No, but it was likely a part of the Ukrainian counter offensive on March 8th that took out about 400 Russian soldiers and obligated the Russians to withdraw the 25th Motorized Rifle Brigade back to Belgorod for rebuilding. 11 minutes ago, danfrodo said: This is either wonderful and true, or a very clever lie. But either way it's gonna get FSB folks scared and non-FSB folks wanting some purges. Either way, it's making me happy. This has been rumored for a few days and isn't too surprising.

I'm more disgusted by what the Russians are ACTUALLY DOING than a poster wishing death on the invaders. In fact, I pretty much feel they are getting what they deserve too, human beings or not. At some point, those that are killing innocents deserve killing themselves. I really don't feel bad for them, sorry. Human beings make decisions and those decisions have consequences.

At that moment if you haven't realized you have committed a war crime, someone needs to point it out to you. Hopefully permanently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steppenwulf Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) The MiGs - why doesn't UKR buy them from Poland? On the credit card perhaps, but who cares given the advantage that 2 squadrons would make to UKRs war effort. This is a perfectly feasible work around and surely would have been considered if the reasons provided against are genuine. That's why I strongly suspect that there's some other reason that underpins the ostensible objections.

db_zero Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 All these captured Russian soldier talking ill of the invasion and Putin, some saying they want to overthrow him. Now you have to wonder if Putin will have a batch of sarin cupcakes for these soldiers when they return. Feel bad for them. Talk about caught between a rock and a hard space, especially if any ceasefire agreement Ptuin demands they be sent back to Russia for "processing". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db_zero Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I’m in no way condoning Russian attacks on civilians or civilian targets but the way the Russians control information and the fact that many troops below the rank of officers are issued maps, it’s possible that grunts operating weapons like artillery are just given coordinates to fire at and have no idea of what’s on the receiving end. It’s appears many are making judgments based on their western mindset where information is free, open and accurate. In many places information is highly controlled and restricted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal judgement is, if that happens the gloves are off and NATO will begin bombing the crap out of these bastards.

They'll suffer/allow a radiological incident or the like to occur and do nothing except more sanctions and lots of stern tellings off in the media . The Ukrainians really are on their own here it seems to me . We are happy to feed them certain categories of weapons and look after the refugees ... buts that's it . I would be happy to be proven wrong . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
