2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
- Thread starter bhamv3
- Start date
It's like the entire Russian army is being maintained by MacGyver.
Finland is asking people to report any drone activity that might be deemed suspicious.
Thanks Iran and apparently Sweden's traffic cameras.
edit - I didn't notice the translate tweet doesn't show on the embed, so here's the Twitter translate.
"Citizens are asked to report to the emergency center (112) acute drone sightings that are made in the vicinity of critical infrastructure, in no-fly zones or in otherwise suspicious conditions, or where flight activity otherwise raises suspicions. "

I thought he just had a very active cat.
Sorry, I don't really understand what I'm looking at.

HIMARS is a US-developed rocket-based mobile artillery platform. Many have been provided to Ukraine to fight off the Russians. This is what it looks like firing at night.
I bet it will still kill...
What happened to all the RPKs?

The Russians don't need weapons. They barely need soldiers.
Republicans take Congress, US aid gets slashed or dependent on "negotiations for a cease fire", European politicians feel more and more pushback because of high fuel prices in winter and the population doesn't care enough about foreigners; Ukraine loses western support. The Ukrainian population faces a hard winter with no electricity, no water, no heating. African countries never really cared to begin with - why would they, we don't care who's fighting who in Chaad or Ethiopia either - and just want the grain shipments to restart.
No money, no arms deliveries, no public support, and Ukrainian forces slowly fall apart except for some guerilla resistance.
War is mostly over by March.

I think that’s really their last play. Wait it out until people either lose interest or decide it’s no longer worth trying to support Ukraine.
"wait it out" combined with "use troll farms and propaganda to influence public opinion abroad", of course.
I'm curious if we'll ever know just how much of *points to everything since at least 2016* this has been the work of Russian and other foreign agents.
Probably not, since it doesn’t directly affect “us”. It’s the Ukrainians suffering, so we don’t have to see it directly.
Ukrainian forces swept into the key city of Kherson on Friday as Russian troops retreated to the east, delivering a major victory to Kyiv and marking one of the biggest setbacks for President Vladimir Putin since his invasion began.
Elated civilians who had survived months of Russian occupation descended on Kherson’s central square, hugging newly arrived Ukrainian soldiers, snapping selfies with them, and waving Ukrainian flags. (CNN)

Comedians don't fuck around. They make jokes, but their truth hits harder.
Correction: Russia-Ukraine-War story
In earlier versions of a story published November 15, 2022, The Associated Press reported erroneously, based on information from a senior American intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity, that Russian missiles had crossed into Poland and killed two people.
