I forget the name of it but I think was Rickman last movie It’s Eye In The Sky. Good Kill is another decent film about military drone operators and the psychological effect it has on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if we're talking about a situation where you come up on a guy and he's acting suspicious, and he might be armed, and you decide to shoot him as a combatant, well I guess there's a debate. This ain't that: Shelling residential areas is just a war crime, it's not anywhere near a blurry line. Those are cluster munitions as well.

Just in time for Belarus to join the war it seems: I mean obviously they were already to some extent party to the war, but that's an incoming invasion, not just letting Russia use their roads and airspace.

From the ‘inaccuracy’ of these missile strikes, it appears he’s brought Kepa along with him to help with the ballistics. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he starts plastering cities with rocket artillery western public opinion will get fired up very fast. It looks likely that Belarusian forces are going to be introduced and I’d guess they’ll be in the west of Ukraine to try and cut the supply lines bringing munitions etc from Europe. If they do there’s going to be some interesting chats in NATO about destroying those formations and pretending it was the Ukrainians. If Russia's "power" is anything to go by, the Ukranians will likely a) convert the Belarussians to their side or b) cling film them to all the lamp posts from Lviv to Minsk.

avfc1982am Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 If Belarus step in this is going to escalate very quickly. Ex UK and US SF are volunteering in numbers apparently. If this is really what's happening then things this will be the start of international military action. Governments always dress up ex military going into an operational theatre as just civvies when in fact they become the first visible foreign military boots on the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted February 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2022 Belarus must be crackers. Surely they can see what’s already happening to the Russians?

Every word of this ^^ Russian politician on R4 this morning straight out accused UK and US of having regular SF on the ground. Their Defence Minister asked Ben Wallace what they were doing in Ukraine during the face to face in Moscow - Wallace swerved it. If the UK had theoretically decided this was the right thing to do then it can cite the legal obligation undertaken in 1994 to guarantee Ukraine’s territorial integrity - even if the US declined to do so.
