I saw yesterday the report that per negotiations Russians were going to give civilians free passage out of population centers.  Has any progress been made on that front?  Don't think I've seen anything other than that statement.  It actually made sense to be for both sides.  Obviously Ukraine gets civilians evacuated.  Russia gets time to try to help un-fuck their logistics + presumably would take a more aggressive approach to shelling city centers. 

From what I read they only "agreed for the need of humanitarian corridors and aid" not that any actual details were hammered out.

All kidding aside, good friend from HS joined the 24th mech after college and was an Abrams driver.  On dry ground, they perform fairly well.  When it's icy/muddy/slippery, they slide all over the GD place.  They are so heavy when they get going in one direction, making a sudden turn on muddy terrain.....sit back and enjoy the show, as you're going for a ride.  Said they'd slam into and take out small trees all the time.  Almost like driving a boat.  

When my son finished AIT at Fort Lee, he said "dad, you know how you get annoyed by 19-year-old drivers? Now imagine them in a tank."

The joke in DC is when the sirens go off, I’m running straight towards the White House.  I have no interest in the post nuke world. My soft bougie ass wouldn’t make it 5 minutes.

I hadn't seen this posted yet. That's wild if true

Kremlin officials told the Russian outlet Agency they didn't know Putin was going to invade Ukraine.


Sources said the Kremlin prepared for smaller sanctions over its recognition of Luhansk and Donetsk.


"Everything is fucked," a source close to Putin's administration told Agency.

It's like he's trying to his best to have suicide by Bolshevik.

If he really goes through with martial law, it is likely he will never be seen out in public again. Hell he may not even leave his bunker

One thing I have learned is no one knows how a nuclear reactor works and how a nuclear weapon works.  We hear the word nuclear and we all lose our fucking minds

Ahhhh, nuka-lur!

Hey  Russian, now that your leader has invaded a neighbor, made insane speeches on TV, and announced that saying anything out of line about his war will get you put in prison— please tell me, a reporter, what you think on camera. 

Just going to post the same thing. They aren't going to say shit on camera.

I can't keep up with this thread and keep my job, so I can't look back to see if someone already posited this, but I've been trying to think why would Putin attack a nuclear power plant.  How can it either help his cause or hurt the Ukraine's?  I am starting to think it's just a terror tactic.  Get the word "nuclear" into the reporting about the conflict, which inspires a level of angst in all of us children of the Cold War.  It inspires fear and dread without actually introducing nuclear arms into the conflict.  That fear of nukes is about all Putin has to keep the rest of the world in check, so keeping it at the forefront of everyone's thinking is probably to his advantage.  I could obviously be wrong, but if that's what this is, I wonder if it is a tell that Putin really does not want this to escalate further.

Scare Europe off nuclear as an alternative to Russian gas.  See the Economic thread I posted in DT.

I think this is probably right - certainly among the people who were running away screaming "I'M FOR PUTIN!" with their ears plugged.  There are a few folks that seemed to buy the party line, though - and those are the fuckers that I'll think of every time I start to have some sympathy when I see the utter destruction of the Russian economy.

Breaking the other thread out into it's own thread, because it was interesting to see the everyday Russian perspective. The propaganda runs deep:

 

I only watched several people get interviewed and the ones I saw acted like neighbors getting interviewed by the police in a bad neighborhood. "I didn't see anything and I don't know anything."

And to think Pornhub was one of the leaders in addition to they are be publicly recognized. SciFi writers have been predicting this level of corporate warfare for decades. Yes, I know corporate warfare isn't new but this is beyond natural resources.
