I don’t hate the west I live here in England. Why are you so blinkered. You’re claiming on one hand Russia is an evil empire committing atrocities in Ukraine and elsewhere but you don’t seem to share the same resentment in what we are responsible for. I have no dog in this fight I’m as English as anyone here but not so patriotic as to condemn with one hand yet cover my eyes with the other.

Yes I hope countries and people remember the countries not doing the right things in such times.
very sad times
Sadly she's gone
I was gutted to hear this not just because I love planes but because she was a very well respected symbol of Ukraine and she was used in so many missions for good and moving cargo that could not be moved in any other way and of course her main use and reason she was built the soviet space race and the Buran (Soviet space shuttle).https://www.space.com/buran-shuttle-carrier-plane-antonov-an-225-mriya-destroyed-russia-ukraine
There is a second fuselage that was not completed but no idea if they hit that too, but Mriya was the only fully built and flying Antonov AN-225 and no others in the world

You think they will hold back regardless?
Get the MRLS pointed at the supply convoy and wipe it out, the Russian advance will be dead in days, reports they are already out of food/fuel and if this convoy gets taken out it could let Ukraine start pushing back.

This^^ He would basically be signing the death certificates of his children and family. Maybe they don't die in the nuclear exchange but Russian cities are turned to glass, if the radiation doesn't get them disease and famine probably would. Those billions of $ he's stolen will be worthless. Also I just don't see the military following through on a launch order if Russia isn't being attacked. They've all got families as well. Far easier to remove Putin from power than authorise the end of the world.
Both sides are quite clearly holding back and I've seen no evidence of the TOS-1A being used so far. As soon as they use a weapon like that and what little munitions come with it, it's fair game for Russia to unleash all they have.
Yeah I grew up in that era, was a young teen watching the news about the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Storming of Ceausescu's Palace by civilians with AK47s, the fall of the Soviet Union, all of it crystal clear. I paid very close attention to it. Was always dubious about EU expanding so far east as Russia were always likely to want some revenge for lost territory.
Also this goes back a lot further to WW2 and Germany invading Russia, this is based on some old revenge from very old conflicts. Putin mentions it as much multiple times in his recent statement regarding this invasion of Ukraine.
In the 80's Russia were scary in terms of their govt but anyone visiting Russia would report that people loved the Western way of life and were good people, same as now mostly, but then had barely any decent goods, people would leave Levis jeans and Western music for the Russians they'd visit. A genius like the creator of Tetris couldn't make any money from their state owned creations. Reports of lifestyle at the time was barren stores and few, if any luxury goods. A far cry from the soft capitalism they adopted since then.
But they now have a complete idiot in charge who has guaranteed his own destruction. He could have carried on for 20 years if he hadn't committed this invasion. Men like Gorbachev were more reasonable with a lot more at stake.
Two sides to everything, but this will harm innocent Russians as much as anyone else, once more their people will arguably suffer the most of all due to their leaders.
Hence why he has sent them to a nuclear underground bunker.....
But I do agree, I think someone would step up before it came to that.
BBCs take on that last part though:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60551140
There are threads, asking where his are and if his contributions are as numerous as in this one? If not he’s being hypocritical.
It being off topic was also exactly my point.
We all know there are other awful conflicts going on in the world. He seems to think because we’re more worried about a huge war in Europe involving Russia and potentially NATO that we’re morally bankrupt. I find that frankly offensive
Looks more like one of the symbols is on Odessa which is the bottom left of the Ukraine
Moldova has the long thin bit at the bottom of the country so the land below to the right isn't theirs,
That isn't true, because they export as much as they import. It is just chesper to import from dome countries and export to others. They don't have import much oil at all
I can see Putin trying to stir up trouble.. fortunately the west aren't going to got around arresting and torturing russian employees. Putin's War not innocent russians.
lol just saw a video where they cling film a guy to a tree for looting
Could be worse, a guy tried to steal drugs from hippies in a place called tepee valley in Wales.
They tied him to a tree and force fed him 50 doses of LSD.

I could be wrong but I think that's the Russian recognised state of Transnistria (basically a breakaway part of Moldova)
My knowledge on this though is entirely based on Bald & Bankrupt's videos mind so questionable at best
