War in Ukraine

[kiddiedoc]

Wonder how many trucks long that convoy is.

LOL

I heard only around 40.

Here comes the full assault on the Capital. I pray for the Ukrainians

Man, I bet the Ukranians wish they had a squadron of Warthogs about now.

Actually, in this case the secondary explosions from the center vehicle took out all of the surrounding vehicles. Plus, I sense that Ukraine doesn't have a bunch of these drones and there aren't a bunch of A10s or F35s to sweep in and mop up.

There's another post-fact video available street-side.

Bunch of crispy critters.

Yeah, I noticed that, but also saw some vehicles near the front and back trying to squirm out. The secondary explosions were pretty awesome - they hit something good.

Ukraine is showing more resolve than any other NATO nation in recent memory, but they set themselves up to have their country devastated when there was a pathway for peace available that could have been achieved long ago.

"Pathway for peace"? What was that, being made a Russian puppet state?

There better be a huge number of fuel trucks in it or Ukraine is about to get a large influx of new armor pieces.

A Team Of American And British Special Forces Veterans Are Preparing To Join Ukraine’s Fight Against Russia

KYIV – A group of 10 special operations forces veterans are staging in Poland and preparing to cross into Ukraine, where they plan to take up President Volodymyr Zelensky on his offer to “join the defense of Ukraine, Europe, and the world,” according to a US Army veteran arranging their passage.

The group, composed of six US citizens, three Brits, and a German, are NATO-trained and experienced in close combat and counterterrorism.

They want to be among the first to officially join the new International Legion of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine that Zelensky announced on Sunday, according to text messages reviewed by BuzzFeed News. Two former American infantry officers are also making plans to come to Ukraine to provide “leadership” for the group, the Army veteran recruiter said.

Definitely. I suspect priority targets would be MLRS and anti-aircraft systems.

Dang, lots of possibilities...

Kyviv and now Mariupol are both encircled by Russian troops but still Russia has yet to take any key cities.

That’s pretty terrible news. Have to think Russia takes both, though I’m not sure how long it will take to do so.

Supremely bad idea.

To be fair now Klitschko is saying Kyiv is not surrounded.

 

[volfanhill]

And all currently elected leaders jailed or thrown out windows.

 

[Burhead]

Everyone on twitter is speculating that the aircraft will be older Soviet era fighters like the MiG-29 from EU countries that still operate them.

 

[ButchPlz]

To be fair now Klitschko is saying Kyiv is not surrounded.

I can't see how they would have it surrounded when they're driving tanks off bridges and running out of gas.

 

[Dergibvol]

Don't know if its true but read NATO and EU to supply combat aircraft to Ukraine. Soviet Era that pilots will not need to be retrained on. See everyone already said this.

 

[luthervol]

Not really. They have reported what's happening on the ground in Ukraine, the nuclear threat by Russia and also the polls showing 59% of Americans think that Biden's weakness is what caused Putin to attack.

So they actually reported that 59% of Americans are insane? I bet 98% of that 59% would list Fox as one of their primary news sources.

 

[Pacer92]

I think 2-3 times now Zelensky has agreed to peace talks only at the last minute back out. Not understanding this?

 

[MontyPython]

Supremely bad idea.

Well they're on their own.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Hey is it not crazy how we are so fractured? This thread is proof of that. Now you see why I hate extremists on the right as much as I do the ones on the left. I am a conservative and I hate the woke leftist running this country and it makes me want to puke, but the insane rightist is just as sickening to me.

 

[Orangeburst]

Will need to be currently operable kit, cause it takes a long time for training to fly and maintain something new

I'm not always sure when you are being serious, but I think Anderson Cooper is one of the better ones.

I think he’s been really good the last few nights. He’s capable of being a very good journalist.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Oh wow that’s awesome. I’d like to see us send some land based CIWS and Patriots.
