Russia is bombing the shit out of Ukraine !!

Where did they get the equipment? NK, SA? You know Russians didn't have that shit.

[quote]It’s retaliation for the bridge .

What did he expect?

Iran 👆🏼

R1 wtf? You think RUSSIA doesn’t have missiles? How fucking stupid are you?

R4 the stateof their military leads me to think NO. If they had them why did they get them from Iran?

Anyone else think Putin is just getting started?

Is r6 jerking off while typing?

Already being discussed on the existing Ukraine threads.

Kanye gets top story on Drudge over Ukraine?!

R5 Russia literally parades its missiles through the streets. It has hundreds of nuclear missiles. You think a few cruise missiles are beyond its capabilities or resources?

Drudge still exists? I don't know why I find that surprising.

The bombing was already being planned [italic] before [/italic] the damage to the bridge (according to Ukraine). The subsequent explosion at the bridge was just a convenient excuse. This from AlJazeera's current live feed:

"Russia had been planning Monday’s missile strikes on Ukrainian cities since the start of October, Ukraine’s defence ministry has claimed.

“According to the military intelligence of Ukraine, the Russian occupying forces received instructions from the Kremlin to prepare massive missile strikes on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine on October 2 and 3,” the intelligence arm of the ministry said in a statement.

“The military units of the strategic and long-range aviation received orders to prepare for the task of massive missile attacks. The objects of critical civil infrastructure and the central areas of densely populated Ukrainian cities were identified as targets.”

Time to blow up what's left of the Kerch bridge.

Russia is not playing today . Don’t underestimate Putin . He may be ruthlessly evil, but he’s not stupid . He’s pretty strategic and calculating .

R14 He's neither a good strategist (a good tactician, yes, which is different) nor smart. He's out of his depth and this whole invasion was stupid. Russia is going to emerge from this a lot weaker than they were before.

I hope so ☝🏼.

R14, if he targeted airport websites with his cyberattack, he's pretty dumb.

It could be a test run r17

Calm the fuck down R10. You are WAY too invested in your daddy pootie's displays. Those could be dummy missiles on parade, dingus.

Bump 💣

R12 I'm dubious and wouldn't necessarily believe that. The Ukrainians won't want to demoralize people by thinking that these bombings were as a result of the Crimea bridge attack.

Anyone whom thinks Putin will stop now is an idiot

Getting realer

Russia has always paraded missiles through its streets. Even before Putin. So I wouldn't be calling people a "dingus," R19. Rather risky to assume their missiles could be dummies too. They're most likely not going by their history.

You have to have working guidance and launch systems for all those missiles to be of any use.

Which they have, R25.

Someone is too vested in making us think Russia is more dangerous than they are. How do you know what Russia has or doesn't have R26? Judging from their disarray and equipment they are a paper tiger and it been long rumored that their nukes are missing parts.

[quote]Anyone whom thinks Putin will stop now is an idiot

Oh, dear.

R27, why are you so convinced that Russia is losing bigly? Putin is a world war 2 buff and knows what he is doing . I have said don’t underestimate this guy . NATO won’t let Ukraine in because they don’t want war with Russia

R29 That's contrary to what a lot of experts think. They say that the Ukrainians can win this within a year. Crimea may take longer but Russia is fucked and can't win this.

Why do you think putin is winning bigly R29? So far I'm unimpressed with Russian forces not to mention the atrocities committed. Russians have revealed themselves to be rabid, murderous pieces of shit.

R27 Yes, Putin and the trolls want us to think that because it's all Putin has left. He wants people to become so afraid that they back down and give him what he wants. Hence all the nuclear talk and the terrorizing missiles which had absolutely no military purpose.

Russia is fucked one way or another. R29 is likely Svetlana at a troll factory.

Well , duh

Ukraine was able to shoot down about half the missiles.

WW3 is far more probable now

Bump

[quote] Someone is too vested in making us think Russia is more dangerous than they are.

Russians always have a very vested interested in making sure other people think they are (tougher, smarter, insert any number of complimentary adjectives) than they actually are. They are a boastful people by nature it seems.

