Ray Patterson Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Poland is a modern military with a professional army and modern equipment. Russia have taken about 100km of territory in 18 months of war against a country a third their size with absolutely no natural defences. Poland wins that battle every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Russia launched missile strikes against Odessa last night, severely damaging the Orthodox Cathedral. This is a UNESCO heritage site. Worth noting when Russian goons and Western idiots spout on about Russi being in defence of Christian values as some of them are wont to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Russia deliberately targets civilian targets, especially hospitals - https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj.p451 Quote the report said there was a “reasonable basis to believe that attacks on Ukraine’s healthcare system constitute war crimes and comprise a course of conduct that could potentially constitute crimes against humanity.” It highlighted that across 10 regions, 48 hospitals were hit multiple times, suggesting they were being deliberately targeted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Reports that Russia has advanced in Luhansk around Svatove. Units in that area include some re equipped VDV. Ukrainian advances in the South have slowed as they face difficulties with heavily mined areas. Ukrainian tactics have adapted to a slower advance behind foot based sappers. At the same time targeting of ammunition dumps has increased - several in Crimea were targeted with drones last night. There was also a drone attack on the headquarters of the GRU (Russian military intelligence) in Moscow, although Ukraine have denied doing it. Russia has also allegedly boarded a ship in the Black Sea carrying Ukrainian grain and have claimed they found traces of explosives. The response of Turkey is the one to watch here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Herc said: Get that guy on the next AUOB march. Quite a few of the people involved in that organisation and that general part of Scottish have pretty strong pro-Russian views. For example, Tommy Sheridan was employed by Sputnik I think right up until it was shut down. There's a blogger who is pretty prominent as well, I think his name is Jeggit or something like that, who last time I could bring myself to look was posting "Bucha never happened, look at the Facebook posts" galaxy brain content, Sheridan amplified this. Of course, Salmond himself was quoted as saying that he admired "aspects of Putins politics" and that Putin had "restored substantial Russian pride". In his defence, Putin had only invaded Georgia and destroyed Chechnya at that point and it was prior to the invasion of Ukraine. Considering Salmond hoofed his way right into a job with Russia Today after Russia invaded Ukraine, after they shot down civilian airliners killing British citizens and he only "temporarily suspended" the show after Russia invaded Ukraine maybe his views wouldn't have changed.
