Honestly I think even with a Russian majority, Crimea should be given back to Ukraine. There is legit ways to look for independence that don't involve war, and we are not in the 1900s anymore. Plus Crimea can't really function without the landbridge territories from Ukraine, and would have no water supply as well... It's just a meaningless piece of land, not militarily speaking, in the hands of Russia as it is.
I hope you're right. Best case scenario is that Putin gets "retired".
War Is awful. It always hits civilians first. Putin will be eating just fine as the ruble falls. Fucking asshole.
A meaningless piece of land is what the entirety of Russia is going to be starting tomorrow when the market open back up.
It really doesn't matter how much the ATM holds more about how much the particular bank will let you take out in an ATM transaction. I don't think any bank will allow you to empty out your account in that kind of transaction.
Granted I'm in the US the bank I work for we have a daily limit of 500.00 a day withdrawal from an ATM. You want any more than that then you come to the branch to get it.
I used to bank with Wells Fargo those ATMs would only allow me to get maybe 300 out. I think their system was set up on how much your average monthly deposits were. Card wise I had a 600 limit on debit credit transactions compared to my new bank it's 3500 for everyone.
That's from 2014. These pop up twitter accounts will post anything for clicks and follows.
What can you do against drones? It's basically a god tier weapon.
As far as I know this is already confirmed to be from another conflict not related to the current "special operations" ongoing in Ukraine.

It was on NRKs live coverage, during a segment on breweries starting industrial production of Molotovs.
It's really not. You shoot them down just like any other aircraft, which is easier since they're generally much slower, but since the Russians don't have air superiority…
I think most of it is also linked with their space programs, right? That would make more sense as to why they were accepted by the public even after the cold war.
I have to say seeing these rapists and torturers falter against an actually well prepared army, after terrorizing their local populace for years, is certainly satisfying.
I'm getting the impression a lot of those "special forces" are just special in comparison to the severely underequipped and badly organized quasi-civilian targets they are usually deployed against to kill any resistance to a local warlord...
There are other ways to try to gain independence but it's incredibly unlikely.
People like to talk about sovereignty when it comes to majority white countries but if American colonies like Puerto Rico or Guam wanted to be independent, this would never be allowed to happen. This goes double for states like Hawaii that have Native Sovereignty movements.
Why embarrass yourself on the world stage and make yourself look weak. Whilst also turning the country you're attacking into heroes and a show of strength and resilience. Oops!
OK for the first time in days that actually made me properly laugh. Thanks :)
I mean Putin doesn't need this pause to do that, Ukraine is clearly playing defense and is not going to actively go after the Russian troops if they're not advancing past ground they already hold. Putin could sit there for a few days and resupply everything without the need for a peace talks distraction. They're talking because Russia is about to implode financially if something doesn't change and they clearly can't win this militarily without losing many more men/resources
With a poorly organized offensive with bad intel? Good luck.
you man is totally selling a "Molotov" beer when this is all done.
You can jam the command signel,. Drones are good but are not that diffcult to take out if you have access to jammers.
Absolutely crazy to see posts about places I've been to. Pravda in Lviv is fantastic and no surprise that they're helping efforts here considering the artwork they often throw on their beverages.
So I hope alot of these reports of the ukraine regarding russian losses and demoralized troops are true but I think there is a good number of false reports for moralization of their own (ukrainian) troops.
so I dont see that its wrong but I think we should keep in mind that all those numbers arent accurate.

In hindsight this isn't that surprising I guess. Its easy to look big and scary when you're torturing and murdering innocent civilians day in day out. Not that surprising they've shit themselves and run away at the first sign of someone with some actual fight.
Well sure, even for historical situations like Scotland, it is really fucking hard. But not impossible if the majority from the population really wants it, and pushes it for long enough. And well I'm talking about democracies* here, and even that comes with a big *.
Even if he doesn't survive (god forbid, and I hope he and his family do), he should be the face of it.
That's because they're very vulnerable. Nobody expected them to be allowed to strike convoys for 4 days uncontested.
Obviously. We're mostly getting the positive news from Ukraine, as Russia seems to be dead silent at the moment (which makes sense, with their stated goals). But overall it's fair to say this isn't going as planned for the Russians.
best bet would probably be latvia/estonia/finland
they're all close-ish to the big population centers
Ehhhh I dont know if European nations would be so keen on having an influx of Russians right now unfortunately. Specially with tensions so high.
Individual stories may or may not be true.
What is true is Russia still can't hold any city.
So the general reports are obviously true.
Yeah I'm taking Ukrainian reports of casualties with a pinch of salt. But their losses do seem to be large as there seems to be a fair amount of corroboration with respect to Russian morale. Combined with the fact that not a single city has fallen yet.
So I've been ducking in and out of this thread and skimming the news over the past couple of days, but how is Ukraine doing? What's the most likely outcome here?
