Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Keith Moon]

Not just anti-tank weaponry. Shells etc too

They are on the Polish border distributing them across the Ukraine is the issue. Food etc also.
Logistics across the Ukraine with Russian air-superiority is the issue.

Plenty of supply on the way, but as you say, distribution in Ukraine a big problem.

Ukrainians soldiers apparently having psychological problems....from killing so many Russian soldiers - 'we feel like butchers.'

Could be bulshit but thought I'd post it anyway. Twitter

Let's hope they get used to it because there's a lot more to come.

Do you have any clue how many civilians were killed in Iraq alone - it's estimated to be about 14k, by allied forces.

It also left both countries in ruins.

The reason I brought this up was because you are trying to draw parallels to "other fighters following orders".

I disagree with our motivations for going into Iraq but to compare that conflict and this one (I am not even mentioning Afghanistan), to compare British soldiers to Russian ones here, is disgusting and you’re a fucking **** for comparing the two.

Be a shame if they all froze and starved to death in that stationary convoy.

But I’m not supposed to revel in such ideas according to some on here, because they’ve all got mums at home.

They’re only “following orders”. Now where has that defence been used before…

I never mentioned their mothers, nor following orders. I’m sure the vast majority of us want to see Ukraine defeat Russia, by whatever means necessary. However, personally I don’t want to see Russian soldiers burn to death, freeze to death, starve to death, or whatever else you can dream up for them?

Pretty much my thoughts.

The coalition troops were literally greeted by cheering crowds and it was only as clearing out Saddam became occupation that the Iraqi’s started to turn, and only 1% were ever insurgents according to that former soldier whose thread I tweeted earlier.

Comparing it to this invasion is so stupid the only other person I’ve seen do it is Putins UN envoy.

I had family there so not taking that shit.

We went in to fight evil, made fuck ups, probably caused more damage than good in the end but our lads were fighting an evil despot.

What Russia are doing is attacking a peaceful nation that has a good leader all for their own view of creating a new Russian empire.

I would concur 1-2% would try to kill you, 8-15% were wearily as fuck about you, the rest you generally pretty happy you were there. Those numbers will be totally reversed for a Russian during occupation in Kyiv
