What the maps show is that the russians aren't able to stop any Ukrainian troops from continuing to fight them. Frankly, it's suggesting that when meeting Ukrainian forces in combat the Russian army is loosing.

Naked Bear posted:It can also mean that the Russians are overextending themselves. Pushing deep along just a few, narrow axes also means that they will be exposing themselves over wide, thin areas. From the first couple days' fighting, it didn't appear that they had been very successful in exploiting those breakouts or in tying down Ukrainian units to allow follow-on elements to keep streaming through. Opinion: this looks more like a move of desperation than anything. I can't find the article right now, but someone from Ukraine's MoD said they're actively ambushing Russian resupply convoys to cut them off.

bees everywhere posted:Even if there was one, I doubt anyone got to use it. My 1st deployment we lost a whole crew of an M1114 when they went off the road into a small creek, and their gun hatch was wide open. They lost a tank to that in the early days of iraq iirc. Apparently the rumor mill surrounding it was nuts, including it getting jacked by republican guard lol

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/02/27/world/russia-ukraine-war/after-suspending-ukraine-deliveries-ups-and-fedex-halt-business-in-russia Looks like the major center of Warhammer bootlegs besides China is no longer open. For those that don’t know Dhaka Dhaka store and a bunch of the other Russian-based warhammer retailers just sell bootlegs 3-D printed. They’re actually not bad and I was thinking of getting one or two as a proxy, but I just didn’t have a feeling that shipping would be undisturbed, if you will, in the next month or so.

pantslesswithwolves posted:That first reply Full (auto, not very good) translation, for those interested: Operational information as of 18:00 on February 27 regarding the Russian invasion #stoprussia The Russian Federation continues to accumulate aviation equipment and intensify special forces on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. More than 50 planes, 10 helicopters and 2 An-124 planes are concentrated at Machulishi airfield. Transport planes are constantly taking off from Baranovichi and Machulishche airfields in the direction of Ukraine. The Belarusian command has brought some of its units into combat readiness. Conducting an offensive operation in Ukraine, the Russian occupiers use methods of combat prohibited by international humanitarian law: seize social infrastructure, wear the uniform of the Ukrainian military, police and SES, sabotage special forces use ambulances and police cars stolen from doctors. ambulance stations; terrorists occupy children's camps and schools, enemy artillery and MLRS are deployed on sports grounds. Three ambulances with conditional markings of invaders were recently spotted in Kyiv. In the Genichesk district of the Kherson region, the Russian occupiers deployed MSTA-C artillery units in residential buildings. A column is moving in the direction of Makariv - Kyiv, and the enemy has placed children and women on the armored vehicles to cover them. However, the moral and psychological condition of the occupying forces is low. Near Koryukivka in the Chernihiv region, conscripts of the Russian Armed Forces are ready to lay down their arms and surrender. Hundreds of disabled armored vehicles and tanks have been abandoned all over Ukraine. As of 18:00, the loss of enemy personnel amounted to about 4,500 people. Destroyed and damaged aircraft - 27 units (to be specified), helicopters - 26 units, tanks - about 150, BBM - more than 700 units, guns - about 50, one SAM BUK, Four MLRS BM-21 Grad, 60 tanks, 2 UAVs quickly -tactical level, ships, boats - 2 units. There will be more. The calculation is complicated by the high intensity of hostilities. e: Ran it through google translate, which is much better. psydude fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Feb 27, 2022 |

It's incredible that it seems like the most of the rest of the world will just increase sanctions ever more until Putin gives up his invasion, when like two days ago we were unsure weather the EU would even be able to do the bare minimum sanctions that could be considered face saving.

Sentinel posted:question Compare them to the french foreign legion. Choosing to volunteer and fight in the armed forces and under the official flag of another nation, has different legal historical baggage than mercenaries. Not miles apart maybe, but distinct categories. Anyway, what someones government (or another gov who might take offence) will actually do to them in response isn't very standardised or consistent through history. Maybe they'd get branded as a deserter, maybe they get treated as a terrorist, or maybe they get taxed on their income

Like I mean seriously this must be a Goldmine just in terms of actual battle data or US top of the line and NATO top of the line antitank weapons against Russian tanks. I was thinking the same thing. Weapons analysts and military analysts from DIA and CIA must be pretty excited to get poo poo shipped over here once this war is over.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I don't really follow Japanese politics either but there's got to be quite a difference between trying to remove Article 9 and explicitly saying "yeah, let's let the US base nukes in Japan." It's notable but it is Abe, who has always been very militaristic. And the US used to base nukes in Okinawa though IIRC it was a neither confirm nor deny wink wink situation. For obvious reasons the Japanese public is not big on the idea of having nuclear weapons. Though of course Japan has solid fuel space launch rockets that conveniently happen to work exactly like ICBMs and enough nuclear material and expertise to build warheads any time they want to. This may be because there are a bunch of videos going around of Chinese students in Ukraine mocking the Ukrainians and supporting Russia, which has gotten into the Ukrainian press and people are loving pissed. Trying to head off attacks on Chinese people because of dipshit college kids.

"I KNEW HE WOULD loving DO THAT!" Defenestrategy posted:Didn't some other Slavic Orthodox church come out and say Russia invasion is bad? WHO GETS THE +2 PIETY BUFF?! The Greek patriarch did. Not sure about any others. Technically he is the head honcho of sorts. However, he also let the Ukrainians break away from the Russian church after 2014 and the Russians are super mad about it, so they probably don't care what he thinks.
