Yup.... And it leaves one to wonder, if Russia really DOES think they are going to win, then where exactly do they think they're going to get the money to rebuilt their newly acquired territory?? π€¨π
Which leaves me thinking only one thing now.... Deep down, Putin knows he has no chance, which is why they have changed up their scorched earth campaign slightly, by shelling everything and everything, with random trajectories and coordinates, using whatever ordinance they have left... (ie, using Air-to-Air missiles for Air-to-Ground targets)
REASON: Putin is throwing a tantrum. The classic "If you won't let me play in your sandbox, then I'll stomp on all you sandcastles! πΆ"
He's just doing it out of spite now, and doesn't care how many of his own people are lost...
Same with yesterday's """mysterious""" attack on the PoW camp that killed 200 or more Ukrainian prisoners! A complete middle-finger gesture, absolutely nothing more than that... π
NATO, seriously, it's time to send in troops and remove Russia from all sovereign Ukrainian territory. Enough with this bullshit the Russians are doing... Why must we stand by while obviously intentional acts like this are allowed to continue??? π£ππ€¬

The sheer stupidity and/or insanity of the commanding officers of the invaders and pro-Russian militias -- and arguably their soldiers who are likely just as absent minded given they're carrying out the commands -- must be something Russia rewards for....??
I know that the tragic history around Chernobyl (Chornobyl) was hidden from Russians, so they still (...somehow...) have no idea what bad bad things can result from destabilizing/compromising a nuclear reactor's cooling systems or containment chambers....
It's the fact that they weren't taught, even in the most rudimentary sense, that nuclear plants are very safe but still very delicate... just amazes me. AT LEAST it's something they could've (and should've) mentioned during basic training!! Keep it simple, just something brief, like:
Listen up. You will be deployed into an area which utilizes nuclear reactor's at the >insert name/s here< power plant(s).
_ ARE YOU PERMITTED TO _____ ?:_
- Calmly Seize Da!
- Throw rocks Nyet!
- Shoot-at Nyet!
- Grenade Nyet!
- Shell Nyet!
- Rocket NYET!
- Missile NYET!
- Bomb Ni v koyem sluchaye!!
[ In no circumstance, ever!! ]
... Granted, we've found out they're operating with very outdated maps -- because.... modern day cartography is hard?? ... naw, more likely, because some genius oligarch siphoned away the funds earmarked for that project!
But I digress, point being, perhaps the maps they have only indicate it as a traditional 'power facility', as it hadn't been converted to nuclear?
π€ Then again, such an endeavor, they probably would build from scratch as opposed to taking the already-much-needed generators offline in order to perform upgrades on a one by one basis.
So I dunno lol Maybe they DO know and indeed, Russia is conducting operations based off the "Modern Terrorists Playbook for Dummies!".........
Or, maybe they just think they're only shelling more farmland...? π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ
Stupidity? Corruption? Pure negligence?
ALL THREE match Russia's actions throughout this war, so take your pick.... You'll probably be right to some degree! π₯΄

Β @YoubetternowatchthisΒ Then I have great news for you... You don't need to use a gun to help make a huge difference! If you are able to CHANGE your fellow Russian's view, and get them to see what is REALLY happening in Ukraine... THAT is more powerful than a gun!
A better future for all of Russia, begins by helping others see through the false information that your government-operated news channels tell you all day long (it's basically brainwashing).
If you have friends that enjoy technology, but believe everything Russian news says, show them videos of SpaceX's Falcon9 rocket landing by itself! Then show them the Falcon Heavy video where both of its boosters land side-by-side. Showing them things that appeal to their interests but are things your news channels don't show or talk about. That will help convince them that what your news shows you is only what your government wants them to, which is only things that makes your country appear strong, which means NOT showing you a lot of what happens in the world...
It will be tough, but it's people like YOU who are the key to helping Russia. They won't listen to us westerners telling them these things, which is why coming from you is so important!
That's why you and people like you, are so important right now. π
Stay safe, stay strong, and change minds! β

