Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Scottyboi]

We're already in it.

Yep, it is just not officially acknowledged.

Yeah pretty sure it was on the news over the past 2 days, piss poor from their leader but I'm not surprised considering his beliefs.

If the invasion had gone to Putin's plan and was fairly bloodless you can be sure that Orban would have been supporting him. He's scum.

 

[blueju]

Nah, you didn't misread it. The Russkies were grossely overestimating their effectiveness. :)

Good, and it’s good to see smaller countries showing some balls and backing Ukraine in the last 24 hrs.

40 mile long armoured convoy heading towards Kiev.

Pfffft, we had a longer convoy goin to notts county ‘89!! Although probably not as heavily armed as the russians

‘Yes, He Would’: Fiona Hill on Putin and Nukes

Putin is trying to take down the entire world order, the veteran Russia watcher said in an interview. But there are ways even ordinary Americans can fight back.

Ignoring the sensationalist headlines, this is a good read.

Good read that

Oh trust me, Poland has had their backs pretty much since day one.

That vast Russian convoy outside Kiev is actually stationary because it has been hit by drone strikes in various places.

NatWest and RBS banking apps down. Not sure they've explained why. Hope it ain't Putin seeking revenge lol

A 40 mile convoy of armoured vehicles should be like target practise.

Unfortunately we can't intervene without provoking a wider war. Which is a shame because a reasonable amount of air power would ensure that the whole lot was toast by this afternoon and the Russians advance on Kyiv would be completely halted.

How fucking wild is it that many of us are just sat going about our day, while checking the internet every ten minutes for updates about a potentially world ending scenario kicking off? Ffs. No wonder I've had a permanent tension headache for a few days.

I used to worry about nuclear war back in the late 70's.
The situation is outside our control, so worrying about it is pointless.
Get on with your daily life mate.
I hope this helps.

It feels like this convoy is the heart of the war.

It's so bloody big, it's so visible, so many military commentators are saying it's such bad strategy, and yet if it gets to and surrounds Kiev then the war is over because millions of people will be cut off from food and supplies.

If it can be destroyed it will be a massive, humiliating blow to the invasion.

Through Poland :)

And the Russian progress is vastly exaggerated. They don't control the key airfield nor do they have air superiority.

They are making progress however. Albeit slow. Turkey needs to send more drones

Hell of a gamble though.

I wonder how many individual vehicles 40 miles equates to. Many will be fuel trucks, get them burning first
