Still don't care. If his comment is worth responding to, it will get responses. So far he's posted the exact same thing twice. The second time he tagged 10 people. It's immature. Feel free to encourage him. Quote a collection of Russian supporters. Syria, Eritrea, North Korea, BElarus. I see very little coverage of the fact that today's peace talks were postponed. That's terrible news. I suspect Russia wants to bomb the cities more and try to build leverage. Thats what Nixon did with his savage Christmas bombing campaign. But it worked for him, not sure it will now. 3 minutes ago, aristocrat said: Looks like Putin losing the Oligarchs.

Russian nationalists think they are invincible, that nothing actually bad will happen, and this is the start of a new golden age. When someone takes a rosy view of a situation, that's alright. When their view of a complex issue is "my side will get everything it wants and win forever"...yeah. Russia thought the exact same thing when it entered WWI. 1

Just for your edification, if you want to know why people with knowledge of these type of things are surprised at your suggestions regarding a no fly zone, you can be educated here: The guy on the left is an F-14 RIO, (back seater), and accomplished author. The guy on the right is from the same background as me, A7's to F-18's. Both did the entire career thing. They kind of know what they're talking about.

Me about yours, not so much. I am under no obligation to react to you 1

I will try to include others since you do not care to back up your opinions. let me quote DC TOM you’re an idiot
SCBills Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 We’re led to believe that these Russian soldiers are 18-19 year old conscripts that had no idea what they were sent to do… Not ideal..

Isn’t this bad for Ukraine though? They really want the soldiers from an army that outnumbers them ten to one fighting HARDER?

They really want the soldiers from an army that outnumbers them ten to one fighting HARDER? Its bad for everyone. I have no idea why they’d make this statement. A) It’s a war crime B) It will be used by military leaders, for sure, to convince the hesitant soldiers that they better fight C) I’m sure, like the Azov Battalion/Nat Guard tweet.. it’s plastered all over Russian media for the citizens to see Edited March 2, 2022 by SCBills
Tiberius Posted March 2, 2022 Author Posted March 2, 2022 Peace protesters are such unsung heroes. With so many unemployed wouldn't be surprised if this leads somewhere
L Ron Burgundy Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 I'm about a 6 hour drive from Ukraine now, getting most of my news from Polish sources. This may be common knowledge but man Putin has got to be embarrassed. Young soldiers who were told they were going on an exercise, running out of fuel, having to steal food because their MREs are too old. Heard today some Russian soldiers may be damaging their own gear to not fight.

Doesn't make sense. Russian soldiers should be encouraged to surrendered and welcomed with open arms. 2 minutes ago, L Ron Burgundy said: I'm about a 6 hour drive from Ukraine now, getting most of my news from Polish sources.
