayon before the kids could color in all of the G?

    I like Washington's.

    Except that the French have been scaling back their African ops.

    Yes, in exchange for a larger EU presence and Peacekeepers. Talking with an expert tomorrow. Will see what I can gather from him.

    From who?

    Mainly the French and partnering up with Russia and Wagner in particular. This does not get a lot of coverage.

    Harrowing accounts are emerging of Malian troops and suspected Russian mercenaries allegedly executing about 300 people in central Mali.

    Residents told Human Rights Watch (HRW) that the killings took place during an operation against militant Islamists over four days in late March. 

    Detained men were ordered to walk in groups of up to 10, before being summarily executed, HRW said.

    "I lived in terror, each minute, each second thinking it would be my turn to be taken away and executed. Even after being told to go, I feared it was a trap," one man who witnessed some executions was quoted as saying. 

    "As I walked away, slowly, I held my hand on my chest, holding my breath, and waiting for a bullet to pass through my body," he added. 

    Mali's military admitted on Saturday that it had killed more than 200 militants in a "large-scale" assault on the "terrorist fief" of Moura.

    We were sending dozens of them to Iraq and Afghanistan, and training Iraqi and Afghan pilots on them at Fort Rucker.  They are still in production, including a few places outside of Russia, so it's possible that either we had captured/bought a bunch of old ones, or had purchased newer ones.

    Yep, was just curious. We could get some from allies and hook them up with Blackhawks/Apaches. Take that Putin!

    In active combat, or having surrendered?

    Because combat.....is combat.  That's horrific and gruesome, but it's also how war is fought.  Russia is gonna shoot back.  If they had surrendered, then of course, add it to the stack of war crimes in the corner.  You know the one.....it's the one full of shit Putin is gonna get away with.

    Platoon was standing by the side of the road. Tank comes rolling up on them. Seeing reports it could have been blue on blue.

    Yeach, that's pretty hypocrital of then given the Troubles.

     

    My great grandfather was a member of the IRA. He was hung for stealing horses from the rich and British army. I don't like what she said, but at least it was said. what do you know of the war for Irish independence? 

    Please stay in the CR. Flip me off all you want. Think.
