Comrade, strange coincidence.
If given the choice between Chinese instant ramen or Chinese car tires, I'm taking the ramen all day and twice on Sunday!Chinese-made MREs: the mind boggles and the stomach rebels.
... In any case, quite a different beast than the extremists in SE Ukraine, who for example threaten the lives of any politician entertaining peace negotiations. Anyone remember the (1st or 2nd) Ukranian negotiator who was brutally murdered by Azovs perhaps around almost two weeks ago? A far cry from our much fabled Jan. 6 theatre.

I am not so sure about this grim outlook for Russia. Oh its grim alright, that's the wrong question though, the right question is : Is it sustainable? Can Putin keep the wheels turning *with* sanctions and whatnot. I feel like this is a calculus he has made *before* he moved on Ukraine. I suspect this is his endgame, this massive divide between our people.
I would like to see a sources for this; links please.
At least you didn't say explosive something...Common denominator: Skid marks?
definition of skid marks is somewhat fluid...At least you didn't say explosive something...
So known sources of propaganda are making claims and you give them credence? Find a CREDIBLE source.This is at least what Russia is claiming, as well as more pro-Russia sources like southfront.org.
However, apply this logic: If you were in a city that were besieged and getting depleted of essentials such as food, wouldn't you exit along a humanitarian corridor? I sure would, unless somebody was holding me against my will.
Latest news is that a caravan of ~160 cars managed to exit just today or yesterday.
Southfront claims the Azovs or extremists within the Ukranian army managed to hit central Donetsk with a large cluster munition loaded SRBM. From many sources and actions, it's clear to me these are extremists on the same level of ISIL.
Eh, slow news day.perhaps you guys should just put him on ignore, he's just regurgitating the same insane shit over and over
Yeah, I'm waiting for this story line to fill out over the next couple of days. Seems unlikely that China would go that far. Maybe Vlad gave China the deal of the century - $40/BBL crude for the next decade. China is somewhat insulated from Greater sanctions at the moment because of greater problems in the US and other western counties with inflation woes. So Xi may be willing to take some chances. Time will tell.I sort of doubt the Chinese send anything too problematic. Food and trucks? Sure. Armored vehicles? Maybe. SAMs? ehhhh probably not.
The very idea that the Russians are running short of AFVs though is just doing laps in my brain.

Land mines found on escape routes in Ukraine that lead to Russia and Belarus
Ukrainians hoping to leave Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol and Sumy today may have to head towards Russia or Belarus, a move that has been described as "cynical beyond belief" by Europe Minister James Cleverlywww.mirror.co.uk
Why would Russia do this to ethnic Russian Ukranians trying to seek safety in counties aligned to RU (Belarus and Russia)??? Please use at least a little bit of critival thinking.
Perhaps more than you realize. I cannot find the source of it at this time but I have a memory of reading about the titanic lift that Russia made at the ass-end of WW2, moving millions of troops, millions of tons of material, assets, vehicles, supplies, etc across 10,000KM of Russian territory to engage Japan with its full force, and it did so in like a week. Stalin's Russia had a breathtaking ability to muster, it birthed the cold war just as much the nukes did imho.I know you guys suck with logistics, but damn. Oh how the mighty have fallen...
I'll post this pic again and explain what it is, since the point was entirely missed.

But please, elaborate on how Ukraine is so different and obvious justification for a foreign invasion and murdering of children, women, elderly and other civilians.
Thank god you're highlighting the Azov bowling green attack. Never remember!Ok, I did miss that bizarre T-shirt. Unless it is an agent provocateur (not at all uncommon in these times) I would consider this guy an extremist. Who is this particular individual, and what is he being charged with?
How is Ukr different? If you read my previous few posts I made that very clear. I'll add additionally that they are possibly worse than ISIL, because they seem to have infiltrated the Ukr government, including their SBU.
True, in this case it's scewed. It might still get you in the right ballpark. And, as Osiris reported, you often can just bump into random people that aren't friends.
I think if there was a real Nazi problem in the US I would've come across some anecdotal trace of it, if not bumping across something myself at least through my circle of acquaintances.
Is there an option for the residents to walk away, or are they being held by Azovs?
Confederates are Neo Nazis?! That Dukes of Hazard TV series I watched as a kid is actually a Neo Nazi show?
I'm not too familiar with southern culture as that's the one corner of the US I never lived in. My knowledge there is pretty much limited to Dukes of Hazard and the occasional Hollywood or MSM blurb (not that I follow those closely).
It could be that some of these guys are harmless history buffs or just want to retain part of their culture and history. In any case, quite a different beast than the extremists in SE Ukraine, who for example threaten the lives of any politician entertaining peace negotiations.

Jesus Christ, stop posting.Why would Russia do this to ethnic Russian Ukranians trying to seek safety in counties aligned to RU (Belarus and Russia)??? Please use at least a little bit of critival thinking.
