Seeing conflicting reports about the status of the Hostomel airport after last night. Russia is claiming they never lost control of it/took it back overnight. It would be a big deal if the Russians took it undamaged enough to be usable, but I can't find anything concrete.

And Denmark has been looking to their neighbor for inspiration and have just shipped 2000 bulletproof vests (??) and 700 pre-packed medic bags. There was a discussion in the media before the invasion, why Denmark weren't sending their stock of Stingers, since they have been taken out of use by the Defense. The defense minister replied that the stingers were too old and would not be functional. Something that might come as a surprise for Latvia, who bought Danish stingers back in 2017 and actually shipped some of their stock to Ukraine. This has been a case study in how you avoid supporting with lethal equipment, without having a good excuse. (Alright, Denmark is also sending a 100 patient capacity field hospital. Right is right) Trump fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Feb 26, 2022 |

Anyway, that's basically what's going on.

It’s two organized militaries fighting a convential war, and so what you are seeing is the actual norm, and not the outlier. This is what a front in France might’ve looked like in 1940, and what Falklands war looked like. The war of 1776, and the Civil War. Franco-Prussian war. Etc. There is always the chance for war crimes, and especially collateral damage. But Russia isn’t here to do ethnic cleansing, but instead attempting to achieve conventional war goals. Same reason why you see the prisoners being treated just fine and not beaten by the captors. These true convential military vs military conflicts are just much rarer in the information era.

The defense minister replied that the stingers were too old and would not be functional. Stinger batteries have a limited shelf life and need to be replaced every now and then. So I guess Latvians got refurbished Stingers and new batteries from Danish stocks with full support of US, but that takes time.

Just recently the Armenian twitter got victory frenzied like crazy only to find out a week later they lost the war. They did? I was only vaguely following that conflict and everything I ever saw, the entire time, was showing the Armenians getting wrecked. I don't think I saw anything positive for the Armenian side the entire time, except when that Russian helicopter got shot down and they hoped Russia would step in sooner than they did. And the European / English-speaking-internet media I saw was even sympathetic to the Armenians; I didn't have any exposure to Turkish media or whatever that is pro-Azeri.

Give it enough time and they’ll start calling the Ukrainian military rioters and insurgents: “as you can see on this official document, Ukraine has been Russian territory since 1488, so really it’s an internal unrest we have on our hands.”

US literally shelled the press hotel in Baghdad, way after its location and purpose had been relayed to command. It's a bit weird how russian troops on the ground seem to be mostly keeping their cool (when the cameras are on, mind), letting civilians berate them, reporters come up and film, all the while their bosses do everything but hiss and spit blood on world news.

Thanks for you concern for this thread, but I don't think anyone here has any delusions about Ukraine being able to win this war. At best people hope they can win some concenssions like some degree of autonomy under Russian occupation through a negotiated peace instead of full surrender.

Those I think are the important questions and why it doesn't prove anything one way or another. And the answer is of course not. It's not proof of anything. It's undated video of unidentified guys getting water near a ship. But beyond the total lack of evidentiary value, it's a good example of why people need to do source analysis. Russian state media is not at all trustworthy, and there is no value in trying to parse some sort of truth from an organization that constantly lies. Some goons really struggle with this simple fact. Others simply don't care. Kaal fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Feb 26, 2022 |

I can see a bunch of uniformed men lining up in an orderly to grab bags of something or other and then walking away with minimal supervision or guards. How exactly do we know that these are Ukrainian prisoners and not, say, Russian troops getting Russian supplies? Honest question, because I'm not familiar with the identifying marks in question.
