Good news that it’s not all going as planned for him. Hope it doesn’t make him do something *very silly* though.

He’s ruining the country. Personally, I’m hoping someone on the inside decides enough is enough and puts one in the back of his head.
I would imagine most of his personal wealth is in dollars and crypto.

Curious how Russia is claiming complete air superiority over Ukraine.

Flying pretty low for not having to worry about SAM sites, I'd say.



It's be a real shame if several countries were to send hundreds of Stinger (man portable anti aircraft) launchers to the Ukraine, wouldn't it? :lol:

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind...

The video of the guy casually carrying what looks like an anti tank (or at least, anti vehicle) mine off the road and into the forest, with a ciggy hanging out of his mouth, is very on brand for this conflict so far.

True. Although I very much wanted to see him either
1. Put it down without being blown up
2. Throwing it over a cliff or something where it safely blows up

I assume it was 1., probably tucked safely out the way where they can retrieve it easily if they need to.

So France are getting involved as an intermediary... posters on social media confirm that the Russian state media are basically doing all they can to hide what's going on... Ukraine President has now signed the formal application to join the EU... Putin confirms that the reason they put some of their nuclear arms teams on high state of alert was because of comments made by someone he won't name, but who is the British Foreign Minister... how young do some of these Russian captured soldiers look?... Miss Ukraine pictured in fatigues with an automatic machine gun & scope... man carrying landmine off to the ditch while nonchalantly smoking a cigarette... lots of Russian tanks apparently have run out of fuel.... farmer towing a Russian tank away when the crew were presumably off for a pee... those Ukraine soldiers who told the Russian destroyer to go fvck themselves seem to be alive after all... even China seem to be distancing themselves from Putin... I wonder how long the oligarchs are going to put up for their businesses & lifestyles being impacted by the sanctions....

I can't keep up.

What's interesting to me and I don't know why it should come as a surprise to me because its in the Geneva Convention, but there's something reassuring about the fact that the Russian soldiers appear to be largely following the rules about non-combatants - which is why we're seeing things like tanks just stopped in roads by Joe public and the like.
Cheers,

Mike.

If this pretty girl can drive a captured/abandoned armoured vehicle, so can you!

Looks like that clutch is a beast, though.