Hold me, David ...

What’s he going to do about it . NATO needs to accept Ukraine

[quote]WW3 is far more probable now

WW3 is now.

Very possibly true 👆🏼

I feel like the best hope is for some of Putin's own people to take him out to put an end to this.

Why am I "too vested," R27? I simply stated that no one has any idea if the missiles are real or not and it would be foolish to make assumptions. Your post is American narcissism at its finest. America has been made to look like fools before in under estimating the military capabilities of other nations. It seems you never learn. You're not the only country in the world with missiles..

No shit Sherlock@ R45. You're still too invested. Look what Russian narcissism has gotten them. Getting their ass kicked, that's what.

Much like America did in Vietnam and 9/11, R46? You sound so angry and infantile.

R47 Hey Natasha, sorry but Russia is still losing and will lose. BTW, this is an Ukrainian-run war, not an American-run war so your argument sucks. The Americans are great at providing material support though.

I don’t think Russia is losing like the media is portraying

R49 Who is making advances and who is having to retreat? Go have a look at the maps.

You're also good at carpet bombing brown children for oil, R48.

R51 Am not American, Natasha.

Lol R47 I'm not angry at all. You are though. Yes, Vietnam was a fiasco but we're not discussing that war. We are talking about Russia getting their ass kicked.

Someone's angry and infantile and it's not me.😆

I'm assuming all the better trolls were drafted and we are left with the likes of R47.

Lol r54

Bomb bump

Well, we really don't know what's going on there. Good people on both sides, and a few bad actors. What's for sure is that Russia would never have done this if Sleepy Joe wasn't in the White House. If they did it.

R44 is a dumbass, a blocked dumbass

R53, don't you know: Everything that Russia is doing is justified because American did something at some point in time. Russians are pathetic.

.....

......

I already had r44 blocked so I don’t know what they posted, but it’s assuredly asinine.

Will there be a moment of peacefulness after this or more retaliation or escalation ?

I told you all weeks ago that the militarists were going to win this war. They always do and all I got was Russia lover and troll. It could have been avoided by Ukraine agreeing not to join NATO. But DL is rife with suckers.

R64, like hell Russia is winning this war.

Ukraine DID agree to not join NATO but Putin still invaded, which says it all about that stupid theory.

Ah, r64 is good for blocking.

Well, taking into account that Ukraine has been committing atrocious war crimes in the areas they have retaken (read the article below) and then, have started targetting infrastructure within Russia (by the way, Crimea was Russian until 1954, when Khrushchev annexed it to Ukraine), isn't this normal? Especially if we take into account that the massacres of ethnic Russians started as early as 2012 and the war in Donbas exploded in 2014 without any Russian intervention at all, I would say that the Kremlin has ben EXTREMELY patient.

The US devastated all civillian infrastructure within the first few hours of declaring war on Irak and Afghanistan, and they've targeted basic infrastructure in Somalia and Syria. Russia, on the other hand, hasn't taken any steps until Ukraine has started engaging in terrorist attacks. I think it has taken them long enough and if they had adopted a much more aggressive stance, this war would have ended much sooner and with many less casualties on both sides, civilian and otherwise.

Yes, r64, you’re clueless. You think you can spout lies and we will all say huh. Instead, you’ve been proven to be a liar and a dolt. And yes, a Russia lover and troll. I’ve blocked every troll on these threads but I haven’t blocked you, which means you’re clearing your cookies and posting again. No worries, just another block of a Pooty puss.

[quote] The US devastated all civillian infrastructure within the first few hours of declaring war on Irak

Irak? Boris, you need to study English a little more.

R70, I don’t know how these trolls can look at themselves in the mirror. Russia is the world king of sneak attacks on their enemies. I guess the vodka fog blurs things enough to get them through the day.

you dummies must be invested in weapons makers because they are the winners.

Bump

R69 I said Militarists will win this war not Russians Because Militarists exist on both sides so in case you didn't block me read the words more carefully before you get all stropy. Here is another opportunity to understand English, try this sentence. Go fuck yourself

From the Wilson Center. This is what they'll probably snag from the war - the blue part, historically called "New Russia."

