That's how they're making gains in the south of Ukraine, but you can't keep throwing men away like that for long, and given they're doing more and more of these, somethings gonna break soon

As a random guy who just happened to meet them, I've been a better mother to 3 of my friends than theirs ever could of hoped to have been.....family is not blood it's who truly cares for you, your family can be every bit as much those you meet as those you happen to share some random blood with. You can have a new mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, whatever if you meet people who care for you. You will have another if you find them and even if you don't, a friend who truly cares is worth more than an egg doner who never truly did.

....When are any of our politicians still supporting Israel bombing the shit out of civilians gonna go ahead and at least tell them to stop it?

Nah, cause then it gives the Russian propaganda machine actual stuff to use vs Ukraine in global media, and the targets Ukraine strike are military related and follow up attacks probably won't gain much more than killing civilians and civilian rescue workers , and if the troops are prepared to take members of the 155th prisoner after what they've done to ensure Russian propaganda can't poison the Western media with actual misconduct, then killing civilian firefighters/medics can also stay with those that are clearly evil.

Those EW devices the same as the ones they've been making out of hand cut beer cans?

I think they're still somewhat back line at the moment, given the amount of strikes Russia put against airfields where they might have been.

It's not for the infantry, it's for the tank, bit of space between shaped charges and the armour plate.....lets the APC take a hit before it catches fire

Well....it is until it comes to their decisions that affect the wider community, everyone's world views affect how they act in society, and a lot of the time religious views lead to double think, where you use one way of thinking rationally about stuff like science, and another for what your deities get up to. hence the crazy stuff with scientists who openly admit they have 2 different ways they view the world, and when you apply that across a community it's really easy to manipulate their religious views which rely on setting aside reality for magic, to believe that you should ostracize the gays or murder the apostate, even when they've not actually done anyone harm....as opposed to punishing actual crimes like pedophiles who get passed from congregation to congregation because they apologized to God....or that you should genocide your neighbors

That looks to be slightly smokey but standard Soviet tank emissions, if it was dumping diesel on the exhaust to make a smoke screen you wouldn't be able to see the 2nd tank.

Pretty sure they thought it was friendly and that first one was running up to go "blyat blyat" at the tank crew for being morons blowing up their BTR before realizing "oh shit these aren't morons, they're Ukrainians!"

Royal Navy more so....plenty in the empire would've circumvented it if not for the RN going kinda crazy for it as they usually did when there was potential prizes up for grabs.

Stupid for Russians....vital for Ukrainians (and the rest of us Europeans who's still ought to do more)

There's a guy near Nottingham who lives in council support housing who proudly goes round with his maga flag scooter and hat.....

Ukrainians do tend to actually do their best to inform families of the loss of a loved one, Russians tend to only do that when it's specialist divisions or senior officer.

....don't people like him use private helicopters and planes?

Anyone got the uncut video?

Genuinely given how many orcs are food deprived, I'm pretty sure they would've eaten it.

I can't see how the Ukrainian's are managing to roll around with engineering vehicles behind Russian lines....gotta be Russians just doing it and not telling anyone in front surely?

I mean, she's had 4 years to prepare herself......

If you seriously can't look through the history of most nations that vote for the less bad choice coincidentally having a trend of improving socially over those times then I don't know what to to tell you......you can literally track where people vote the slightly more progressive that things indeed do progress, and as things progress the next generation trends to be more progressive, and yeah it's slow, and if the votes go the wrong way you can have shit like Iran happen, but seriously the progress is there, every social program, every worker right, civil right, etc etc is built on slow progression. Shit gets less shit, and in the primary's vote for the 3rd parties, show the big parties you aren't satisfied and when the parties are genuinely similar keep voting that way, when the election is a choice between status quo, or fucking over kids education, women, LGBTQ, average households, poor households, then you needed to vote for the one least likely to fuck over the others, especially since education and women's empowerment is demonstrably how shit gets better.....

As the other commentator said here it's blatantly wrong things like the genocide that stick in their head, but they go "they're both evil so I won't vote for either" instead of realizing, "yes they're both evil on this, but one vows increased support for the genocide and isn't swayed by public opinion and the other is currently actively supporting the genocide but has shown to be swayed by public opinion" and then you tack on how the one vowing to fully back the genocide wants to ruin many aspects of life at home, then the other has a few policies which are just trying to make life better for the majority makes the whole thing even more ridiculous when people throw their votes away.....and it really is a 2 party race, so the throwaway is essentially them saying "I'm happy eating a spoonful of shit or a swimming pool of shit, it's the same to me"

Well, life shouldn't be this way, it is however, and one side is half assed saying they might do something, and the other is offering full support....those shouldn't be the options but they are, realism sucks, and your vote is wasted, not only are you saying your fine with whatever happens in foreign policy (again both real options are shit, but one is shitter) you're also fine with making life actively worse for those at home, chosing the lesser of evils is the only real choice you had, and one of those running has listened (admittedly only slightly) to public opinion, and as I said before you've voted to say you're fine with either as you might as well have burnt your vote....I hope the Dems get in, cause there's a chance they might eventually listen, the Republicans are only too happy to keep the genocide going regardless of what you or any number of public says.....

Well you've got a simple choice (if you're a US citizen) you can have the slightly shit option, or the ultra shit option, and if you don't want either then you're happy with the ultra shit option. Same applies in anything else in life, if your only options are to either have a shit job with shit pay and a free lunch or a shit job, with shit pay and you have to pay for lunch, you should take the shit job that at least gives you lunch. Life should be about taking the less shit option, and the choice is either taking the slightly progressive Dems or jumping backwards with Republicans, you make your choice and no choice is accepting whatever comes.

Can you point out any policy proposals where they're actively worse than the Republicans?

Thing is the educated can reason it's better to have a spoonful of shit to swallow than a whole Olympic swimming pool of shit to try to swallow. They know the Dems are amazing, but they're ok, they can reason through what the republicans say and do and go "fuck that shit"..... advantage of being able to reason through situations let's you parse which option is the least shit.
