Just a couple dudes standing casually filming from 30 meters away right in front of a tank and an MRAP, which do not move or do anything to react to their presence.

Really convinced me that this footage is of actual real combat and not a staged photo op with an abandoned tank.

This is where those big money Javlins are going. Drunk slavs using them to blow junk up for fun.

almost 30 thousand people are watching this unidentified aircraft - twitter speculation that it’s a chinook?
Whatever it is, it’s not far from where all this afternoon[s activity took place, so more evidence that this is an area involved in some pretty serious planning.

I’m starting to think that a bunch of world leaders (possibly more than just NATO) have decided they’ve had enough of Putin’s shit and plan on getting this won and done - it‘s not really about Ukraine, it’s an attempt at a mafia style hit, only using weapons of war instead of a bullet to the back of the head and disposing of the body down the pig farm.

Hmm... that would certainly be in the envelope for a Chinook. I would think they would want something at least that large for a VIP evac so it stands to reason.

No "likely" about it, we could hurl nukes at it no problem. It's more what that'll set off that we're concerned about. There's no real calculation or dilemma here, aside from the obvious problem established since the end of World War 2.

Power level time, I have several wonderful Ukrainian friends. One of them is currently trapped in Kyiv as we speak. She's not scared, she's defiant and angry, and agree with her or disagree with her, her courage is inspirational and I wish there was more I could do help her. This has been enormously difficult for me to write about and follow as a result.

That being said, I still acknowledge that I'm not willing to risk nuclear war over Ukraine, and I don't think anybody suggesting it understands the full implications of what they're asking for. Sending over support, economic sanctions, helping refugees, sure, within reason. A no-fly zone or declaration of war? No. It's good to want to help, but that'll just lead to Ukraine being destroyed alongside the rest of us.

Hopefully the Russians will allow the civs out of Kiev and the Ukrainians militias won't shoot them as deserters

You do know the Iraqi army was one of the largest in the world and was using relatively advanced weapons. Russia is still using those weapons it seems.

America sold them those weapons and they had been drained and beaten up hard after a certain World War 1 style war known as the Iran-Iraq War.

Also Iraqi army being one of the largest at the time is equivalent to being the 8th seed in the NBA playoffs.

Good enough to be an decent army but utter shit if they played the 1st seed, which in their case was Uncle Sam, and got buck broken hard.

Did anything come from the peace talks earlier in the day? Or was it all just posturing?
Maybe I missed it because I've been busy with work stuff all day lmao