"Russia wants to save as many lives as possible..."
-- Putin's Mouthpiece
No.... No no. I'm willing to bet my house that Russia, or more specifically Fuhrer-Tsar Voldemort Puddin, has absolutely ZERO interest in anyone's lives... ON EITHER SIDE! π
I concluded a few days back that this whole invasion, and I'd argue all of the conflicts Russia had been involved in since being under Puddin's reign (including his fraudulent reflection), come down to one sad thing...
He's BORED and has lived such an adrenaline fueled life, that riskier and riskier endeavors are needed to keep him entertained! ππ
So he definitely needs to be stopped, doesn't matter which country steps in to do it, it has to be done. It's for the sake of all humans safety, since there's no telling what sort of shit storm he will stir up next -- and it doesn't matter if he loses in Ukraine, as long as he's in power, this sort of inhumane atrocities are SURE to occur again, somewhere...

π€ππ€ Here's hoping that the great nations of the world come to their senses, realize that the Fuhrer-Tsar Voldemort Puddin is only waging this senseless war because he's BORED and not because he truly wants the land (we already know the "liberating" excuse was a complete lie), and collectively sends our troops to push Russia back across their pre-annexed borders!!
When countless civilian deaths are caused by a war that has at least SOME semblance of an "arguable purpose" -- by that I mean, while it might not be 'right | logical | morally sound' it can at least be recognized/accepted as the driving force behind one side's actions -- then those deaths are (albeit, unfortunately) considered collateral-damage as opposed to senseless killings.
HOWEVER, when civilians are killed due to a leader's junkie-like need for an adrenaline rush (a "fix")...... THAT IS DEFINED AS MURDER!
It's 2022 for fucks sake! (sorry, necessary word choice)
There's NO EXCUSE for your ordinance to drop on populated civilian areas/structures. Your arsenal should already be made up of 'Smart' weapons that can hit a target with an accuracy better than 15 meters, where I suspect even Soviet-era hardware would conceivably be able to hit within 150m...
Alas, we see them dropping ordinance with what seems like an accuracy that instead gets measured in CITY BLOCKS! Thus, my conclusion that the targets are either hit due to carelessness or are their intentional targets, which is my justification for claiming that Russia is both attempting to and succeeding in committing murder of Ukrainians, and it needs to be stopped, N O W ! ! ! π€¬π€¬π€¬

I continue to beat this dead horse, I know, but... Yea, Crimea belongs to Ukraine, so it should be rightfully returned to you. Russia has no right to claim it, as they had already agreed upon and formally recognized Ukraine's sovereign borders as per the Budapest Memorandum -- and to help protect their integrity, so that they remain unchanged, but clearly Russia is ignoring that part as well...
So in the end, whatever happens to Russia, there's no one to blame but their Fuhrer-Tsar Voldemort Puddin. His time in power looks to be coming to an end though, and it can't happen soon enough! π

I heard similar, from one of our other media outlets (would've been either CNN or MSNBC), but it was SO much more realistic... Indicating things like it's be the actual black market arms dealers who live in Ukraine, which legitimately could be native Ukrainians but just as easily could be superior of another nationality, and at no point was this other non-CBS implying or was the Ukrainian Government selling them!
There is also, what I can only imagine has occurred at least once or twice (statistically speaking), where Russia had managed to capture some unfired Javelins and then RUSSIA gave it to some arms dealers just to ensure a finger could get pointed at Ukraine for possibly negligence, or worse, outright corruption.
Personally, I choose to believe that any native Ukrainian arms dealers who are still in the country, that even despite their questionable morality, they would rather the county be under Ukrainian rule and therefore would actually be doing what they can to HELP!
Hell, let's go truly "glass half full", by speculating that these same individuals may even go so far as to buy any of these weapons FROM the black market, to them use against Russian forces... π€ππ€
(after all, the one report showed a dark web listing where a Javelin was only $13K USD, which as someone who doesn't have even close to that much money, I still think that's quite worth buying if it helps ensure the country remains free of Russian rule!)

