Openly threatening to murder uniformed combatants who have surrendered is reprehensible.
So is said uniformed combatants knowingly firing on civilians who are fleeing or have been told they're being provided safe passage (happening). Note, I'm not in support of either.

Even if that's true, one war crime does not justify another.
Yep, it's one thing to feel that way and act on it, it's another to put that in a standing order from military command.Rossticus said:RebelE Infantry said:Rossticus said:RebelE Infantry said:

Which is why I said that I don't support it. But I understand why they would feel that way. If someone blew up your family and then surrendered, you'd want to smoke them too.

My mistake. Wienies. They seldom impose sentences longer than 30 years, either.jabberwalkie09 said:aggiehawg said:The Russian artillerymen are committing war crimes. They would likely face execution in the ICC anyway.Rossticus said:RebelE Infantry said:

I don't believe the ICC has capital punishment as a sentence.
To put this in perspective, the Dow lost roughly 90% of its value during the Great Depression, but it took nearly three years for it to happen.PJYoung said:The Dow Jones Russia GDR Index, which tracks London-traded Russian companies, has plunged 98% in two weeks. The slump has wiped out $572 billion from the market value of 23 stocks, including Gazprom PJSC, Sberbank of Russia PJSC and Rosneft PJSC (Bloomberg).

Special forces insertion? Or special delivery supply drop? FYI, they just turned off their transponder right after I snapped this capture.
No tankers or E-3s squawking for a while now...just Forte10 taking a look at Kaliningrad and then coming back to fly to Polish Border near Belarus.txags92 said:

Ukrainian sources are claiming that they have recaptured the town of #Makariv west of #Kyiv and a large encirclement of russian troops is forming south of the Kyiv-Zhytomyr highway. #turpo #UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaGoHome #Motti @pmakela1 @eskelinen_antti @AnttiParonen

Wouldn't shock me if we have some guys on the ground, but I doubt that transponder ever comes on if they're involved
Just a bit from personal experience. A consultant buddy of mine represents some Ukrainian companies (he's a former federal official in a prior administration) and has been in daily communication with them and the Ukrainian consul in Houston. He's organized a shipment of donated medical supplies and 5,000 helmets and vests for medical personnel. It's being FedExed to Poland and distributed from there. I can only assume there are a number of like-minded initiatives throughout the West.CondensedFoggyAggie said:
Does anyone have any info of non-weapon supplies streaming in the Ukraine? Food, fuel, medicine, etc. There better be a massive current flowing to the defenders, that can be reached, by now.

Not subscribed to TexAgs so I can't post a picture. And no I was talking about Duke 43. It's off the tracker now for me.
If they were going to be doing something covertly going over the border, I am highly doubtful that the we would ever see it.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry has stated that Japan considers the southern Kuril Islands occupied by Russia.

The ministry stressed that the occupation contradicts international law and added “as does the ongoing Russian army attack on Ukraine”.

What was that about history repeating itself? Successfully stay out of a war in Europe until Japan drags us into it?
