The year has just started, but please note how both sides have changed their rhethoric: Putin no longer calls for "denazification", whatever that means, and will settle for UA neutrality and relinquishing Crimea and DPR. Zelensky no longer wants to be admitted into EU and NATO NOW NOW NOW NOW and can live with security guarantees.
I mean if you believe the Ukraine shills narrative of Ukrainian civilians going Rambo behind Russian lines with AT missiles and Aks then I can't really fault Ruskies for firing on vehicles that get too close. This is why the Geneva conventions call for all combatants to be clearly marked. Else you give grunts a reason to do this.
All wars have the potential to become total wars, and this one was more likely then others. Putin pushed Ukraine into a corner and trussed it like a pig for the slaughter. They don't have any wiggle room which meant the only way out for the country is through the Russian Army.
Nigger, they fired warning shots and the car stood still. Are elderly drivers that retarded they think they're important enough to drive down the same road as a Russian convoy?
I take back everything I ever said about the Biden Cabinet being awful. They may just be Obama Era rehires but at least they are somewhat competent at their jobs. I genuinely pity Ukrainians for being so lied and betrayed by their elite, I mean shit, even in America our masters wouldn't act so callous in regards to their people.
Thought I was going to wait until he bends over for Putin but this will do.
The first warning shot that shattered the glass of the driver?
Dude, they have DPR/LPR at eastern border, a living example of what it looks like when Russia comes to their homes (it looks like hellhole). It's better to be a whatever Western puppet than this.
Low-level flying was because of clouds and shitty target-aquisition systems, I'm sure. Also, modern SAMs would shot down Kalibr/Tochka missiles at least and protect airfields so planes could fly.
Not evil, simply retarded. Hyping up your population on a total war, which this wasn't, giving them weapons and placing bounties on Russian tanks will change nothing about the outcome but will see them mowed down.
To be honest what would be needed would be UN forces stationed there to keep Ukraine safe and prevent both sides from shenangians (big fucking chance that won't stop) And which country would be sane enough to lend forces for this powderkeg? This feels more and more like a repeat of the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938 with the BIG difference that this time shots were fired. And even if the conflict is ended this way does anyone think Russia will be welcomed back into the banking system, inteernet, what have you? Putin will most likely use the sanction as pretext to rid Russia of unwanted media and push the Russian banking alternative to Mastercard / Visa (with maybe some support from "wrongthinkers"). Hardening for future wars and also a creation of a paralell economy. Or as some would say a slap in the face for globohomoThe year has just started, but please note how both sides have changed their rhethoric: Putin no longer calls for "denazification", whatever that means, and will settle for UA neutrality and relinquishing Crimea and DPR.

Could they have started inching towards the middle ground in the negotiations?
See, I am not a very smart autist. I do things that are considered 'tistic from time to time.
During ancient sieges or assaults civilians would hurl down tiles or masonry or use simple weapons. Using everyone and everything to fight an enemy who caused the starvation and murder of 10 million, Holmodor in the 30s is reasonable. Putin's state is a successor to the USSR. Putin has likened Communism (killer of 100 million) to Christianity. The Ukies probably prefer to fight like hell. That tribe who provide the Commisars to Stalin are now oligarchs. Zelenskyy is a Jew (so is Putin through his mother) but Putin is ordering the death and devastation.
It's always been a problem, but after the coup in 2014 it became a disaster, they threw away everyone who didn't support them and put loyal retards, who supported the coup. There was a ukrainian minister of health, who had USA citizenship and wasn't even a medical professional. For some time there was a minister of defense who spent all his time in the army in support troops i.e. without actual combat training, at one point in 2014 he claimed that ukies were attacked by nukes on Donbass, I am not kidding, this is ukrainian source, just use translator. There was also a minister of railroad, who was a fucking musician and had no idea how any of this works.
The occupants of the car had their view obstructed by the trees, and still stopped what seemed to be 30 yards from the t-junction.
There's a white building on the right side and several trees partially blocking the view. The driver seems to have slowed down and come to a halt as soon as he noticed the vehicles coming up the t-junction.
I'm not implying that driving towards the tanks was a smart idea.
