What gets me is how clean her boots and clothes look in the top picture
This is very poor reasoning.

Very effective for room clearance, though the common Russian use of body armour would greatly reduce the chances of one shot kills unless using shotgun slugs. As there’s AK variants available everywhere and they’re no longer than a combat shotgun, one of these would be a much better choice for shooting between buildings and in more open areas.

What a pointless war this has been. If anything Putin has highlighted how poor the Russian military is. But that doesn't mean they can't nuke and erase half of western civilisation. They are now saying that the Russian soldiers aren't happy - good. And I saw a video of Russian civilians queuing and fighting over bags of sugar. So they don't have sugar but they have some nukes.
I don't know what people look to for coverage of the war but you have to take everything from twitter and the like with a mountain of salt until it can be verified by the actual news outlets - then you just pick the ones you trust. All the ones with boobs in. That still happens right? BBC and Guardian for me
When someone says this is from the front line etc; it might be - it might not be. It needs to be verified, then we can talk about.

Care to elaborate as to why?
As I say, Trump imo was not a great President but, he didn’t start any conflicts - unusually for a U.S. President - and certainly seemed to have his adversaries scratching their heads as to handle him, most seemingly erring on a cautious approach.
Ahh apologies, it does seem to be a new development.
I meant that Ukraine seems completely unwilling to settle for anything less today then it did a month ago with regards negotiations. I don't think any nudging from the West is going to make a difference there.
Why the **** should they? They are the ones that were invaded.
I noticed that Russian boat that was blowed up in the port was also really old

Can't believe people still think Trump would have prevented this. He was praising Putin for being a genius and savvy 3 weeks ago for this invasion of Ukraine and only changed message when it was clear he had read the room very badly. This is the guy who you think would have stood up to Putin? US would likely be even more detached from NATO under a second term, he wouldn't have raised a finger, let alone spent hours on the phone rallying allies to help Ukraine. Political pressure would have eventually forced him to do the absolute minimum but it would have been too late by then. Biden is an old man who should be sat in his slippers enjoy his last few years but give me him over someone who didn't believe in NATO, kissed Putin's arse at any opportunity and had no time for US historical allies. He tried to extort Ukraine for a few javelin missiles, just imagine what he'd want for any serious military and political support.

Which conflicts did Obama start?
Most of the Russian Navy is really old with very, very little that's new since the mid 90's (save for a few submarines and lighter surface vessels) - amphibious vessels always seem to be the last to be updated too probably because they're the least used.
The UK's 60's era amphib vessels (The Fearless Class) were only decomissioned in 1999 and 2002
Obama sent troops to Libya (twice), Uganda, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. It's up to you to what extent these count these as "starting a conflict", and there's also the US military involvement in the Persian Gulf initiated by Trump to consider.
I don't think I even knew about the action in Uganda until I looked that up.
