Donate by all means, but to have a message put on something used to take life when you aren't directly involved is scummy. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted October 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2022 How long before the highest bidder can sponsor a drone and pull the trigger against a selected target? This war has worrying aspects to it, it's all fun and games until its you or your family getting killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I saw earlier they think possibly a boat beneath the bridge to Crimea blew it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 In other news, he can’t seriously expect to be taken seriously can he? Quote Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of attacking the bridge to Russian-annexed Crimea, saying that it was an "act of terrorism". President Putin said Ukraine's intelligence forces had aimed to destroy a critically important piece of Russia's civil infrastructure. bbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Here is a little eye opener. I saw this several days ago when released and decided not to post it however, after some thought I think it's worth showing this video. In the midst of war and all the nonsense that goes on there can still exist empathy for your foes. The breakdown of this video is an ensuing engagement whereby a Russian tank has ended up in the side of a building. One of the occupants of the tank is already dead although there is no graphic detail. However, one of the Russian's is still alive, badly wounded as he's had a wall collapsed on his leg. As, the Ukrainian soldier, who could quite easily have decided to shoot this guy decided to try and save him instead. All whilst bullets were flying and more astonishingly, the Russian soldier was asking to be finished off.... It's a short clip of 2 min but it goes to show that even in the midst of the most extreme conditions good still exists, even if you're a little pissed off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) What Putin doesn't seem to realise is that every missile attack fired on a civilian target will harden Ukrainian resolve. Instead of deploying the few missiles he has left on actual military targets he keeps wasting them on committing war crimes. Here's a great video showing how Ukraine beat Russia in the first few days of the invasion. Hostomel changed hands several times and Russia had many of its best units completely cease to exist as a fighting force. The Pentagon now thinks that Ukraine is the best fighting force in Europe and likely the second best in the world. Given NATO equipment to a larger degree they're probably even better than China. It'd be madness not to let them into EU and NATO. Edited October 10, 2022 by magnkarl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hypothetically, how many nukes do you think you’d have to fire at Moscow for one of them to get through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Lviv in western Ukraine has also been targeted with missiles. It looks like the war just changed gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the war just changed gear. Not really, it's just retaliation. They can't keep it up because they don't have the missiles. These kind of attacks happened at the start of the war.
