it must be emotionally draining gradually piecing together evidence of russian war crimes from snippets of cctv footage and eyewitness accounts. thank god the ukranians are decent enough to bust out their phones and straight up film their atrocities, streamlining the process greatly.

Wow if I was russia looking at this and all I need to resupply is an old truck I would keep the conflict going as long as possible. it must cost the west 100x more to have all that material air lifted.

They'd be running training missions and doing fuel dumps at low altitude over schools in the occupied nations with that fuel anyway, so who's to say if transporting arms to Ukraine is good or bad.

Finally watched some drone footage and :( this whole tragedy has a sad abrasiveness to it. It feels so jarring to watch these sad scenes overlayed with... Dubstep?? Just drones dropping grenades and memes. I feel like if this war continues for a number of years, it will be slowly forgotten by the west.

Wow, stunning. Let's look at some flights into Rzeszow from today!

The AZgeopolitics account is counting on people ignorant of the fact that the majority of flights into and out of Rzeszow Jasionka Airport are commercial airliners like RyanAIR and LOT air and other commercial people and cargo movers land and take off from Rzeszow, Poland.



No one is supporting Ukraine with as many flights of supplies as depicted by the AZ account; that's one of Zelensky's frustrations!

I know what a month is. AZgeololitics is assuming its readers are too ignorant to know Reszow hosts civil flights. That’s why their unsourced chart includes a month’s worth of civil aviation.

Yeah, basically standard occupation stuff. Shooting everyone with a gun. Dubious raids. Who told the Ukrainians where to drop the mortar? This whole war thing seems like a bad idea.

I’m just slightly surprised people can’t look at a map of civil air traffic to include flights from non-NATO countries and then figure out the account is trying to dupe them.

I've never heard a story of it, but there's gotta be at least a few. It wouldn't surprise me if the media were just not running stories about them, or literally saving them for some propaganda push later.

On the other hand, it's also possible that people tried and Russia was afraid of them being spooked up and so either outright sent them packing or has them working in a laundry 1000 miles from Ukraine.

what a lot of people don't understand is that for many western men (especially unconventionally handsome IT professionals) this war is deeply personal. my ukranian wife's step brother has come to visit and they're very close so i'm sleeping on the couch tonight, but this is an excellent opportunity for me to get some nafo posting in on twitter. there's a lot of naysayers (especially itt) but it really makes a material difference.

I remember the same Nafo-types posting about the Libyan civil war and cheering on all the participants of the conflict with no care given as to what the consequences or deeper ramifications of the conflicts were going to be so yeah when the war in the ukraine ends they are just going to move on to wikipedia search the military of whatever the next conflict region is going to be to appear to be experts on the internet.

I was going to write "I'm old enough to remember the Libyan civil war" but then I remembered that it started in 2014 literally not even 10 years ago yet they aren't giving a poo poo about it anymore now that the fighting has died down. These "people" are just here to see the bodies and cheer they really don't give a loving poo poo about the people living there.

the Ukrainian kill listers and NAFO trolls are keeping track of the volunteers for Russia, posting their names and addresses of their relatives and stuff in random tweets all the time. I don't go looking this stuff up but it's hard not to see it in the wall of psycho poo poo they post on every subject

is it civil air traffic though? given the tweet says NATO flights and is over a month why can’t the lines be military flights only
