I'm most definitely in the first camp, and in an admission of sorts the Russian fleet in the area near Odessa have been shifted back further from the coastline.

It's difficult to judge from one photo, but he looks like a man who doesn't experience a lot of joy in his life. A persons predominant mental and emotional state often becomes etched on their face as they age, he shares a rather grim looking disposition I saw over many years on the face of...

There is going to be a long period of recession and economic stagnation for Russia as it suffers for Putins mis-adventures. He'll likely stay in power until he dies, cowering in his fortresses and bunkers while his people suffer for their blind faith in a megalomaniacal and murderous dictator...

The part about Western companies leaving temporarily is interesting, they may actually believe that. Putins government clearly doesn't comprehend how badly their actions have been received in the west, and how toxic doing business with Russia has become. After re-evaluating the risk profile of...

What a complete load of rubbish, in a thread infested with supporters of an unjustified and brutal invasion of a sovereign nation, this post somehow takes the cake. Welcome to my ignore list.

Just about every post made on this site will get at least one thumbs down. For just about every possible position a poster can take on any subject, there will be someone who reads it and takes the absolute opposite position.

They'll say that they just wanted a risk card (reference to the board game).

This pay in roubles move is also just for political purposes to create the impression Putin's Russia and it's economy are stronger than it actually is. The same can be said for the rebound in the value of the rouble, a combination of strict capital controls on outflows and as you mentioned high...

Yeah I just watched CW Lemoine do a breakdown of the trailer confirming its an f-14, but I took SQ8's word for it. Seems like there's going to be some plot holes big enough to drive a burning T-90 through, but I'll still go and watch it.

Surrendering to Russia will likely cost even more lives in the long run. Ukrainians are well aware of the brutality Russians have and will use to supress any dissent.

Fair enough. Doesn't make sense that a navy pilot would be flying an experimental USAF black jet anyway.

Indonesia looks amazing, hope I have the opportunity one day to see around the country. Going over the border from Singapore to JB doesn't really count.

Gambit would know, but would Navy pilots test USAF planes? Got a feeling that Maverick won't be testing a darkstar but stealing one. And the shot with the su-57 in the background surely can't be from an f-14 which are twin seaters (unless we're somehow seeing from the back of the pilots seat)...

Once the rocket or missle penetrates the top armor of an Abrams is it necesarily a kill? A lot has been made over the years about the death trap Russian tanks with the ammo bin exposed, footage from this conflict repeatedly shows ammo and fuel cooking off after missle strikes and often...

Just on the topic Just out of interest, how would an Abrams or a Challenger fare against the same type of attack?

From the way the trailer is edited and speculation about the plot, I think he's in what's supposed to be an SR-72 not a F-14. Edit: Apparently Matchbox have released images of the official toy of the fictional movie version of the SR-72. It's called Darkstar in the film and is hypersonic...

One theory is that Mad Vlads yes men didn't think he was actually going to give the order to invade, right up until the last minute. And like all good yes men, they kept telling Putin what he wanted to hear. Meanwhile it was business as usual for the Russian generals, selling fuel and supplies...

There is a nice, self sufficient bunker with room for millions in the South Pacifac. It's called New Zealand. There are a lot of Billionaires parking up here at the moment-US, European, Chinese and even a couple of Russian oligarchs. Some very well known names too. Nobody is going to nuke us...

Will tech sanctions have any direct effect on Russias ability to replenish stocks of various missles used in the current conflict?
