I mean, during the George Floyd riots you had people pulling down statues of abolitionists while screaming about racial inequality.
Not to derail too much but that is a sign of polarization more than anything else. Those protest were more about polarizing the public to either side A or B even when both have their healthy dose of retardation. Do tearing down statues of Confederate generals and/or abolitionist help further the cause? Not really, but it looks really fucking cool on lefty Twitter and/or makes good symbols for conservatives to rally around. This is as someone who thinks the cops in the US could stand to have better training/resources so the bad ones can't have that as an excuse when they fuck up and abuse their power. Conversely, maybe having a segment of the population embrace a culture of criminality and be excused for it doesn't benefit anybody.

Going back to Ukraine, I see the destruction of those statues as similarly symbolic, and similarly impotent , gestures. What is interesting to me is that they exemplify what is going to be the likely result of the war: an overtly nationalistic Ukraine that is still going to be a constant concern for Russia and the West. Whatever territory they take or arrangement they make, those hardcore elements of Ukrainian nationalism will likely be at the forefront going forward, and wouldn't be surprised if in ten years another go around starts, but this time with a better prepared and/or more fanatical Ukraine.

Huh.
So boots really do get looted from dead soldiers.
I assume the corpse boots were better than what they were wearing.
Yes good boots are priceless in the field. You come across a better pair than what you have that fits at least kinda well you're gonna take em. Especially in a place like eastern Europe where you need good valenki in winter for the it's so fucking cold and quality galoshes in autumn and spring for the everything has turned into mud at least 3 feet deep
 
Fuck, they're onto me.

In a possibly connected update to a Russian weapons research facility going up in smoke in Tver today (currently 7 reported dead), now the largest chemical factory in Russia, the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant, largest producer of chemical solvents in the country, has also caught fire in the city of Kineshima with reported heavy damage

Could be coincidence, both fires could be accidents, one could be and the other not, or both could be and definitely are glownigger Mossad ops
 
I don't see the point of banning not-doped Russian athletes from international competitions

Admittedly that's like 0% of the athletes on Russian national teams but there are plenty of Russian athletes who compete independently of the national teams
Banning athletes over a war is gay but the doping thing is understandable. It's collective punishment, as in "you people can't keep your shit together so now we can't trust the clean athletes either".
If Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovsky belonged to a national team and then went independent that's just trying to get around the ban. People who were independent pre-ban should be grandfathered in, though.
And as Nate Diaz said:
The Russians just got careless.

Ukranians around Kyiv upset at the local grunts for trying something. Probably tired of having arty parked against their homes and having their gardens mined by the forces that are supposed to defend them.
Wonder how long till they end up dead and declared Russian saboteurs. I hate this war so much.


 
A small renovation. The tank tower in Mariupol got stuck in an apartment on the fifth floor of a residential building.


A night battle, somewhere in the Kharkiv region Nothing is clear, but it is very interesting.
 
Why was it demolished in the first place?
Probably got caught up in the general "destroy all Soviet monuments" that's going on in Poland. Which is really a long time coming, for all the seething that Pro-Russian accounts are doing calling the destruction of Soviet monuments "the destruction of Nazi liberators" or something, Poland was arguably being genocided by the Russians before even Barbarossa. Poland has every reasonable reason to absolutely despise and loathe the red army.
Oh yeah the facility in Tver does ballistic missile research, catches on fire right after Putin publicly jerks off about his Sarmat ICBM

HMMMMMMMMM
I find it hilarious how the only "super weapon" Russia has hyped up in the past decade or so that will actually reach reasonable production is going to be an ICBM. There's good reason only Russians or Pro-Russians actually hype it up.
