Ukrainian self-propelled artilley stop near the church in Sievierodonetsk. This is originally from Youtube but was posted on Reddit. How this post was handled with will give you a general idea what is happening on Reddit at the moment in regards to war footage.

So, they're just going to roll right up next to the church, huh?

Guess when it gets counter-batteried, the Ukrainians will start screaming about the Geneva Convention and war crimes.
 
Some Twitter hot takes:

Not sure of the veracity of this claim, but I have seen people asserting that they are Latin first letters of their destination. Specifically with respect to the V-force headed towards a settlement whose name begins with V (I forget which). NOT based on anything I've read, but purely as an example, perhaps a force labelled with O may be moving on Odessa.

This does not really make sense to me. Seems like a big opsec issue, unless they're also also seeding in a bunch of misdirection/disinfo with fake labels of that type. That, or the Russians figure they are so much stronger than Ukraine that it really doesn't matter if the enemy knows precisely where they are going.
As a follow-up, I found that tweet again:

Purportedly the Russian units with "V" on the side are headed for Vyshhorod.

How do you think they got the pretty picture of kindergartens being bombed? Im doubting it was a tactical target
 
I wish I could get excited about information, but a lot of it is "information" and I fear to trust.

On twitter one sees a thing saying a bunch of unarmed Ukrainians made a tank turn around and leave. Without the description, the video looks like the driver chose to spare the people he easily could have run over.

By now we know not to trust Official News Sources, even of you aren't old enough to remember Jessica Lynch you probably remember the Summer Of Love with it's "fiery but peaceful protests."

It's all so tiresome.
 
The Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation wants the Viber and Paypal CEOs to block their services in Russia. This is the same guy who organized the "IT Army" mentioned earlier in this thread.

If there's anything I want to see come of this war Paypal being blocked in Russia is near the top. Either by unilateral decision like this (not impossible considering some of the other companies who've done it) or via sanctions.

We'd need a whole thread in either happenings or community watch to track the shitstorm that would cause.
 
Teeheehee

Japan should discuss a possible sharing of nuclear weapons similar to that of NATO members in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe saidhttps://t.co/t3oncPiqle

Why would japan do that, they are continually at the point of nuclear breakout within 6 months of getting the green light? no point in sharing nukes

Have you ever noticed how many Trump-hating liberals are really quick to call Trump a dancing prancing tra-la-la homo man whenever they get the chance? They keep demanding everybody wear masks, you think they'd be better at keeping theirs on.
