"BREAKING: Japan is considering imposing sanctions on Belarus for its role in Ukraine war"

Looks like the sanctions may be expanding

Forgive me for ignorance on this one, but what kind of serious trading was even being done between Japan and Belarus? Just doesn't seem like this small statement matters much. Now when you add it all the other nations around the world getting involved that changes things. Legitimately curious on any kind of Japan Belarus trade.

This whole thing is a dog and Pony show for those with no skin in the game

Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Zelensky admin, claims that the Ukrainian military has killed more than 3,500 invading Russian soldiers and taken roughly 200 prisoners. Moscow has yet to acknowledge a single combat loss. https://t.co/xuCarMBV1j

One point. Russia will not concede defeat. This is going to escalate, and we have no idea how far. They aren't simply going to say "oops" and retreat. Where will that take us?

---

Yep. Thats my view as well.

When you have people threatening to crash the gd international space station, its not a good sign.

My biggest concern is all cyber-warfare on the west in response to sanctions.

This **** is gonna get out of hand.

I'm not optimistic.

And that's the type of rhetoric that moved me from "I feel bad for Ukraine and wish we could do more but there's not a winning way to get involved" to "I hope at dawn we see rows and rows of destroyed Russian mech and a bunch of US f-35s suspiciously landing at various air fields." For me it went from this sucks but isn't our fight to putin is a rabid dog that needs to be put down.

I'm in the same boat. Last week this was Europe's mess then I spent over an hour reading Putin's transcripts and have concluded that he must be stopped.

To make this tactics related, I always viewed Putin as cold and ruthless but also calculating and pragmatic in his pursuit of Russian interests. Putin in his public address is maniacal and out to settle scores and restore the CCCP. In that context, there are no limits to how barbaric he may become to save face if this goes sideways.

As for talks of nukes, I only see them being employed if foreign troops are on Russian soil and threatening Moscow or their nuclear deterrent is compromised.

If I'm not mistaken, the Brits gave them a ton of these. They are carried and operated by one person. Very easy to train and use.

It does not use a traditional target lock system. Basically point at your target for a few seconds and pull the trigger. Uses some sort of magnetic signature matching for guidance. It does the rest of the work on its own, can be programmed to go direct trajectory or top down like a javelin.

Morale seems pretty good, as it should.

Fighting starting up again.

Street-to-street & intense urban combat is underway per Kyiv officials to AP.

Dude. So much respect. But legit, stop broadcasting your location with live-streams.

He's been streaming live from the same place two mornings in a row. It's awesome but also screaming for a Russian sniper. And we KNOW there are Russian SF in Kiev.

Looks like Russia doing a lot of disinformation campaigning. Maybe that's why they've kept the cell service, internet, and power on.

Beware of propaganda. This may be highly exaggerated.

I hope it's correct, though.

Don't use Twitter…. Was this actually "live" on Twitter or was it pre recorded and then posted?

The vehicles have a white "V" letter on its sides and the invaders wear white scotch tape on their sleeves.

r/Russia is actually a different planet right now. Claims they are being met as liberators by Ukrainian population. Claims the Snake Island was a complete surrender of 80 combatants (not the 13). All direct links to the Russian DoD statements.

Unfortunately that's likely all the Russian population is hearing.
