Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Parabellum08: When I was in Kyiv in the winter of 2014, I had a few beers with a local guy who worked as a photojournalist in Donbas from the beginning. He showed me an unpublished set of pictures, that I still have never seen elsewhere, from earlier that year, not long after the start of the war. The pictures showed a clearing outside of some woods full of dead Ukrainian soldiers, lined up relatively neatly, as if they had been lined up and shot. Most of the corpses displayed some charring as well. He told me “the death toll is worse than the UN says it is.” Ukr was getting their asses handed to yhem until Azov and Right Sektor formed their militias. They were more than likely the people who were fighting for Ukr in Mariupol. The media downplaying the situation is the reason 14000 casualties were remembered on the wall in Ukraine. That monument is more than likely destroyed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Croak: Ukraine is fighting both an invasion and a civil war. So Sherman's quote is very applicable to the current conflict in Ukraine, especially regarding white armbands. Emphasis mine. And this next quote is applicable for, well, you should know who ya'll are: Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Croak: War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace. But you cannot have peace and a division of our country. Ukraine is fighting both an invasion and a civil war. So Sherman's quote is very applicable to the current conflict in Ukraine, especially regarding white armbands. Emphasis mine. And this next quote is applicable for, well, you should know who ya'll are: I confess, without shame, I am sick and tired of fighting—its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands and fathers ... tis only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated ... that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. You are ABSOLUTELY wrong to say this is a civil war. That is a Kremlin " Russian speakers" talking point and the "separatists " are made up of SOME Ukrainian communists backed for decades by the Kremlin, Russian citizens and military inserted in, and communists from about a dozen countries. |

Who had radioactive wild fires for 2022?
Forest fires have broken out in the exclusion zone around the Chornobyl nuclear power plant because of combat actions. More than 10,000 hectares of forests are burning, which may cause increased levels of radioactive air pollution.Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova wrote this on Facebook, Ukrinform reports. Fire control and extinguishing is impossible due to the seizure of the exclusion zone by Russian troops, she wrote. As a result of combustion, radionuclides are released into the atmosphere, which are transported by wind over long distances, which threatens radiation to Ukraine, Belarus and European countries. Due to windy and dry weather, the severity and area of fires will grow, which can lead to large-scale fires, which are difficult to deal with even in peacetime. Denisova warned that the flames could engulf spent nuclear fuel storage facilities and nuclear waste storage facilities located in the Chornobyl zone. She called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to "send experts and firefighting equipment to Ukraine as soon as possible to prevent irreparable consequences not only for Ukraine but for the whole world." "Catastrophic consequences can be prevented only by immediate de-occupation of the territory by Russian troops. Therefore, I call on international human rights organizations to take all possible measures to increase pressure on the Russian Federation to end military aggression against Ukraine and de-occupy high-risk areas," she wrote. |

I think sq40s point was that the propaganda value of the difference of the photos is pretty good. Putin comes off as aloof and afraid of his own men, while Biden comes off as a friendly grandfather unafraid of his men. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Balu: Agreed. It sucks that it may have to come to that but if their ideology is left to fester after this war yet again, they will never accept peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. Just like there has not been any peace while the USSR was empire building and even after its fall the Russians kept stirring up pretext for war everywhere they went, followed by invasions. Ichkeria, Afghanistan, Abkhazia, S. Ossetia, Georgia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Crimea, and now the whole of Ukraine. They already stated that after Ukraine they have their eyes on Moldova, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Gotland island, Finland and Sweden. Russian expansionist aggression and the ideology driving it must be utterly destroyed. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Balu: Originally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By Balu: Russian imperialism, Russism, the ideology of Russian supremacy, Pan-Slavism, and glorification of the USSR must be eliminated completely or there will never be peace in that region. Russia has a shameful history of barbaric violence as the primary means to build an empire. Once they lose this war and they are crushed economically, the entire rotten Russist culture must be dismantled and erased just like Nazism was in Germany and Japanese Imperialism was in Japan. Winston Churchill had a turn of phrase that I always loved. “…now at this very moment I knew the United States was in the war up to the neck and in to the death. So we had won after all! England would live; Britain would live; the Commonwealth of Nations and the Empire would live. How long the war would last or in what fashion it would end, no man could tell, nor did I at this moment care. once again in our long Island history we should emerge, however mauled or mutilated, safe and victorious. We should not be wiped out. Our history would not come to an end. We might not even have to die as individuals. Hitler’s fate was sealed. Mussolini’s fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder. . All the rest was merely the proper application of overwhelming force…United we could subdue everybody else in the world. Many disasters, immeasurable cost and tribulation lay ahead, but there was no more doubt about the end.” It took near-annihilation followed by a significant degree of magnanimity to remake the Japanese nation. I do not hate the Russian people and believe we can live together in mutual peace and prosperity, but sadly they may have to be ground to powder first. Agreed. It sucks that it may have to come to that but if their ideology is left to fester after this war yet again, they will never accept peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. Just like there has not been any peace while the USSR was empire building and even after its fall the Russians kept stirring up pretext for war everywhere they went, followed by invasions.

