Newsmax report on Russian antiwar protests

"Russia's suppression of free speech was so quick and so brutal

we had to confirm that we were seeing video form Moscow and not Ottawa,

but indeed it was Russia, following the example of Canada's dictator of silencing free speech & peaceful protests"

US rules out a no-fly zone. Thank god some level of sanity prevails.

so this Ghost of Kiev MiG pilot making multiple Russian kills was a hoax

never happened, completely fake, just like the Snake Island fake story

wag the dog is off the charts

the CIA & Democrats are saying the exact same thing TC says

you have to choose a side,

and that side has to be Ukraine,

otherwise you are treasonous; "pro Russian"

failing to support Ukraine against Putin is the new Jan 6th

TC posted that Ghost of Kyiv fake news as well, come to think of it

I'm still on Freedom Convoy duty, walking & chewing gum at the same time

I've got Freedom Convoy going from youtube on my 55" tv

I'm monitoring the more interesting military aspects of the first real war of the post Pax Americana era, on laptop

absurd wag the dog aspects notwithstanding, Orwellian af

10 mins combat footage compilation

just an observation of Russian kit

I'm not seeing many BMP's

the Russians are using modernized versions of the MT-LB mostly

like the armored vehicle that runs over the car

that's an MT-LB armored personnel carrier with a boxy remote turret mounted top rear

that's the most common vehicle I've seen in the operation so far

notice the car get rocketed with BM-21 on the streets, those are scary but they don't seem to do much damage

those NLAWs look like they are doing serious damage tho

[Smitty-48]

it's a vicious war

there are no good go's on this operation

look at how jumpy these Russian conscripts are

this is not limited intervention

this is total war for national survival

this makes Afghanistan look like a cakewalk

much higher intensity and pace than any sort of COIN

this is maneuver warfare in the classical sense

frightening