Β @The_ZeroLineΒ This is all good info to have. (admittedly, all I was going off of was wiki; not an excuse, just an explanation for why I was coming to the wrong conclusion)
Makes it plausible now that he simply thrives on the authority he came to possess, and each time he exerts "another level" of his power (ie wars, having people killed), he feels a new rush.
So it's not that his worklife caused him to be that proposed junky and that he does all of this out of boredom... but that he has become a junky - thriving moreso on power, than on adrenaline.
At the end of the day, my point is intact: he's illustrated that he is a threat to our world society, a monster partially of our own creation, through letting his actions go unchecked for far too long. π
(as such, my puppy analogy would also remain valid)

I'll put money on it that Russia's unspoken strategy is:
Destroy everyone's homes by whatever means possible, help yourself to whatever's intact/of value, leaving their people with nothing. That way, when this is all over, they won't feel there's any reason to come back, and then Russians can live there.
In other words... Fight their people, not their military.
Which if that isn't already a war crime, it fricken ought to be!
However, they'll OBVIOUSLY claim that they were only targeting positions where they were """taking fire from""".
In reality, they probably saw lights or movement, opting for the strategy of "shoot first, ask questions later."
In the end, whatever the reason, true or not, they are still cruel and inhumane monsters! π‘

I'd like to say, that those of us who DO understand that this is Putin's war, do NOT hate the Russian people for his mess... no matter WHAT your governmentt-controlled news says! Even if you are believing everything your news says and are supporting your country... We understand, and forgive you!
Some of my fellow Americans (even my own family, my mother) were recently deceived in a similar way, convinced to follow a foolish man and believed the lies he told -- and still tells. BUT those that saw their error and stopped supporting him, we've forgave them for it!
MANY of your soldiers, but especially your government, has to be punished for the horrible things that they are doing in Ukraine and to her people. The method right now of punishing your government, unfortunately also is hurting innocent Russian people, and we're sorry for that... but I repeat: our hate, our fight, is only for those in charge of Russia, not with the Russian People!
And I know at least some of your fellow Russians in these comments do not believe what you're being told about this ""special military operation"" -- it is actually a 'war', but you are not allowed to say that word, and you should be suspicious of why your government doesn't allow you to say things or else you get arrested (that's something you can mention to anyone who believes in Putin's actions, and ask why that's acceptable) -- and so it's you who are the key to helping your country! Convince more that we (people of the West) do not hold a grudge against Russia's people. Find topics they are interested in, search YouTube for videos about those topics. Then find important differences between the information in those videos and compare it to what your news does not talk about, which you can then show to those people! Because if your state news is willing to leave out details on a topic like that, what else are they not telling you, or have been telling you instead?
(An example is SpaceX. They have reusable rockets [thr Falcon 9], that land themselves after launching, to be refueled and launched again... Similar to a car, in a sense. But Russian state news doesn't share that, instead tries to portray them as a failing company, showing just the failures during testing. The "Falcon Heavy" landing video is even more impressive, even for me and I have seen it multiple times!)
Once you get more people understanding how your news is misleading everyone, then any of them with family in the military, can begin convincing their soldiers of what's wrong.
Soldiers convince more soldiers... and soon you, the people of Russia, have power to remove Putin and his oligarchs from their positions of power!
Give Russia's power to who rightfully deserve it: her people! Show the world that you are NOT the cruel people that Putin has made you act like. That you are not WEAK when you're fighting for a cause you believe in, just as the Ukrainians are in their fight to keep their freedom!

Thankfully, the "Tactical Nukes" (very small yield) will not trigger the end of the world. It's the ICBMs like the video displays, that will, as they contain roughly 5 city-destroying nuclear bombs each, along with around a dozen dummy-bombs (which might be targeted instead of the actual bombs).
However, while I don't think the Tactical's use would trigger the apocalypse... I DO think it might trigger a conventional style WW III, which is just as bad, really. As then you would end up with a chance of ICBMs being launched. ππ
Because it's pretty clear that Putin's mind is currently living in an alternate reality, and being as degraded as it is, could very well result in that psychosis manifesting...
My hope is that either his own peoples manage to take him out soon and things won't be able to escalate further, or, if it did come to launching ICBMs, then perhaps there'd be internal resistance to such an order. (but who knows, given how many Russians appear to have drank the kool-aid π)

