Russia Ukraine Update Thread

The longer the war goes on, the more damaged is Ukraine. Imagine 10 years from now. Ukrainians be very impoverished.

But still Ukrainian. You just don't get it.

With the rate Russia is going through soldiers there's no way this war goes on for even a year.

After just a few days Russia has had to commit half the troops they had deployed for the invasion. If things keep going the way they're going Russia is going to need to start calling in troops from other areas which will give Ukraine a chance to reinforce their position.

Have a peek at Germany, who is taking point due to lack of US leadership, and how they are kid gloving russia

I've been watching. I've been bitching about it for days.

Some of us KNEW this was coming the minute democrats cheated joe into the big chair.

And said so repeatedly.

We took measures.

Really doesn't matter what joe does or doesn't do anymore.

We got this.

I hope so, because this isn't looking good. I feel like Taiwan is next.

Enter China. Not only can they facilitate any transaction, they can also offset losses of revenue

All at a discount mind you, as crypto has plunged due to China legal manipulations.

Trigger finger is currently hovering over the china mouse button.

We can easily CRASH both.

(ccp is actually easier to do than russia)

My poor crypto.

Sorry.

A billion or so lives matter more.

Hopefully won't need to do anything further.

I'm used to being poor, do what you gotta do.

There was a report earlier on Fox that they asked the Belarussian army to reinforce them.

It might be.

That was their plan.


We didn't/don't have any ability to prevent either of them.

Or others.



But we sure do know what to do about it when they try.

Begged.

Then demanded.

a reply to: vNex92

did he put himself those pictures online with the capture: 'it's me at the front of the army'?

He is there though, he was offered to flee, he refused and stayed to go through this, till the very end. Don't you think that this looks like another propaganda to make people bicker and focus on something that is not that essential? There is also another one going around that the injured woman on all the front pages is actually from the archives of 2018. Do I choose to believe it? No.

This is what I believe in:


This is Kharkiv. And this is why people are advised not to open windows because of the hazardous chemical fumes. For russians it was a strategical target, for people that suppose to live there - possible death. Piece-keepers nonetheless.

They are using Chechens to pick up the slack... but after listening to the Chechen leader, he sounded a little primitive.