They already stated that after Ukraine they have their eyes on Moldova, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Gotland island, Finland and Sweden. Russian expansionist aggression and the ideology driving it must be utterly destroyed. The world is just too small now for expansionist adventurism and empire building. The borders of the world may change, but we really need to rip out the root regimes that have caused so much suffering. |

Just like our fore fathers, the idea was not to get caught. nothing good happens to those that get caught. The J6 protesters are treated by congress and Fed Govt as insurrectionists. RIP Ashley Babbitt. Another shit-tier 2022er post. If you knew the history of the Donetsk/Luhansk 'separatists' you'd know it's a Russian operation. It wasn't led, created, or escalated by Ukrainians. The Russians are using people in those areas. They aren't fighting for their freedom, quite the opposite. They're fighting to be slaves of the new USSR. |

You had a job and you did it. Atleast you don’t pose something your not. A effective fighting force takes all of us. Carry on 👍 Yeah, we all signed on the line but you combat guys paid a much higher price for your service than us POG's. You can get in front of me at the line at V.A. any day. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By slapdaddy: Don't know how long this one will be up. I'm posting this mostly for the romantics that think this shit is so cool. It's not, and this is how bad things are getting. The laws of land warfare we pretend to care about so much, mean next to nothing when two sides hate each other this much. This is what it comes to. Draw whatever conclusion you like. Kid gloves are off |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GreenMushroom: Assuming the video shows what it claims it's not a decision it's an emotional reaction and a lapse in discipline. Russian propaganda will run with it and it plays right into the paranoid battered wife victim mentality of the Russians. They need to grit their teeth and throw an arm around their Russian "brothers" shoulders for the camera. They can take them for a walk right after if that suits them.

You have the luxury of opining that way because you’re sitting in the cheap seats. You can moralize all you want because it’s not your ass on the line or your people suffering. Russians will invent the propaganda to that effect whether it happens or not. Their idiot citizenry believes the Nazi narrative. I have no problem with them greasing collaborators. |

Seems early though. Do the B3's have APS? ETA Iron Fist has that same puff of smoke.  Iron Fist Light Active Protection System (APS) ETA2 fixed acronym.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: Lot of focus on Kalingrad recently.

It’s mostly been over the Black Sea the last few days. There’s also been an NATO AWACS up over Romania all day too. Lot of focus on Kalingrad recently. Wonder what's up It could be that if Russia was stupid enough to try to attack NATO directly as they recently threatened to do, most likely things would start happening around Kaliningrad beforehand. |

Were our founders trying to separate from an independent US to rejoin Great Britain? Actually, a more direct comparison to the russian seperatists would have been the british loyalists. They fled the nation after the war for good reason. |

Wonder what's up It's sad that Koenigsberg was ethnically cleansed after WWII. I say make Kaliningrad Koenigsberg again, but there's nobody to restore it to. Maybe set it up as a neutral, demilitarized zone with free travel? |
