LT Gen Wainwright barely survived the captivity himself, when he was repatriated his uniform literally hung on his body

MacArthur should have fucking ignored the order, allowed his family to escape, and been captured.  it would have been a huge coup for Japan, but a commander doesnt leave his men behind to escape capture.

 

Take what the Russians say with a giant mountain of salt. They claimed 1000 people surrendered when it was really around 260. For all we know they could be saying that so they can have deniability on executing them.

The AZOV Troop unit cleared the occupiers' positions and destroyed the enemy's BMP.

In the temporarily occupied Melitopol, guerrillas blew up an armored train of the Russian occupiers.

The Dutch armored personnel carriers YPR-765 are already actively operating units of the Armed Forces.

[MillerEP 30339]

The occupiers in Melitopol are destroying books on the history of Ukraine.

 Russians confiscate history textbooks from libraries. They were declared banned literature, because these books, according to the occupiers, "promote the ideas of nationalism," - said in a statement the Defense Forces of Zaporozhye region.

Avdiivka, Donetsk region. It used to be a school № 1. But the Russian occupiers decided to destroy it using incendiary shells.

25th Separate Sicheslav Airborne Brigade decided to nightmare the occupiers 🔥

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.

They'll half-ass the destruction project, like they've half-assed everything else.  Won't cost them much.

My first thought was a spoiled brat move as well - try and deny Ukraine any kind of "monument" after the war.

But it could very well be a part of their economic warfare - they are trying to destroy anything in Ukraine that involves manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, etc. since they've decided that if they can't have Ukraine, Ukraine shouldn't have an economy.  If Chornobyl/Chernobyl/whatever had been a fossil-fuel or renewable energy plant, they probably would have tried to destroy it on the way out.

Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H2S. It is a colorless gas, and is poisonous, corrosive, and flammable, with trace amounts in ambient atmosphere having a characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs.

That green slime may be some other toxic soup, but it is not Hydrogen Sulfide.

Wouldn’t you want to say the opposite ?  If you’re going to kill 740 and survive 260, wouldn’t you Say 260 surrendered and here they are   , paying no mind to the 760 they murdered.

Yeah, at first blush, it’s not a morale booster for the troops that leadership might have slipped out. But, if the troops know any leadership elements are going straight to a GRU torture chamber for information extraction followed potentially by summary execution, I’d want my leadership gone before the GRU gets something out of them that’s gets a bunch of my brothers KIA.

I was at work Monday morning and two guys and a girl that looked like she was maybe 14 came in. They ordered quite a bit of food and the girl just had a blank look on her face. At the end of their meal I asked where they were from. They were from Ukraine. The two guys live down in different parts in Brooklyn.

The reason the teenage girl was so quiet is that she had arrived from Mariupol less than 24 hours earlier. Loud noises scare her easily because of the PTSD from the repeated bombing of Mariupol. I could feel her sadness. I honestly wanted to cry because I cannot fathom what all she has seen the last three months and the years of work it will take in therapy to help her. I gave her some rugelach and gave her a fist bump to show that she is now among people who care for her well-being. She finally smiled when I did that. I wanted her to also know she is safe here. The guys said how thankful they are that America and other countries are helping their homeland. I told them how brave their fellow Ukrainians are for standing up to Russia. One of them plainly said “We have no choice if we want to survive as a country.” I told them that I am willing to help in any way I can even if it is just giving new arrivals someone to talk to as they settle into their new home. We have been given so much as a country and people. I feel that volunteering in some way is the least we can all do if it is possible to do so.
 

If you ever question why we should be committed to helping Ukraine I would point towards that young girl as a reason why. Her and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have seen horrors we will never have to witness. Do what you can wherever you are to help these folks out.

I think these photos are from 2020, but it's still very interesting that Belarus never got into the fight, at least not on the side of the Russians.  Lots of Belorussians claim that if Russia is thoroughly defeated in Ukraine, it maybe time for them to go full-on protest, as Russia may not be able to help Belarus out much.  Flip side, if (when) Russia is defeated in Ukraine, they may lose their shit at the thought of losing Belarus and have a special military operation there, and it'd be a lot easier with a friendly leader.

Russian mind is capable of fine distinctions that escape Yankee Imperialist brain, which is simple, like egg.

"Russian distinguishes between миномёт (minomjót, “lightweight, often portable artillery piece which transmits recoil to a base plate”) and морти́ра (mortíra, “heavy, large-bore cannon”); in English, both types of weapons are referred to as mortars."

What gets me is where they call woodlines "shrubbery."

This is actually a good sign, good in the sense that Putin still feels threatened by any objectivity. If Putin was orchestrating a shift in his PR machine to explain that the special operation is tougher than expected then that would give him a couple of avenues forward. If he only holds onto minimal objectives (annex donbas, inflict economic pain) then tampering down expectations will make that minor "win" more palatable to the populace. Or if he insists on holding out for bigger gains, then that is only possible through a full mobilization which again is only possible if their general populace feels threatened by Ukraine.

Instead they are still playing up super high expectations. All for a war with vague strategic goals. Plus having one of his PR staff go off-script in the first place means there is a lack of oversight with the message. As this war stretches on without major successes then there is going to be more and more opportunities for that war message to drift off point. Or eventually tuned out or recognized as the bullshit that it is.
