I wish Zelensky would shut off the internet, if only because Redditors are doing as much damage to the Ukrainian war effort as anything else.

Not again. It’s like people on Reddit are either idiotic enough to paint a bullseye target on their back, or something else. Zelensky should seriously address the issue of the Redditors of the Ukrainians are to minimize their casualty rates because of it.

I wonder why the Ukrainian military didn't confiscate the phones from their foreign volunteers. You would think that not having a phone on the battle field would make more sense, since loose lips sink ships, or in this case, loose phones attract drones. Do those foreign fighters even have...

Hopefully the Ukrainians don’t lose an Oplot in this case

How effective were the T-84 Oplots that Ukraine had fielded so far? I haven’t heard about their deployment so far, and those modified tanks are slightly better than most Russian tanks that are deployed.

The RCAF can't effectively enforce the no fly zone though, unless certain squadrons are posted in another NATO airbase, and even if they did try to enforce it, they only have approximately 70 something CF-18s.

Yikes. If the foreign volunteers were going to be completely useful, shouldn’t they get refresher training before getting deployed, for those with actual military experience?

Finally! The Territorial Defense Battalions are finally going to use technicals to slow down the Russian military.

Do we know any DPR/LPR casualties? I'm not sure if the separatist losses are higher than the losses sustained by the regular Russian military.

Man, those guys look horrifying.

Most likely activists connected to the anti-Lukashenko Belarusian Opposition. The guys who fly the flag of the short lived Belarusian People's Republic and the Pahonia sigil.

Shouldn’t Ukraine have a better chance of repelling the Russian offensive now that they’re awash with Western military aid? Though we may not want to admit this or not, this war might have effects on China’s BRI, and SE Asia as well, since those nations might be given a third option for their...

Then we’d really get Zhirinovsky’s Russian Empire in real time instead of an alternate timeline.

Has the Ukrainian military held on to Dnipro in this case as well?

Yeah, but was the bridge blown up the one that connects Kyiv to southern Belarus?

What is synthetic fuel made of in any case? The real issue regarding Crimea was not just oil and gas: it's also the base of the Black Sea Fleet. I'm not sure if this is true, but there were plans to move the base of said Black Sea Fleet to Novorossiysk in the event that Russia failed to get...

Not to mention that if Putin hadn’t come to power back in 2000, the unheard of Union State of Russia and Belarus would have Lukashenko as its President. There’s a video titled When Belarus tried to Annex Russia on YouTube.

It's not like American oil and gas companies will use their tankers to ship those things to Europe, but tankers will take a lot longer to sail from whichever part of the US they're extracting said oil and gas to which refinery in Europe they'll send it to. There's Bondsteel in the Balkans, but...

They might have to extend the upgraded Iron Curtain to include China as well, for obvious reasons.

Western Ukraine is already a hotbed of Russophobia, due to it being historically linked with not only Poland, but the former Austro-Hungarian Empire as well. Most of what is now Ukraine were once a part of the Tsarist Empire.
