Warfare Russia/Ukraine War

[Fish&Chips]

I wonder if it was a vehicle ambush, because that's quite a lot of casaulties.

Edit: Nvm article seems to actualy clarifiy that their vehicles were ambushed.

Might have been this one:

It shows a destroyed column of tracked apcs and trucks plus a number of charred bodies. The poster claims that it was a Rosgvardiya unit that got halted by Ukrainian forces.

The automated translation of the title reads "A Ukrainian soldier fires a machine gun at a civilian as he ventures out into the streets of Kiev during curfew." Those guys don't look like regular soldiers though.

that would be considered a war crime.

Nor what China or India want, in truth. It doesn't matter which system they're trying to attach themselves if their currency has become worthless.

Oil, gas, coal, wheat, titanium, aluminum/aluminium, steel, arms, tourist rubles, all things radioactive and............ vodhka + babushka, and more.

Printed banknotes are for over-the-counter payments in the grocery or other types of physical exchange. Today's money does not even exist physically, but it is pushed back and forth virtually in the form of balances, loans, debits, and booking positions. Gold, too, needs to be physically exchanged, so there's only barter left.

Clear and present challenge.

That is true and I still think that the Russian side will manage to win this war. However, if we are to compare Desert Storm to this, you have to take in perspective that there are several differences.

1) Russian side has sustained at least x2 casualties in 4 days than the whole coalition had in the whole operation.
2) Russian economy unlike the American one at that point is in ruins.
3) Russia lost the information/propaganda war.

This will turn out to be a Russian pyrrhic win and quite possibly the beginning of the end for Putin's regime.

Yes. I also want to add, Desert Storm were expeditionary forces. They just didn't hop in their GAZs and drive there. Much more difficult.

In the 1990s, Russia was almost bankrupt and paid her debts to South Korea with tanks and helicopters. But payment in money is always acceptable. Tanks aren't. Yes, Russia has other goods to trade in, but why would e.g. China accept deliveries of, say, rare earths as payment if they have enough of that crap of their own? There's a reason why modern economies pay in money, not in kind. And there's a reason why Mr. Putin responded to Western sanctions as drastically as he did. Russia cannot possibly maintain her economy and standard of living without access to international banking hubs.

I wouldnt say US support for UA is muted, while I know of dozens of vets that are on their way over their or making preparations to do so.
I would say that the number is going to end up in the hundreds....
