Lol so when I called it at the beginning of the first thread that these magical jets were going to be the Ukranian version of Army Detachment Steiner I was totally on the money huh? How many times has the story reemerged and had to be swatted down by the involved parties going "uh yeah no we're not doing that wtf where did you even hear that from?" at this point?

There's nothing more Globohomo than Channel 4 News. They'd probably disgust George Soros, and OVD mightn't be wholly legit (although their stuff looks a bit more home made and genuine than some astroturfed stuff), but there seems to be some degree of protest, including meetings with angry army mothers. Maybe, health warning etc.

What was surprising, though was trad Cath blog gushingly quote tweeting Channel 4 news. It's sort of trippy, although to be a bit 'no fun' the editor 'New Catholic' mightn't be aware of just who he's quote tweeting. Otherwise it's end of the world in its own way.

So about 73 per city?

These are rookie numbers, Russkies. Chicago alone averages 143 arrests a day, and they aren't the most overactive police force we have.

Get out there and make some noise! For democracy, comrade!
 
How is it different from the standard Ukraine seal/symbol/whatever?
Thanks for catching that. I was wrong about it being the ONU-M symbol. The symbol in the video is the standard seal of Ukraine used since the 1990s.

The ONU-M symbol is slightly different in that there is a sword in the center rather than a trident prong. I've added a note to the original post saying that it was incorrect. My bad.
 
These STUPID NIGGERS in America should stfu before they completely collapse any chance of me owning a house next year.

Lt. Col./Col. (unclear which) Yuri Agarkov, commander of the 33rd Motorized Rifle Regiment, was killed in the Donbass region. He was previously the chief of staff of the 56th Air Assault Brigade.

Sources are the Instagram of the Governor of Pskov Oblast and this Russian news outlet.
Seems to be confirmation that a Colonel Ukraine claimed they killed was killed, so it may not be a new death. With how many Senior Officers are dying though this is either a purge disguised as a war or is going to get a lot of Senior Officers talking amongst themselves.
 
This is often called a "hoax" by "fact checkers". They attack the presentation based on context being missing. The additional context is that people will own nothing because they will rent absolutely everything and everything they rent will be delivered by drone. I don't know how that makes it better, but that is what they say.
 
Russia could level Kiev to the ground, they haven't because they are trying to negotiate a settlement and put pressure by starving out the government with their cauldrons. They fight wars differently than the west.
Negotiations are for power struggles, if Russia could've killed the Ukrainian government then why wouldn't they? Because it'd make them look bad?

The stark contrast in this beautiful image make it photograph of the year for us blahblahblahjournofaggottalk
Bullshit, in three months, something just as fucking stupid or more will happen and you pricks will forget what the fuck Ukraine is/was
 
They can also use the main highways in western Ukraine as Air Strips. The MIG, just like the F series in America is designed with the operational requirement of having to take off on a road repurposed as an airfield.

If you are ever driving down an Interstate in America and for some inexcplicable reason it widens out, goes straight and you see a gated exit to nowhere with a "stay out" sign on it, those are the designated emergency airfields. The drive off points in the tree line is where the air force can park its fighters and the interstate is the runway.

The Soviets did pretty much the same thing with their main roads. It's a simple and effective idea.
Soviet jets just have better rough field capability all around. It's one of the reasons they can stay operational in some of the third world shitholes that operate them.

The maintenance, refueling, LOX,, medical, spare parts, food, berthing, it needs more than a stretch of highway with prevailing winds.

Re: stocking up on food (can't quote)
Also get honey. Can be used as sweetener and is a natural antibiotic, among other things. If you have access to powdered honey, get some if you have concerns for the long term. Honey never "expires".

Someone earlier posted about no cat food at Publix. I don't know if you were serious or being silly, but I haven't seen wet cat food in several months here. It's easy, albeit a bit messy and smelly, to make your own cat and dog food. And cheaper and certainly healthier.
