I can fully imagine they are running out of some stuff, also Russia may want China to take a position on the war rather than sitting on the fence.

Yeah, that's how I feel about this, it's more about political posturing, unless things really are more desparate for the Russian's than it even looks and the rest of their equipment etc isn't functional.
I was wondering how long it would take for quotes from another Putin apologist to surface. And he's still on the air on GB NewsThe man has no shame.
I'm not sure if I feel truly sorry or have to laugh derisively at people taken in by Farage - you only have to look at the ads he is in to know he is (a) in it for himself (b) playing people for fools, and if someone is still taken in by him there is something very wrong with them.
If millions, or even tens of thousands were protesting, it would be all over the news. Also, if Russians were protesting in those numbers, there's no way the authorities would only arrest a thousand or so.
Called it.
'Ukraine alleges Russian 'war crime' through use of phosphorus bomb, as American journalist killed.'
If they have a go at Russia over it they can literally just send the USA a copy of their own justification xD
*EDIT*
Seems the post I was replying to was incorrect

They are (sorry for source but its teh first i found)
Anti-war protesters are hauled off streets in Moscow and St Petersburg by riot police | Daily Mail Online
thats 14,000 detained for protesting in 18 days
Puty has so much blood on his hands. How much longer will he be allowed to remain in office / alive i have to ask.
He is crippling Russia too.
Asking China for military equipment must mean he is getting desperate!
He needs to be stopped, asap...
Murderous buffoon he is.

Yup.
Weird one from an electrical motorcycle perspective people could get one built better than retail units by buying direct and having custom made kit for pennies on the cost
China is an odd duck
The Russian military tech is not always what it seems. Evidently, they only have a total of 10 next-gen fighters (theoretically the best in the world, but only 10).
Their really high end stuff should be seen as a halo product (much like a Supra gains brand attention and Toyota sells other cars as a result)
Essentially they are trying to present themselves as a technologically superior country militarily in order to gain volume arms sales of other equipment
He will be well aware that the only way others have out of this is to kill him.
He's apparently adopted that 'all or nothing' mindset which makes him very dangerous. He'll also be increasingly paranoid, further isolating himself from anyone he considers a potential threat - and thereby becoming more insular and potentially less grounded in "facts on the ground" reality.
Sound familiar? Some other despotic leader who was making decisions that everything must burn - all or nothing - their (own nationality) people don't deserve to live if they are weak.
I saw one very good sign at a protest (on TV) "Can we please just fast forward to the bit where you kill yourself in a bunker?"

Yep
In the medium to long term, yes he is.
He is well protected by a lot of people who long ago tied their destiny with his - for their own advantage of course. If Putin is ousted, their world will collapse, so to speak. Possibly their lives will also be literally at stake.

I guess bullets are chemical weapons because the powder used to propel the bullet is made up of chemicals
You didn't read the article did you

Pretty much sums up the situation. I can't help but think there has to be some hardliners in Russia who aren't going to be happy Russia's future being about being a Chinese protectorate.

The article says they used phosphorus during an attack not that it killed the journalist.
So far the only excuseqble (questionable) use for ph is in smoke screens the article doesn't report that.
The article is careful but there really is no way of proving phosphorus attacks afterwards without a lot of work, even despite it being in an artilary target zone
Dont take too much from that Akrotiri is one of the few places its licensed to fly from, probably just trials/training.
