WW3 -All Russia / Ukraine stuff here please-

[HomerJSimpson]

I caught the end of it on the news, I think their mum’s took them to lay flowers at the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow. They were all (children included) rounded up and taken to jail. Video of children crying in the cells not really understanding what is going on.

That's disgusting on every single level

Could be javelin, request went out on our group for javelin and stinger instructors, but those are not that well armoured and could be RPG.

Could it be a bunch of Molotovs thrown at them. I notice someone lobbed something at the end.

Good tactical move by the Ukraine, good way of the true story to get out to the back woods of Russia.

Or hire a good hitman or snipper

Without anasthetic?? That'll learn him

That Russian 40km army convoy has stalled apparently because it has run out of fuel. And Russia is the world’s largest producer of hydrocarbons. Yes, as Putin says, it is all going to plan

Nobbling Rommel's fuel supplies was a key factor in the WW2 Desert War win.
But certainly ironic - if true.

Oops, but both are still a great ideal pmsl

Just woken up to the news that Russia have targeted and shelled Europe’s largest nuclear power plant situated in the Ukraine. Luckily the fire was just a building and it’s been extinguished however it’s acts like this that mean we’re now moving very close to the rest of the world having to get directly involved. Pretty worrying.

Get the feeling that, if Putin isn’t taken out that WW3 is almost a certainty whether it be for this conflict or one further down the road.

Sounds like another smart move by the Russians. Risk a huge nuclear meltdown in a country on your border. Although, it might result in a fairly rapid retreat out of Ukraine

Got to say I'm feeling your pessimism. Clearly a man without a grip on reality

Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity
Some of us go down in a haze of publicity
The price of infamy, the edge of insanity

Ditto!

Consciously sending missiles into a nuclear power plant seems so unimaginable that it feels like it's just a matter of time now before the west reluctantly accept that we've got no choice but to wipe him out. Very scary times these.

I’m sure I just heard that Putin is drafting up those arrested for protesting against the war

That's what happens when you send untrained troops without maps.
Doubt they knew what was there.

I would have thought the Russian's couldn't be that inept, although nothing would surprise me after what has gone on recently.

Suggestions that it was an intentional attack on a nearby building, to force them to shut the plant down and harming the Ukraine's electricity supplies. If that was the case, it looks like it has worked.

Someone has more faith in the Russians than I do however those in the South appear to be far better trained than those in the North.

And if anything like the UK, better golfers, better looking and richer too

Wonder when the run on hazmat suits will start.

Surprised there isn't a run on toilet rolls, bottled water and tinned stuff already

There's a good read on the Russian Way of war by Dr Les Grau.

The invasion doesn't look to be slowing, It looks to be going exactly to plan for Putin.

I think most people realise that if they do start hitting red buttons all you need to do is bend over and kiss your ass goodbye....

For the first time in this mess, I’m starting to feel similar. Last nights speech he sounded exactly like a deranged abusive husband threatening to kill his wife (Ukraine) who wants to leave … how can you negotiate with a person like that, who’s already armed and killing and willing to take the rest of the world down with him.
