The fact that they threw airborne troops at the Gostomel airport near Kyiv on day 2 tells otherwise. They ended up being obliterated because their convoy stalled and never backed them up.Seems a bit of a ridiculous statement given the forces that went in during the first two days. There's no way they'd have expected to progress that distance and take Kyiv.
Obviously a case of talking up their failures.
Lone gendarmerie units from the Rosgvardiya literally drove from Belarus to the near centre of Kyiv on the day of invasion. It was an absolute shit show, very terrifying with the shock and awe tactics in the first few hours, but quickly very baffling.Seems a bit of a ridiculous statement given the forces that went in during the first two days. There's no way they'd have expected to progress that distance and take Kyiv.

I don't believe for a second that the Russian casualty numbers are even half as high as claimed.Yep, and in another month that figure may well hit at least 70,000. The Russian invasion is simply unsustainable.
Why not?I don't believe for a second that the Russian casualty numbers are even half as high as claimed.
Are you using Essien's calculator.Yep, and in another month that figure may well hit at least 70,000. The Russian invasion is simply unsustainable.
The U.S. military estimated that between 5,000 and 6,000 Russian soldiers have been killed. That was 3 days ago. European intelligence estimates give higher figures.I don't believe for a second that the Russian casualty numbers are even half as high as claimed.

We've seen many dumb ideas coming from Russia but this takes theCould somebody who speaks Russian confirm that this translation is correct?
It appears to be a Russian politician suggesting that Russia launches a nuclear strike in the Nevada desert to send a warning to the USA, but I'm not sure if the wording of the caption is accurate. Thanks in advance

The translation is accurate enough but from what I gathered, he's actually saying it doesn't need to be a nuclear warhead and he's basically saying we'll scare the Americans because the risk of 10k casualties will seem like 10m to the US population. I personally don't follow the logic, it feels like something like logic the Japanese devised for Pearl Harbour.Could somebody who speaks Russian confirm that this translation is correct?

Nice, their own product too!
Great to see academy products do well.Nice, their own product too!

Yeah, according to the translation, first he says a nuclear strike, then he says we don't even need to use a nuclear warhead on the rocket, then he says, maybe just a little nuclear strike on the Nevada test range.The translation is accurate enough but from what I gathered, he's actually saying it doesn't need to be a nuclear warhead and he's basically saying we'll scare the Americans because the risk of 10k casualties will seem like 10m to the US population.

The guy is obviously off his rocker since he doesn't even talk about Russia but about the USSR. Small dick mentality and all that.
EDIT: I guess he does say it might be nuclear because he says that's where Americans test nuclear weapons, so there's an implication.
Maybe they should call up India, they seem to have developed expertise in these types of strikes.Yeah, according to the translation, first he says a nuclear strike, then he says we don't even need to use a nuclear warhead on the rocket, then he says, maybe just a little nuclear strike on the Nevada test range.
I'm sure America won't mind at all.
Look up "chinese mre" on Youtube, some dude has tasted it. Apparently it's truly awful.Legend.
Can cup noodles fit the bill instead? I have no clue about what Chinese MREs even look like.
I project russian soldiers will surrender 20mn after they open their first canned century egg.Look up "chinese mre" on Youtube, some dude has tasted it. Apparently it's truly awful.

Was thinking of this. If these Russian heads have family in the UK, France etc, surely that in itself would prevent nuclear war?Funny how Putin's daughter isn't in Russia

I did wonder about this. Perhaps someone will come up with a website where Ukrainians who want to come to the UK (I do genuinely believe by the way that most wouldn't) can register to be linked with those who have a spare room?Tweet

I haven't but I think it says something like "If a Russian farts near to a NATO country then we will immediately instigate WW3 in case Dal thinks Article 5 is nonsense".Your understanding of it is nonsense. Have you read article 5?
Yep, that guy Steve1989MREInfo tasted the Type 13. It looks disgusting as hell.Look up "chinese mre" on Youtube, some dude has tasted it. Apparently it's truly awful.
Seems an omission what a crooked farce they are. Zombify a nation and send them to die, but their own blood can live life to its fullestWas thinking of this. If these Russian heads have family in the UK, France etc, surely that in itself would prevent nuclear war?
This is why I reckon he won't even get close to pushing that button well unless all of this top aids have no family and have dedicated their lives to Putin.Was thinking of this. If these Russian heads have family in the UK, France etc, surely that in itself would prevent nuclear war?

Sergei Lavrov, the warhawk foreign minister also has a daughter who lives in the United States.Seems an omission what a crooked farce they are. Zombify a nation and send them to die, but their own blood can live life to its fullest

They can't really do much given 3/4 of their military is in Ukraine with bits and pieces of the rest spread around Russia, Armenia, and Syria. Finland and Sweden should join now while Russia can't do anything about it. Once they're in NATO, Russia can just complain.The longer this carries on the higher the risk it spirals out of control with other countries being invovled in war. I wonder what Russia will do if sweden and finland joins nato with all the threats Russia been making toward those 2.
Sweden I am sure can stop a similar invasion on its track, they are armed to the teeth and have superb own defense sector. NATO membership will be needed for the deterrent of course.They can't really do much given 3/4 of their military is in Ukraine with bits and pieces of the rest spread around Russia, Armenia, and Syria.

Sweden is also protected by the simple fact that it hasn't got a common border with Russia. Russia would either have to take Finland first, or would have to launch the invasion through the Baltic Sea. Looking at the state of their fleet, that wouldn't be an invasion, that would be a bloodshed. Only Russian blood most likely.Sweden I am sure can stop a similar invasion on its track, they are armed to the teeth and have superb own defense sector.

That's what misinformation does to you. If you really don't have to take on resisting forces, an invasion of Kiyv from Belarus could follow this timeline:
- have a nice breakfast
- get into your tank, drive for a few hours
- stop for a little lunch picnic just outside the city
- drive into the city, arrest the Nazi president, let yourself be celebrated and given flowers by the people
- celebrate, get drunk and sleep
- on the next morning make sure you installed a nice new president and not for example put a horse into office
- drive back. Will take the whole day instead of a half as you are still drunk after your celebrations.
