Isn't applying and joining NATO a lenghty proccess though? how quickly enough are we talking about here?

I'd say pretty damn fast. Finland already meets the spending requirements, and both of them already have some dealings with NATO, especially Sweden. Neither of them have any real blocks to membership either, at least not in terms of corruption or government stability. A lot of their gear is already compatible with NATO already. If they wanted to join, there's nothing really holding them back

It has pretty much been a tacit agreement for a long time that Sweden and Finland will become instant NATO members if faced with hostile action from Russia.

They have an applicant status for potential joiners. Naturally, Ukraine was in this meaningless state for god knows how long.

Plus multiple nato members use military equipment from both of those countries, and they both use western gear as well. They might as well already be integrated from that standpoint.

I've read that one Russian journo got injured some time ago.
I wonder how long till someone ends up dead. Especially if you film like that, goddam.

I will never understand why the Ukrainians just don't throw a paint-filled balloon on it? Then they can't see! Ezpz

Well, except that it would start shit with Russia. St. Petersburg is close to the Finnish border and the Border with Russia is really large.

The Suwalki gap would become strategically useless to Russia since at that point they would share a really large border with the hostile alliance that is very close to the core Russian territories.

Ah yes the official Camo of Globohomo.

I miss the M81 Woodland though that was probably the last time that America was really really stronk since the end of WW2.

I’m no fan of the Ukrainian military, or the brave soldiers of Zion in the Azog Battalion, but the helicopters getting knocked down has hit me in the feels. You survive 8 years of civil war, weeks of brutal shelling, ugly street fighting with Russian islamists who high five and allahu ackbar every time one of your friends die. Finally a chopper arrives to exfil you and you think you’re home free, only to be shot down by the very weapons the CIA gave you to fight the Russians in the first place.

War is heckarino my dudes.

There are political considerations, yes, but Finland is a much different story than Ukraine. Yes st Petersburg would be threatened, but not anymore than it already is with the Baltic states being in NATO, and invading from Finland doesn't give you that straight shot into the Russian heartland over nice flat plains. It's quite a bit more rugged terrain up there.

Shane Matthew is back in the UK.
"Back home after training an entire defence battalion and getting involved in a bit of the fighting! Very sorry to anyone who thought I was dead, but im not! More to follow!!"

Reminder that he went as a sniper, or at least they gave him a big gun to do a little fighting:

But it seems he trained 1000 men in combat first aid:
"I trained 1,000 men in combat first aid. If just one of them saves a life, then the risk was worth the reward. 3 weeks. 3 days. 3 minutes is all it takes to save a life."
Anybody knows what "3 weeks. 3 days. 3 minutes" means? That you can survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water and 3 minutes without air?

Reminder: He's the faggot who gave away his position and that of his team because he needed to post on Tik Tok.
Well, he's back safe in the UK, that's a fact.
In the mean time the vid is offline but for those who want to see it again:

There can be no typo with the Armed Forces of Ukraine if there are no more Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Hard to feel anything knowing that the same guys probably forced civilians at gunpoint to stay behind.

 

[Smity Werbenjagermanjensen]

How much training would an artillery crew realistically need to be trained on British artillery? Looking through their equipment Ukraine is probably getting L118s.
EDIT: Although it could potentially be M777s which are newer but are a heavier artillery, only reason I see it as a potential possibility is the "long range artillery" part and it has significantly more range.

I wonder...

Bernard might as well be bad luck. Here he is in Afghanistan a week before the last province Panjshir fell, which most people thought would not fall so quick.

 

[White_N]

At the Belarusian border checkpoint, a certain Ukrainian, Vladislav Shvets, was detained, who was trying to escape to another country from the draft.


The border guards checked his phone, and it turned out that Vladislav is an Internet fighter with experience. The guy wrote threats to Russians and threw photos of corpses on social networks.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Cyber Forces of Ukraine
This untermensch held neo-Nazi(of course) views and was sending photos of soldiers' corpses to the children of Russia.

 

[Wy4M]

I wonder how major Denis Prokopenko "Redis" is doing. He is/was in Mariupol/Valhalla.
Pro-Russia accounts said that a few days ago a helicopter of snAFU went out to rescue him from Mariupol andthat it got shot down. Since then no confirmations or updates. For now I take it with a bucket of salt.


Some more info about who he is:

If you ever see Bernard-Henri Lévy in your town then the best thing you can do is pack all your shit together and get the hell out asap.

 

[bread n circuses]

Russia is going to claim a wasteland called peace. And the hilarious thing is they did Zelensky a favor by wiping out the Azov. At this stage he no longer needs them, so the fact they held as long as they did is a bonus.

“Killing some of my most dedicated and competent soldiers is actually a win for me” is an impressively retarded cope.

“Killing some of my most dedicated and competent soldiers is actually a win for me” is an impressively retarded cope.

Actually it's not tbh. Whatever the outcome of this war, I think just about everyone, with a few exceptions, will be glad that they're gone. It removes one big potential threat to stability post war.