For me, my trouble is that their voice over speaker lacks and sense of "grammar" in what's being said. I don't have any trouble understanding the words because of their accents, it's purely the lack of pauses where we would otherwise include them.
Not sure if this is because the translation was done and they're just reading it aloud, so that this is caused by the English translation lacking punctuation where necessary...
Or if they're dubbing it in real time as they watch the video, and are not professional translators...
Based on watching videos like UN meetings where the translator is frequently a person of the same nationality, where I don't have the issue I have on UATV vids, I'm betting they're reading the translation.
Which, now that I think about it..... π€
I bet they are using software to translate, perhaps even YT auto translation, and are simply reading that as it comes up! As anyone who has used the auto translation/subtitles knows, there's zero punctuation.... That'd certainly explain the "spoken run-ons"!
But just as you said, basroos, I mean no offense to UATV by what I've said, as I also greatly appreciate the work they're doing and watch multiple videos from them each day (particularly since US news has had to shift focus to the absolute mess we've had these last 2 weeks, with the insane increase in mass shootings were having and trying to reform our gun laws).

Gosh, Russia... It's almost as though what you've said about southeastern Ukraine are NOT true, and that all of these regions DON'T want to be ruled by you... ππ€¨π€
M... maybe when they said...
"Russian warship, go fuck yourself!"
... what they were actually meaning by it, was:
"Fuck you Russia, go home!!"
Either way, that seems like a really good idea, huh?
Since, if you keep this campaign up, you'll be able to trade the shit that gets pushed into the back of your throat thanks to the missiles they ram up your backsides! ππ©π΅
If you end up LOSING a bunch of territory as a result, don't come crying to the rest of the world, because we're just going to let them keep it!

Here's a thought... We leave it [creation of a "tribunal"] up to the people! π
Which people?
I'd say the entire population of Earth, but that would be a difficult task, since most likely half the planet isn't aware of the war or know nothing other than there is one (either due to rural life and intl news doesn't reach them, or their local news not reporting on it for some reason, or similar).
Therefore, leave it to the people of the countries which are involved, determined by:
- countries who have troops fighting (Russia, Ukraine, Chechnya, ~Belarus, others?)
- countries who have sent financial aid (monetary or deducted through owed debts) to any of the participating countries listed in the first bulleted item (too many to list); likely this support is at taxpayer's expense
- countries who have sent military equipment (weapons, vehicles, medical supplies intended for troop use) to any of the participating countries listed in the first bulleted item (too many to list); likely this support is at taxpayer's expense
- countries who have sent humanitarian aid (monetary, food, or any other supplies intended for civilians) to any of the participating countries listed in the first bulleted item (too many to list); likely this support is at taxpayer's expense
- countries who have officially abstained from involvement, but have had any form of support provided by a company which is headquartered or has manufacturing facilities in said country (not certain if they've official abstained, but Turkey comes to mind; Byraktars); the citizens would be the ones employed at these places, so they should get a say regarding what their work is going towards (even if that work is making the company a profit, so that it is capable of sending financial support)
- etc, etc
We're all the ones who bare the load from this and feel the impact. Those in our governments do not (at least in the third-party participant countries), as they are connections and wealth. Food or supply shortage, fuel price increases, or gas supply issues resulting in concern about whether there will be heat during the winter, all have minimal impact on those in power, regardless of what country you're in!
Therefore, the decision for a tribunal ought to be left to those impacted, especially those directly impacted like Ukrainians and even Russians. This is a war which has far-reaching impacts, even on those who have not a clue as to what's happening, which is why the everyday people need to be who decides. Because some of our governments have shown that they don't quite represent their people's interests, despite claiming their actions are, and can't be relied on in a situation like this (the UN has done precious little to help out or to end things, for example).

