These people are making the Z sign a siege heil. It's utterly insane. The fact that the state pays for propaganda on its behalf for a kill civilians imperialist war is insanity.

https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1500353000350572547 The TASS, RIA and Interfax news agencies quoted "a representative of a competent body" in Russia on Sunday as saying Ukraine was developing nuclear weapons at the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear power plant that was shut down in 2000.

Djarum posted:Them using civilian vehicles is a VERY, VERY bad idea. They will be shredded by small arms fire. Hell that NYT article states that they just received a shipment of Barrets, which means you can have a team over a mile away disabling them basically at will. It also makes their logistical problems worse in a lot of ways. Broken fuel pump? Hope you know what year/model/variant of that civi car you got, and have all those parts on hand (you don't). It's a terrible idea, reeks of desperation and honestly I'm having a hard time believing it's gotten to this except there's videos and serious people saying it's gotten to this. It's insane.

Crosby B. Alfred posted:Any idea on the timeline when Russia will attempt to assault Kiev? They've been assaulting Kyiv since the botched airport attack on day one. Information about Ukrainian military movements is sparse, but all indications suggest that they're holding off the Russians in the north western suburbs. Last I checked, a Russian column had advanced to the north eastern outskirts, but I'd imagine they'll meet strong resistance too. The Russians could in theory bomb Kyiv to rubble, although they don't seem to have air superiority, and it also seems like maybe the artillery they should have isn't in quite the condition it should be. Also it would be pretty hard, even for the current level of Russian censorship, to hide the destruction of the origin place of the Russian people. There is speculation that the Russians may encircle Kyiv, although it's not clear that they have the numbers or the logistics to do so in the face of resistance. So it's likely they'll continue as they have been, grinding slowly away and suffering horrific losses for every inch of ground.

Can't bomb Kiev to rubble if you can get artillery shells and Grad reloads to the front line. I guess they could use the air force but this isn't WWII with thousand bomber raids and it would take an awfully long time.

It's pretty difficult to tell what will happen on a large time-scale, but I feel confident that the Russians aren't going to encircle Kyiv with Combat Mazdas. The American government at the very least has clearly set the Ukrainians up well for urban warfare with a bunch of equipment and weaponry we are only learning about now that it is in use.

As far as I understand it, russia can't fully encircle Kyiv anymore. Last I had watched it get discussed, they could still generally hold all the major roadways in and out, but that assessment is already days old and russian logistics and fighting forces aren't presently renown for being in an improving situation. They have to make a majorly observable move before that situation changes. I can only assume putin wants a major assault. If they're going to take the city, it's going to be part of an operation that we'll hear about in advance.

I really hope that Putin video is CGI by the way. It might be a stretch, but he is hilariously far apart from other people whether it's due to Covid or assassination fears. If he has done this in response to the ridicule, also that stronk man can't be scared of girls, it shows him responding in a defensive and insecure way.

How long is the mud typically supposed to hold out? I'm starting to be hopeful that russia is going to collapse in on itself at some point, and be forced into some degree of retreat, but I'm also concerned that once even lovely tires can handle the off road situation Ukraine might have a tougher go of things and russia might murk enough failson yes-man generals to get competent leadership back in charge.

Metaphors, imagery etc often looks weird in other languages but I thought it worked well. It's something unlikely but catastrophic, the analysis would of course then include bad consequences, which he then absurdly gets pressured into making look good, which then becomes the basis of holy gently caress they're actually doing it.
