And now we're getting to Call of Duty cutscenes.  Dead bodies, wounded solider. https://twitter.com/markito0171/status/1500412549732438017?s=20&t=GUimC9ffa4rxTZXZj9LQSw To answer your next question: quote:A bunch of things, mostly: come on friend, crawl! get here! Your grads are going to fall soon. What they hell are you doing here? Training? Well train to crawl friend! Looks like a pretty simple ambush site. Dig a fox hole, add some tree branches and wait for the next Russian truck to drive past.

At first, this looks like a major loss to the Ukrainians, a weapons depot in Kherson in Russian hands... https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1500293815940304896?s=20&t=XCig1GvJVw4U7vFZ5vv6Ww Turns out they took the base within the first 48 hours of the invasion, giving them a week to setup however they wanted to show, most of the equipment has been sitting in the open for several years https://twitter.com/Prof_Molerat/status/1500196991799803908?s=20&t=XCig1GvJVw4U7vFZ5vv6Ww

FWIW:Tagesschau posted:[Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser] called the European cooperation in caring for Ukrainian refugees historic. "For the first time, all EU states are taking in war refugees together. I hope that this solidarity will also help us in the next steps towards a common asylum system," said Faeser. This was/is a major issue during the Syrian civil war, due to several countries using refugees to extract political concessions or just not lifting a finger, despite the number of people arriving being absolutely trivial if every EU country did a little bit. Having tanks rolling across a neighbouring country may give some impetus to actually properly formalise a proper system and implement it. Because 10 million displaced Ukrainians are kind of a lot.

quote:The problem, however, is that splits such as those shown above are at the heart of Putin’s dominance of domestic politics. People who are critical of Putin enthusiastically swear at each other and accumulate grievances. For some «liberals» it turns out that you cannot vote for Alexei Navalny because he once went to nationalist rallies. Neither can you back the Communist Party of the Russian Federation — because they are «Stalinists.» Nor must you endorse the «New People» — because they supported the recognition of the DPR and LPR. Or Yabloko — because it is a leader’s party. Another write off now could be Roman Yuneman — because he supports the army in this war, etc. This list could be endless. The conditional «leftists» have their own similar list — someone is accused of the collapse of the USSR, another of religiosity, and so the contrary, of moving away from «traditional Russian religiosity,» that is, of atheism. https://ridl.io/en/by-invading-ukraine-putin-exacerbated-the-split-in-russian-society/ through a glass, darkly

Special provisions for immediate work permits to Ukrainian refugees have already been agreed on by parliament in Denmark. There is a massive labor shortage, and I'm pretty sure agriculture and business lobbyist are rubbing their hands right now. I also learned yesterday that several municipalities on the North Sea coast of Jutland have sizable Ukrainian minority communities. https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/vestjylland-kan-forvente-mange-flygtninge-ukrainere-bor-taet-sammen-i-landsbyer

The optics of Ukrainian refugees being almost entirely women, children and foreigners, with fighting age men going the other direction, from EU into Ukraine, is already a talking point on Twitter and I imagine will impact refugee politics in coming months and years. Edit: in libowning "don't you dare accusing Vyšegrad countries of racism" ways specifically

I am still not seeing it as likely. It won't be a paper bag test as governmental policy, but I do think it may well end up like that.

Coquito Ergo Sum posted:Certainly nice for the units re: not having to be glued to the main weapon, but you also don't have the TOW problem of smoke from the outgoing rocket obscuring your sight line. My understanding is that the operator watches a tv screen on his control unit, and the image is based on daytime or night camera on the tripod? In which case it doesn't matter, smoke can still temporarily obscure the camera. But then I suppose it also offers the possibility that the operator might as well be in a bunker safe from retaliation, no need for line of sight to target? (Although then you lose situational awareness.)

Small White Dragon posted:FWIW, a number of Japanese people I know believe Russia still has some islands that belong to them. So there's definitely even some modern beef. Fun fact, formally Russia and Japan haven't made peace after WW2. The war formally ended in 1956 (yes, 11 years later) by a joint declaration that re-established diplomatic relations between USSR and Japan, but a formal peace treaty has still not been signed.