Mr. President Zelenskyy,
On behalf of the world βthe sane, humane citizens of it, at leastβ I must humbly disagree, BUT not in a negative way; nay, it's because our collective appreciation extends beyond your amazing Ukrainian Armed Forces... It most definitely extends to both you, Mr. Zelenskyy, AND every Ukrainian β every new born baby, every child, young adult, and especially the elderly because so many of them refused to leave their home which sat on the land that is rightfully there's ! (who instead raised one, very important finger... ok and bag of sunflower seeds... at every Russian soldier that passed by! πππ»)
The world is grateful to you ALL, for your steadfast resolve, courage, resilience, but most importantly: your humanity! Without that humanity, all you are doing is fighting. Even if the fight is over land that is rightfully that of the defenders, if one does so only with passion but not COMPASSION, then that fight is for selfish reasons (*coughPutin*).
Ukraine shows that humanity, that compassion! Most importantly is it being shown towards those despite having invaded her land, killed her soldiers, ravaged her towns, and committed countless war crimes against her people... Yet you still do it, because it is the RIGHT thing to do. _(also, let's be honest, because many of those soldiers, particularly since mobilization, have not been given a choice since either they go to be pointlessly killed, or they are pointlessly sent to prison for a good portion of their life; thus, one really can't help but feel a little sorry for them.)
You, your people, your country... For me, and I am ashamed to say it, Ukraine was almost completely an unknown to me. With the exception of knowing a tiny bit about your rocket industry, which after this is over I hope is able to return to doing the great things it had been, before this nonsense (and.... I also know of the embarrassing and unprofessional conduct of my [USA's] former-president, holding relief aid hostage in exchange for information regarding a personal vendetta of his π)
But I digress... Before, I knew little, and in turn I had "minded my own business" on the goings-on back then. As such, I had no opinion on those matters and thereby made no fuss about it. However, now I realize that you, along with everyone and everything that makes up Ukraine, deserved better. From me, but also my country, and I suspect many others, and their countries, now feel similarly...
For all of that, I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE... to you, your people, your country.
We've been trying to make good on our past failures, but I STILL wish we would do more, namely by officially sending in soldiers β or at least offer incentives and support to our soldiers, to voluntarily fight as part of Ukraine's Foreign Legion, and not on behalf of the US or by any government order!
Instead, we cower, afraid of a madman resorting to nuclear use; either the small yield Tactical nukes (ie artillery), or the much bigger Strategic nukes (ie multi-warhead ICBMs). Which, personally, I feel those are all hollow threats and do not think he would ever go through with that, since it would certainly mean his demise, and the impression I've gotten is he likes where he is in life and does not want to lose it. So unleashing such, would either result in: him being internally dealt with by fellow members of his government and/or military, or his country overthrowing him by revolting, or a joint black ops mission by multiple countries to take him out. (Mind you, I can appreciate such restraint, if we were talking about North Korea... If fully expect THAT nutjob to launch everything he has, just to watch the world burn!)

My hope is that the crazy warm weather we are seeing in the US, happens in Ukraine! It will decimate the poorly equipped (clothing) Russian soldiers!
Where I live in Tennessee (Eastern US but is halfway between the Northern and Southern halves), in early December all was normal. Cool temperatures (8-10C), but it still warm enough to rain, and rain it did... poured down for a couple days straight... Then? Everything went completely sideways!
The wind kicked up really strong for a couple days, and then overnight, temperatures shifted WAY down! With the windchill it was -23C... The ground that was soaking wet was now freezing, and by the next day it was all like cement. (I'm originally from a state that borders Canada, and on the winter, -23C WITHOUT the wind, was normal... but down here that's not typical; they don't even have snow plows down here)
If Ukraine, which is already cold , saw a warm blast which was enough to cause rain? Those ill equipped Russians would turn into fascist icicles! π π₯Άπ³οΈ
So UATV, be sure to keep your soldiers well-informed about the weather, so they know if they will need to have rain coats (or garbage bags lol) ready, so their gear doesn't get wet and freeze! ... Or so they can relocate equipment, so that tank tracks and vehicle wheels aren't at risk of freezing inside the mud overnight!

I've got a new nickname for Putin! π
Fuhrer-Tsar Voldemort Puddin
Title, is inspired by what Zelenskey said (although, he was listing them lol)
Voldemort needs no explanation... "Yer a gizzard, Larry!" - Hagrid, probably
Puddin I can't take credit for. It was an autocorrect-typo someone made in a video comment that I feel in love with; such a non-threatening and emasculating nickname that I figure would surely infuriate the man! π
Anyways, another great propaganda video, Zelenskey! Well done, and again, well spoken. I stand by my suggestion that/nomination of YOU being also awarded the "Hero of Ukraine" medal, as you are very deserving of it, no matter what!
Anyways, since "annexing" seems like such a foolish thing Russia likes to do... I say you annex-back (de-annex? lol) Crimea!
But don't stop there, either... Be a total dick like Putin, and annex the entirty of Russia!! ππ
Granted, not a great idea, but it'd sure be a great insult! π€
