Looks like RF is out of reserves already. Izium direction didn't receive any reinforcements in 4 days.
A month ago I heard Russia has missiles left for 2-3 days only, and yet there are still missile strikes. ;)
 
Well.... I have to admit I can to some degree see why Russia talks about NATO as an aggressive pact..I know it isn't was born in a NATO country and lived in it through the cold war.
But we didn't think of WAPA as a peaceful defence treaty, we thought of it as a dangerous, evil force, determined to undo the west, undermine and reign terror on us.
I guess the Russians are stuck in the cold war mindset.

Edit: it appears I might be living in a NATO country again soon, as Russian aggression are forcing the two longest neutral countries in Europe closer to join NATO.
Russia has proven decisively that they will attack and invade sovereign, neighbouring countries.

Because I'm questioning those victorious claims ("Russia has no more missiles/pilots/soldiers left")?
No, it's your continually smirking attitude towards the whole situation that sits really badly with me, and the fact that you are more willing to crow about supposed Russian successes than to address the horrific suffering being purposefully visited upon civilians by Putin and his filthy regime.
 
Until his draft letter arrives.
Truth!? Could be.

Russia started this war with a "special military operation". Since it has become an obvious failure, some commentators are predicting Putin will replace the "special military operation" nomenclature with an actual declaration of war on Ukraine, sometime around May 9th. This means that the Russian people will fully realize they are in trouble, and that they are subject to national wartime mobilization of the entire population, this in a desperate bid to salvage something from the ashes of what they've failed to accomplish so far.

For the 100th time, I don't support Putin's war.

I just take solace in the fact we're not losing as bad as they say.

Probably because you keep lying about treating other members to the good time of you "taking a break from the thread", only to instead parachute into the thread to smugly proclaim that it wasn't a Ukrainian attack that did whatever damage was done to Russian infrastructure or military equipment this week but merely Russian incompetence.


That or essentially the constant gloating over mass civilian death and leveling of cities perpetrated by your government over a war whose reasoning you spent the first two weeks of Russian buildup trying to cover up and the rest of the time since then trying to defend.






Maybe even both. As I told you two months ago:
Just say you support Putin annexing the entirety of the country and stop wasting everyone's time.

Something already out of stock, something still in decent quantity. Looks like they dont use Kalibr and Iskander anymore, mostly x101 and Tochka-U.
 
Holy. ****.
Also posted it in the cursed social media thread from the Times of Israel. There is no evidence that Hitler is Jewish (nobody on his mother's side is Jewish) and the rumor of Jewish ancestry comes from the unknown paternal grandfather (the grandmother worked in a wealthy Jewish home).
 
When even Hitler is too Untermensch for you...

The rolodex of cliches and stock characters for 'evil dictator' and 'loony fascist' is being rewritten right in front of us.
 
Lavrov is a pathetic troll, but sadly he is also symptomatic of an entire country gone mad. Putin and Lavrov have succeeded in turning Russia into a post-truth society, where lies and revisionism can create whatever 'reality' suits them. But not content with that, Putin and increasingly Lavrov seem hell-bent on causing outrage and disgust, be it through their ridiculous comments, or by the horrific war crimes that they are both guilty of.

The Russian military units start pulling back after the drills. Looks like there's no invasion happening this time. I deserve some beer! :cheers:
... guess sometimes people don't know what they're talking about, huh.
 


This is a helluva route they have to fly. Probably uses three times as much fuel as previously. And note that the dotted lines aren't accurate routes - they have to make it to Armenia's border before continuing through Iran, and over the Caspian they have to skirt the edge of Azerbaijani airspace all way the up to the mid point of the sea before turning west.

And how does one contradict another?
You people are so simple-minded about this. If I think the full-scale attack on Ukraine was a bad idea, why do I have to wish defeat to my country?

You don't support the invasion, I don't support it either. But we have different reasons for that. We're not the same. (c)

And my reaction to the supposed Russian troops pullback quoted by @MatskiMonk should be an evidence that I did NOT want this **** to happen.

What a hypocritical comment.
This thread is over 8 years old, and back in 2014, when there was active combat phase of the Donbass war and Ukrainian army shelled and bombed the cities it claimed its own (calling it an "anti-terrorist operation"), I haven't seen you being concerned about horrific suffering visited upon civilians by Ukrainian regime.

And do you know what happened just 8 years ago (2 May, 2014)? The mass murder in Odessa.

Brawls and clashes of Ukrainian pro-Maidan and pro-Russian (anti-Maidan) protestors resulted in a massacre, when the pro-Russian activists were blocked in the trade unions house, which was later set on fire with Molotov cocktails, and over 40 people were killed. Burned alive.

After the fire, those Maidan scumbags entered the building with cameras, and proudly filmed the burned bodies, posting their photos and videos with slur comments - "Mmm, barbecues of Odessa", "deeply fried Colorado bugs" and "oh, look, Romeo and Juliet" (near burned corpses of a young man and a woman). I remember well how Ukrainian "patriots" reacted to this auto-da-fe on Internet, how they bragged about burned "Colorado bugs" and their "hey, come join us for barbecues!".

Did Ukrainian government punish anyone for this? Yes! They arrested the survived pro-Russian protestors! According to their investigation, the anti-Maidaners have burned themselves! What about the international reaction? No sanctions on Ukraine, no outrage on the free Western media, no ****!

But for the other side, the 2 May 2014 was the point of no return. This tradegy inspired many people to join the Russian rebellion for one simple motive: revenge. And eventually this escalated into what we have now.

For me, the Odessa massacre was a watershed, too. That day was the day when I lost all the remaining respect to the Ukrainian so-called "Revolution of Diginity". So if you ask me "Rage Racer, how dare you not support Ukraine?", here's the answer. And it's just one of the reasons.

You chose your side, I chose mine. And today marks the 8 years since I firmly decided what side I am on.

Uhm...

... guess sometimes people don't know what they're talking about, huh.
Somehow you forgot to quote these parts:
So, what's going to happen?
The Russian bloggers who highlight the situation around Ukraine (one of those bloggers I read used to fight for the separatists of Donbass in 2014), the people on social media who live there, the Telegram channels of soldiers on both sides - most of them report a strong feeling that "it's going to blow soon". They believe the situation is like a powder keg that can explode any minute, within a month or two, at best. But in my humble opinion (I'm no expert, and I'm not pretending to do any predictions though) - it's just Russia's attempts to put pressure on Ukraine and NATO and force them to negotiate. If Russia seriously decided to invade Ukraine, it would do it already, instead of walking around and giving Ukraine more time to prepare.

Anyway, those Russian troops gathered around the Ukraine's border are supposed to take part in a large military exercise in Belarus that is scheduled for 10 to 20 February, and people who highlight the situation expect these days to be the deadline. When the excercise ends, the troops will step back and return to their bases...

...or not.
DISCLAIMER: I do not work in Kremlin or for Kremlin, I do not have any friends in Putin's administration or the Ministry of Defence, so I can't know for sure whether the Russian invasion of Ukraine will or will not happen. But still, I'd bet a beer that nothing is going to happen. It's not a prediction. Just an opinion of a Russian person if you want one.
I was honest about the information I had at the moment, as you can see above. How could I know for sure what was and what was not going to happen? Putin didn't phone me about whether he will or won't invade Ukraine before I posted that.
