Can you imagine being those people when the penny drops. One moment you are sitting home, then a few weeks later you are being told to run through a cold muddy field towards a hail of gun and artillery fire wondering how your kids are going to manage without a father.

In a similar vein the situation for many in Ukraine - one moment they are sitting at home the next they are facing potential futures of seeing their living standards and rights, etc. rolled back under Russia - potentially even persecution or death, or having to evacuate in a hurry with what possessions they can for an unknown future, potentially seeing their home turned into a grey wasteland of ruin and/or fighting on the frontline against Russia.

The likes of certain posters here do a lot of hang wringing about the humanity side of it but don't and won't look at the bigger picture and the real realities of the human cost instead of their pretend version of what Putin/Russia is like.
 
12 million Ukranian fled the country at the start because they didn't want to live under Russian rule. For most Ukrainians it's a choice of fight or flee, not many are willing to live with Russian occupation

Re Grid

I saw something a while ago, late summer type time, that said they had been working on grid robustness all summer.
I suspect its going to be a bit harder to create significant outages this year compared to last.

In addition Musk has been sending them millions of dollars worth of Tesla Powerwall units that should help with outages at key buildings

Why is Patriot becoming so effective all of a sudden?

Russia desperately trying to risk more?

It's not that they have become more effective it's how the Ukrainians are using them. The first one from the US was deployed initially in Kiev to shot down ballistic missiles the S300 systems couldn't handle. After the winter they got another one from Germany and in May reports came out 5 Russian aircraft (3 helicopters and 2 Jets) were shot down inside Russia, the only system that was capable of striking that deep is Patriot:

Aircraft Downed Inside Russia By Patriot System: Ukrainian Air Force

Five aircraft that were downed inside Russia back in May were hit by a Patriot missile system, Ukraine's Air Force spokesman says.

There to valuable to be used near the front line but recently they had a 3rd one system delivered from Germany and there's a another one being sent by Japan. The extra systems have likely allowed the air force more options on how Patriot can be deployed.
 
It's not an official government or military video, it's released by a company selling jackets and they are selling the jacket he is wearing

They are both free to go home. But they don’t. Becuase they aren’t fighting over mud hole.

Solovyov says the Americans better hand over all their bases in Europe before Russia takes it by force.

Here’s an idea. If they feel the need to protect Russia, how about building bases in Russian and helping out the Russian economy. Seems like a win win to me


This whole stupid war appears to boil down to an acute case of penis envy.

I’ve never seen anything so pathetic.

They literally are fighting for 1 trench at a time.
You can heroically glorify it all you want but thats the reality.
They can have amazing ideals for freedom and democracy but someone is clearing a mud hole in a field

Chinese guys aren't free to go home, they got dead.

You can pointlessly belittle it all you want, but the reality is no-one is there to fight over a trench.

Belittle it? I think its bloody heroic. No way id be doing it. Somone took this weird heroic angle from me saying how funny it is mercenaries from 2 different cultures could meet on the battlefield.

This is how you spend your xmas? lol
