Another angle was apparently pried off of whatever remained of a Ukrainians phone of the point-blank tank bang... not using spoiler as the data predictably cuts off before anything nasty could be seen. They were so jovial before
RIP lads.

Thank god the phone wasn't eviscerated along with the Ukies. Footage like this is really valuable

It's so fucking surreal, they're just watching the tank roll up to them and in the last few seconds they're going "Hey...wait a minute...is that...?" It'd be comedic if it wasn't so sad
 
German President Steinmeier wanted to visit Ukraine tomorrow, April 13, together with representatives of other EU countries, but President Zelensky does not want to receive him in Kiev, Bild writes, citing sources in the Ukrainian authorities. The reason is Steinmeier's friendship with Russia, lobbying for the Russian position in the negotiations on the Donbas occupied in 2014 and his commitment to the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.

"I was ready to do it, but I have to admit, Kiev probably didn't want it," Steinmeier said.

"Entrusted".

What. Why is the Pentagon using language like these? Are they done pretending the Ukie government isn't a vassal?
Nah, it's the journo headline. The article itself says a Pentagon representative blurted "We want Ukraine to win, but Washington cannot dicate to Ukraine what this victory should be like", end quote, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Crazy how they're all fawning over this dogshit gypsy country* even while the European economy is self-immolating around them

*No offense, Vince, I love you.
 
The surge of support in the EU behind honest-to-God nazis reminds me of a WW2-era joke about Stalin and Churchill.

C: "Mr. Stalin, what would you do if Hitler was in this very room with us right now?"
S: "I would take a red-hot poker and stick the cold end of it up his arse."
C: "But... Why the cold end?"
S: "So that you couldn't help him pull it out."
And yet it was stalin who cucked-out signing the treaty with ribbentrop and even wanted to enter the axis.

Commies all over the world were told to not criticize the nazis anymore nor support the west to the point that commies like trumbo were anti-war/pro-isolationism only changing their "views" when barbarossa started and new orders came in.
 
Debate's going around regarding the possibility that the Russian tank situation was actually a friendly fire incident.

According to @LeonDead, the tank appears to be a Ukrainian T-64BV, not a Russian T-72.

Still, I see white markings on the tanks, and Russians are no stranger to capturing Ukrainian vehicles and putting white markings on them, so I still think it's a Russian tank. Also, if you watch the original video, there are more than two shots fired.
