Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

[friedaweed]

Meanwhile. Humanising, but in an inhuman situation.



You'll need to turn subtitles on. Unless you speak Ukrainian (and I think some of it is in Russian)

Having watched that now I think the reason this war is going on so long is that both sides seem to be smoking an awful lot of shit.

Accuracy brothers, and sobriety for the win.

I thinks it’s obvious to all who have been following this thread is that it was NATO’s fault.

Is he the one who sold them the ice cream van?

That's all very well, but I'm not coming to any conclusions until I've seen the class analysis.

Yes. This thread is nato's fault, look who started it

I'm not sure who is behind the Kremlin thing however the idea of 'bringing the war' to a Russian population that by and large hasn't seen a war , aside from on TV, makes some sense even if it's a stunt.

Bloke knocking on Putin's Long Table door with response of "Dave's not here ..."

We had a DJ in Ireland called Dave Windsor who was known to be late for his show sometimes, the pervious DJ would start his show with 2 or 3 tracks, and 'Dave's not here, man' inserted between them, which had been carted up and hidden away from Dave in the studio.

His statement came after he posted a video among dead fighters, asking Russia for more ammunition.

Was just coming here to post that.

Herr Wagner has had enough and he's just not going to take it anymore.

Apparently he has form for rattle throwing so we'll see how this pans out.

 

[Cid]

Yeah I think he does this around once/month.

I hope he's got someone to check all the safety locks on his windows...

If he has any sense he'll have moved to a ground floor apartment long ago.

I'd have thought private military companies would be responsible for supplying their own ammunition

You can get a nasty sprain from falling out of a ground floor window

Is the counter offensive still on or was the attack on the Kremlin it?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you

I'll see if I can find the sub contracting guidance on Discord

We've all seen discord in the last few statements the wagner man's made

Cancelled owing to lack of interest.

It's still very muddy, not the best time for massive armoured advances.

Puts spitfire back on the list of suspects for Russ's Walt

Seriously, do you realise how much of a cunt you make yourself look on this thread.

You started off by making some rational arguments that ran contrary to the majority opinions on here, but that were valid and from a progressive political footing. But lately you appear to have got sucked into a position where you are now coming across as a Putin cheerleader and a person who sneers at dead Russian anti fascist anarchists.

Your posting elsewhere suggests you aren’t a complete dick, just a little lacking in empathy, but here you are creating an awful pro Putin’s oligarchy persona, something I don’t think you really are.

Anyway, I think it’s likely you won’t reflect on this and just play the man and not the ball. But I wanted to try once.

I suspect Russ's list of walts is quite a long one, given that it almost certainly consists of "anyone with an opinion I don't care for".

AP had a story today about forest training that they suggested may be part of prep, though vague of course.

I've been assuming that the constant mentions of 'spring offensive' meant there was no chance of a large ground assault by the Ukrainians in spring. Because I'm not much of an armchair general but you're not me at to tell the other side what to expect are you?

 

[The39thStep]

He did go from using walts as in plural to his last utterances on the matter where he used the term resident walt. So there may be two lists , resident and non resident.

Tell you what. You try playing the ball not the man and I might engage with you. However you rarely do so, it’s always attack the messenger.

I tell people I'm a walt but I'm not really.

Muddy is usual at this time of year.
