I think the EW stuff is pretty mobile, they have them on trucks. Maybe they ran out fuel for them. Bit worrying when the 2nd largest oil producer in the world runs out of fuel for its military vehivles. Think the quartermaster could be in trouble... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Is there nobody left still sane enough to say hang on a minute, maybe we should try to deescalate this? It's just a constant pile-on of everyone promising to pump more and more weapons into the conflict and adding more sanctions & bans. What's the desired result of firing more weapons in? Without them, Ukraine may well lose and tens of thousands will be dead on both sides. With them, Ukraine might 'win' but it will drag on longer with even more dead. If the sociopaths who run governments and political institutions manage to engineer a situation where we're on the cusp of lobbing nukes across the globe at each other, then us normal folks need to kick the doors in and physically remove them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand how Russia works, yes? Sanctions targeted - and really hurting (as I think they are now actually doing) - at the elite will have Vladimir attempting to exit a penthouse window very soon. Like many of his apparently conflicted critics… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Watching a bit of RT in between the western media and can visibly see the non-Russian presenters shiting it at the thought of being potless and having to return to a possibly hostile reaction at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I remember growing up back in the 80’s when the Politburo was the ruling council and they seemed to pick the oldest guy to be president. Some grey Communist Party careerist would take on the role for the very short period until they inevitably died of extreme old age. I don’t recall ever being that worried it would escalate despite the bombast on both sides. Now we appear to have an angry, paranoid despot in charge without too many apparent checks and balances in place. Maybe it’s my age or whatever but it certainly makes me a bit nervous as to what Putin might be capable of, particularly if he is surrounded by sycophants and has an ideological vision for greater Russia, as I have read elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
