This is now the active "shit (might be) is definitely happening in Ukraine" thread.

What does CNN have to worry about?

This is the only CBC I trust:

Hear me out.

Zilenskyy is jewish, yes?

As are many Ukrainians (Jew and Eastern orthodox)

If Zilenskyy is Jewish, and they've thwarted 3 attempts on his life, one by Chechyan hit squads, (with apparent russian insider help) What are the chances Mossad is involved in helping protect him? Would a Jewish leader of Ukraine not be better for Israeli relations than a Putin puppet?

I get UI may be game theory-ing here, but if MI6 and CIA aren't on the ground I'd be shocked. Mossad is just is likely.

Don’t interrupt your enemy while they are fucking up.

This is old soviet doctrine, losses don't matter

ATGM hit/kill ratio?  

He’s not wrong.

If you're going to suggest I'm pro Putin because I point out Zelenksy is stage managed, I'm going to safely assume you're a bit slow.

Look at the Russian results so far

Looks like a bad publicity stunt to me based on the title so I'm not going to waste my time or energy reading something that I'm suspect about.  I just don't get people asking for money to do something that they're convicted on doing.  I can see asking for money for supplies but not personal expenses.  But I also have been "giving until it hurts" to the point of crying and never asked for anything for myself and I won't accept anything (which is extremely difficult for Ukrainians to understand).  I did have friends give money to my refugees since they have nothing and I am very grateful for that.  I never asked them for help but they insisted because they knew these people are in desperate need.  I guess I could post a picture of their living conditions but I think that would be pandering.

But I guess I'm shallow to some folks.  I got pissed at another American that demanded that I provide $20 to some girl transporting orphans to the border.  Maybe I was out of line but I was on the road with a clown car full of exhausted kids with this guy constantly telling me to abandon them at either an airport or train station.

I haven't slept much this past week and have become drained while spending half my time telling family why I'm not abandoning UA and the other half trying to do the best I can for those with nothing.  You guys need to realize these million plus refugees in Europe aren't the only crisis.  Those left behind are barely getting by after this Covid nonsense and I just don't know how they're going to survive another economic crisis.  Just too many windmills that folks are telling me not to charge.

So, I'm tired of foreigners using us for sensationalism.  I've refused multiple interviews and watched the TV crews swarm over tired people, having no place to go, while aid workers getting their photo ops, looking all good for the cameras.  That just turns me off.  Sorry.

It's after 1am here and I have to sign off soon so can't keep up with this never ending thread.  The last time I tried, it took me 2 days.  Now I'm just too busy with immediate issues affecting Ukrainians to watch the news.  This has been an informative thread but it's just become overwhelming for me to follow and answer properly.

Just be careful of scammers because many of you have a big heart and want to help.  I want to try to make this happen but competing with other "fundraisers" gives me a bad taste in my mouth.

There's no good reason to choose to allow it.

They're incapable, most likely due to maintenance or, like everything else they've fielded in this war, the jets don't live up to the myth.

Probably true. I can imagine every major power has spooks running around Ukraine gathering intel and running operations such as the above.

Putin is old soviet.  Just like biden is old... well, old.

If Mossad were helping, it would be to weaken a major ally of Iran, not because Zele is Jewish. From that perspective, it would make a lot of sense that they want Russia to loose.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mossad taught/is teaching tactics. They've faced the same type of attack three times and decimated their enemy each time. Then again, the Israelis would have attacked well before 200k troops were amassed on their border.

First few days it was 1990s stuff, the better armor came into action after March 1st.  

Looks like a nice loadout of supplies. Maybe they are just waiting for the right moment to capture it

In WWI everyone carried their spoon in a boot

the zap brannigan method.

I doubt either side is going to launch a lot of aircraft without a comprehensive SEAD campaign.

The Israelis are FAR better armed too.

And likely have nukes.

If Mossad IS helping protect him, I doubt anyone can get to him no matter what they send, unless they end up plating a cruise missile on his head

I thought they were bloody lucky to get out alive. When the sparks and glass started flying about I thought it was time to do a Yeager.

Was that really a 'Russian hit squad' or just a nervous squaddie at a VCP? It sounded like one shooter but who knows. A lot happens at checkpoints in War, around Baghdad they were extremely risky.

Someone at the meeting suggested that the Russians be able to hear the truth and they did some brainstorming on how they could contribute?

Glad you are safe so far TBoy!

So they are going back after the truckers being Nazis huh

Instead of reporting the truth of Russian war crimes

When you tell Russian POW's that you eat Russian guts for lunch with a spoon, it's scarier if you actually have a spoon.

It’s Europe’s fault.  Does that not make it their problem?  Funding your enemy while neglecting your own military is a colossal mistake. Especially when that enemy has stated repeatedly for decades his intent.  Can’t see how we should pay for that.

Boo Hoo
