Free immigration to Russia once the war is over is possible as well
The average Russian citizen is more racist than most KKK members in the 1960s. They would not people of color to immigrate to Mother Russia.

Lol no. Russia is probably among the worst possible immigration destinations for an ethnic African. More likely they want a free ticket to Ukraine so they can cut & run to Western Europe. They’d have to get through Eastern Europe first though, so good luck lol. That whole area is about as immigrant-friendly as 4chan.

Thank you for your service our African friends. We have obtained housing for you in one of the most beautiful Russian cities. Have you heard the great city of Norilsk?

Howitzers appear to be on the move to Ukraine which will immensely help in the Donbas. A 40km range, 155mm howitzer, encapsulates a VERY fast firing rate, which are able to fire x-rounds volley and make every shell impact at the same time.

Their countrymen and woman run fast for long periods of time, that could be useful as cannon fodder.
They are darker skinned than North Africans, so a harder to see in the dark. (More efficient for night raids than using light skinned Europeans and Asians.)
Just Russia's little effort to send more food to starving Africans (by reducing the number of mouths to feed.)
Maybe counting on tribal memories of training by the Italian Army in WWII.

Ok my mistake, 3 years as a protocol officer in Cz Ministry of Industry and trade with a year in Ministry of Defence, good relationships built in Baltics and Eastern Europe especially Ukraine and Russia. I’ve got sensible friends.

I can imagine based off an experience I had landing in Zurich on a flight from Tanzania.
Immigration met passengers on the jet bridge deplaning which I've never seen before checking passports. Wife and I queue up.
Cop sees us and waves us past the Africans. Profiling pretty hard. That's Switzerland, other places are probably far worse.

We’ll see if the Russians learned anything. The Battle for Donbas has started.

This makes me wonder if Russia has speed up their offensive attack to today or if today was already planned. They definitely wouldn't want to have to start their advance with the Howitzers already in place.

I believe you’re thinking of TN Bhoy, and I believe he offed himself when he realized Stevie G was gonna win the league with Rangers.

You understand my hesitancy in engaging then lol. TN Bhoy was a frickwit. Probably still is wherever he is. Back to the war, very interesting that Russia is only coming from the north at this point. I guess Mariupol hasn’t fallen? FSB and GRU have a civil war amongst themselves at the moment.

Nope. Battle Drill 4. You always attack in to the ambush. It's your only chance of survival.
I have to say I felt sorry for those Russian troops. Probably just kids conscripted and rushed through training. Sitting and shitting while giving the ambushers time to maneuver and fire. Get frags and smoke over that wall and GTFO.
The part that really ripped into my grunt soul was when the one looked up, stared at the eye in the sky and then just looked down. I don't know what assets the Ukrainians have in the area but if that is me I am figuring there is a gunner somewhere closing the breach and another one is about to pull a lanyard to deliver me my Amazon Prime package.
It is one thing to put cannon fodder kids in the line of fire defending your nation but a whole other thing to send those same sorts of untrained kids into an invasion of another country. fricking Russians.

In principle, I agree. They are just kids and won't get to experience a lot of things.
In practice, I'd feel more sympathy for them if they weren't raping every woman they found and stealing whatever the get their hands on.

What I find hilarious is that we modeled the TSA after the security at Ben Gurion. Then we completely removed the racial profiling that made it so effective.

West's 'economic blitzkrieg' unsuccessful: Putin
Inflation over 18%
20% interest rates
Over 750 companies have curtailed operations in Russia
Flagship air carrier cuts dozens of routes. Hell Moscow airport closed 2 terminals and furloughed 20% of its staff
Their GDP is forecasted to drop between 9 and 10% in 2022 and another 1.5% next year
Car and Tank factories can't get supplies.
Yep Putin is right, totally failed.
