The ongoing shift of Russia's willingness to actually target soft civilian targets is disturbing. We saw the hit on the children's hospital earlier today. Now, multiple reports of neighborhoods coming under fire. This is more than collateral damage.

This thread provides information quicker than the traditional media and gov't outlets.

I am stunned that Ukraine has put up this much resistance and/or how shitty russia has been. Like a large part of me feels like we're either being fed crazy propaganda or that Russia is employing the ol rope a dope strat or something.

I get resolve to fight for your home, but it feels like Russia is getting destroyed on a "pound for pound" basis.

Just to update everyone, almost all of the Livestreams on YouTube currently from the Capitol of city Kyiv are Fake and are either playing Looped Footage or Video from last night, there is currently no Gunfire being heard in Kyiv only Intermittent Explosions.

Yea, there's a couple threads on TD that are beating all the news sources by an hour in most cases....however there's also a bunch of false BS you have to be able to recognize and ignore.

Threads like this make me realize how dnagerous it is for dumb people to be online that just believe everything.

It was never going to be easy for Russia, and we are only 3 days in.

Radio Free Europe. Dust it off. They'll find out. Russian youth are probably good with internet social media. They have to know something is wrong when they no longer have access.

I am more talking about not being able to establish air dominance and also losing strategic positions after initially capturing them.

It might be the first reason

But there's no point of rope a doping Ukraine

That would be like Ali rope a doping a 14 year old

Keep that in mind. World event battles tend to take place over months in the past thousand years. This could still be going this nuts a month from now.

Anyone else wondering when Russia responds to everyone's sanctions over the last few days?

But we know Russia has more up to date tech and tanks and shite like that. They are using a lot of cold war era equipment even though we know they have much more modern stuff. Many of the soldiers that have been captured look like a bunch of out of shape simpletons they pulled off the couch a couple weeks ago.

ETA: I never expected Russia to come in and defeat ukraine in a week, but I also didn't expect them to appear to be complete amateurs using decades old tech

Seems to me that without air sup, it could be taken out. Takes a while to load and would light up on radar/infrared
