Russia does not have Tochka-U missiles in service
C+ for hitting the correct talking points, solid F for using easily disprovable bullshit. https://twitter.com/MotolkoHelp/status/1504828927562424321New batch of Tochka-U tactical ballistic missiles was brought to Belarus. Let me guess, they were not planning to use them, just flying them to Belarus for no reason at all because they have nothing better to do during a war.

Ukraine has not even really been bombed yet. I think the blow in the Donbass will not be the last, but rather the first really strong one.
If only the glorious Russian army could man up and fight the real Ukrainian forces instead of killing unarmed civilians: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61036740More than 1,000 people were crowded into a railway station in eastern Ukraine when it was hit by rockets on Friday, an eyewitness has told the BBC.
At least 39 people died and dozens more were wounded when missiles exploded at Kramatorsk station as civilians were queuing to evacuate, according to the regional governor.
Images from the scene show bodies and abandoned bags lying on the platform.
Ukraine said Russia targeted civilians. Russia has denied the attack.

The Ukrainian forces don't seem to be too bothered by the Geneva convention either.Is this not classed as a "war crime"?
It probably is. They shouldn't have bothered taking prisoners just to kill them unarmed.

bitcoin isn't like any educational institution
But it's kind of like an IQ test, isn't it... you either pass the test and enjoy financial freedom, or become a disgruntled nocoiner. As for Bitcoin talk - the name change to shitpostbotfarm can't come soon enough.

why aren't the Russians deploying some of the capabilities they have but so appeared to have held back?
Sounds like a rhetorical question... obviously they don't "have" any such super-capabilities. The retreat from Kyiv, mobilization in DNR/LNR, and a few thousand troops from Karabakh and Osetia is all they can afford to throw at one last push in Donbas. Other than that there's just nukes.

Care to look up how many mixed Ukrainian/Russian families lived in Ukraine? How many held dual citizenship (even though Ukraine doesn't seem to allow it), how many of those predominately Russian speaking cities in east Ukraine on the boarder with Russia had family/relatives in Russia that can shelter them? Let me know what you find
I love your style, throwing out some "questions" instead of making a direct claim, which you would have to substantiate. Just like you were asking "questions" as to why Ukrainians are not letting people evacuate even though it was obvious that Russian forces are controlling the checkpoints and throttling the evacuation and then there's this: https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-04-04/red-cross-says-its-team-travelling-to-mariupol-was-stopped-now-being-heldAs for people from Mariupol "going" to Russia... when you have no food for a month and that's your only option... sure, you'll go to the totalitarian shithole and give up your phone and documents "voluntarily".

That requires Ukraine to win on battlefield
Work in progress. or USA paying few trillions to Libya, Syria, Iraq etc, to give the world and Russia an example
What about what about what about what about what about what about what about However the US did spend many billions on infrastructure in Iraq and Afghanistan, so that's settled then, Putin's gonna pay.

They should reject disarming, accept neutrality, ask for EU membership, reject Donbas area as sovereign countries (but give them broad autonomy inside Ukraine), and they should forget about Crimea
Each passing day more people will die and more both sides will be reluctant to give up fighting and looking for peaceful solution
Of course, they could both choose to be stubborn
"Both sides" but only Ukraine must make concessions. Not very "peaceful" is it? To reward the invader. Here is a proper "peaceful solution" - Russian army goes back to Russia (2013 borders) and Russia pays to restore Ukrainian infrastructure plus large compensations for victims.

ukranians that support their woke government will end up being ashamed fighting for the woke extremist cause
Defending their homeland from looting murderous gangs is nothing to be ashamed of.

USA would attack them, and millions would die.
So Putin is killing Ukrainians to save them from being killed by Americans? What if Ukrainians prefer not to be "saved"?
- "Russians could not have killed them because they were Russian speakers."
I've seen (can't find the source, sorry) a more insane variation of this with regards to Mariupol: "This is not genocide against Ukrainians because Russian forces are killing Russian (or Russian-speaking) civilians".
Another soon-to-be-called-fake about looting gangs (can you imagine the budget Ukrainians must have had to make all this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLA5YimatXY

There are so many lies about this war, coming out of the media, that nobody can be certain of what is really going on.
|
|

So what do we have so far... - No dead civilians, they're actors, waving their hands.
- But if there are dead civilians then Ukrainians killed them.
- But if Russians killed them then we'll call the victims "nazis" and it's ok to kill them.
- But if they're not nazis then Americans have killed civilians so it's ok to kill civilians.
- But if it's not ok to kill civilians, they provoked Putin so it's their own fault.
Did I miss anything?

What was Putin asking them to do that was unacceptable?
Asking? He was taking, not asking - Donbas and Crimea. That's unacceptable. Do you approve 2014 CIA organized coup in Ukraine?
Loaded question. The current Ukrainian government is democratically elected. I wouldn't be so sure about Putin's buddy Yanukovych, but it's definitely up to Ukrainians to decide whom they want to elect, not up to Putin. Do you approve NATO spreading to east, although they promised they won't to Gorbachev?
Loaded question again. It's up to each country to decide if they want to join NATO, not up to Putin.
So I take it you think that Ukraine and subsequently every country in Europe should just give up and gift themselves to Putin.

Nope, Putin said A and he did A. Also, I put video of Zelensky advisor saying "we know Putin will attack if we do A, but we will do it anyway" previously, but someone removed my post without explanation, so I won't repost it
So the Ukrainians should have just given up and done what Putin was telling them to do, is that your point? And then what?

500k Ukrainian refugees went to Russia etc...
Sure, and millions of people "went" to Siberia and other exciting places during Stalin's "раскулачивание".

I have no collateral to offer for this loan.
Why would you need collateral with your stellar reputation of paying late and being a belligerent dolt Let me guess, you'll lock this thread saying that someone already gave you the money.

1. Why is the drone operator following this particular person, what is the purpose of his mission?
The drone is clearly focused on the the vehicles, zooming in and out on them, and the bicyclist is in the lower right corner most of the time. Only after the shot did the camera zoom in on that location. You are wishful thinking. The drone operator follows the person on the bike, sometimes being distracted and giving a more general view of the column of armored vehicles. Nonsense. The drone operator doesn't seem to have noticed where the bicyclist went - at the end the camera was zooming and panning trying to find what the Russians were firing at. And about 30 of the first 90 seconds (before the shot) the bicyclist wasn't even in the frame. You seem to be just lying for no other reason than to waste my time trying to disprove the shit you make up.

There is plenty of evidence of Russian forces shooting civilians for spurious reasons or no reasons, as well as robbing, looting, etc. "No motive" For example: https://www.bbc.com/russian/features-60988371

The Ukrainian source "Cycпiльнe Hoвини" reported that this video was filmed on March 3, 2022 by aerial reconnaissance of the Azov Battalion. This information is in the description at the link. However, on March 3, the Ukrainian media claimed that Bucha "was completely liberated from the invaders". What's the point of this deflection? Are you going to claim that these are Ukrainian military vehicles? Even if media lied about "complete" liberation, the proof still stands.
