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

Are we supposed to be afraid of their military too? All they are good at is overwhelming much smaller opponents who have far fewer resources, and launching artillery and missiles at residential districts for days and weeks because they can do so essentially unopposed.

It's good to see them realizing how effed they are. Buckle up, Ivan.

Back on, oh, page 200 and something, there was an interesting Tweet with an article linked talking to a journalist - can't remember which outlet it was -- that was noting how much more fit, healthy and robust the average Ukrainian soldier in the conflict was than the average Russian soldier. That sure seems to be the case in the footage, too. That isn't something that would come immediately to mind when thinking about strategic advantage, but over time, I think it does make a big difference.
One of the generals on CNN the other night also noted how big of a morale and even physical difference it makes that the Ukrainian soldiers for the most part are still getting good hot food and sleeping in more comfortable warm quarters than their Russian foe. The longer that goes on, the more the battle of attrition swings in Ukraine's favor as well.

It becomes more evident every day that Putin overestimated the division Trump created in NATO between 2017-2021.
Either that, or he underestimated the ability of Biden to strengthen NATO.
The civilian losses are horrific, but Russian military looks like a "paper tiger". Another 2-3 weeks of Ukrainian gains and continued NATO armaments and desertion and surrenders from Russian troops will be overwhelming, imo.

Sounds a lot like the mafia.
is it normal to shoot in a group like the end of that clip. The soldier in back was shooting over top of the heads of his comrades. Not been in the military but that looks off.
Amazing that these idiots didn't have a friendly fire incident
They should use flame throwers for Kadyrov and muslim troops. They hate it because it reminds them of Hindu cremation and that defiles their body forever from their 72 virgins and janat (heaven). That's what the Indian Army does and Pakistanis would prefer dying by any other means rather than that. Another thing is to put a piece of pork in the corpses mouth. Both have obvious shock value.
Or.... the other side would say that Putin overestimated Zerensky's leadership abilities and Biden had jack shit to do with it. Biden needs to quit talking and send weapons. That's the only thing he should do going forward. He's going to get innocent people gassed or nuked. OK, back to coverage of the Ukraine War.
I'm pretty sure that is a minority in one of the Russian vassal states. Many of the cannon fodder who comprised the early waves of the Russian invasion force were minorities from conquered countries.
We need your info so we can vote for you.

The ambassador appears to be talking solely about their STRATEGIC (i.e. rocket/submarine multiple warhead) nuclear arsenal and not their TACTICAL (i.e. battlefield, single-warhead) nuclear arsenal.
To me, the concern is if the conventional war continues to go south, Russia may turn to a tactical nuke (which they have many more of than the US) in order to "escalate-to-de-escalate).
Enjoy the starstreak Russian dick heads.

Did ISIS give Russia the shit too busted up and crappy for them to use? 😂
It's funny, over the weekend, I ran into a former neighbor who was back in the neighborhood visiting some folks down the street. He was former peace corps and spent about 5 years in ukr after the wall came down. He was telling me how the cultural reality was that the babushkas really ran the place at a local level, and were smart as a whip
Big game now on who falls into those categories. Also interesting to see the intel leaking out at the breadth of Russian Federation agents working in government and as propagandists in NATO countries. Can't wait for the list to drop on the US. Putin spent 10's of billions on this and it damn near worked....he just forgot to check and make sure his military was spending their billions right. Going to be some amazing books and movies, should we all live through it.
We were told on here that Biden's comments would be walked back today.
Turns out, the bulk of Russia is one step rung above North Korea.
I like that dude. Sure, he's a bit nuts but he's got some stones in his pants. Not that genital missing, diaper shitting, orange stain of a fart.
