Vitalis posted this 4 days ago and after a days googling it is technically possible to go on a holiday there right now. The wife disagrees with my interpretation of technicallyAnd me!!
Straight from the how they bombed the Syrian opposition to hell and back playbook
Give Ukraine whatever it needs to win this war. I really hope this has given the NATO leaders something to think about at the summit, this has gone on too long and has gone far enough.
And the promise made that for every non military infrastructure targeted in Ukraine by Russia, weapons will be supplied for Ukraine to target double the amount of legal targets anywhere within Russia.UKR should be given free reign to use every weapon they are supplied with wherever they want.
Absolutely 100 per centUKR should be given free reign to use every weapon they are supplied with wherever they want.
Blow that ucking bridge up, and sort the uckers out.
I’m not sure there’s much point other than it being symbolic.Blow that ucking bridge up, and sort the uckers out.
The hospital is shocking.They're still split on that one. Lots of pressure to leave it standing, as blowing it wouldn't have a huge impact militarily. Sneaky has instead given Budanov some targets to go at on the "railway". One has already been damaged.
He's quiet today. The childrens hospital attack has upset him deeply.
.... but Putin needs to realise the world is against him,
But it isn't ... an article this week from the Finnish President ...
We are witnessing a realignment of the balance between three spheres of power: the Global West, the Global East and the Global South.
The Global West encompasses roughly 50 states, mostly in North America and Europe, plus Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
The Global East is composed of 25 countries, led by China. The followers include Russia, Iran and a cluster of countries that tend to vote with them in the un. This group has a strong authoritarian streak and would like to see the West’s wings clipped.
The Global South, a group of roughly 125 countries, is naturally a simplification because of its diversity. It includes democracies and more authoritarian states from three different continents. Countries such as India, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, South Africa and Brazil have established themselves as swing states in a shifting balance of power.
So, then we get this, this week ...

..... I spend a lot of my year in Brasil, India and Turkey .... these countries are by no means uniformly against Putin and Russia in Ukraine....
I know it is difficult for the West to accept but, for other reasons, different parts of the world have a different view.
The west are fully in the picture. And countries pursuing their own self-interest, whatever that may be, is no surprise. China and India have their own desires and agendas. Both are milking the situation.... but not necessarily for Russia's benefit.
In addition to the Double Tap. DespicableNo, it was KH-101 missiles, caught on camera, and debris was found.
And Russia double-tapped the targets to make certain to hit people fleeing and first responders coming to the scene.
They always do that when attacking
I would never trust India, they will side with whoever offers them the best deal.But it isn't ... an article this week from the Finnish President ...

I rather hoped someone pointed out that "no, our grandparents came to Brazil and practised their European bred skills at genocide and appropriation upon the native population that we still oppress" but I suspect that they didn't.Isn't this why our grandparents came to Brasil?"
I understand that the occupiers move air defence there because of the propaganda nature of it and then Ukr blow them up. This is draining the russ reserves of AD units which they’re dragging from other parts of Russia, while they still can, this fits perfectly with the Ukr tactic of gradually bleeding Russia of their resources, so I’m inclined to believe it.Blow that ucking bridge up, and sort the uckers out.
