https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61251698 At least she didn't say Voronezh as well. British politicians sure are very vocal of late, Truss, Wallace and BoJo. I believe a Polish official had something similar, but can't find a decent source at the moment - maybe they meant taken in this war rather than 2014

Soon...

Wouldn't say it is perception. But not limited to some group, though.

Got Brno to CL knockout for first time, took 4 points off Barcelona too.

Yes, at a state level you need to be relevant for them to care. But was just talking at the level of lay people or media. If Russia were to "stop" though, what would that look like? They'd have to lose Crimea. The British have said that is a war aim - although it is hilarious that they have "war aims".

Well what's the reason, then ? At least here, is fairly easy to not be interested in something you never see reported - why it's not reported, well, that's another question. Maybe is tied to the intensity of the fighting, etc ? But among the people I have seen or heard that are aware of it, the "it's complex" excuse is brought out a good bit, I guess people in complicated situations need to suck on it and die As for making a thread on it, I think there has been some posts on it here.

Interesting, guess we'll see. Hopefully if worst comes to worst the Stingers expire beforehand.

Wonder what will happen then in the worst case as you're outlining if we don't give Ukraine lots of money for free.

I think the defense is not that they're brown, is that the "situation is complex". Really is just not getting saturated with media on it, I think.

Well, the help they'll send after isn't going to be "free", I would guess. Not quite IMF debt slavery, but, heh.

Seems like what artillery is for, really, not indicative of much. Especially from an army that loves artillery as much as the Russians do.

Day off, fun to be woken up at 0300 or so as neighbour had to get taken away in an ambulance. Didn't know they had such bright spotlights on the side.

Some real amusing comments in there, as always is one or two people saying the Iraq invasion was a-ok

Oh yes.

ISW saying he left before the attack, for what that's worth, anyway.

It did make me want to try out DCS though.

It comes pretty close, those sites are heavily used, but whatever. And didn't say you should read them, but their existence doesn't depend on it. In other news, UN and ICRC are managing an evacuation of Mariupol, so that's good news.

Armageddon cannot come soon enough.

Spent 15 minutes on a call with a coworker to explain....what "restart a service" means.

Toronto lost, so all is well

But there are still people reacting that way, believing everything from one "side", so to speak.

Ah, more psychology and passive aggressiveness. What's worrying about this, though? Considering how nebulous "anti-West" can be, they might have a point. For this, Russia must triumph.