So four more oblasts. Crimea + the present 4 + 4 more.

R75 No they won't, Natasha. I know that you're trained to say that black is white and that white is black but this is not convincing to anyone remotely informed who has been following this. The Ukrainians will fight back to the end and why wouldn't they given all the horrific and disgusting crimes that the Russians have committed against them? Even you as a paid troll with no morals should be able to recognise that.

I hope this isn't the end result =

A guy was just arrested in Norway for being a Russian spy.

Afghan commandos who had been trained by Allied forces to fight the Taliban are now being recruited by Russia to fight in Ukraine.

Up to 30,000 members of the elite National Army Commando Corps were abandoned by the West when the country fell to the hardline Islamist group last year.

Now, the US-trained light infantry force that fought side by side with allied troops for nearly 20 years could be joining Vladimir Putin's savage war effort.

It is believed the shadowy Wagner Group is behind the recruitment drive, exploiting the jobless commandos.

An ex-official told Foreign Policy: 'I am telling you [the recruiters] are Wagner Group. They are gathering people from all over.

[The Afghan commandos] would be better used by Western allies to fight alongside Ukrainians. They don't want to fight for the Russians; the Russians are the enemy. But what else are they going to do?'

Many say they have been contacted via WhatsApp and Signal with offers to join the Russian 'foreign legion' in Ukraine.

Senior military and security officials in Afghanistan fear as many as 10,000 soldiers could be tempted to join, because they have 'nothing to lose'.

Only a few hundred senior officers were evacuated by the US in the dramatic withdrawal from Kabul in August 2021.

Many Afghan soldiers fled to neighbouring countries and others went into hiding fearing reprisals from the Taliban for their loyalty to the collapsed government and the West.

The commandos were honed by US Navy Seals and the British SAS, with a staggering £80billion spent on their training by the US.

An ex-security official said their call-up to Ukraine would be a 'game-changer' in Putin's faltering war.

Last year, Rep. Michael McCaul warned abandoning the commandos could prove to be a costly mistake by the US as they could be recruited for adversary armies.

Are they gonna fight with bows and arrows

Since the start of the war, Russia has launched 4,500 missile strikes against Ukraine and carried out more than 8,000 air raids. President Zelenskyy said in a video address.

Powerful image of Zelenskyy tonight in a Kyiv without light and next to a Iranian drone.

Thinking back on it the US prioritized taking out the Serbian and Iraqi power grids at the beginning of those war. I wonder why Putin delayed so long.

Look at who the freedom fighters that are "defending" Ukraine are... War criminals, sadists, violent neo-nazis and degenerates, all financed by anti-Semitic Polish organizations and the US government!

Bombing the shit out of cities, residential areas and infrastructure is what the always do. They did it in Syria too, but the US and the UN did little against it because the were killing brown people.

R83 - Obvious troll spotted. Posts a link to a crappy Youtube video and is spewing Russian propaganda. F&F.

Obvious CIA bot spotted @R85. Trying to deny the ample evidence there is regarding the war crimes perpetrated by Ukrainian Nazis and the mercenaries who support them, as well as their involvement with US government-funded think tanks and anti-Semitic, profascist troll farms like NAFO.

R86 Posting The Grayzone. F&F.

[quote]The Grayzone is known for misleading reporting and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes, in addition to its denial of human rights abuses against Uyghurs. The Grayzone has published conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria and other regions, as well as pro-Russian propaganda during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

R83, R86 How many rubles or potatoes did you get for posting those posts? Helped you get to your quota for the day but nobody sane buys it. Why bother? You're going to go down in history as being one of the bad ones. On the wrong side, working for the wrong side - and helping to screw over your own country in the process.

Why FF the gaslighting Putin-licker upthread when you can just block him? He has nothing to contribute other than transparent pro-Russian propaganda.

Get off my watched list counter Ms Blocked R89!

President Zelenskyy held a meeting with U.S. Senators Christopher Coons and Robert Portman.
