Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 6

I think he's doing a really good job eliminating Nazis at present.

Once Ukraine is in NATO and EU any real Nazis will be sent to prison or rehabilitated.

Witnesses: Eddie Gallagher shot civilians in Iraq

But no one saw him pull the trigger.

10 years for Army sniper for killing Iraqi civilian

A U.S. Army sniper convicted of killing an unarmed Iraqi civilian and planting evidence on his body was sentenced Sunday to 10 years in prison.

Oh, they saw their platoon chief gun down civilians but never saw him pull the trigger? Yet they were specialised Navy Seals trained to observe? I call BS.

So there are consequences of 10 years in jail then? Why weren't more convicted and sentenced if it was the norm in Iraq? Incomplete comparison fallacy again.

One that deals with Nazis accordingly. Considering that he banned opposition parties and some newspapers, shouldn't be that hard.

Would you have dissolved Wagner and arrested Prigozhin then?

The country activated State of Emergency and banned Russia leaning political parties. Putin on the other hand...

IntelBrief: Russia’s Sham Referendums and Illegal Annexation in Ukraine Escalate Conflict to Dangerous New Phase - The Soufan Center

Following a series of widely criticized referendums, Russia is illegally annexing four southeastern Ukrainian territories: Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin will deliver

Soufan is not much of a fan of the sham referendums. Doesn't seem to think Zelensky is a puppet either, calling him a president.

The Yanks are sending some decent anti-drone and other AD systems.

The US is sending ‘Vampire’ weapons to hunt drones in Ukraine

The Vampire weapon system is designed to go in different types of vehicles, and it uses small missiles to take out drones. Here's how.

www.popsci.com

VAMPIRE is the headlining system, which combines a sensor with an anti-drone missile launcher that can mount on a range of vehicles, but it’s hardly the only counter-drone system in the package.

Beyond an unspecified number of VAMPIRE systems, the August 24 announcement included six additional National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, a kind of anti-air missile system already in use in Ukraine, along with ammunition to match. The package includes laser-guided rocket systems, confirmed to be Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II rockets, which have been tested against drones.

The drones included are Pumas and Scan Eagles, which can be launched without runways and give forces on the ground a better sense of where enemies and their artillery are.

As Admiral Yamamoto allegedly wrote: "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve."

Shifting goals again Cupcake? You asked and received. Still waiting for you...

Seems like the Americans dealt with this issue i.e. via the courts. They occupied Iraq from 2003 to 2011 and still have 2,500 troops there now. So relatively very few incidents. On the other hand the Russians massacred people in Bucha after several months. And not just in a sudden shooting during operations but execution style with torture.

I still like the fact that a dude with a barret can now effectively kill Russian tanks.

Do you mean a .50 Barret sniper rifle? It won't take out a tank but it's possible yet difficult with a BMP if an armour piercing round is aimed between the wheels from the side where the driver sits where the armour is thin. You shouldn't call all tracked vehicles tanks. Start learning the differences if you want to comment on a war thread.

Paul has gone full OrcBot, pointless trying to get him to change his fake opinions for the truth.

@Paulsie always was full orcbot. He had a thin veneer of respectability most saw through. He's abandoned that now and showing his Stockholm Syndrome ingrained from his former communist masters while living the life of capitalism with all the luxury trappings and freedoms of the West. It has to be a schizophrenic existence.

Tell me how you prove someone is a Nazi?

Two pilots dead after Russian jet crashes into house in Siberia

Two pilots dead after Russian jet crashes into house in Siberia

The incident comes days after a military jet crashed into a block of flats in the Russian town of Yeysk near Ukraine, killing more than a dozen people, including children.

Oh dear. The Russian Air Force is now a bigger threat to Russian civilians than it is to the Ukrainian army.

Nothing surprises anymore. It could have been Polonium or nerve agent if not the barrel of a gun.

The more Russia escalates the war, the worse it will get for them. They just don't seem to have the capacity to realise it.

 

[TEXTILE GUY]

He's trolling me. He gets a perverse pleasure from it like someone does when killing or hurting small animals. The cowardly type who feels free to do it anonymously from behind a keyboard but would quiver if you confronted them face to face. The internet has exposed the worst in some people.

Or, could be a bit like this family ..............
