Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Gabriel]

Not a good idea. Unless they are military targets.

Appears to be military targets, perhaps directed at some of the sites where missiles were launched from this morning.

Really depressing this, the more strategic gains and victories Ukraine make on Russia the more it makes them lash out with shithouse missile strikes. The West made a massive error letting Russia annex Crimea with out any recourse and has led to Russia believing it is entitled to come back for the rest of the country. Now we are where we are with it really starting to ramp up.

I wonder what that prick Elon Musk thinks towards Russia now? Only last night was posting a story on how taking an eye for an eye is the wrong route...

Rightly so. Far too much personal/tactical information can be gleaned from coverage, no matter how well-intended and innocent it might appear to be. Ukraine currently has the reconnaissance advantage in the field, so the last thing it needs is to give anything to the Russians.

Absolutely.

Longish thread but both interesting and revealing about what can be done to protect Ukraine from attacks such as this morning.

I get the feeling that this is a real turn for the worse, it just feels like a tinderox at the moment

The West made a massive error letting Russia annex Crimea with out any recourse.

Correct. But the next mistake would have been to let Russia get away with invading Ukraine - fortunately the collective West have seen the error of their ways and backed Ukraine to the hilt. This is the only reasonable course of action once Russia refused to engage in diplomacy before the war started.

The BBC journalists must be bricking it now that Kyiv and Lviv are being targeted.They've been hiding out in the relative safety of these cities throughout the war. I've not seen much frontline reporting from the beeb.

Another bbc dig, ffs

Such missiles Russia still has; it has built many but the supply isn't limitless

Definitely not limitless. With sanctions in play and China trying to keep their nose clean it's also doubtful they can manufacture more.

Big mistake.
