      Was there ever a question that there were foreign fighters in Mariupol? I thought Azov was bragging about it?

      Also, the Nazis are claiming that the Russians used chemical weapons on them. Press F to doubt.

      Pentagon: “The United States believes that China and Russia have significant military capabilities and seek to change the rules-based world order.”

      Rules for thee but not for me. The irony is so ferrous that it hurts.

        I'm gonna make some neolib acquaintances I occasionally see explain what they think "the rules-based order" is. I expect a lot of laughs.

      Copying over from last thread:

      Czech Republic sends trains with tanks on them to Ukraine.

      They specifically sent T-72M1s for anyone curious (and they apparently only sent 5 of them lol). For reference, T-72M1 is the export designation for the T-72A, which entered Soviet service in 1979, and is the same model of tank that the Iraqi army fielded against the US 31 years ago in the Gulf War. Compared to Ukraine's main tank, the T-64BV, they're worse in basically every aspect except for being slightly more mobile.

      Of course, they can still do damage to lightly armored targets, or in ambushes against heavily armored targets. But they'll be made into mincemeat by the majority of tanks and anti-tank weapons fielded by the modern Russian army, and the fact that the Czechs only sent five of them makes this shipment even more useless lol.

        It must be hell trying to train people on all these different weapons platforms, to say nothing of trying to service and maintain them all.

          Ukraine already operates an upgraded variant of the T-72A, the T-72AMT. It seems like the T-72AMT didn't recieve much of an upgrade to the FCS compared to the T-72A/T-72M1 (aside from the ability to fire gun launched atgms), so training shouldn't be too much of an issue assuming they can find an already trained crew.

      Russian citizens expressed a record low interest in leaving the country, with only 8%, compared to 16% the year before.

      man, I wonder how that could have happened, I wonder if the entire West managing to reach levels of xenophobia so high they're starting to ban letters from the alphabet might have something to do with that
