The green soldiers he sent into Ukraine aren't a good representation of their army. They are just weeding out the new recruits and getting them some active combat experience. His crack troops will go in last and are mostly being held out in case the west gets involved.
It's obvious a lot of these guys are inexperienced kids but he has also lost some quality guys by needlessly putting them in shitty spots.

(1/7) I fully support the right of the people of Ukraine to self determination. However there are many reasons I could not vote for the seven page Resolution that passed the House of Representatives today.
quote:
(2/7) The resolution contains an open ended call for additional and immediate “defensive security assistance.” This term is so broad that it could include American boots on the ground or, as some of my colleagues have already requested, US enforcement of a no-fly zone.
quote:
(3/7) It expands the geographic scope of the US commitment to the conflict in Ukraine by condemning the country of Belarus. We should not be seeking to name new enemies or committing to overturning other governments.
quote:
(4/7) It calls for “fully isolating” Russia economically. This would hurt low-income US citizens who are already reeling from inflation. Innocent people in Russia, many of whom oppose Putin’s aggression, would suffer under crippling sanctions, possibly turning them against us.
quote:
(5/7) Crippling sanctions could also drive Putin to become more desperate, inciting him to resort to drastic measures such as escalating the weapons employed or the people targeted.
quote:
(6/7) The resolution contains a gratuitous statement that Ukraine and NATO will determine the relationship between the two of them. Of course this is true, but why should Congress assert this now when the goal is to de-escalate the conflict?
quote:
(7/7) It calls for continuing support “as long as the Russian Federation continues to violate Ukraine’s sovereignty.” Depending on the definition of “violate,” this could be a US commitment to forever be actively engaged in a conflict with another nuclear country.

I'm sure he has, it is a war after all. I was just pointing out that the talking point of "Russia's troops are all peasant conscripts" isn't the truth. Their Navy and Air Force might be a joke but their land forces are very formidable.

Listening to CNN. Lady stops to say please don't call the Ukrainians insurgents. They are a resistance force......
Media really not used to rooting for this side.

Special Operations Forces of Ukraine: From now on, no Russian artilleryman will be taken prisoner. No mercy, no "please don't kill, I surrender," it won't pass anymore.

There’s a porn bomb still up on the OT thread if any of y’all are interested

If true the dumbasses are giving Putin cover to go scorched earth.
Just like the government calling on civilians to use molotovs. That makes them combatants.

He's already targeting civilians anyway. He doesn't need an excuse. If he did he'd just make one up like he usually does.

Me thinks this smells a lot like desperation.

He won't. It's a win/win for him. Gives him propaganda (which is probably what this is) to use on his side of it and he loses a few dozen troops. He just has to starve Kiev out and solidify his gains in the east and the south and this will be over.

Don't think I recognize that username. Must have caught the crew at dinner time if it was up a minute.

Seeing a pretty massive explosion outside of Kyiv but waiting for some better footage.

I will always remember strawsdrawnatrandom for his on the SECrant. Thing stayed up for almost two hours. Pod threads will never be the same.

That was actually the second porn bomb in that thread. Both had the same gifs, so I think klewis ditched his alter and then his main account he had been registered since 2009.
