Somebody sent me this link but don't remember it being posted. It's an interesting take on how/why the ridiculously long Russian convoy that was sitting still for several days happened.

I suppose it depends on how you define hypersonic. If it's just the delivery phase of flight then yes. |

My general impression, from admittedly limited research, is parts of the world were already heading toward famine. This war turned it up to 11. The US is somewhat positioned geographically to ride out a global famine, but the national/global political arena will likely be a disaster all around. I don't think the "possibility" of a famine will get the West to do much more wrt Ukraine since it will mostly effect Africa, China, and Russia (from what I understand.) I'm not sure how that might play out in the ME and with those oil sources. |

Unknown number of systems, but the article was simply elaborating in a clumsily worded manner that each 600 system has 10 drones. I think that 2 is fairly probable. |

Originally Posted By realwar: Zelensky compares Russia to ISIS for their 'war crimes' in Bucha and tells the UN that women were raped and killed in front of their families and had their tongues cut out Volodymyr Zelensky has compared Russia to ISIS for their 'war crimes' in Bucha during a fiery speech to the Security Council today as he slammed the UN body for failing to protect Ukraine. The president said atrocities have been carried out throughout the country, with women raped and killed in front of their families, and people captured and deported to Russia and turned into 'slaves' in his blistering address. He called out the Security Council for failing to provide any security, demanding Russia's expulsion from the global body and reform to ensure no further illegal invasions in the future. The Ukrainian president said: 'So where is the security that the Security Council needs to guarantee? It's not there. Although there is a Security Council and so where is the peace? 'It is obvious that the key institution of the world which must ensure the coercion of any aggressor to peace simply cannot work effectively.' He told of civilians being run over deliberately by tanks, people's tongues being cut out and gang rapes being committed by invading Kremlin forces in 'the most terrible war crimes' since WWII, as he shared a harrowing video of burnt corpses and bodies stuffed in wells to the council. People 'were killed in their apartments, houses... civilians were crushed by tanks while sitting in their cars in the middle of the road, just for their pleasure,' Zelensky told the Council, including Moscow's envoy. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/05/15/56251279-10688331-image-a-75_1649170442740.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/05/16/56253495-10688331-image-a-85_1649173988592.jpg The wartime leader said he feared Russians turning his people into 'silent slaves' as he said 'hundreds of thousands' of Ukrainians have been deported to Russia. He also urged reform of the UN because the current system of global security has failed, and called on world leaders to act 'immediately' against Russia. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/05/16/56253179-10688331-image-a-84_1649173451036.jpg Russia's envoy Vassily Nebenzia (pictured) predictably dismissed the claims as 'lies' as he repeated unfounded Kremlin claims about Nazis running Ukraine https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/05/15/56250575-10688331-image-a-58_1649169656821.jpg UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres (pictured) has said Russia's invasion of Ukraine is one of the greatest challenges ever to international order Vassily Nebenzia said Moscow places 'on your conscience the unfounded accusations against the Russian military, which are not confirmed by any eye witnesses.' He rejected allegations of war crimes, claiming there are 'flagrant inconsistencies in events shown by Ukrainian and Western media'. The diplomat repeated disproved claims that corpses found in Bucha were not there when Russia withdrew, saying: 'The corpses in no way resemble those that could be lying on the street for three or four days.' But satellite images shows corpses on the street nearly two weeks before the Russian departure. Meanwhile UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said Russia's invasion of Ukraine is one of the greatest challenges ever to international order. Speaking to the Security Council in New York, the UN chief said there is mounting evidence of war crimes, rapes and sexual assaults by Putin's forces. He said, referencing the piles of civilians bodies near the capital of Kyiv which emerged this weekend: 'I will never forget the horrifying images of the civilians in Bucha.' 'The war in Ukraine must stop - now,' Guterres told the Council, after calling it 'one of the greatest challenges ever to the international order.' 'We need serious negotiations for peace, based on the principles of the United Nations Charter,' he said. Guterres said the war was putting even more pressure on the developing world, with more than 1.2billion people particularly vulnerable to to spiking food, energy and fertilizer costs. 'We are already seeing some countries move from vulnerability into crisis, and signs of serious social unrest,' he added. More View Quote This is how Russia has always conducted war. They need to be dismantled immediately, everybody involved hanged until dead, and the land mass divided into smaller states derived from ethnic boundaries so that they no longer have the capability to project power beyond their own breakfast tables. |

That was a poll after Russia seized power. A poll was done before and it was 67% or so in favor of staying Ukrainian. Keep in mind they are expelling and eradicating the original people in Donbas from 2014. Correct. And many of the elections and polls were taken after millions fled eastern Ukraine in 2014. Russians, Ukrainian Communist Party members, and communists from at least six countries flocked to eastern/Russian border parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts at that time as well. |
