Firstly, the generals said Russia had always intended only to 'liberate' the Donbas, that was what it set out to do. It had two options: fight a war in the east, but allow Kyiv to replenish its forces, or start off by knocking out Ukrainian military capacities across the country.

UPDATE: A @WhiteHouse spokesperson tells me: "The President has been clear we are not sending U.S. troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position."

Unintentional benefit of this gaffe, Russia second guesses additional escalation?
Incredibly well made but heartbreaking, infuriating, and so important for everyone to see the infamy of an invasion.

This one is really good as well in Irpin.
I don't understand how anyone could see any of this and make the statement that its demented to supported the Ukrainian resistance while accepting evil just because for the moment it doesn't affect you.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

This is the kind of content VICE became famous for, not the garbage they normally pump out. How horrifying.
The hard feelings expressed by some of the ethnic Russians in the video indicate, to me, that Russia would face a mounting resistance and insurgency even if they maintain control of the Donbas.

That dude no longer had legs.
Could it be as simple as UKR picked and chose their battles (no pun intended) to stretch out the Russian supply lines? So UKR may not have planned as much initial resistance in Donbas.P.U.T.U said:I think the ability for them to use ships as they have bombed the living heck out of the area and then their marines moved in. They also have the ability to supply the region by land and sea, as you saw in the north their logistics was cut off since it was land onlyWaffledynamics said:
Why is Russia so much more successful in the Donbas? I wonder if the Ukes will counterattack there and take it back.

Satellite visual of ship struck and sunk yesterday.
⚡️Maxar published satellite imagery of the Russian ship that the Ukrainian military had struck in the port of Berdiansk, which is currently occupied by the Russian forces.

The March 25 photos reveal "Russian Alligator-class landing ship that’s burned & partially submerged." pic.twitter.com/5p86Jv9ie0
Based on consistency with visually ID'd previous use in Ukraine, Yup.
Looks like they heavily damaged the ship just north as well.
So do we think the Russians are using that?

They're confirmed to be using it, yes. Usage isn't the problem. Usage in civilian areas is the problem.
ok thanks

Airborne no longer applying grooming standards? Or is this the admin / photo op group?
Yes it is.aggiehawg said:
Is this standard everytime POTUS is overseas?Quote:
The US Air Force has sent it's 'Doomsday' plane to Europe as part of a fleet of jets to support President Joe Biden]'s four-day mission to bolster unity against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The E4-B Nigh****ch is designed to be a command and control centre in the event of nuclear war.
The US keeps at least one of the fleet of four on permanent standby for immediate launch in the event of a nuclear conflict.LinkQuote:
One of the jets - which are based on a Boeing 747 and first entered service in the 1980s - flew to RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk yesterday, having refuelled midair while crossing the Atlantic.
The aircraft are designed to survive the electromagnetic pulse caused by a nuclear detonation and maintain contact with US military units across the globe to respond to a hostile attack.
The jets, which have been upgraded since their first deployment are able to pass orders from the president to US nuclear submarines and the country's ICBM silos.
As a result, they have been described as the 'Flying Pentagon'.
Hmm. I know who doesn't have reliable night vision.
but this is a critical example of where words matter......Intent or not, someting like this could be key fodder for Russia to ramp up their actions based on perceived threat......

NEW: U.S. believes Russia has tried to move Russian reinforcements into Ukraine from Georgia, though unclear how many.
