Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

[Roger Wilco]

Very nice!

"Russia wants us to support them but we don’t recognize Crimea, or Donbas. Yes, we are in a union with Russia but it doesn’t apply to this situation. We won’t help Russia avoid US and EU sanctions.” - Deputy chair of the presidential administration in Kazakhstan.

Now is the time to break away.

Not something you see every day (well, at least outside of Luhansk / Donetsk…). Scratch one state of the art Russian “Apachisky” attack helicopter.

False.
The assertion that we're insignificant on a cosmic scale is conditioned on the premise that our story ends here, now.
Big things have small beginnings.
I'd like you all to start thinking big.

I think we are insignificant in the ginormous universe, just like one human life is insignificant among the entire human race. Even the lives of those that we think are significant, like a billionaire ceo of a huge corp or the leader of a nation, if they die suddenly, the world will just keep turning and they will soon be forgotten. The universe was running its course before human existed, and will keep running when human cease to exist.

Doubt they have anti-handling features but I wouldn't wager my life on it. Wait for the engineers.

Engineers have arrived:

Obviously the Ukranian Nazis hijacked the Jewish Space Laser and fired on the fuel depot

For your amusement, precision missile strike uploaded as propaganda by the Russian Ministry of Defense. No, seriously, this video is from the Russian MoD:

Managing to hit an empty courtyard (in the middle of a railway maintenance facility) takes expert targeting skillz.

I don't have a problem with the Ukrainians striking depots inside Russia since Russia started the war. As long as the Ukrainians aren't indiscriminately bombing Russian civilians I suspect we are going to turn a blind eye to limited incursions aimed at disrupting supplies for the Donbas front.

Totally agree. Russia started this war, nothing wrong with hitting military targets within their territory. i don't want this to be another Vietnam where we fought with one hand tied behind our back for fear of upsetting the Chinese/Russian "consultants" in North Vietnam.

Abso-fucking-lutely...Russia started the shit...don't complain when Ukraine hits back.

This will leave the eastern Russian border vulnerable most likely. Golden Horde+Sarah Palin will reclaim the Khanate/backyard.

They have a lot of troops illegally over in Ukraine that they could pull back to reinforce their Western border...

reports the Russian gov limiting fuel purchases as a result of the strike on that tank farm

Another couple months of this and NATO will be facing off with T-34 formations.

 

[trenchfoot]

With their media outlets under total control of Putin, it's pretty clear how that attack on the tank farm is going to play out for the average Russian locked into viewing state run media.

Lol! Clearly I’m in the minority here, so I hope you are correct that NATO will turn a blind eye. I really want Ukraine to get more offensive weaponry - especially for use in the Donbass, South east coast on the sea of Azov and Kherson.

First Javelin strike I've seen from this war:

Like I've said on a few occasions, many people actually prefer to be told lies. Truth makes them uncomfortable. However, there ARE those who prefer the truth, and they are and will remain highly skeptical of Russia state sponsored media, especially after all the independent media have been squashed.

Htf are they getting that footage (particularly the second part)?

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Htf are they getting that footage (particularly the second part)?

Ukraine is using a lot of drones to spot enemy positions and coordinate strikes rather effectively.

 

[pmv]

Htf are they getting that footage (particularly the second part)?

From a drone?
Though seems one has to take it on faith that the first part and second part are footage of the same event. For all I know they could be two unrelated bits of war footage stuck together.

The target was the ground. Obviously they couldn't hit it if the missile ran into shit on the way down.
