The amount of bitching you do on this forum is unmatched my friend.

I'd strip that thing down to the bolts.

In other news, it does seem that Russians are concentrating huge forces around Kijów*

Guess they're going for all or nothing. They take the city and try to force their terms...

some comment said its a thermobaric rocket

I almost hate the word "thermobaric" as much as I hate "hypersonic"

OH man, imagine if you had a THERMOBARIC warhead on a HYPERSONIC missle. WHOA

I believe the Ukrainians must've asked everyone to stop mispronouncing the name of their capital, and the rest of the world was happy to comply.

Same thing happened a while ago when Iran asked everyone to stop calling them Persia, and when the Chinese told everyone that the preferred Romanization of their capital was Beijing and not Pekin.

Sometimes it doesn't take though. The Czechs asked everyone a few years ago to call their country Czechia instead of Czech Republic, but it hasn't taken yet.

I actually just heard of Czechia recently so I had to look it up and I’m like “oh ok, Czech Republic”

Putin's a dead man. He made a bad gamble that he could take Ukraine easily and it backfired, and now that he's jabbering about nukes, the oligarchs still there can't leave, and the rest of the Europe wouldn't let them land anyway, their stashed money is gonna get clipped.

Putin's only had as much power as he's had because the oligarchs let him. Once he's a liability for them, he'll be found hanging somewhere.




Um, yeah, military age guys are expected to stay and fight. Klitschkos, Loma, members of parliament, Usyk, effing beauty queens are grabbing guns and defending their country, and those pussies are trying to flee with women and children?




Then what? The city has 3 million people who are now pretty much all armed and the whole city is high ground.

Good luck occupying a city that doesn't want to be occupied, with 3 million armed citizens with high ground.



Lol, imagine injecting your pathetic "oh yeah, it would be worse if Grumpf was president".

You voted for a dog shit old man who's fucked up everything he's touched for over a year straight, removed our energy leverage, fucked our inflation, embarrassed the military and tried to antagonize and tough talk a nuclear power from about the weakest position the country's been in for decades.

This is my optimistic view.

Putin doesn't rule Russia. The oligarchs do, behind the scenes, like most countries. They're already being hit hard, where it matters to them.....the pocket.

I reckon Putin is killed within the next few weeks, from within Russia.

 

[Strychnine]

Yeah.. We are hearing fighting words from all over Europe.
Putin has really pissed Europe off.
I bet he never saw this coming

People are getting tired of his bu//$hit...

One bright side of this is its given the queenb account something different to post about

And of all the endless tweets posted, @Queen B's have actually been some of the best and most intriguing. Respect.

This is tragic, just because one man went crazy, the whole western world is in turmoil.

Nah, this is a springboard towards nationalism and rejuvenation. It has been galvanized. My eyes damn near got watery seeing Germany throw down a $100 billion euros on their armed forces this morning.

ahhh I see. I just saw Czechia and and I think Slovchia on a map yesterday.

The secret ingredient is FREEDOM

[Strychnine]

Dunno, but I'm starting to freak out a bit

Nah...

We're nowhere near the freak out stage yet. Take it from an old-head retired military man.

 

[nostradumbass]

You're probably right. Must just be Brandon's bad luck thst everything happens to fall apart within 13 months of his inauguration. The guy can't catch a break.

 

[Dexter]

I read that too. But then other commenters insisted that's not at all what a thermobaric explosion looks like. I have no idea.

There are three large ammunition depots in the Cherkasy region. One aviation, two with the nomenclature for cannon and rocket artillery. Minus one.

Last night I was watching the online radar, plenty of turkish air force planes were all over Slovakia.

You mean Slovenia?

That has the DNA of freedom on it

It's still being mispronounced.

Wait until you find out how Moscow and Warsaw are actually pronounced btw. Nevermind virtually every other region like Crimea (Krym), Krakow, and so on.

Agree, I have actually found @Queen B to be a solid contributor in this thread. Never thought I'd say that but...it is what it is.

If Russia started to advance into NATO territory, they wouldn't steamroll shit. The US would scramble our assets and our air and navy superiority would wreck them. They do have a strong military, but as we say in MMA...there are levels to this. The US military is scattered to a degree, but we also literally spend over 10x what Russia does annually on our military. If NATO was attacked, in conventional war the EU+America would curb stomp the Russians.

I think you guys spent $1,600 billion last year actually, compared to $50 billion in Russia haha. The American military machine is truly something else.

NATO isn't going to war though, which is why not a single member has put boots on the ground. And people continue to underestimate Russian military might, or its actions would have already been squashed with the threat of force, or the current lending of support. Don't get me wrong, I'm not tooting Putin's horn, but everyone resting on they can end Russia with force anytime they cross the line is bonkers.
