Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
Ukrainians hit a Russian fuel depot with artillery
A Russian media outlet posted the below video showing that large amounts of the tanks were still intact.
You'll never guess what happened the next evening? :lol:

That's like BBC News telling the Argentinians why their bombs weren't exploding during the Falklands War.

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
U.S. privately asks Ukraine to show it’s open to negotiate with Russia
So 'privately' that it's in the Washington post?
Wonder whether the funds will fall off a clif if the Orange one gets in the White House? Maybe that's what Putin's end game is?

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
Even the Republicans taking a majority in the senate could put pressure on it.
Showing that it is not an unlimited tap of funding will help in that regard.
In other news, looks like the Russian blood for time is working. Plenty reports of mobilised troops getting hammered but it is definitely delaying Ukrainian advances.
Will be interesting to see where the lines settle as not much campaigning time left.

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
Oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, boss of the Wagner Group and one of the bods behind the troll farms talking about Russian interference in US elections past and current.
“We have interfered, we are interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do." He added: “During our pinpoint operations, we will remove both kidneys and the liver at once.”

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
China getting tooled up to go and bash Taiwan. Wonder if the Ukraine invasion was part of their plans all along, knowing that the west would be tied up financing and equipping them against Russia?

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
I'd of thought that they had their eye on what happended, but given the resistance of the Ukrainians to the russian armed forces, it might have given them pause for thought.dasnutnock3 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 1:42 pm China getting tooled up to go and bash Taiwan.

Be interesting to know what sort of reserves the US have in terms of SAMS and AT missiles, as Ukrain must have drained quite a bit of stock

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
Either Putin goes all out with missile strikes or pulls out trying to save as much face as possible surely?

Some crash this to completely rip the car in two. Stroke of luck for the guy that died in fairness as I think he was due to fall out of his window next week.

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine
Russians likely to hunker down - best hope is that somehow a start is made with regards to peace talks, although that stills seems pretty far off. Still, let's enjoy the Russians getting their butts kicked while we can.
