Ukraine says it destroyed Russian military convoy outside of Kyiv
Times of Israel ^ | 2/27/2022 | JOSHUA DAVIDOVICH

Ukraine says it has managed to destroy a column of Russian armored vehicles in the city of Bucha, just outside of Kyiv.

“On the approaches to Kyiv, in the town of Bucha, more than 100 units of enemy equipment were destroyed,” a Ukrainian government account posts on Telegram, along with videos of burning or charred tanks and other armored vehicles.

Regional officials earlier reported buildings and houses on fire in the town, which lies between the key airfield of Gostomel and Kyiv.

Elsewhere, a local journalist reports what he says is a video of two Russian helicopters being shot down.

Good observation given some intel.

The Battle of the Bulge was similar in infiltration.

“They know Putin has lost. Russia is the laughing stock of the world.”

If the 2nd round of anti tank weapons and Stingers reach Ukraine in time, it’s all but over but the Russian crying.

After it is over, our next step should be 1) to send in big SAMs to neutralize air assets...2 send in Harpoons and and send them tanks from our Reserve and NG stocks and allow them to tell Russia to get out of Crimea or they will take ships out.

Thousands of people have died in the past few days in Ukraine. This is one of the great war crimes of our time committed by Putinist Russia. The “good people of Russia” fully deserve every bit of misery they are getting right now. I’m sure all those dead people in Ukraine wish they had Russians plight right now. Waiting in line for an ATM is rough.

Russia is the laughing stock of the world now. Tomorrow Russia will be humiliated at the UN. Putin’s invaders must be leave immediately and all Ukrainian land returned.

Putin isn’t going not going to have a choice on Donbas and Crimea. The people will throw him out. Would you want to be ruled by Putin’s crazies now given an option. Of course not. Nobody would. This isn’t 2014 and the world has changed.

True. A couple decades ago, Eastern Europeans threw out the Soviets really quickly once the Iron Curtain had collapsed.

This time though, they're all Putin's thugs and they rule by intimidation. Once people are no longer afraid, I guess their days are numbered.

Not to be argumentative but I’m not seeing a “Z” on any of those vehicles. Its more likely Ukrainian. Zelensky is rushing to talks with Russia in Belarus folks. Not a victory move.


You don’t understand. The Minsk protocols that favored Russia are gone. For 8 years every meeting was in Minsk. Putin’s protector Merkel is gone. The world has changed. Putin has lost and Russia is a meme right now. The laughing stock of the world.

Putin will surrender in Ukraine rather than risk further humiliation that might give him an end like Mussolini. Or maybe he’ll “retire” again and make another puppet President of Russia.

I don’t think you understand what is going on in the world right now. We are transitioning from being controlled for hundreds of years by a satanic international banking cartel to a new world alliance. Putin has signed on to the alliance.

The only thing Putin has unleashed is a humanitarian crisis.

The world is rightfully outraged seeing the people of Ukraine with babies living in the subway like 1940’s London and the elderly grandmothers learning to shoot rifles.

The world is rallying to Ukraine’s sides

What Putin has done is HORRIFYING and I call upon the leaders of this site to start banning the defenders of this monster.

“If Putin wanted to be in Kiev his tanks would be sitting in the square”

He wants his tanks there but they keep running out of diesel.

I’ve been to Russia. I have Russian friends.

Russian people should suffer now. Their country has murdered thousands in the past few days.

The 2022 Putinist invasion and rape of Ukraine is stain on Russian history that will never go away.

Be grateful there is a civilized world outside of Putinust Russia and that your family are alive today.

And hitting land mines. Two BMP 3s abandoned after they struck mines in the now-thawed ground:

Predictable.

I would say I wouldn’t believe everything you hear on the news but actually I wouldn’t believe any of it.

What is happening in the Ukraine is weakening the criminal foreign belligerent force in DC. I would expect to see things begin to happen very quickly going forward. If you were listening Trump telegraphed it in his CPAC speech last night.

There are some pretty cryptic tweets from Dan Scavino today.

Ukrainian civilian demining a road while smoking a cig. Just another errand to take care of I guess. LOL.

If you are carrying land mines around, lung cancer isn’t really a concern.

The good people of Russia have supported and elected this man for 20 years.

And for centuries tolerated murderous Tzars, murderous Stalin, murderous Lenin, and nearly a century of murderous commies.

They must be gluttons for punishment.

You are wasting your breath with that one. Not mentally stable.

Assured us all that Putin wasn’t massing military on Ukraine’s borders. Assured us all that Putin wouldn’t attack. Assured us all that he had no intention of invading. Assured us all Putin was a reasonable man. Assured us all it was all a hoax.

Now continues to deny reality. Assures us all the war is a hoax. Assures us all the photos are a hoax. Assures us all the videos are a hoax.

Whatever she says: the opposite is true.
