I wish I was a ukie I would be giving out my address to anyone volunteering to come fight for ukraine so they can come suck me off first because that kind of massive faggotry deserves reward.
So what will happen when a transsexual LARP-enthusiast gets designated as a saboteur by the brave BanderaBros in the Jew-free Lviv?
 
They would've gone, but they've decied it's much more useful to use their vast experience and educate Ukraininans on how to disable tanks with paint balloons. They're military advisors.

AFAIK, they'll gladly make a fat retarded manchild into a bootenant desk jockey.

The Persian Gulf War was happening period because Saddam Hussein controlling Kuwait's oil and having even more border with Saudi Arabia to put tanks on was simply and rightly unacceptable to basically the entire world

Muh insoonerated babbies was window dressing
I think his point was that western powers putting up said window dressing is a bad sign for things to come because it means they are trying to increase war-support.
 
Vehicles being left abandoned usually are a result of a mechanical breakdown but it still doesn't explain why entire convoys are seemingly like that. Either way if they are abandoned or not, one must ask where did all the soldiers that were in them go?

run and hide into woods, but mostly take off their uniforms and try to blend in. This info is from their local forums when shit gets abandoned.

One thing that people fail to understand, this is not WWI trench warfare or WWII with well defined lines, trenches and no man zones.

Russian troops are not occupying small towns, they roll through, periodically robbing local stores for food, vodka and cigs. They are not clearing those towns house to house, they are not occupying them. In all those places life goes on. If you wanted to hop off your truck, put something remote civ, you can take a cab or a bus (marshrutka) and get lost among people.

In few places a lone armor or truck is literally outnumbered by locals, which led to few vids of captured Russians. In some cases they shoot to kill on anyone who gets close to them. In some cases they don't, especially if crew is looking for food or directions.
 
Are molotovs useful against modern tanks? All these militias aren't going to get much accomplished with small arms against Rusky tanks. Throwing paint is probably your worst option, but I know the IRA had a homemade RPG called the PRIG that had some success against light armor. I've seen one built and fired in person (just a dummy round) and they're not very complicated. They don't have much range but they seem like they would be effective in an urban environment where you can get high ground and shoot down onto the turret of the tank. Maybe they just want a bunch of armed civilians to use as distractions while the Uke anti armor squads can step in.

They don't really need to make molotovs if they can hold out another 3-4 days they're gonna have javelins and other western anti tank rockets falling out their assholes they're gonna have so many. A decent amount got through before the invasion started and Russia doesn't have the means to strangle resupply, Ukraine is too big and Russian soldiers too few to do that
 
This whole thread is of a different conference, but I found this relevant all the same.
At the same time:

It's part of why "muh American war for oil" memes irk me so much, because oil is basically what most of the world runs on, we didn't take any oil from Iraq, and we didn't fight in Afghanistan for oil either.
 
I agree. Again it def does happen but I imagine its much less due there almost certainly being orders in place against it.
Gopnik instinct would be to inmediatly start taking selfies squating over dead ukranian children but i imagine officers telling Ivan that if a picture they take ends up on american twitter they'll get an extra dose of butt rape as punishment. Ivan's ass can only take so much rape

Kiev sketches of the night of February 26, 2022
The armed forces of the Ukrainian "resistance" continue to fight with unknown people in Kyiv.

They shot the car of civilians, and before that, the national police staged a fight with the "resistance". They were mistaken for "Russian saboteurs".

On the eve of the Ukrainian "resistance" shot at a column of their own soldiers and killed a family of five people.

All of them were recognized as "saboteurs", but later the national police and deputies recognized the "mistake".
 
Are molotovs useful against modern tanks?
No. Them even suggesting it is lunacy. They should have been stockpiling RPGs and such before the war to hand out if they
wanted to go down this road. Everything they are suggesting to civilians to do is basically asking them to kill themselves.
They put no thought into this whatsoever.
 
I don't think Jim really "gets it". Putin is handling the "brother nation" of Ukraine with kid gloves. If at any moment he feels it necessary, he'll just Grozny the place up.

If Putin can't have Kiev, he'll simply destroy it and make it anew.
To be fair, they did a pretty good job with Grozny, in terms of destroying and rebuilding it:

They don't have to stop the tanks. They have to stop the tanks fuel trucks.
 
The precidents are ironically all in previous wars in the same area. The USSR-Polish war of 1920 (or so) and the battles of the Russian Civil War
and even to a degree things that happened during the french 1812 campaign. War in that geography is to a degree like a war sea. Its too big to
create continuous front lines and its very easy for the forces of the other side to get behind the advancing troops and go after supply
columns and such. The job used to be done by cavalry in the old days.

It didn't really happen with Egypt and the Israelis because hardly anyone lives in the Sinai. Convoy protection inside Iraq was always a huge
thing.. Keeping roads up and protecting convoys ate up big parts of manpower. The Iraqis couldn't do "big" attacks on convoys because
of the US air capabilities. But they still did alot.
Makes sense. That makes me wonder how common it is. What percentange. If we assume that the pics are all the abandoned supply convoys, it still leaves us wondering how many supply convoys do the Russians run around with in total? An impossible question to answer, maybe.
Vehicles being left abandoned usually are a result of a mechanical breakdown but it still doesn't explain why entire convoys are seemingly like that. Either way if they are abandoned or not, one must ask where did all the soldiers that were in them go?
If @Strix454 answer is to go by, my guess is that they are either captured, or more likely literally ran for the forests and hillocks. Maybe even many vehicles manage to escape.

Someone should answer "the navy" and point to the commissioning of Hunter Biden at (I think) the age of 43 maybe ten years ago.
Hunter was kicked out for being a crackhead a month after he was commissoined. But he did join the navy.
