ZombieCrew posted:I thought i saw Belarus announce that they are going to send in troops with russia. Are they opening a new front or being sent to the current frontlines? TBH it's not clear if Lukashenka is even sending troops to participate in the war. Lukashenka's statements have been vague on what he actually ment. Some of them sounds like he is just moving around troops near Belarus' borders. The Guardian have just published a decent article about this. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/12/alexander-lukashenko-belarus-russia-ukraine-war-putin

Russia have released x-ray images of the truck that carried the bomb on the Kerch bridge, except it's a picture of a completely different truck. https://twitter.com/OAlexanderDK/status/1580088362991759360 Unrelated, a DPR representative makes it clear that Russia is planning a genocide. https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews/status/1579820810751324160

Tomn posted:Honestly, it wouldn't really surprise me if both the original inspection video and the x-ray were random bullshit pulled from somewhere to make it look like Russia is on top of things and will totally catch the saboteurs, yes sir. I dunno if either of them are worth analyzing given the uncertainty of whether they actually have anything to do with the explosion to begin with. They've totally already caught them. The explanation makes zero sense. Apparently Ukraine was able to sail tons of explosives from Odesa to Russia. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1580124884742836225 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/1...ea-bridge-blast Quoting the whole thing since it's not in article but on NYT's constant update line. quote:KYIV, Ukraine — Russia’s domestic intelligence service announced the arrest of eight people on Wednesday in connection with the weekend bombing of the bridge linking Russia to the occupied Crimean Peninsula. Five are citizens of Russia, according to the agency, the F.S.B., and the others are Ukrainian and Armenian. President Vladimir V. Putin has blamed Ukraine for the blast, which he called a “terrorist attack,” and retaliated with a barrage of missile strikes against civilian targets in Ukraine this week, killing more than 20 people.

While I would caution a bit against Meduza when they only have Russian sources, but they do here compare it what the Pentagon said 8th August reported by CNN and what the British defense minister have said. Both the numbers below was before the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv. I assume they come from their respective intelligence services. So I wouldn't dismiss it. https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-08-08-22/h_6ef3b02018b57397597a3d79e77d47f3 quote:“I think it’s safe to suggest that the Russians have probably taken 70 or 80,000 casualties in the less than six months. Now that is a combination of killed in action and wounded in action, that number might be a little lower, little higher, but I think that’s kind of in the ballpark,” Kahl said. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/vladimir-putin-ukraine-war-invasion-russia-latest-news-b1023274.html quote:Updating MPs on the conflict, Mr Wallace said: “Russia continues to lose significant equipment and personnel.

Saladman posted:Did you actually read the link in your post? It doesn't say the Nazis were trying to raise Polish children to be good Aryans. Like here: You should really do that yourself. like the article specifically goes into the details of Germans kidnapping children to Germanize them, just like Russia is doing now. And you can read more about it here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_of_children_by_Nazi_Germany

Ynglaur posted:Bolding is mine. NATO is not Europe. Europe is part of NATO. As a thought experiment, let's remove the US from NATO (as, for example, Donald Trump threatened to do). Could that version of NATO (even with Canada), defend its members adequately? I think the evidence available to us today is that it cannot. wtf are you talking about, yea it could. The combined arms of Europe is only surpassed by the U.S.

Athas posted:Do you have a source or some details on this? It doesn't make sense to me. Almost 0% of the Russian Navy and a fairly small amount of the Russian Airforce is in Ukraine at this point, and surely those make up more than 3% of their total military. Also, what does "in" mean? Physically present (unlikely), or involved in the invasion on at least an organisational level? I can perhaps believe that 97% of the Russian ground forces are in some way involved, although obviously not by being concurrently physically present - maybe simply as reserves, or by transferring materiel. I think the poster is misremembering this resent statement from British defense secretary Ben Wallace: "Russia's failing strategy: Speaking to the BBC before heading into the Nato talks, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Russia had not been able to "punch through" Ukraine's defences, and that 97% of its army was estimated to be in Ukraine" https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-64634760 American officials set the estimated number somewhat lower "Western officials estimate that the vast majority of Russia’s army is now fighting in Ukraine. Britain’s defense secretary, Ben Wallace, told the BBC on Wednesday that “97 percent of the Russian army” is in Ukraine. U.S. defense officials estimate that about 80 percent of Russia’s ground forces are dedicated to the war effort." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/15/world/europe/russia-ukraine-vuhledar-offensive.html

Kraftwerk posted:I’m just trying to understand what they’re doing in Bakhmut on a tactical level that is allowing them to inch their way forward. What is Russia doing that Ukraine is not doing to make these territorial gains? Is it a question of one side having better aim? Is it artillery? Are the Russians landing shells and hitting more troops than the Ukrainians are? If you got two hours to spare today's Perun video is about Russian PMC's with a focus on Wagner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXKUNc9yI2A And he also did one on the fighting around Bakhmut that covers what you're asking in good detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fqHERDXVpk

cinci zoo sniper posted:The Swiss president (if you're an American, this is complicated) has vocally opposed re-export of Swiss-made arms to Ukraine. Now, this doesn't really cancel the two initiatives reported from their parliament, but apparently they must also include a referendum in the end, so the tl;dr is to not wait on Switzerland, especially this year. https://www.ft.com/content/c6401565-f3d3-489a-b373-e7d5fee11488 quote:“Swiss weapons must not be used in wars,” President Alain Berset — who is also the country’s interior minister — said in an interview(opens a new window) on Sunday WTF would they be used for other than that, when we're talking things like air defense.

When you could help the victim of a brutal invasion and genocide, but chooses not to, you're not neutral, you're on the side of the invader.
