Oh, my, this can not be more lies and crisis actors, or a direct result of the Ukrainians garrisoning troops in hospitals, kindergartens, schools and other public buildings, now can it?!?!

Honestly. I am not confident in what the West is saying.

I mean you should never trust anything any side tells you in a war. Question everyone, especially the side you would default support.

Russian propaganda is letting things slip too fast again, this time through the lips of a representative of the totally not FSB controlled church.

Edit: Also, a Russian battle damage assesment drone breached Polish airspace for a bit, before returning to Ukie airspace and being shot down.

Hmm, now that be epic trolling.



Russian MoD reluctantly released this footage of UkA losses. Russian MoD remain adamant about not fighting the war on Twitter, how many divisions does Twitter give them?

Hey, @LTR do we have an "insane geographic nonsense and name duplication" thread?
I imagine that there can be all sorts of weird shenanigans there.
IIRC the USA had several Kansas cities outside of Kansas.

Seems like a good idea.

Not sure it has been talked about on the thread already, but the Reddit Volunteers in Ukraine were officially given their baptism by fire and are calling it quits.

I know I should feel bad for them, but I am not sure what they expected going there?
Also, they should remember that they are not really covered by the geneva conventions...

They were expecting the same level of implicit support and supplies that a western power takes for granted. On call, 24/7 airstrikes on the individual level. Endless ammunition and food. Total air superiority to the point that neither artillery or IFVs survive being spotted. Being on the opposite end of the extreme force imbalance is a new and apparently unwelcome experience for them.

I am more keen to trust the Russians due the simple factS they :

1. Didn't lie straight to my face for the past 2 years about le coof
2. They are censored, openly victimized on social media and have seen the Western export of democracy for 20 years
3. They haven't affected my life negatively in the last 20 years
