Um, there is a war underway there. Internet is dicey not to mention power.
And yes, I still use maps and even know how to fold them up afterwards.
They don't need the internet to run PowerPoint or whatever app they used to create their map. And "No" a war isn't underway there unless the Ukrainians have mounted an offensive and invaded Belarus.
What paper maps are you looking at... trying to find some buried treasure somewhere?
Maybe it's my confirmation bias desperately looking for good news, but when you go through all the twitter feeds of Russian hardware left unoccupied and abandoned, it really does look like nobody really wants this war except Putin and Lukaschenko. Wonder how long it is going to take till someone takes them out.
anything is possible, but i doubt that they will come to their senses and stop the invasion anytime soon
the coming occupation will be brutal and costly to all involved
pretty sure putin and lukastinko are censoring their media and internet as much as possible
they say sunlight is a good disinfectant and this is why they shield their actions in that controlled information darkness
the blowback from this destruction and killing spree will hopefully lead to their retirement
How long before Putin makes a claim that Canada & USA are actively recruiting and sending men to fight in Ukraine's International force and that this is no different than having to engage with Canadian & US military troops directly and lead to an escalation of this conflict?
I could easily see this being given the spin treatment to try and justify escalating hostilities against the US and other countries.
I bet that there is financial incentive for Russian troops to find and capture (alive) foreign fighters for propaganda fodder. How long do you think it will it take for a captured untrained volunteer foreign fighter to succumb to Russian physical and mental torture as to be coerced into saying (on video) that their own country/government/military forced them to join the Ukraine resistance? Answer: not very.
P.S. And if you happen to be an unlucky American volunteer caught by the Russians in this conflict... you better hope and pray that you are able to free yourself or the Ukrainians are able to save your bacon. There isn't going to be any Special Ops arriving in Blackhawks coming to liberate you.
take a good look at the posture and expression on these faces...
