A big part of the problem in defending this part of Donbas, Ostap believes, is that the people who have stayed behind — the people who haven’t fled — don’t really believe they are part of Ukraine. In his view, the civilians who remain are all separatist sympathizers.

These are the same Russian-speaking people Ukraine has been shelling/exterminating ever since the CIA/Soros coup of 2014.

“I nearly beat to death one of the men in my unit,” he confides. “We were in trenches on the front lines. He was using his cellphone.”

They must have good cell coverage.

Demilitarization and de-nazification have always been the stated goals of this “special military operation” . A very different kind of operation.

Gee, ya think the dumb Orc Russkies might have thought to set up cell phone repeaters among their EW gear, for this purpose?

Nah, Orcs are too dumb. Ukraine is going to be marching on Moscow any week now.

No, not at all. The Azov Battalion, Nazis, are to blame for this war, which is why I want no part in this conflict at all.

Even in the front line trenches, perfect coverage. They could make a commercial.

Btw, as critical as this was regarding emitting RF from a cell phone, you'd think they would have ordered them leave their phones behind when going on missions. Or scan/search them. I guess not.

That's the last thing I'd want is a platoon full of people texting to the world.

Where did the 40+ billion we sent them went go? I wonder how many got a piece of that action?

Nuland. Exactly. And don’t forget her diplomatic “f**k Europe” contribution to the whole. An Obama era and now Biden era arms merchant....

Napoleon as well as Hitler had the same dumb idea, and it did not work out very well as Russia beat the you know what out of them.

No. It’s difficult for the Ukrainian army for now, because Russian artillery guns outnumber theirs 10 to 1 or more.

A high intensity third world war will be much more likely to start sooner, if the Russians get what they want in Ukraine.

It was certainly brilliant of the Russians to deploy wheeled truck based AA systems aboard ship after their flag ship cruiser was sunk by a nation with no navy.

It is nice of the Russians switch to wiping from the earth rather than raping from the earth as we saw near Kyiv recently. How charitable of them.
