Can you comment on my comment regarding Russians not being able to fight at night? Is this true?
Don't know, but I highly doubt it. China and Russia have been stealing our tech for years so... I am pretty sure however that a lot of their equipment is pretty old. They could have retrofitted with night vison upgrade I suppose. Read an article a while ago where they were bragging, they had better night vision capability than us but, I just don't know how true it was.

So it could just be propaganda from the Russians? I find it hard to believe they can’t fight at night. They are saying that right now on Fox News.

Prof. Mychailo in Ukraine just said 2,800 Russian Soldiers have died "today". He said "they are getting clobbered".

"I'm watching Russian paratroopers get shot as they attempt to land".

"I watched Russian soldiers get lost in a neighborhood and when they asked for directions, they were surrounded and taken as POW's.”

"Nobody is taking over this country."
I wish I could believe this was true. God willing it is. Because Putin can choke on it if so.
 
Born and raised in Louisville originally. Spent last three years of high school outside of E-Town in Vertrees Ky before joining the Army. My finances for many years had me buying cheap. I still buy pretty cheap unless I am going to have guest at the house which is rare.
But you are out of state now? I assume? Regardless, thank you for your service brother and I appreciate your perspective. More than most.

People can do and say what they want it isn’t my job to stop someone from doing something. Cancel culture isn’t real. It’s made up. It’s a myth. People have been receiving backlash for their actions and people have been censored for centuries. That’s not cancel culture. That’s life.

The Cancel culture is real. Just because people have been dicks over the ages does not mean that the cancel culture is fake. Stop gaslighting what we have all seen play out.
 
But the opinion is wrong if it’s saying Biden has handled ANYTHING well. Can you agree with that or no?
No. And it’s my opinion. Not yours. How. can you not get that. So your contention is Biden has don’t zero things right? And don’t ask me to list things he has done right because you will just disagree and it’s a waste of my time.
 
I loved this comment but feel for the Russian soldiers who most likely want jack to do with this.

Also, just heard Russians can’t fight at night? For real?

Yeah. they don't have night vision technology. No telling how many Russian soldiers got to Ukrain and mysteriously vanished as they had no desire to kill innocent civilians.

Cancel culture is a made up word with made up context from a made up group of people who have made up beliefs about their made up leaders and heroes.

I’m not gaslighting you unless you feel that I’m making you question your sense of reality in which case I would tell you that if you’re questioning your own sense of reality then you never really truly believed what you were saying to begin with. So who’s gaslighting who?
 
Putin has believed his own bullshi!. He didn’t knock out their air force first to take control of the skys. He may try tonight but much tougher than 24 hours ago

I told you guys the Russians would get bogged down. I'm sticking with it. They may be able to eventually win but it's not going to be easy. Had a long talk today with a guy who believes the Russians are our military superiors. Whatever.

I don't want us involved but I don't mind if the equipment that kills Russians is delivered by the Americans and the Brits.

Retired from military in July 97 and worked at Ft. Sill with military contractor for a little over 7 years and then Civil Service for 15 years. Met my wife here around the time of my military retirement year and we got married in 2000. Been around Sill since. She was New York born and raised until she was 18 and came out here to help her mother raise her brother. She was 23 when I met her and I was 39. Took me all of 21 plus years to get her watching UK games (she started this year) and now she gets almost as mad as I do if they screw up. I have created a monster. Just call me Victor.

I agree. The issue here
Putin apparently believed the Ukrainians would just lay down and accept Mother. This is maybe why he didn’t lead a massive barrage of missiles to take out as much of the Air Force and anti air missile systems. Which is what you should do in any invasion.
Nope, he sent the soldiers only hours after missile strikes
 
^Can’t remember where I saw it (Apple News), but one publication had an article on Putin and talked about how he doesn’t sense danger. Unique type of sociopath. He is a genius but not by that much, apparently. Is making a lot of stupid mistakes.

We have witnessed it. So, you can save your breath/typing with me.
 
Speaking of vodka, and directly relevant to this thread: Khor Platinum, a wheat- and corn-based vodka distilled in Ukraine, is available here in the USA. Bargain-priced with decent reviews. Couple months ago, I purchased a bottle. Not bad. Plan on buying anotherottle soon.

If some here feel so inclined to support Ukraine, I can think of few better ways for expressing such support. Cheers!

Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water? Vodka is what they drink. That's why I always drink rainwater and pure grain alcohol.

Genuinely hope that Russia loses an entire generation to this. F*** ‘em.

I guess I get the sentiment but war is awful. Those 100+ that were just shot down and fell out of the sky were probably a bunch of terrified 20 year olds brainwashed by Putin (or forced into it). Just gut-wrenching to think about on that level.
 
Watch a variety and somewhere you'll get reality. I just laugh at people like you that mock FOX News while your probably watching CNN, NBC, CBS or ABC as if they are telling the complete truth.


Add sources to your news rotation that stem from large organizations that (are supposed to) carry. something of a politically neutral charter / mission - examples could be :

WHO - World Health
OSCE - Org Secuy/Coop in EU
WTO - World Trade
UN & their various sub-orgs (UNHCR, UNESCO etc)

Also try scanning the press release tabs on multiple USG Dept Level Entities like :

HUD - Housing
DHS/CDC - public health
VA - veterans
DoD. - Defense
 
The Vatican’s webpage divides into 4! subsections and generally carries updates and plans relevant to the Catholic Churches POV - you may be surprised at how helpful their site can be to learn about stuff happening

Make sure you target specific foreign nations and try to get two sources per nation - here are some i use :

Russia - RT and Sputnik — TASS
Israel - Israeli Times - Jerusalem Post - Harretz
Canada - Canada Today —?
Japan - Japan Today — Japan Times
Germany - The Local - Berliner Zeitung

and make it a point to notice frequency of specific stories and how common they are across a robust group of sources like these -

Just suggestions -
