For sure, the risk is so high to not be worth it. My point was more along the line that there could be nuclear engagement without the MAD scenario.

There is still a scale of nuclear escalation. Tactical Nuclear weapons don't necessarily equate to endworld scenario, this is the role of strategic Nuclear weapons.

Swing and a miss, Bruce, swing and a miss...

Difference being that the Russians gave advance warning and only disabled the tower and did not destroy it. NATO leveled the RTS building and Avala tower to the ground without any warning for the civilians to evacuate. The saddest thing, apart from the victims, is that they destroyed most of archives RTS held in their basement.

And when those particular bombs didn't do anything, then the good old American negotiation kicked in, "retreat or we will bomb you back to the stone age". They would have done it too.

Congrats!

Bulgaria didn't even translate the Chapter requirements in to Bulgarian before being admitted in to the EU. They just winked at the Russian economic union and the EU tripped over themselves to let them join. Even today Bulgaria doesn't have it's internal laws and courts aligned with the EU. It's all a matter of want and the EU stopped wanting after Bulgaria and Croatia.

As if that was ever a requirement for joining the EU.

Oh, yeah... Forgot about that. Well if they get swept up in the sanctions, I'll slip you guys final edition of the game.

Wut.

Ukrainians are claiming the video is fake, but I saw it from two angles...

I mean it's not like it will get worse for them by doing it and it's a middle finger to everyone else.

Rocket launcher.

Damn... https://t.me/voyna_novost/16207 Seems like a Ukrainian/Russian MLRS being destroyed.

And then I read this... https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/02/27/greece-defence-equipment-ukraine/

This may sound a little...whatever... but for now it looks like the Russians are really trying to avoid civilian casualties. Then again it may only look like that, I guess we will never know for sure. But guess in the end it doesn't matter at all, because the best way would have been not to invade after all.

One thing that I'm wondering, do Ukrainian soldiers know how to use the equipment they are being sent?

Oh wow, I've seen none of those. Then again I wasn't going out of my way to search for the stuff.

I saw a video of a tank being destroyed in the morning titled "Ukrainian tank being destroyed", in the afternoon that same video was titled "Russian tank being destroyed". Until this situation is over and we see the end result, it's going to be very hard for us to know what is happening. I know we have a couple of armchair generals here that seem to have spycams in Putin's office and are following his emotional state and mood by the hour, but I wouldn't hold my breath on any news coming out of Russia and Ukraine being true.

Serbia, in it's official statement, condemned the Ukrainian invasion and supports its territorial integrity, while drawing parallels between the 1999 NATO aggression and what is happening now in Ukraine. Saying all that, it will not impose any sanctions on Russia. To translate: The US embassy: "The US salutes the reinforced attitude of Serbia and it's president in their support of the Ukrainian territorial integrity which has been violated by the illegal and unprovoked attack by Russia". Russia: "Thank you Serbia". The Serb at the top: "They must be ****ing with us".

Video of a hit helicopter going down. Very probably Russian. https://t.me/Novyna/13088

I really hope so...

Nope, I imagine that they don't want to use them in complete chaos of an opening of the invasion where they probably have 0 control over them. Tbh, I don't know how much control they will have at all apart from setting general objectives.
