Play posted:To be fair that is some brutal loving mud lol.. Look how deep that poo poo is! Oh I totally agree. I just find it funny because before this invasion started there were a lot of people saying "RUSSIA KNOW THEY HAVE MUD! THEY KNOW HOW TO MAKE TANKS THAT CAN WORK ON MUD THIS IS NOT 1941". Apparently their tanks aren't as mudproof as they thought, or their crews have not be trained to identify how much it can handle.

Shes Not Impressed posted:I don't know what you're talking about at this point. The powers that be in Ukraine is apparently "talking" about never joining Nato. You posted stuff about the situation in Kyiv, as I interpreted it as a sorta "Last stand but things are looking great" But as Zelensky might not be willing to wait for this grandstand, as a concession is preferable to the Alamo. Ukraine is more then Kyiv. Full disclosure: Personally anything less then Putin heading the same up-wards-down direction of Mussolini is going to be a complete disappointment but that is just me.

Just way too convenient as propaganda. Didn't we just have a whole discussion not that long ago about how foreign volunteers have been kinda haphazardly treated and haven't really been sent into action, instead formed up into training units on rear echelon duties with the Ukrainians apparently not quite sure what to do with them? Did this Wali dude get an exemption purely due to how ~badass~ he is to get a ticket straight to a city currently under siege to do some lone wolf ghost warrior poo poo, or was he somehow integrated into Ukrainian military units to relieve Mariupol, or what?

EscapeHere posted:Ukraine has mud. Who would've thought Its always interesting how even in modern warfare the most innocuous parts of nature can still cause crippling issues. I'm a bit confused because I would have assumed that Russia is well versed in the military consequences of vehicles getting stuck in the mud, considering the Eastern Front in WW2. Would there have been any value on their end on just waiting till summer to launch the attack?

There were a couple of dudes who had already bailed from Ukraine that claimed foreign volunteers were being poorly integrated. I'm not sure their word should be taken as gospel since I think the ones seeing forward action aren't talking to that many people.

It would be impressive if it wasn't so horrible for Ukrainian civilians.

 drone footage of russians stoping a car shoot a surrendeirng driver, drag his body off into a ditch and then drag the child and woman with him off into the woods. https://twitter.com/ZDFfrontal/stat...wxpQ3KlIhy-ZGGo from my analysis they look like they are just doing hosed up raider/bandit poo poo because war crimes are fun to them i guess and probably because half their officers are dead.

I think someone told them to do something so they're trying to look busy. At some point they'll get close enough for shore batteries to fire on them.

They sent landing ships with the minesweeper. It would be stupid to do that if you didn't intend to try to make a landing or give the appearance of wanting to make one. If this is all just a Russian bluff to tie down Ukrainian forces near Odessa it will be the first competent thing they've tried so far.
