War in Ukraine

[Paper_Towel]

Not only that, those people have already paid for it.

It's like the idiots that throw out a particular brand after they paid for it because they came into a political position they don't like.

People burning jerseys they've already bought.

Ukraine is going to win this war.

Slow down. Only a few days in and a long way to go. Could be promising that Putin has now said he’s open to talks, though. Hopefully he’s figuring out he miscalculated the international response to his actions, Ukraine’s resolve and is starting to reconsider the prospect of needing to save face.

You going to defend this too? This dudes cheese done slid off the taco, Putin appears to be isolating himself from voices of reason. Nuclear war seems to become more and more likely by the day.

Ok this is going too damn far. Wasting good Vodka FFS?!

Pour it in your gas tank

It was shared yesterday, and he has already downplayed it.

He SURVIVED: Shocking moment elderly Ukrainian driver is pulled ALIVE from crushed car after 'barbaric' Russian troops DELIBERATELY swerved tank to drive over his car

• Video shows the shocking moment a Russian tank runs over the car of a civilian

An elderly Ukrainian driver was filmed being pulled alive from his crushed car after Russian troops deliberately swerved their tank and drove on top of him.

The Russian tank could be seen swerving towards the vehicle driving across several lanes in order to reach the car.

Incredibly, the elderly driver was still alive and pulled free from the wreckage

Dmitry goes around battlefields collecting Russian weapons and than putting them in the hands of Ukrainian. On a bike. About as Noncredible as it gets.

I've been retired for about 5 years, but I'm pretty sure I could write some code for an anti-aircraft missile, with the proper sensors that could detect the flares that they shoot out to defend against them.

Those of you doing the updates. Thank y’all

Super complicated and messy situation, that.

The Russian Court for a few centuries were actually ethnic Germans, unlike the people they ruled. Their constant marrying out back to the fatherland kept them involved in conflicts they really had no place in.

Actual Russians haven't been running Russia all that long on the grand scheme of things, just a little over 100 years in this most current stretch.

Basically Russia was (maybe still is) a land of mindless thugs. When they decided to move into the 19th century all signs of intelligence had to be imported from places like Germany and France. Putin seems to be a throwback to the old model before the age of enlightenment in Russia.

I don’t know if I’ve ever rooted for a non-US people more, at least since the Russians who overthrew the USSR and the Chinese protestors in Tianamen square.

 

[norrislakevol]

This is what I imagine an attack on the US would look like once the foreign invaders walked through the coastal elites.

Oh for sure. Would be even worse.

Occupations don't work. I previously questioned whether the Ukrainians would stand and fight. They will. To the death.

Plus the entire free world is giving them the materiel and other support they need to win.

Putin will lose this one. Badly.

 

[Vol737]

Yep. If I’m ever in a fight and outnumbered, I’ll take the Ukrainian.

Ukraine is going to win this war.

We had 585,000 solders in South Vietnam with advanced equipment and 100% control of the sky and could not defeat a determined insurgency. Russia does have the advantage of being right next door but Ukraine can win if they can hold out past the initial surge and employ the same tactics the VC and NVA used against us. The key is going to be for the West to keep the arms flowing.

Sure hope so. Hope that military hardware gets to them ASAP.

Protests are Pouring in! Hundreds of bars and liquor stores across US and Canada are dumping Russian vodka in show of solidarity with Ukraine

The protests are pouring in.

Hundreds of liquor stores and bars across the U.S. and Canada are removing Russian vodka and other Russian-made alcoholic beverages from their shelves in protest of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Bottles of Russian Standard Vodka will no longer be sold in LCBO stores in Ontario, Canada, in solidarity of Ukraine, as Russia continues its full-scale invasion

Bill McCormick (pictured), owner of Pine Tavern in Bend, Oregon, is emptying the entire bar's Russian vodka in protest against Russia, which is 'acting as though it's 1939'

Agreed. Both us and Russians lost in insurgencies against the Afghans, as well.

When you don’t have air supremacy and the enemy has MANPADS but you still try to do contested airborne ops far away from ground support. Twice.

 

[***RoadVol***]

WHAT is happening?

Where are you all getting this information??
I've been watching BBC, AL Jazeera', Gravitas and all the Ameican News companies and I'm not getting anything really definitive.

I had no idea Russia was struggling with this...

Just search social media that is coming out of Ukraine.

 

[Dirty Vol]

By "big one" do you mean a nuke? No way the drop a nuke on their next-door neighbor.

Yes, launching a nuke. I don't think they would go that route but then again I didn't think they would initiate an all out invasion of Ukraine.
