Once again, I'm thinking recon patrols stumbling into each other, the first video I think that's even the two sides yelling at each other to try and figure out who those silhouettes with guns at the other side of the street are. I don't expect the Russians to make a concentrated night push, so this is just the feelers trying to find out where the strongpoints are.

EDIT: Or it's just retards with guns, see previous page.

Was that before or after he armed civilians and told them to attack Russian troops? Either way I don't think it's entirely up to him now to decide whether he stays or leaves. The optics of him staying are more valuable to his bosses than he is now.

You only need water if you want to heat it up, and for the drink (which you need some kind of water anyway). MREs are otherwise ready to eat. You also need a lot less water. You can probably get away with with 1 qt of water per pound of pasta but it will be disgusting. The minimum is 4 qts per pound for the right texture. The water is salty and goes to waste after, though I suppose you could boil with fresh water and drink it after (it will be starchy and disgusting), but again your pasta will be subpar.

Add some of the water to the sauce, that way it doesn’t all go to waste

It takes balls to go down fighting, but his total lack of reluctance to get civilians to go zerg rush Russian forces makes me respect him a lot less. If he knows he's gonna lose he should surrender, no point in causing a bunch of senseless deaths, especially among people that aren't even in the military.

He wants his civilians to die so the West will intervene over "war crimes". It's sickening.

You're giving the RF too much credit. What likely happened was that Putin ((felt)) good about invading Ukraine and told the military's chain of command to advance inside in a very short notice. The Russian chain of command, in their infinite Slav wisdom, sends in cannon fodder (conscripts) blitzing through the Ukraine. Naturally the conscripts, without proper strategy or logistics, quickly get harassed by random Ukrainian soldiery because they are easy to pick out (especially if pocketed.) The results are hysterical casualties, with clips of tanks running over cars by accident as they are genuinely bewildered. Now they're going fuck-all and will probably level Kiev like Grozny to save face while incurring international condemnation in the process. At the end of the day everyone loses. God bless the 21st century.

If this is the case, absolute utter disaster, and a permanent stain on whatever positive legacy Putin would have left. Really sad and terrifying to think Putin is the most competent world leader currently.

The F-35 is the worst example and is basically a useless plane.

The F-35 is awesome, c'mon. The MSM has done the same shit to the F-16 and F-18 back in the day.

Why is it okay for "rogue" actors like that glowop bullshit anonmoose to go after russia, but if russia responds it triggers some bullshit with NATO?

I get it, it's okay when we do it.. But am i missing something? All these nato countries are giving some aid to ukraine, but they are calling for belarus to be lumped in with russia.. It is more than just rules for thee, but not for me or am I missing something? I mean i probably am, I am pretty clueless, heh.

Kicking Russia out of SWIFT makes payments to Russia financially more complicated and expensive, but it doesn't really make those transactions impossible. There is however a real
problem for SWIFT in being politicized like this because every time its done now, it gets alot of people thinking more seriously about creating an alternative system. China in particular.
The more SWIFT is seen as a weapon used by the United States against its enemies, the less the general world trusts it.

That's the more important thing. Politics has mostly not had too much of an influence (tho the temp suspension of Vatican City until Francis entered office was sus). SWIFT will die if it becomes a political football.
