Mr. Sausages Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Russia is sending warships to Irish waters to get ready to cut Internet cables between Europe and the USA. Irish fishermen are heading out to disrupt them. Bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) So, what am I missing? If Russia wish to ensure Ukraine doesn't join a security alliance committed to defending it from Russian aggression, isn't it a good idea not to make Ukrainians feel they need protecting from Russian aggression? The current military build up around Ukraine is absolutely unprecedented. But could a war really break out?

Chinahand Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) The incompetence of the Russian separatist must be really pissing Putin off. This is really dangerous. There is no way they would release these pre-recorded messages without Russian approval. Edited February 19, 2022 by Chinahand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) I think this has already been posted, but it is a fascinating speech acknowledging the huge problems resulting from outsiders drawing lines on maps, but with the peoples affected by these lines pragmatically leaving them in place for a higher vision of peaceful cooperation within & between multi ethnic and linguistic states.

There’s a video on Twitter of a Russian being treated immediately after having his leg blown off by a Ukrainian bomb. Except if you look closely you can see that he’s still wearing part of his prosthetic leg. I.e he never had a leg to get blown off. Amateur propaganda.

Chinahand Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Pity all of Ukraine. Threatened by the jackboot. To humanise it. Pity the guy just going to the local supermarket who gets his car driven over by an APC. Edited February 24, 2022 by Chinahand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 On 2/25/2022 at 8:50 PM, Passing Time said: Standard Fireworks are more dangerous than that As someone trained at the School of Artillery Larkhill I can tell you it's pathetically fake. The 155mm shells used by both sides have a lethal splinter distance of 50 metres and a casualty splinter distance of 100 metres. That means that out of any folks within a 50 metre radius of the strike at least 50% of them will be killed and any folks within a 100 metre radius of the strike at least 50% of them will be seriously injured. Which is why yesterday German manufacturer Rheinmetall received its largest order in company history. A deal with Germany for 155mm artillery ammunition, valued at up to €8.5 billion ($9.1 billion) and which will replenish Bundeswehr, Ukrainian and other allies' stocks.
