Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[Redhorse]

They didn't want the SU-22s, All Mig 29s, and a few SU-25s

I wondered how long it would take for this to happen.

Nope. "Kyiv" is the Anglicized version of the Ukrainian word for the capital city of you know, Ukraine. "Kiev" is Anglicized version of the Russian word. The Rooskies changed the name as part of the Russification during the commies' benevolent subjugation of the area.

I get that, but we are speaking/writing in English, at least most of the time. So let's all use the English version. Again, if someone's a Uke, spell it anyway you want.

It's like the people on local news that can't just say a Spanish name in an anglicized way, they have to pronounce it like they were addressing Philip VI of Spain. Oops, I mean

Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Grecia

Completely unbiased map. ISW Is a bunch of schollars that study wars. They have been really fair about studying the conflict.

Russians are close to bringing a second pincer into Kyiv, but it wont cut anything off.

Most success has been in the south, with some Russian Marines.

I'm not sure if any amount of aid short of joining the war, is going to turn back the tide.

That's about the same progress the Nazis made into Poland during the blitzkrieg, over the same amount of time.

Well, if you believed the quickly deleted press released, Russia expected this to take 2 days.....

Lots of propaganda flying every direction.

Do you think the west want to glorify the speed of his invasion?

What is a ‘vacuum bomb’ that Ukraine says Russia is using?

Russia-Ukraine war: Ukrainian ambassador Oksana Markarova told reporters that Russia has used a thermobaric weapon, which is also known as a vacuum bomb, in its invasion of her country.

Where's Kremlin's propaganda though? Genuine question.

(I mean, aside from me being the KGB operative locust dead weight, but that's another story from another thread.)

As for the Kremlin actually doing it, I actually don't know or haven't seen anything of consequence.

As for edgelords defending Russia at all costs blindly, I see lots of manufactured stuff floating around. Zelenskyy made it kind of easy to propagandize himself, since he was a comedian and played dress up, lol.

What I see the most of is bleeding heart liberals who couldn't find Ukraine on a map for $1000 touting how it stands as a totem for gay rights and multicultural democracy. Which is about as close to parody as one can come without being ironic. I also see a lot of vehicles from previous conflicts, destroyed, that have been photoshopped to appear as if they're part of this conflict.

I always wondered how insane the liberal media would get with propaganda during a war, this answered my question lol.

More on those mercenaries Russia sent to assassinate Ukraine government leaders...

Putin's private militia with orders to kill Zelensky

The Wagner Group - which is believed to have a hit list of 23 key figures including the Klitschko brothers - is considered by military experts to be at Putin's beck and call.
