I find it comical that they are basically giving out free intel.

Invading for the 'gram.

I feel like we’re deliberately provoking Putin now

As we should have been doing from the start of this, it was obvious literally none of the sanctions was going to stop him, should have armed Ukraine to the teeth long before he invaded

Tape on the back so they can be recognised in a firefight? I hope someone can get a few NLAWS on those *****.

It is clear the coordination on an attack was pure chaos.. How well should we think they actually prepped for a nuke war. I bet they didn't since they seem to have thought Ukraine would be a cake walk.

Pointless. it takes years and years to train a fighter pilot on a specific type. What are they going to do. Sit them in front of DCS and go. Read this manual and away you go?

Not if you provide them with the same type they already fly.

It is fog of war.

If Ukrainian forces are being smashed, they won't report it, as it's bad for morale. If their troops are surrounded and captured they won't be talking to anyone but Russian interrogators. The Russians are most unlikely to release information while operations are active- as that is useful intelligence for their enemy.

Look back to the recent US withdrawal from Afghanistan for how a military operation can be conducted with close to total control of information.

I don't want the Russians to win, but I'm realistic enough to know they might have strategic objectives they can achieve.

Having said all that, I just don't see where they go when this ends.

Why would Russian bots not be filling social media platforms across the world with stories of their glorious victories? They seem to manage to fill it with positive doing on Boris and Trump!

Don't forget all the different experiments on the inhabitants of the bunkers

Good

special alert, on nuclear capability, did sound a bit like the supermarket branding on their better products - maybe it is a bad translation though.
- will cinemas be doing special showing of Dr Strangelove with some deep fake video mods.

Eu member states are going to be providing Ukraine with stuff like Fighter jets etc.

I'm glad the EU are committed to helping, but how exactly is that going to work? I'm not even trying to be comical here but surely the conversation would go like:

EU: We're going to buy you fighter jets!
Ukraine: Great, can you go to Russia and pick us up some Su-27, and maybe some MiG-29 if you have time?
EU: Er, no we just sanctioned them and anyway I don't think they would sell you them right now, we-
Ukraine: Okay, can you go to China and pick us up some Shenyang J-11 please? It's the same plane just made from recycled Coke cans.
EU: Look we're going to send you Eurofighter Typhoons, they're really good honest!
Ukraine: Dunno how to use em mate, we fly Sukhoi and MiG.
EU: We can train you!
Ukraine: Yeah, we're gonna be dead by then mate. You think maybe you could give the Typhoons to Poland and they can send us their MiGs or something?

EDIT: Oh, I guess I've solved it by accident... lol.

If Belarus start supplying troops to Russia then they ought to be included in sanctions too.

Which number site are you registered too?

only the elite and a select number of soldiers will get a space lol.

probably a bunch of oligarchs and tory donors too.

Move to Switzerland they should still have tons of bunkers, they had enough bunkers for their whole country back in the day
