This is from Austria. It shows the differences in views between the vaccinated/unvaccinated on the cause of the conflict.

I think you would see the same split on here

As terrible as the russians are at actual fighting, they are actually very good at psyops. They actually fucked up and made their own population anti-vaccine with how effective their anti vaccine bullshit was. :smh: :lol:


For more than a year, Russian-aligned troll factories overseeing thousands of social media accounts have been accused by Western countries and disinformation experts of spreading anti-vaccine messages in an aggressive campaign to spread conspiracy theories and cast doubt on Western coronavirus vaccines.

But the year-long offensive appears to have backfired.

Russian officials now worry that the anti-vaccine skepticism encouraged by the troll factories has spilled over and is partly responsible for the high level of vaccine hesitancy among Russians. Only 35% of the country’s population is fully vaccinated, despite the wide availability of the country’s home-grown Sputnik vaccine. Despite surging cases the uptake remains sluggish.

Germany approves sale of 100 howitzers to Ukraine - Spiegel

KMW has already started manufacturing the howitzers, the Panzerhaubitze 2000 model, the full run of which which will take several years to complete, Spiegel said. It added that it was not yet clear when the first of the howitzers could be delivered.


Unprecedented and wild considering that Germany itself only has around 100+ in service.

This is a good read that explains how Russia it trying to weaponize gas exports:

In Russia’s strategic calculus, that means European governments must either face a severe economic and political crisis at home, or call a truce in their confrontation with Moscow, accommodating some of the Kremlin’s political demands on Ukraine, and lifting sanctions. But this strategy will only work if EU gas storage levels are minimal. That’s why it is so important for Russia to keep the filling rate as low as possible right now.



Russia's moves today



It will be interesting to see the response...

A lot of people from regions like Tuva sign up to fight because they literally have no other options for work. They are not "ethnically" russian so them being killed in large numbers in Ukraine doesn't really matter to russians.

Ukraine mounts counteroffensive for what could be 'a major blow to the Russian war effort'
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has called on Russian troops in Kherson to retreat, warning that they will be “annihilated” if they remain in the city.
220728-kherson-ukraine-mjf-1043-81033c.jpg

Ukraine has been laying the groundwork for weeks, amassing forces and weaponry, and now it says it is making gains in the country's south.
Bolstered by newly acquired long-range weapons from the West, the country's forces, which long vowed to launch a counteroffensive, have destroyed key Russian targets in the Ukrainian city of Kherson.

Russian troops are “virtually cut off” by the counteroffensive, which is “gaining momentum,” the British Defense Ministry said in its daily intelligence briefing Thursday.

At least three bridges on the Dnipro River have been damaged, it said, adding that the strategic Antonivsky Bridge used to transport supplies to the southern city was likely “unusable.” As a result, Russia’s 49th Army stationed west of the river was “highly vulnerable,” it said.

As things continue to go off the rails militarily, they will continue to lash out like this just like they have in Syria and during the Chechen wars before that. :smh:

I pop in here every few days, to see people still posting stories suggesting that Ukraine is somehow “winning” this war. LOL.

The war is lost. Biden made one of the biggest political blunders in modern history, China is now emboldened and threatening to shoot down Pelosis plane, Russia is now seen once again as a superpower, and the world economy is fucked.

All because we chose to listen to a liar like Zelensky, and believe Twitter memes over hundreds of years of military history.

The only way we’d be in a worse position is if Ukraine actually WAS winning. If that was happening (and it’s not), we’d be staring square in the face of a nuclear war that would end humanity.

:lol:
