Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[Doobedoo]

You also forgot that they helped build the Nazi war machine up in the first place and helped kick it all off by holding hands with the Nazis in thier invasion of Poland.
Then let's not forget the atrocities they committed as well, we may have won ww2 in the west but the eastern nations just replaced one dictator with another and got zero Freedom.

History huh

Did we the west or shall I say the US do that in Iraq?….

US intelligence helped Saddam's Ba`ath Party seize power for the first time in 1963. Evidence suggests that Saddam was on the CIA payroll as early as 1959, when he participated in a failed assassination attempt against Iraqi strongman Abd al-Karim Qassem. In the 1980s, the US and Britain backed Saddam in the war against Iran, giving Iraq arms, money, satellite intelligence, and even chemical & bio-weapon precursors. As many as 90 US military advisors supported Iraqi forces and helped pick targets for Iraqi air and missile attacks.

I think they did. I think they have a long history of supporting and funding dictatorships.

But we like to forget or ignore everything we do and only focus on everything everyone else does.

Ah so you are comparing killing millions, occupying how many nations 15!? for 30 odd years and all that oppression/ lack of freedom etc etc.

Iraq was wrong but we have not imposed our government onto them, nor have we killed millions who dared to think a little different

Two of them in close formation doing laps over Sweeden (ZEUS52 and ZEUS51).

There is a plane belonging to the sweedish airforce off the coast of poland doing laps. (SVF622)

There's a flight looping around Ukraine '633817' on FlightRadar, at 55,000ft, 'invalid transponder' - what's that likely to be?

A drone by the US. It launched from the same location that FORTE11 and 12 launched from.

Edit: Forte11 and 12 are this plane i think

Yeah it'll most likely be the RQ-4.

Dunno, Ukraine could do with bringing Shevchenko out of retirement if they want to win though.

Someone mentioned previously that there are requirements to join that Ukraine needs to meet first.

Edit: MMF99 is a Nato tanker plane. Could be worth watching

Because NATO isn't about to let a country that's in an active war join

I see Putin has taken his play from this tactical masterpiece:

Presumably, it could happen this weekend then I guess? Winter Olympics due to end, Putin doesn't want to upset Xi, at least it seems like they're trying to ramp up the excuses for an invasion.
