All of Eastern Ukraine, which is a wasteland, is why everyone hates the Russians. Stop sucking the cock of a leader with a severe Napoleon complex that invades other countries just because he think is he is entitled to it under the bullshite and 80 year old excuse of fighting nazis.

So if you’re a pacifist if someone invaded your country, your home, what would you do? Would you just lay down and obey like a dog? If so a dog is exactly how you’ll get treated by them. Calling yourself a pacifist is a noble idea but completely flawed in today’s times. The simple fact is to have the life we have in the U.S., our forefathers had to fight and die so their grandchildren didn’t have to do it. The same is happening in Ukraine everyday. Sometimes you have to fight.

"Pacifism" - the privilege of being someone with no personal memory of being oppressed and no appreciation for the people who fought and died to put you in that position.

As opposed to the “illegitimate” targets they kill and maim? All the civilian men, women and children.

There are two kinds of targets in Ukraine. The ones they hit and the ones they miss.

Yes. And the LARPing Biden supporters on this thread like Leto II, CoeurDeTigre, and GOP_Tiger continue to froth at the mouth with every new report of dead Christian lads.

Well the main point was that they are openly saying they will target operatives from a NATO country, but if you want to virtue signal that’s fine too

I would never take "David D" at their word.

That said, there are a lot of people with a lot of maps showing very similar things. It looks like the AFU successfully counter-attacked outside of Kharkiv.

Russia is inching forward here or there, but they're paying a heavy price for it.

That is the risk, and it's a risk everyone knows.

Macron says Europe is fully committed to seeing "Ukraine win," whatever that means. He's now committing troops to that cause, even if they're not in a 'front line' capacity.

We'll have to wait and see what happens. I do not see Russia or Europe escalating towards nuclear war, FWIW.

That depends if AFU has gotten behind the Russian positions at Vovshansk and if mor than SOF units.

They already said they would kill any American or European volunteers they encountered in battle at the onset of this...

Yeah I don’t think anyone knowingly does. That’s my issue with a lot of this conflict, it feels like we are sleepwalking into it.

I think if you’re going to give Ukraine weapons you let them use them how they see fit, or you don’t give them at all. But with that comes escalation risk that you must accept when you ship the equipment.

I’ve actually said if we are going to give them aid, even though I don’t personally support that, we should just give them the top tier pork so they can end this. Either go whole hog or not at all. I think that’s what Trump would have done and that’s why the invasion didn’t happen under Trump.

A number of outlets are reporting Ukrainian Border Guards retaking positions in Vovchansyk. One captured Russian said this unit left his there 21 days ago after he was wounded. My guess is that he was in the no man's land part for these 21 days.

It is obvious that Russia doesn't have the equipment needed to capitalize on weakened areas of the front. They do have lots of meat to throw at the front.

I had to look around on Google Satellite view its in a nearby village. It's a very new (2010) refinery with recent expansions. It's a more complex refinery digging deeper into the barrel of oil. Approx 120,000 BPD capacity. It's packed into a compact space so a single boom can go boom boom boom
