  1. Russia-Ukraine live updates: Putin says 'certain positive movements' in negotiations - ABC News ABCNEWS.GO.COM Live updates on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Looks like they are gonna start using chemical weapons.
  2. One takeaway from this whole affair is that if there was any doubt that drones are the now and future of combat they can rest. The combat pilot is going to be phased out within the next 20-30 years.
  3. I expect Russia to keep shelling cities and Ukraine to keep grinding them down. I'm fairly certain Russias strategy right now is to keep killing civlians as a way to get favorable terms on a deal.
  4. Bayraktar killing the thing that is supposed to counter it. Jesus the Russian military is a piece of shit. Just goes to show you when you have corruption baked into the system everything is fine until you have to do something.
  5. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich added to UK's Russian sanctions list WWW.ESPN.COM The U.K. government said on Thursday it had imposed asset freezes on seven Russian businessmen including Roman Abramovich. My wish from the beginning has come true. lol get rekt bitch.
  6. McDonald’s is closed in Russia: Hamburgers are on the black market POLITICSHEADLINES.COM The company's CEO, Chris Kempczinski, announced yesterday that the company will temporarily close 850 restaurants in Russia due to the war in ... McDs striking a blow to the heart of the Putins government
  7. As I said previously its pretty clear to me killing civilians now is part of the strategy because they are desperate. The Russian advance is falling apart and reinforcements are not coming.
  8. They still have a role but they are very situational and require lots of support. On flat wide open hard ground where infantry can't hide and there is infantry/air/drone support they can move very quickly over the battlefield and provide lots of support firepower. But they are very much niche otherwise and the military should be focusing on light fast moving vehicles, light artilery and drones.
  9. On the plus side my OXY warrants have been going bananas. Slightly makes up for the rest of my portfolio getting wrecked.
  10. I think that has yet to be seen. You can't brute force through anything if you don't have the capablities to get your shit where it needs to be. And with western weapons and intelligence I think it will be very difficult for them to hold any territory they take especially with a hostile population. Its one thing to take territory its another to keep it. And while the Russian military looks massive on paper, with the corruption and lack of basic maintenance of vehicles I don't think they can just activate the rest of their military. It will take them months to years to get the full brunt of their military operational and in the meantime their troops and equipment are going to get meat grindered and sanctions are going to crush their ability to pay for things.
