They don't specify numbers and it wouldn't be crazy for a couple vehicle crews to bug the gently caress out if shits gone south in their location. So yeah maybe its true but if its just like 1 or two vehicles then its not a huge deal.

Bullfrog posted:There are seemingly a lot of African users in the replies to Ukraine officials tweet saying they will fight for Ukraine. I can't vouch for authenticity but there's a notable amount of them. Is there some kind of affinity between people in Africa and Ukraine or is this just normal, offbeat international internet stuff? A Somali I know via work says that there's a tradition going back to the USSR of Somalis going to Kyiv Uni to become doctors. So at any given time there might be five Somali med students in Kyiv. Don't think that's what's underlying this but a cool story.

These reports of Russian soldiers getting their asses kicked are heartening. I hope the Ukrainian forces are feeling bolstered and determined. Every Russian soldier dropped into the dirt is a blow against Putin and fascism. I hope Russian soldiers start to understand that they don't have to take part in this ghoulish imperial war. Mutiny, shoot your officers.

I mean I can also think of reasons why in general there might be quite a few people from African countries who aren't that keen on colonial invasions. Kenyan UN ambassador says it far better then I could: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/22/1082334172/kenya-security-council-russia Not saying it's the reason, but yeah it's definitely been brought up.

I think CNN got far away once they realized what was going on (originally they asked the troops where the Russians were, as they didn't recognize them, and they replied "we are the Russians" -- or osmething like that).

This feels really surreal, like big conventional wars like this just aren't supposed to be a thing anymore. Especially driving around my home area, seeing normal peaceful life going on while a continent away people my age are fighting to the death.

Not going to count the chickens at this point, no way, but I do agree with the point that a lot of people seem to underestimate how much people in the West and the world over value democracy, warts and all, and how hard they'll fight for their freedom. It's what gives me hope in the face of Putin and Xi's global vision of illiberal democracy and global autocracy.
