Wasabi the J posted:Does rather beg the question why tf Russia would shoot it? Most plausible explanation I've heard is that they're shooting at ships they think are bringing aid supplies to Ukraine without checking their nationality first. Though at least one of the ships hit previously was apparently hit by an unguided rocket that went astray while the Russians were firing batteries at some coastal position.

If you're like me and refuse to create a Twitter account and are poo poo tired of Twitter continually demanding you create an account to view tweets I found a pretty good alternative. https://www.nitter.net Its some open source alternative to Twitter that cuts out all the bullshit. You can still view all tweets through it like so: https://nitter.net/CalibreObscura https://nitter.net/UAWeapons

maffew buildings posted:They're a Ukranians National Guard unit comprised of Neo-Nazis with a very ugly track record who may have been receiving training from the CIA which means we need to ignore that they're Nazis as far as I can tell Nazis were more popular under Russia's candidate than they were under Zelensky, so no. In fact they went from 10% of the vote to 2% and down to one single seat in a country with a Jewish president with grandparents who died in the Holocaust. Know who loves Nazis? Putin. In fact most of Russia's soft power was from influencing and getting support from Alt-Right and White Supremacist groups. Its not surprise that the GOP has openly declared love and support for Putin in the past, especially under Trump. gently caress the Azov Battalion, but stop sealioning about Ukraine being Nazi supporters.

Which, after the Maidan Revolution, the political groups aligned with the Azov Battalion lost votes significantly.

Nazis everywhere loving suck and the US training up paramilitary groups that may include a UKR Guard unit that is full of Neo-Nazis also sucks. I hope Russia doesn't succeed in rolling UKR and also that every Nazi dies maffew buildings fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Mar 2, 2022 |

SlowBloke posted:I do remember some old articles about WW2 where they talked about flamethrower guys, they won't get captured but always shot not just due to the flammable backpack but also due to soldiers being pissed off at their comrades getting cooked, is rocket artillery man going to be the modern equivalent? I’d believe it. From reading Rick Atkinson’s trilogy there were also not infrequent times when machine gunners who fought until the last second had trouble surrendering, or after an allied unit had lost guys to a surrender ruse pretty much no surrenders would be accepted for a while.

Elton John getting worried. Cythereal posted:Georgia taking preemptive steps. Okay now that the subject has been tangentially mentioned, does anyone know the cat ownership rate of ukrainians? I've tried looking it up well before this whole thing and while I can readily find total numbers I can't find percentages. I know Russians have an astounding number at like 60% and I was wondering if the Ukrainians did likewise. I've found one article that might mention it but it's paywalled and surprisingly hard to find info on otherwise

With the caveat of Covid, it looks like Russia has on average about 9-10 million domestic airline passengers a month in 2021. Looks like those passengers are going to have to catch a train instead. https://twitter.com/janedvidek/status/1498723248183382020 I've taken an overnight train from St. Pete to Moscow once and it was pretty bleak, rattling late Soviet train cars and multiple stops in the absolute middle of nowhere with just featureless snow and pitch black pines.
