Related to all of this, has anyone else noticed how the world seems to be increasingly going to sh1t since Trump left office.

 

Weren't we told that him being president would be a nightmare?

 

Seems the nightmare started once he was ousted.

It's fairly simple no one was quite sure if trump would go through with his threats or not so most considered the risk greater than the potential reward whilst most are fairly certain of what biden will do so consider the risk greatly reduced!

In his regular video updates from around the city, Zelenskiy looks pretty tired. But that's understandable really, given the size of the balls he's dragging around.

The NLAW Missiles The U.K. Rushed To Ukraine May Only Be Useful In Desperate Circumstances

In urban environments in which buildings limit lines of sight, however, shorter-range weapons like the NLAW come into their own and can exact a steep toll on armored vehicles, such as occurred in the first Battle of Grozny in December 1994, when dozens of Russian tanks were destroyed by Chechen insurgents mostly using short-range rocket launchers.

But relying on urban warfare is hardly ideal. That means accepting that major cities will be extensively destroyed in the fighting and that hundreds or thousands of civilian residing there will die. Moreover, Russia’s military ultimately did devise a method to deal with heavily defended cities. When Russian forces invested Grozny again in 1999, they systematically levelled it with artillery while creeping dismounted troops slowly forward to identify new enemy positions.

NLAWs therefore will aid Ukrainian troops most if they manage to bog down Russian forces in relatively close quarters urban or rural guerilla warfare, but won’t help at all countering Russia’s preferred tactic of blasting enemies from a long distance.

 

Can see Putin  repeating this tactic......

[peds]

Local media in Russia has been warned over its coverage of the invasion, with threats to block access to their websites.

Its communications regulator Roskomnadzor accused 10 outlets on Saturday of falsely depicting what Russia calls a special military operation in Ukraine, and publishing false information.

It censured them for referring to it as a “attack, invasion, or a declaration of war”, and said the government will stop access if this continues. Fines of up to 5 million roubles are also possible.

They will certainly not repeat the mistake they made in Grozny, so its looking bad for civilians  😑 K

I don't think so. Kyiv is origin of the Rus. Its alao way bigger than Grozny. It seems like he hasnt sent in the majority of his forces. China aren't happy with the Russian support for the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk.
