Good! Does this involve some of the new tanks offered by the west to Ukraine? Might be too soon. Sounds like some very sophisticated technology in play.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a lot of relatively sophisticated water craft with weaponry arriving in Ukraine; at least that’s what social media told me. If this is true, there will be a major push for Crimea soon. Those Russian troops in the outer western reaches south of the Dnipro river are very...

Of course people make their own choices and of course there is no justification for their behaviour. If you think I’m apologising for it, you’re much maligned. But if you’re trying to tell me this isn’t utterly endemic and proliferated throughout the Russian “army,” you’re removing the context...

Granted, poorly worded. What I’m saying is that the barbaric behaviour of the Russian army comes from the very top. Win at all costs. The enemy are animals etc. That heavily entrenched indoctrination has surely had some influence in these cases. And of course I knew the difference between right...

I am uncomfortable with the blood thirsty solutions to an already bloody war. Yes, Russian soldiers have behaved in despicable ways. But the Russian soldier currently on trial is 21 years old. This murderous behaviour is not of his making. He has been emboldened by appalling misinformation...

I think he’s understood that he will be remembered as nothing more than a pathetic, barbaric, reprehensible, immoral thug if he doesn’t let civilians out. He has a far higher opinion of himself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BBC reporting that Russia states this is the end of their first phase. What worries me is what their second phase might look like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Russian tanks relying on western parts has exposed and over-extended their huge reliance on this technology. I’d be surprised if The West provided as good parts to Russia’s tanks as they did their own. In these scenarios, do weapons manufacturers share information about the penetrative...

According to several sources, three days’ worth of food and frostbite from sitting in freezing tanks for a month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Former head of the British Army said that what is happening in Mariupol is morally indefensible. He supported the idea of a war crimes tribunal, inaccessible to veto. I agree. One day Putin will be arrested and put in jail. What sort of man wills the deaths of thousands of people for his own...

Excellent thread. Thanks for sharing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m now concerned that China are providing hypersonic missiles to Russia. Russia has no known history in this technology and claims its use. If China is getting involved, this could become quite scary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m no twit. You’re the one who roundly supported that disgusting presence in our society, Trump. Now you’re here saying it’s potentially safer to keep Putin as a figurehead because he may be less likely to press the big red button. The same Putin who, totally unprovoked, built up over a hundred...

**** me, here you are again. Read your message with a Russian accent and it makes a lot of sense. Your English isn’t very good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
