Sounds like fearmongering to me. Besides, I thought Putin's objective was to capture the people and infrastructure of Ukraine, not a depopulated ruin. Russia already has plenty of barren, unpopulated land. And give Moscow more breathing space.

What could Russia have done differently on the strategic level? They could not have continued preparing more than they already did without it becoming blatantly obvious that an invasion was imminent, or else Ukraine would have begun mustering their forces.

Why does that tank have a large white flag? Is it surrendering?

Interesting story, though I have to wonder how someone could see the windows on a car from 100 meters away. Maybe my eyesight is just heinously awful. I wear glasses after all, but even on the day I get a brand new prescription I can't possibly make out details that far away.

Hm... how much do Russian jet pilots make per year? If you've spent years training to become a jet pilot, then thrashing your career for $1,000,000 USD might not be such a bright idea, especially as the dollar is about to inflate substantially. You probably would not be allowed to put your...

Aren't modern fighter jets 200x more complicated than the relatively simplistic machines of WW2? It's not like any random person with experience flying passenger planes or any random car mechanic can work on those machines. Anyone with the ability and knowledge to actually pilot those jets are...

Soldiers hiding inside schools might have done that.

That sounds like setting up a nightmare scenario.

Seems like once Russia obtained air supremacy a couple days into the campaign and the Russians were 20 minutes outside of the capital, that was when he should've surrendered, since from that point on he'd just be delaying the inevitable and pointlessly dooming people to die for no reason. He...

Man is bleeding to death and he just stands there over him looking at his phone.

I wonder how many of those 4,300 deaths were the result of on the ground battles with infantry, versus being bombarded by air and artillery during the first couple days. The only thing that really stands out to me is the logistics. It seems that there are several videos of Russian vehicles...

Even if the Ghost of Kiev isn't real, it's still a cool folk story. We don't have folk heroes anymore.

Do we have sources of those?

Feels like Ukraine is desperate to tout anything they can (at this rate, they won't be touting anything for much longer) whereas the Russians let their gains speak for itself. Also, if Putin's goal is to reenact Bismarck's unification of the German states, then he doesn't want to antagonize the...

Empty threat. No way they'd do it. Even if they tried it would never hit. It'd disintegrate in the atmosphere and/or miss. The ISS is not aerodynamic.

That is quite worrying. The Russians seem to be treating the civilians well right now but if an insurgency happens than that may stop...

Would be cool but I don't think Sabaton do anything past WW2.

:(

Sounds like the Russians were sending in troops who weren't very motivated? Or is this just officers trying to save their own skin?

Any reason why they are flying so low?
