Russia / Ukraine thread

They do that because they take off from snowy/icy runways and closing off the main intake prevents ice balls from being sucked into the turbines. We don't do that because we actually plow and maintain our runways and ensure they are FOD free.
You mean they assume that their equipment will be maintained by conscripts who don't care?

I always assumed RUS had a professional force...apparently they do not from what I have seen. Appears it is all smoke and mirrors. Seriously calls into question this "hypersonic" horseshit. Not that I recommend finding out the hard way.
 

News updates, talks have begun. Russia state TV hack confirmed
UKR shouldn't concede a damned thing to RUS at this point. RUS opened this can of worms. The only thing UKR should say is get the fuck out and we won't shoot you in the ass on your way back to your homeland. If anything, RUS just gave UKR the incentive and reason they should be a part of NATO.

Ukraine has been trying for years, I don't think Europe will let them, even after this :laughing:
 
If they mostly make it out of this and send the Russians home (unlikely, I know)....then they seem like the type of folks NATO would want in their stable. At least from a 'stand your ground' angle.
 
Random request: Did anyone else hear that quote about Ukraine's patriotism vs US patriotism? Something like Ukraine's patriots defend they country while the US "patriots" destroy their own country from the inside?

Nope, sounds like typical commie outsider shit though
 
More or less it was calling the left in the US a bunch of soft city destroying bitchs that would rather destroy their country rather than protect it.

So pretty accurate

It’s not really correct to call them the “left” or “liberal “ any more as some of those folks have not stood by their “woke”, “socialist” members!!!!
 

The United States said it is also simultaneously issuing an exemption allowing “certain energy-related transactions” with the central bank of Russia, as the West has tried to continue the flow of Russian energy exports to sustain the European economy and maintain gas prices.

Translation: We want to look like hard asses but we are still buying oil from Russia #nochange
 
So my wife is in a large knitting and quilting community and apparently one of the more vocal ladies had their house "get hit". Not sure exactly what that means, but they spent the night in the bathroom away from windows and have since evacuated.
 
Not sure whether to laugh or cry as if we get nuked you would be worried about Covid


How do I hold my mask on when my ears fall off? :jester:
