  1. Not while they are still trying to take the Donbas pocket. But, I think that will just hasten the end of the war. The Rascists should have been on the defensive long ago to preserve combat force. Re: Russian citizens being moved into Ukraine, what are the odds the Russian military bombs, tortures, rapes and/or executes some of them?
  2. Never root for OU ever this is the cardinal rule
  3. Ma must be off her meds again IB4C!
  4. Isn't that a hognose?
  5. Some hot takes here. The Russians won't execute the Ukrainian pows because then Ukraine would just do the same to Russian pows. I think they are threatening to execute the foreign fighters to dissuade others from helping Ukraine, but won't go through with it.
  6. Starting pitchers only get a win if they go 5 innings, have the lead when they come out, and the team does not lose the lead
  7. Not sure I agree with your math there Bill
  8. My read is that rather than a true "counter attack," it is more of a withdrawal by whats left of the Russian forces after being mostly decimated
  9. It usually happens mid June so I imagine this weekend is early.
  10. Haven't seen this posted yet. Another shakedown? Anybody heard their reasoning? https://twitter.com/KyivIndependent/status/1527034026460061696?s=20&t=113IKSfDQs84fd58VJILqA Edit: apparently they want changes in election law in Bosnia to favor Bosnian Croats, but apparently this is unlikely to hinder Finland/Sweden joining
  11. Yes, rate snake. Good snek. Here's the master thread:
  12. If the number that came out of Azovstal is a big (i.e. 1,000 or so) it has to include not only lots of seriously wounded, but non combat personnel, civilians, etc. No way 1,000 troops would surrender. I'm a bit puzzled because I would think Russia would claim a lower number, so that they would never have to account for them, or it be discovered for instance on a prisoner exchange.

  14. Russian quality of life and expectations are so low, I see it as a huge opportunity. Prostrate the country before the world to eventually lift sanctions, then pump O&G money into the country instead of the military and kleptocracy. Seems like low hanging fruit to me.
  15. I’ve been hoping so too. Not only to relieve Mariupol but also to cut off resupply from crimea. A pincer to go with the Kharkiv offensive
  16. They’re not going to push all the way to transnistria, Odesa, or even advance past Kherson either
  17. I think its worth noting that players don't have to "transfer out" since in the days of NIL players can be on "scholarship" without using an official 'ship
  18. forwards or backwards
  19. Justifies sending in "peacekeeping" troops to protect civilians imo
  20. I'm of the opinion that Russia might get to keep Crimea but nothing else. All Ukraine forces need to do is prevent Russia from taking and holding cities. They've mostly done that already. I don't believe Russia has the capability/resources to mount a second offensive anytime soon. If Russia simply digs into defensive positions in the countryside they are fucked. Ukraine won't need to eliminate all those forces, they can just starve them.
  21. I would argue Ukrainian forces should re-deploy south first, to relieve Mariupol, hopefully cut off supply lines coming through Crimea, and avoid being surrounded by russian forces in the east. But I don't know shit
