Welcome to Thunderdome

By all accounts the Ukrainians have no answer for the glider bombs being dropped by the Russian Air Force. Nearly ~500 of the 500lbs+ bombs fall on forward positions PER DAY. By far the most effective tactic that Russia has employed in the war.

If NATO doesn't send something to counteract this, Ukraine will lose the East, and are in danger of a breakthrough in other areas.

It's bad.

Our government is a dumpster fire.

Unfortunately, these places all have wind. That many nukes would fuck everybody.

Just hold your breath.

Russia considers sexual violence a weapon of war.

This story would have been a bigger deal prior to the Hamas attack on Israel. I find it fascinating how Ukraine has been almost completely forgotten by the woke. They're all on the Hamas train and justifying Hamas' attack on Israel. Not just the attack, but the murders, rapes, and hostage taking. I mention all this because these are the very people who would have lost their minds over this story a year ago.

Tell me social media, particularly TikTok, isn't manipulating and brainwashing their users and I'll sell you a bridge.

BTW, all the shit in the article should be war crimes. War is hell, but it doesn't have to be this level of evil.

"Wasn't us. They were already raped when we got here."

Ukraine claims drone strike destroyed a Russian Su-57.

I'm guessing there are some pretty pissed off Russian military folks about this one.

Also, the "Felon"? Really?

Travis Leake sentenced to 13 years in Russian penal colony over drug charges.

He's a white male, so let's see if the U.S. bends over backwards to bring them home like they did for a black woman.

Family of yet another American held in Russia wants Biden to do something.

She's not a black lesbian basketball player, so who cares?

Could you (non journalist) American idiots stop going to a country that is constantly threatening to Nuke every Western country on the planet?

At this point, you deserve it.

*Not Evan*

This lady just wants for the USA to treat her like Evan.

But uh... It's not like we are having ANY luck there either.

Russian court sentences U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich to 16 years in prison

They really, really don't like journalist who say anything but the party message these days. It's not like we aren't trying.

This is honestly a solid point.

I remember when the U.S. hikers went into Iran by mistake and caused a situation. I thought to myself back then, "Why the fuck were you anywhere NEAR Iran?"

Some peeps think the warnings are all right-wing hate.

You can't tell me Russian politk ₽₽₽₽₽'ers don't have anything to do with that.

(I looked up the $ sign for rubles)

I remember a few years ago, some yahoos were hiking through.... some 'stan.... to prove that all the warnings were bullshit, and the people there were peaceful. They got killed by warlords.

History is filled with stories of people going where they don't belong, thinking the people there would be friendly, only to end up dead and/or on the menu.

Like that dude who forced himself to the uncontacted tribe in the Indian Ocean, despite warnings not to, and they killed his ass.

CNN says with Trump looming and Ukraine not making big moves, Zalinski is open to negotiations with Russia.

Russia offering citizens $22K to go fight in Ukraine.

Soon it'll be "go fight or accidentally fall out a window."
