[dcro 10,210]

Russia will much sooner attack Moldova than the Baltic states. It's the safety of the NATO.

Is it just me or does the scale of the invasion seem very small? I mean, for most of the day I just thought that we aren't getting information on what's happening, but maybe not much of actual significance happened besides the bombing? Either the Russian invasion is somehow failing or Putin wasn't lying when he called it a "special military operation" and this isn't a full scale invasion for now. 

Ukraine is a big country so it might seem small. But considering they are getting invaded from the East, the North *and* the South, the whole incident just can't be classified under a "special operation".

Back in the 1980s it was my theory that the West could swiftly defuse any Russian invasion just by leaving crates of vodka & porn by the side of the road.  Worth a try now.

in 1968 our grandfathers turned the intersection directional signs on the roads and some russian tanks ended up in the lake

 

or like in this village several tanks ended struck in a narrow alley. The whole street from the square to the top of the forest, maybe a kilometer, was filled with a number of tanks and heavy vehicles. It was very difficult for the army, because turning and backing out in a narrow space was a problem and the soldiers, especially the commanders, were quite nervous about it.

I feel really sorry for the ukrainian people who did nothing to cause this. It might be justifiable for other countries not to get involved in the fight, but it makes me lose trust in our system even more when i see that western countries can't even agree on sanctions. I don't believe that this is the will of the normal people. I absolutely don't see why western nations can't just ban Russia from everything. Why still allow russian people to enter western nations? Why still allow russian companies to do business here? I understand that countries are somewhat dependant on russian gas, but this absolutely doesn't explain why they can't agree on sanctions that would barely be felt by their own people. It's not as if Russia is a super important market (considering that the russian GDP is just marginally bigger than the one of Australia).

Looks like the most difficult day will be tadoay but the positive thing is that UKR not doing bad at all at the end, what a brave nation !. Agressors lost around 800 soldiers yesterday.

 

Rumors going some already even laid down their arms themselves and surrendered voluntarily, this officier apologized, he was unaware they arrived here to kill Ukrainians, so surprisingly sometime you can find even a reasonable rusian...
