This doesn't make any sense to me. Why would the Azov boys put a swastika on their enemy, normally you put the enemies symbol on them, so people know they were enemies and that's why they were killed.

Because maybe it’s just Russian propaganda because “Ukraine bad” I doubt any of the “azov bases” are real trusting anything but what you saw first hand is a spook anyways

So some of the Putinbros will know that I've said some shit they don't agree with, but here's something that will probably please them lol (I try to be as unbiased as possible, but I know I have biases).

I saw a few articles yesterday in western media saying Ukraine was gaining tanks and aircraft because they were abandoned. I read today that they are asking NATO for 1% of their vehicles. This doesn't make sense, does Ukraine have the personel to man this extra fire-power? Or are they planning on unloading these on barely trained military or citizens as if they were a meagre AK/M4? Haha

If this makes sense to anyone else, please explain.

The captured tanks probably are fucked due to them being mostly abandoned ( probably not just from lack of gas and more likely because some Russian quartermaster “barrowed” the funds to fix them to use in his vodka fund)

Combat vehicles, or logistics vehicles? If they're asking for tanks, that's either rank stupidity, or they're also asking for several months of hands-on training time, possibly in the hopes of having them ready for the summer tank season. If they're asking for trucks, that's pretty self-explanatory.

I'm not doubting some of them were/are fucked... The 'official' reports were that they had more fire-power than before the war though, implying they had seized possibly hundreds of tanks and aircraft. Then a day later asking for 1 in every 100 NATO vehicles. This is either unsustainable (imo - massive influx of training) or a plea for more because they're struggling?

All vehicles, in every category if I wasn't mistaken or misdirected to the news reporting it. 1% of uav, tanks, aircraft, etc etc.

You can google exactly what was said. I'm pretty sure you can just google "ukraine gained tanks" and "Ukraine nato 1%" and find lots of MSM articles about them from the last day or so.

Zelensky has a pattern of asking NATO for anything and everything short of an outright nuclear strike. It definitely grates on some of the people here, but perhaps it's a tactic of "beg long and hard enough, and eventually someone will give you something". He's caught in a war for the life of his nation and himself personally, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's just throwing requests at the wall and seeing what sticks.

 

[ulsterscotsman]

That's horrible. You know what they did to her before they killed her. But these are the "good" guys our tax money is flowing to, and it's OK she was raped, tortured and murdered because Russia is bad.

There's a lot of lib shits and the like on twitter cheering for and/or making excuses for warcrimes committed by Ukrainians. It's fucking surreal.

100% agree, and it's showing good leadership. In my opinion. I just find the gaining tanks and needing tanks thing a bit hard to fathom, both posted by western media in the last 24 hours.

The real question is, is any of the EU nations even willing to spare a few of their vehicles to be wrecked? They're probably well maintained at least, but most militaries don't have decades of surplus sitting around waiting to be reactivated like both Russia and US does.

Surprisingly pretty good takes for the most part, but I don't know why they think the Ruble would replace the Dollar and not the Yuan as the world's reserve currency by the logic they're using. If the US economy collapsed, China would almost certainly start annexing damn near everything they wanted which would certainly mean they'd have far more natural resources than Russia.

We all know that Russians are a stand-in for what they want to do to their domestic political opposition

I have two explanations for that. 1) the article says aicrafts and tanks, they probably need aicrafts more. 2) Actually what I think it is - it is a direct quote of Zelensky, who is not a amilitary man and doesn't have to be one, honestly. What Ukraine has been asking is offensive weapon and anti-aircraft means, something more serious than NLAWs, Stingers and Javellins. I have read about S-300, which is a non-military man can somwhat call "a vehicle". The main problems for Ukrainians is that they do not have enough weapons to conduct any serious-scaled attacks, they can significantly slower down Russian advance, but no capacities to overthrow the general direction of that war.

If the US is paying for their replacement they might be willing.
