I guess that's because we don't have the kind of free press and freedom of information you have in russia. What with the 15 years in jail for reporting on it or even calling it a war. And the fact that putin has outlawed the watching of any news other than russian state tv.
(667) Serving army officer shut down on Russian state TV for saying soldiers are dying in Ukraine - YouTube What is abundantlly clear from watching your news is that russians are a bunch of cock suckers. (no offense)
The "unfiltered" truth. along with the "filtration" camps.
Well if that happened as per the video, then its a fuckup and certainly incompetent. But unless its widespread, and the UAF has the ability to make this happen consistantly and on a massive scale then its just a fuckup. If they do this 10 times a week then they have a chance. They had their own disaster trying to take Snake island back for PR gains (no strategic value) with about 60 KIA.
So how do you know for certain these were Russian vs Ukrainian tanks? Seems odd to me the Russians would attempt this without support from air power, while the Ukrainians have very little air capability remaining. The wreckage is only vehicles used by both militaries and none of the common newer ones used only by Russia. (which one would expect to see in such a large group)
It happened, there's lots of video evidence.
Russia tried to recover some of their losses as well.
Ukraine took out the tanks with artillery, they now have longer range NATO supplied artillery that's also more accurate and can be set with timed fuzes.
The Russians Lost An Entire Battalion Trying To Cross A River In Eastern Ukraine
The better part of a Russian army battalion—50 or so vehicles and up to a thousand troops—in recent days tried to cross a pontoon bridge spanning the Siverskyi Donets River, running west to east between the separatist provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

Is it? I wouldn't want to bow down and live in an autocratic country run by leaders who are more interested in Russia as an idea rather than as its people. Where I couldn't speak my mind and criticize the government's glaring failures. Where my freedoms are restricted for a greater good that doesn't actually materialize.
Besides, Ukrainians aren't taking on the "motherland", they're defending themselves from invaders in their home country.
And what the hell, you used Germany as an analogy, and now you're debunking your own analogy.
Why would you think the Russian's would fight with Germany?
But I do agree with you, without Russia, the war in western Europe would have been even more bloody than it was. But, I still think the allies would have prevailed. The manufacturing might of the US & Canada (untouched by the war for the most part), could have kept pumping out war materials at a rate that Germany would not be able to match.
They were also given 10 of thousands of GPS guided munitions for those long range artillery units as well.
Just program the coordinates int the round, point it in the general direction and "send it".
Dream on, does not change the fact that these two russian soldiers, after talking and smoking with these two elderly unarmed civilian men, turned around and shot them in the back multiple times as they walked away.
Then they go in and loot the offices of the man they just murdered.
Wasn't there a non aggression pact signed between them at one time early in the war?
So one of the "reasons" Russia gave for illegally invading Ukraine was that they believed Ukraine was going to attack them so Russia attacked in self defense.
Now in your eyes it is OK for Russia to attack Ukraine in self defense, but not OK for Ukraine to defend itself when it is being attacked.
Even better, send off a drone to get the GPS location, load in the coordinates and goodbye Z.
Yes, at the very beginning. But Germany then invaded them. And they did horrible things to Russian people — Hitler and the Nazi's really didn't like Slavs. So, if Germany knocked out Russia from the war, I highly doubt they would be totally safe from Russian trouble. They Russians would not help Germany, and there would be partisan violence.
Now...if Germany did not invade Russia, what would have happened? Hard to say. They didn't like each other, so I don't think Russia would help Germany invade the UK or defend fortress Europe. I think Stalin would, over time, recognize that Germany could easily turn its blitzkrieg east and go into Russia. And, I assume, Stalin wanted to expand communism into Europe as well...So, eventually Russia and Germany would eventually fight it out.
Nonsense...the West will confiscate Russian holdings to pay for the weapons' given to Ukraine and to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine. Russia will be in the poorhouse for Putin's foolish act
Are you sure this is how the west intend to recover the money lent to
Ukraine? I think Ukraine's foreign debt will have to be cancelled
mostly at the cost of the west. It will be more interesting to see if the
west can confiscate more Russian assets after the war to pay for
to-be-resumed imports of their fossil fuel and other natural resources.
Honesty who fucking knows anymore what’s gona happen to all those assets now.. but you also can’t forget that Russia has been paying all of it debts regardless of all the sanctions.. and one day they may as well stop. I’m surprised they haven’t stopped yet..
As for personal assets of different oligarchs I am sure best lawyers are on their cases by now..there is law in this Wild West still.
