With the events the past 8 weeks or so I don't think that fellow is too far off.Drip_Torch wrote: ↑May 10th, 2022, 7:36 pm Russian Media Monitor - - -> https://twitter.com/i/status/1523036461595242498
However, regardless Russian equipment might be dated compared to western standards, if someone were to invade Russia and threaten Moscow, I don't think it would turn out well for any invading force.
In this case with Ukraine, Russia is on the world stage how mostly inept they are in taking the fight to another country.
If you want to call destroying civilian targets and intentionally killing/murdering innocent civilians taking the fight to another country.
Despicable lot Poo-tin and his cronies are.

Re: Ukraine Russia war NEWS
Cue up the Daniel Powter music...




ETA: In total the now infamous Russian Siverskyi Donets river crossing, claimed 73 pieces of Russian equipment. (Destroyed, or abandoned) The implication, up to 1500 hostile invaders may have been successfully converted to temporary, yet very peaceful occupants, of Ukraine.

Chinese media captured an impressive clip of a Russian tank turret reaching a new high here: https://twitter.com/i/status/1524351169166024707
ETA: An interesting side note came to light today regarding the position of the tank that reached for the stars. Turns out this was deep, deep inside Russian controlled territory.
Here's a short, but great Russian tank explainer video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1523642621734060035
I hear Moscow is really nice this time of year. Maybe that's where Russian troops should pivot their focus to?

Russian depravity captured on camera. Usual warnings, but it is a CNN edited piece, so I certainly see much worse most days...

In other news...

.

Ukrainian soldiers in the Odesa region have unearthed a couple ancient amphorae. (new word to me, but see above) The containers are said to date back to the 4th or 5th century BC. They have been donated to the Odesa Archaeological Museum.

Re: Ukraine Russia war NEWS
Safe to say, river crossing isn't a Russian strong suit.

Oh looky here, what do we have in amongst the Russian helicopter wreckage?

Why a dryer, you might ask?

https://www.businessinsider.com/us-says ... ons-2022-5Russia is having to use computer chips intended for home appliances to repair its military hardware due to the impact of US sanctions, according to a US official.
"We have reports from Ukrainians that when they find Russian military equipment on the ground, it's filled with semiconductors that they took out of dishwashers and refrigerators," commerce secretary Gina Raimondo told the Senate Committee on Appropriations on Wednesday.

Re: Ukraine Russia war NEWS
I'm finding it harder to know what to believe. It seems for all we see on our end that Russia is losing hardware, they've gained territory at a vast cost to their armies but to no real cost to Putin himself. And Ukraine is losing fighters with few replacements while Russia keeps adding cannon fodder to their frontlines. How many soldiers can each side go through before someone ends that madman in Moscow?
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

No one but no one is voting FOR joining Russia. What a stupid pretext and how does one have a referendum when over half the population is gone?

Re: Ukraine Russia war NEWS
Yay! More Nazi insignia on Ukranian soldiers. They just can't stay away from it, can they?


Just for fun, here's a picture from the recent news about some Nazi maniac shooting up the store.

Spot some similarities
Totally not Nazis!
Totally not part of Ukranian armed forces!

Re: Ukraine Russia war NEWS
^^^ what are you getting at?? The Russian invasion of a sovereign country is justified because some soldiers have a spider web or jolly roger insignia on their uniforms?

Re: Ukraine Russia war NEWS
So up till 2017 Finland’s Air Force must have been full of nazi’s because there insignia was a swastika.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests. I am an old cantankerousness grump that happens to be very opinionated.

So is Russia pro-Nazi, or eradicating Nazi's in Ukraine?

and since 1918 when the Nazi's were not a big thing, borrowed the logo from Sweden.

Also used elsewhere, nothing to do with nazis.

I would not say that simply because I don't think Russia needs to justify their actions to anybody.
"Spider web" lol.because some soldiers have a spider web or jolly roger insignia on their uniforms?
That's literally Neo Nazi insignia. You feel like you need to defend Neo Nazis - that's on you
