Yeah, if the Russians can kill more than a 100 men bunched up in a military base then they should get the fuck out of bases.

This is not Iraq or Afghanistan, bases are not invulnerable and missile strike have proven to be very deadly so far.

You'll just get hundreds or even thousands of men killed by just bunching them up in death traps.

The problem with the Taliban and Mujahedeen is that they have mountains and hills and caves to hide in, they also hid among civilians, which of course puts those in danger. That said there have been some intermingling but weather it's widespread or just i certain pockets is yet to be known. As for the Viet Cong they had the hills and jungles to hide in, where as Ukraine is mostly very flat, the only place that has anything hidden is the catacombs of Odessa, which hasn't seen any fighting.

They definitely don't have the topological advantage, but idk why you'd have 200 men bunched up on base like that. It (was) a city of 500,000 people, probably a lot of empty buildings, municipal buildings, etc. They've been fighting there for 3 weeks, and this isn't the first time the base has been attacked.

Oh gods I hate internet clowns that wave around the Geneva Convention. The Geneva Convention is a treaty not really a law as such. And it is by and large an extremely weak one, unless or until one of the combatants has been so fully defeated as to be at the complete mercy of the other. At which point it provides a loose sniff of legal legitimacy for the defeated to face prosecution. In the near Century that most elements of the Geneva and Hague Conventions have been in effect in some form or other, only one single adversary government has afforded Uniformed US Soldiers its protections. And that was the fucking Nazi’s. For all practical purposes it is an utterly worthless series of documents.

Defining and standardizing what is and isn't considered fair treatment for prisoners of war was a totally useless endeavor d00d!

I said it before, I'll say it again:
There is only one way to stop this and that's for Ukrainian higher ups to suck it up and surrender.
Whoever thinks they can win is delusional.
Putin isn't gonna stop. Can't stop, wouldn't stop. Literally.
West will not stop egging Ukrainians either nor will they provide any real help. Because yuros need gas.
A fucking tragedy none of us probably expected to witness in out lifetimes.

Not really, Russia is very doing poorly considering the apparent disparity of forces. MANPADs and anti-tank weapons have made mincemeat of a lot of Russian tanks (no T-14 there, just T-74s or T-80s dying in notable numbers, some even with egg cartons in their outer armor skirts) and aircraft (no SU-57 to be seen). Ukrainians appear to find it easy to ambush tanks and troop transports operated without any genuine situational awareness as to avoiding ambushes. The Russians heavily rely on civilian walkie talkies almost anyone can tune into, and have. Kyiv still isn't surrounded or penetrated to any notable degree, despite how close it is. Russian claims of captured towns in recent times turn to be cope filled and the towns remain contested.

Russia is not remotely self reliant, as it was to a degree in Soviet days. The Russians won't do well out of selling gas at a massive discount to the Chinese. They are still selling to Germany, and patently need the money badly. Between some natural gas supplies of their own, Algeria, US supplies and the fact that Russia still has to sell it to Germany and others, means Euroland will do okay. New trade allies like India for oil are utterly marginal against the earnings Russia needs. Why would the Ukrainians surrender to a third rate bully, who has repeatedly praised (((Communism))) responsible for the slaughter of 10 million Ukrainians? Putin certainly can stop. It isn't clear Russia can take the combined shock of unexpected expenditure and extraordinary sanctions. I expect the Russians to grab at whatever facesaving and politically realistical deal there is (probably fudging Crimea) and boast afterwards they accomplished everything they set out to do. Many whose opinions matter to Putin might disagree.

C'mon. Huffing copium isn't healthy.

Is that Zelensky vid supposed to actually imply he's outside in Kiev or is it just there as a backdrop? It's so unconvincing I struggle to think they're trying to convince anyone with it. For all I know it could be an edit over an easily chroma keyed background, it's that bad.

It doesn't look remotely like he's in the backdrop. It looks like some studio green screen, not done too well. I imagine the Russians would grab with both hands any change to remove Zelenskyy permanently, so I don't imagine too many such appearances in actual reality.

All Ukranian cell cameras are made of potato apparently. Notice the rifle with optic at the end of the video.

I can't read swahili but is the dude the refugee? If so, I am on a plane to go kill his ass and take that Hottie and Her Wall Of Booze as a war trophy....after her STD checkup.

I can't wait for the first Certified Autist around here to prove that "capturd" tanks in that list are just the same tank moved around to different geo-located points 219 times over and over, then blown up for the 220th through 400th picture.

Drag the time bar back and forth. The background would be moving\shading differently from compression...and it ain't.

Just the lighting on zelensky is a give away that he’s not in that location, let alone outdoors.

And you see, this is part of why I hate Telegram. I wanted to post this along with it's second video, but no TG channel offers versions of the two videos where both of them don't have the stupid "medIA is TOO BIG you hav to download TELEGRAM TO WATCH" thing, because that prevents me from downloading it with the converter.

If anyone can get a version of this vid that doesn't have this barrier, that would be great. I've been looking everywhere and couldn't find anything

You're right. When a country is invaded they should always give up because of the loss of life. It does not matter if the country that is invading you has an extensive human rights violation history and views you as inferior and has in the past genocided your people, you should always give up and let them have their way with you.

Also, Christ Above, you people and your genocide, what was the ethnicity of the man who made that call? I wonder how many Ethnic Russians he'd killed as well. Perhaps he was a man who didn't feel much kinship with Eastern Slavs. I'm sure Putin wants to genocide the Ukrainians, that's why he's having all of them shot, right?

"The Russians are killing Ukrainian children, so the Ukrainians should just surrender and suck Putin's cock as enthusiastically as me."

Lol. I'm sure glad the current generation weren't around during WW2, because this kind of weakness would've guaranteed a German/Japanese victory.

Let's have a reality check:

Screenshot 2022-03-19 at 00.01.14.png


The front has barely moved in a week. Frankly, it's barely moved since the first few days of the war. For a myriad of reasons Russia is bogged down and has failed to achieve any of its military objectives. The only significant success was the capture of Kherson, but the Russians can't break through Mykolaiv and push onto Odessa. Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernikov and Kiev remain solidly under Ukrainian control.

The only likely gain we will see in the coming days is the fall of Mariupol, albeit at great cost. Initially I expected Russia to win, even after the initial setbacks. Given we are three weeks into the war and Russia is making no major gains, and is already at the limits of what it can effectively mobilise without suffering even greater logistics problems, and military aid is pouring into Ukrainian armories... I'm not so sure now.

The Russian military was clearly not built or prepared for this kind of warfare. The fact that they still don't have control of the air and cannot keep forward positions supplied and moving demonstrates this. I don't think they can maintain a costly stalemate for weeks or months, eventually they are going to have to negotiate a peace with Ukraine - most likely Ukraine will have to make concessions, but it will remain sovereign.

So it seems to me there is still every reason for Ukrainians to resist, and if they want to live in a free country, that is the only sensible option. Surrender is not the moral option just because it might stop Russia from blowing up more kids. If you really think that, you have a terribly warped perspective.
