This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

I can see Toyota taking over this market with their trucks since the war in the Middle East is done
If this goes badly, the Klitschko brothers are going to die in Kyiv.
Some of you may not know or barely know who they are, but they a worldwide superstars in boxing, and millionaires a hundred times over. Vitali was elected mayor of Kyiv after his career.
Wonder how the pussy footed Germans will take this. Germany was the adopted home for the brothers for their boxing career, where they were mega stars and idolized, and regularly fought before sold out arenas.

I forget who he was but some senior Ukraine official said last night that the Russians would not take Kyiv. When he was then asked if the Ukrainian government had contingency plans if Kyiv would fall, he simply restated Kyiv would not fall.
They seem to be a confident bunch. More power to them.

Tue US had already committed to the Sherman tank that was far inferior but much cheaper to mass produce.
Likely but not that much. They have killed a lot of Russians and taken out a lot of equipment. I would say more than 1K less than 2K dead.

The circumstances are terrible….but every single time I see an interview or any interaction with the Ukrainian people they endear themselves to me. Whether it’s the stranger being interviewed on live TV in a subway station, or in a car, the soldiers on an island over the radio, the old lady telling the Russians to get out and put sunflowers in their pocket.
This is their homeland and they are defending it….they seem like great, great people. I hope we are doing everything we can to back them up.
I lived there in 2011 for 6 weeks. Kiev and Dnepritovsk.
They are a proud, well educated and very stubborn people. I hope and pray they do well.
It's probably optimistic...but I'll say a lot of analysts on twitter have been saying that previous Ukrainian Russian death toll numbers are plausible...when it was 300, when it was 800, etc.
There's literally never been so much information out there during a war, and there are apparently so many operations going for the Russians, the number add up pretty quickly.
Still seems crazy.
Some interesting corroboration though...Russia is basically drafting doctors, especially trauma surgeons, nationwide for ‘saving lives...in Russia.' Sounds like something you do ahead of a mass casualty event.
Don’t post any more dead bodies or this thread is going to disappear.
Love that little side roll he does afterwards in celebration.
i'm guessing putin sent in the worst soldiers in the first wave.
Your post forgot to mention "Future Ukrainian President - Vitali Klitschko"
No, you bring up bullshit, often out of context and mix in misleading info you get from far right wing sites. It's funny watching you scramble.

Source etc...but if the last part is true, that's pretty big. The South was where Russia had the most success and made the most progress yesterday...
I thought the paratroopers that couldn't take the airfield yesterday were special forces. Could be totally wrong on that, though.
Or maybe they’re all generally shitty?
probably,

Stupid. The United States has the largest standing Army in the world. We do not need to count on passing out small arms to regular citizens to stop an invasion. Not to mention, who the F is going to invade us? Mexico? Canada.I guess there is some possibility they're commando/saboteurs roaming around a Ukrainian city in a giant military truck with an anti-aircraft gun mounted in the bed. But I do figure it more likely they're just low level schmucks that got separated from their unit and found themselves in a hornet's nest of small arms fire.
That was the interesting thing to me about the scenario.
Being able to grasp someone else's viewpoint, and being able to articulate that viewpoint to others, doesn't mean sharing it, but you like to leap to that conclusion.
I've learned to not worry about it.
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. BAU.
Barefoot. My kind of girl.
SIAP - may be propaganda but if so it is very well done.
This needs to happen immediately. The only reason not to is craven business interests.
These people, not the Russian population, are Putin's support. You don't take down Putin until you squeeze these folks until they bleed.

Girls who fire bomb are wild in bed.
This will eventually make its way to wealthy Russian civilians living abroad, I don't think Putin planned on the international backlash being so great. Russia isn't North Korea or Iran that can insulate itself and leach off a bigger economy.
I'm starting to see no way out of this for Russia. It doesn't have the capabilities or resources to reoccupy the former USSR in a digital age, and it can't control its own population's dissent without basically cutting it off from the world - which it can't do in a digital age. It would be wise to sue for peace or withdraw sooner rather than later imo before its wealthy abroad get chased out of the west and cause major disturbances in Russia through their wealth.
From what I've been reading, the "tip of the spear" forces of Russia are pretty darn good, and well equipped.
However, it seems to be universally held that Russian forces beyond that are very poorly trained, poorly commanded, and exceptionally shitty for a world power. Add to that the fact that morale for this war is near zero.
Sheer numbers still strongly favor a Russian victory, but they're going to shed an insane amount of blood too. So far, there seems to be very little cracks in the Ukrainian will.
Keep the news coming guys and gals and remember F Russia. Don't buy Russian products including vodka in the US. F'em to hell.
Good twitter news site.

Kinda creeps me out how much Ukraine looks like Iowa in February. Take away the tank and dead russkies, and that might be US 20 between Cedar Falls and Dubuque!
