Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[janey]

I'd be surprised if more than half knew the meaning of the term "moral", to be honest.

Sadly so

This thread has been quite valuable in keeping up with events. I’m happy to ignore the peripheral stuff.

Ignoring requires making a public announcement about what you're doing and asking other people to change their behaviour obvs

I thought you were an advocate for free speech

I am. I’m free not to listen to it. I actually agree with the poster that we are acting shabbily but think that discussion is for another thread. This thread is keeping me up with events better than any other resource so I’ll stop posting about me sticking someone on ignore. If that’s okay.

For perspective

That’s a bit misleading. A lot of experts are saying Ukraine is doing an amazing job. But part of their tactics have been to cede territory and hit the supply chains and logistics behind to try and make the Russians grind to a halt and also dragging Russia into cities where they stand a better chance.

I’m not sure pure amount of territory won is a god barometer (Going I what a lot of military experts are saying). It’s more inflicting losses, keeping key corridors open and not being encircled all of which Ukraine has so far managed to do.

I’m not surprised but this 32% opposing it is so disheartening

I can't imagine how that 32% compares to other political demographics. I wonder if there's any correlation with those who vote in certain ways.

I’m amazed the 50% is as high as it is personally

Women making molotovs. Adding polystyrene.

Clever and nasty at the same time. Yem made napalm.

Aye I suppose that’s another way of looking at it

Completely misleading. It’s obvious the Ukrainians are allowing the Russian front line through and then going for the supply lines and logistics following behind, therefore marooning the Russian front line. This strategy is working quite effectively and clearly not expected by the invader

what would the poly do??

Higher than it would be if we were talking about people with browner faces that's for sure

I have been watching the ladies making them, I presumed the polystyrene was so that the ignition took well ? Could you enlighten me as to what it's for please?

 

[ravydavygravy]

what would the poly do??

Melt russians. Harsh but necessary

Is it not to make the fuel 'stick'?

Very true...Russia of all countries should know that...Napoleon and Hitler discovered what problems extended supply lines could bring

Blimey

Sticks to target

That's got to sting

 

[ravydavygravy]

Might smart somewhat

 

[safcforver]

Surely the polystyrene would melt instantly

I get that this is a deeply partisan issue, but it’s not a good look to glorify such vicious ways to kill.
