Fascinating watching flight radar , quite abit of activity near the ukraine and Belarusian boarder with nato, polish, us and uk planes buzzing around quite near the boarder

I wonder if Putin really wants the nato supplied planes to get involved so to fuel his justifications ….?
 
Is anyone else noticing during this conflict we don’t seem to be playino loads of footage of on the ground warfare like we previously have. I’d like to think things are now being properly checked for authentication. Seems the bbc make sure we know it has been checked before the run footage. Great news if I’m right.

Same with the Chinese, they may not be directly involved but everybody stands to lose so they need to speak up

South America are already in the game, bolsonaro is backing Putin.
 
A Russian government official has launched a terse warning over sanctions against his country over its invasion of Ukraine.

Dmitry Medvedev, a deputy head of Russia's Security Council, was retorting to a comment by French finance minister Bruno Le Maire on Tuesday that the European Union was going to unleash an all-out economic and financial war against Russia.

He tweeted: "Today, some French minister has said that they declared an economic war on Russia.

"Watch your tongue, gentlemen! And don't forget that in human history, economic wars quite often turned into real ones."

Mr Medvedev served as placeholder president from 2008 to 2012 when Vladimir Putin had to shift into the prime minister's post because of term limits.

Honestly who the fuck do these lot think they are. What a bunch of mental megalomaniacs.
 
Lots of photos of very expensive Russian equipment being abandoned in Ukraine. The tank is apparently the Russians best and 4-5 million dollars a unit. Some expert was saying that if a tank is out of fuel it’s useless and a sitting duck so the last place you want to be. Possible they have just fled to avoid being with it and targeted.

Hopefully the Ukrainians start putting their Molotovs to good use and destroying them. If they can’t operate them there is no point leaving them entact for the Russians to potentially recover later.

Early days there was a lot of footage on Twitter etc. that either took hours to hit the news channels or just didn't. It is important that everything is checked, there's a few videos done the rounds before being flagged as fake, or from years ago, or from somewhere else. You don't want that kind of stuff going out, there's already a lack of trust as it is.

5m roubles must be about 3 pence now, nevermind the soldiers don’t need to know that until they return
