Russia Declares War on Ukraine<<MOD WARNING>>

If only mass casualties mattered to the Russian Horde! Like orcs or zombies, they don't stop just because they get decimated by the defense. Their "Supreme Commander" back in his comfy palace in Moscow doesn't care how many of them drop like flies; he only cares that an objective is achieved, and will only care about their deaths if they threaten that objective.

An enemy that doesn't mind taking heavy casualties is bound to be a tough one to beat back.

 

Had not thought of that use for drones.
Hell of a challenge for the engineers.

 

Sure. You may not like the reason, but it is there.

 

The struggle continues. . . .

Ukraine says troops holding onto Sievierodonetsk, advance in south

 

From this story:

Two Britons and a Moroccan who were captured while fighting for Ukraine were sentenced to death on Thursday by a court in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), one of Russia's proxies in eastern Ukraine, Russian news agencies reported.​

Fricken naZis. Looks like they're following through on their threat to kill foreign volunteers fighting for Ukraine.

 

Napoleon could get away with that because of the high birth rate -- for a while.
Russia now? IMO, it will cost them for many generations.
Did France ever really get over its losses during the Napoleonic Wars?

 

Ulus of Jochi will be speaking Mandarin in a mere decade or so at this rate.

 

Why you complain? The volunteers as you call them are not subject to the laws of the war. They were paid for their volunteering and they knew what would happen to them if they are cought.

 

Human rights. They mean something outside of ruZZia and its newly minted satellites.

 

"Two Britons and a Moroccan who were captured while fighting for Ukraine were sentenced to death on Thursday by a court in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), one of Russia's proxies in eastern Ukraine, Russian news agencies reported."

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

From an earlier war.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the days when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.


Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.

--A.E. Housman

 

Don't know why you are liking that. If Russia dared nuke anyone from NATO they would get erased from the world.

The rest of the world, however would survive. But we would all be speaking Chinese lol

 

Excellent targets.

 

How is that? Russia has unimpeded control of most of Donbas and of southern Ukraine up to Kherson.

 

Wow. You could say they were terrorists but does Russia have the death penalty like america?

 

--
Our Tsar was very much afraid that US missiles would appear in Ukraine.
Why does no one want to eliminate the cause of the war and give Putin written guarantees that there will be no US missiles in Ukraine?

 

No he wasn't.

 

Sure they do.

 

And perhaps without resistance. I doubt that even Alinsky, a savvy thinker when it came to filling power vacuums, could have predicted a Russian blunder of this magnitude.

"Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict." Saul Alinsky

 

Opinion: Why I'm ditching my comfy Canadian lifestyle for Ukraine

...

I suspect that my late father would have reacted to the Russian invasion of Ukraine with little astonishment.

Having been the victim of Russian aggression and several attempts to silence his own voice of dissent, what is playing out now across the country feels very much like history repeating itself — from the liquidation of Ukrainian culture to the burning of churches (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russian forces have "destroyed" 113 churches since the start of the war) and the stealing of grain from Ukrainian ports, to the mass forced deportations to Russia.

My father, a Sovietologist with a focus on church-state politics, was so despised by the Kremlin that he was prevented from returning to the then-Soviet Union to attend his own mother's funeral just outside of Lviv. Up until Ukraine's independence in 1991, he was refused access to KGB archives for his book on the persecution of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

A hell of a read. RuZZia's barbarism is so old-fashioned and out of place. It's like having Hitler or some ancient warlord back and ravaging a modern country.

 

Huh....just imagine being at the receiving end. Pity those Ukrainians.

Dimitry Medved really has grown a pair. No more niceties. Just tell it as it is.

"Explaining the harshness of his posts in his TG to TASS, he didn't mince words: "I hate those bastards and degenerates" who wish death to us, and want to annihilate Russia. He also promised until he is alive to do everything to rid planet off them."

 

I'm returning land to Russia like Peter the Great, says Vladimir Putin

Anyone who bought the story line about Ukrainian Nazis and genocide against russians is a fool.
Pootin said it today - invasion of Ukraine is nothing but a fascist takeover in an attempt to rebuild the empire.



Straight out of the horse’s mouth!

 

At this point we might as well stop comparing Putin to Hitler, because Putin is the new standard in fascism and imperialism. He should be the point of reference going forward.

 

NATO is on collision course with Russia.
We should just stop screwing around and hit Russia hard once and for all. The sooner we do it, the less people will die on our side.
