Hmm. I thought sea horses were banned by the Geneva convention?

The fact that we don't have the stomach to increase our production in the name of "Climate Change" makes me sick. We're financing this madness.
The Ukrainian people are not making this easy for Putin. I hope they bleed Russia dearly.
Only thing missing out of that "theory" he posted is

This is a map of Ukraine occupiers so far.
Attachment 89623
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky refused the US's offer to evacuate him from Kyiv, saying, "I need ammunition, not a ride."
I think he means heavy weaponry, not small arms ammunition. This means surface to air missiles, artillery, armored vehicles, and other heavy infantry weapons. His statement was a metaphor for more weapons to match the Russians. Rifle ammunition is no match for howitzer type shells.
link below is what Ukraine forces are up against. Typical Russian infantry equipment:

If true, they're going to be even more ineffective than we thought. The only way to have an effect on Putin is to show him that he WILL suffer consequences. That takes backbone (Biden doesn't have one and Putin knows it), immediate action (also lacking per the reporter's question about making them effective immediately), and will (the Democrats have only ever shown tenacity and persistence against Republicans and moderates). The heaviest and quickest impact on Russia's economy is cutting their energy revenue.
As far as general thoughts, I am torn. On the one hand, we should not be sacrificing American lives on what is (currently) a European problem. On the other hand, 1) China is looking at this as a test case for action against Taiwan, 2) Bill Clinton promised Ukraine protection against this very action when they agreed to relinquish the nukes left on their soil by the Soviet Union, and 3) letting bullies get away with the small easy stuff leads to the larger conflicts with greater cost downstream. Putin did this same thing to steal back Crimea during Obama's reign, played nice (for the most part) while Trump was in power, and went right back to acting like a hooligan when Biden took office. Kim was acting like a spoiled brat during Clinton's reign, went back to behaving when Bush called him part of the Axis of Evil, then went right back to provocative actions when Obama took office. Biden's inaction earlier and now is leading Putin to keep pushing the envelope. I think we've all dealt with bullies in the past -- you KNOW how they operate.
"Speak softly and carry a big stick." Biden shouts and carries a limp twig.
We can't impact their petro sales when we're a customer. Biden is already unpopular enough at home.
We're living in a progressive bizarro-world now. The Russian invasion is a distraction from the global warming priorities, don't cha' know.
By our past actions under Obama and offering a ride for the Ukraine president instead of assistance, that tells me that our government wants Putin to have Ukraine.
Germany says it's sending anti-tank weapons, stinger missiles to Ukraine
I'm actually stunned that Germany nutted up since they have such a self-induced dependency on Russian natural gas.Quote:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced Saturday that his country would send anti-tank weapons and stinger missiles to Ukraine, marking a major shift in policy for the richest country in the European Union.
The German leader said that the Russian invasion of the former Soviet state marked a "turning point."
"The Russian invasion marks a turning point. It is our duty to support Ukraine to the best of our ability in defending against Putin's invading army. That is why we are delivering 1000 anti-tank weapons and 500 #Stinger missiles to our friends in #Ukraine," Scholz tweeted.
The country will also lift its ban on nations exporting German-made weapons, allowing 400 rocket-propelled grenade launchers to be sent to Ukraine from the Netherlands, according to Axios.
Quote:
Nearby countries, including Poland, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, have begun to send ammunition, fuel and medical supplies into Ukraine as it fights back against Russian forces.
This video says Ukraine has petroleum products that Russia wants. It also states that Ukraine is charging Russia for pipeline that Russia transports natural gas with to the rest of Europe. Then there is the water supply issue with Crimea that Ukraine shut down. Seems like a credible explanation.

Well I don't know how all this is going to turn out, but I am looking forward to the Sabaton song about it.
I'm just so impressed by the fight Ukraine seems to be putting up. And being smart asses while they do it.
Saw a video of a middle-aged women telling a Russian soldier to put sunflower seeds in his pocket so they sprout flowers when he dies on Ukraine's soil.
Saw some Ukrainian soldier apparently talking shit and laughing at all the Russian tanks they've destroyed.
Or the guys on the small island telling the Russians to go fuck them selves.
And some Ukrainians driving by a broken down Russian tank and asking the crew if they need a tow back to Russia.
Plus, I've also heard Russian news websites and TV stations have been hacked and are playing Ukrainian music.
I just LOVE people who are smart asses in the face of the enemy. I don't know any Ukrainians but I'm guessing I'd like them.
Seems like Ukrainian morale is building. The next day is going to be hard on them. But if they can hold out another day or two while inflicting majors losses on Russian troops, the Russians troops are going to start to be demoralized. God willing.
I'll just leave this here.

I saw a blurb where the Ukranian president said anyone willing to fight with them, he would supply the weapons....
Sounds like an opportunity for some crazy students ready for a spring break adventure.
Sounds like Ukrainian forces have completely destroyed a Chechen convoy including 56 tanks.
I guess our antitank missiles are doing their job. Wow.
Anybody on the lookout for T-14s?
Hmm. Now Putin is making some sort of nuclear threat?

Be aware that propoganda is everywhere and is used by all sides. Anyone in this country who has been conscious during the last 3 years should be aware of that. Everything is never what it seems.

Fake news working overtime.
Agree with the propaganda being everywhere - on both sides. As photo montages should not be trusted either, here is the original source of that info which links to the old December 2021 photos to validate the montage.

That said, I haven't verified how high up it originates in the Ukraine press, if it even does. Misinformation is such now that without research, even a false-flag plant can't be ruled out. Unlikely, but not impossible. Ukraine certainly is running misinformation too.
Something I noticed on the "Russian tank" that ran over the vehicle, and the "Russian sabotuers in the truck" videos that were shot up, is that the soldiers shooting the truck up are wholly unconcerned about the armored vehicle that ran over a car behind them. Ergo, they are on the same side (watch the saboteur truck video closely to see the shooters).
One of those two headlines is false - it's either a Ukrainian tank that ran over the vehicle, or a Ukrainian truck that got shot to hell. Which one is true, no clue.
Ukraine is going to be pumping all sorts of propaganda in an effort to keep their people motivated to fight.
Tell your guys that there is some ghost in the skies shooting down all the Russian jets? Or that they are destroying Russian tanks left and right? Or that your president is fighting too? Hell ya, that's a morale boost, true or not. That kind of war propaganda is not exclusive to the modern media or internet.
Looks like airsoft to me
