  4. It is a small town but it has significant strategic value being a high ground over surrounding towns. It is also *behind* Ukraines current line of defense. There’s another one behind it for them to retreat to but the loss of the town will be highly damaging to Ukrainian defense efforts.

    Current UAF units are in reporting very high losses due to the lack of artillery/counter battery support.

    The GOP, as it turns out, was the best Russian asset militarily. Had the aids passed earlier, we wouldn’t be here.

  6. Imagine the level of outrage if the Israeli IDF use chemical weapons… Nobody gives a damn about the crime commit by the Russian military.

  10. Interesting, how this turned into a politics thread so quickly… Regardless of how you vote, or what you think of US politicians, the fact that young Russians and Ukrainians are being sent to die over some fertile soil and off shore oil/gas is truly a travesty. The US aid will do nothing but prolong the fight between the two countries, which might be good for us, but terrible for the ones living in that part of the world.

  11. When Ukraine wins the war, what’s going to happen to Russia? Is there any real way to hold Russia accountable? Is there any legit way to extradite and try Putin for his crimes? Or will Russia just brave the storm, take some sanctions on the chin for a few years, then use their resource surplus to eventually crawl their way back into global geopolitics once again? Just a joke of a situation all around.

  13. > Riot control gasses such as tear gas are classed as chemical weapons when deployed on the battlefield and, as such, are prohibited in warfare under the Geneva Protocol of 1925.

    This isn’t actually true, riot control agents are allowable in war… Provided of course, it doesn’t precede offensive operations.

  14. Unfortunately the next few months will be very difficult for Ukraine. Russia will pish more aggressively before the F-16 will arrive.

  15. Time to end this “conflict”, and pOopstain and his minions too❗️
    and by minions i think you know who i mean.

  17. Chemical weapons? Seriously?? Isn’t this supposed to be a huge no no? Seriously at this rate, they could use tactical nukes and face ZERO consequences

  18. At what point does the us government step in, institute a no fly zone, and then bomb the fuck out of all Russian positions until there are no living Russian fighters left? This is insane that we are letting this go on.

  20. Ukraine has chemical weapons, right? Use them back.

    It’s speculated that Hitler did NOT use such weapons in WW 2 because he knw the Allies had them and would use them in retaliation.

  21. I guess USA using weapons and killing over a million in Iraq was ok. War is good for business.

  22. I start to wonder if Geneva conventions are really just Geneva “suggestions”. War crimes don’t get punished anymore, just stern warnings and tough talk.

  24. I was wondering when they were going to go chemical.

    It’s not like they care.

    Nukes they won’t use mostly because they want to leave something to take.

  25. U mean tear gas? If it’s ok to use on civilians on a daily basis then it’s okay to use on the battlefield

  27. Blah blah war crimes. Stop making empty comments, if the use of chemical weapons is so bad then declare war on Russia or at least a special operation.
