Ukraine war latest
Latest map of Ukraine showing places attacked by Russia
There’s a lot going on in Ukraine, so add a comment with a link to the latest when you come across it. Aside from the possible air ace I posted about earlier, the above image comes from this tweet;
Updated map of airstrikes and military attacks against Ukraine from 8:45 a.m. local time.

A small Ukrainian military outpost on an island in the Black Sea near the border with Moldova went down fighting. Word is that all 13 men defending the island died when the Russians attacked them. They did this after making an epic, recorded last message to the Russians.
Audio from Snake Island, Black Sea:
Russians: This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you’ll be bombed.
Ukrainians: Russian warship, go fuck yourself.
They were all killed… pic.twitter.com/xasH93l9Ip

And there’s a report that Biden may order our Border Patrol agents to POLAND to “assist” those fleeing the war in Ukraine. I find it hard to believe this is true, but Brandon has a tendency to do the absolute dumbest things imaginable.
I feel bad for Ukraine
That’s all I can say
Next Taiwan
I don’t have enough popcorn for this
Or beer
Yob tvoyu maht, Rus!
Your mother wouldn’t approve of such language.
But your father might, given the situation. (smile)
Mom spoke some Russian. Childhood neighbor taught her. (Grin)
“Democratic socialism” inbound!
I thought the Border Patrol was busy assisiting refugees
fleeing Mexico.
CBP is having high speed chases here daily. It’s escalating.
Holdomor 2.0
😥 😢 😥 😥
With tears, I applaud The Last Great act of Defiance of our Brothers-in-arms in the Ukraine.
Agreed.

That doesn’t sound right. Normally the Navy assists with customs with other nations, sometimes the CG. But if they have the Southern Border on lock down, than sure why not?
There’s no effective southern border at the moment.
It seems to be functioning exactly as the Democrats intended with unlimited immigration and open borders. Surprised you all did t cover the SECDHS visit. It wasn’t at all ironic.
It’s functioning so well that D’s Cantina is at an elevated level of weapons readiness.
While looking for something else I came across a very interesting tidbit.
Jose Biden, in 2017, was made a Member of the Order of Liberty in Ukraine. It’s the second highest national honor behind Hero of Ukraine). The order is to “honour special merits of citizens for strengthening the Sovereignty and Independence of Ukraine.”
Oh how ironic.
Edit: fixing a grammatical error, but I’m leaving “Jose Biden” as is. 😆
Musta been a payoff in addition to all that graft $$$$$ paid to Hunter by Burisma. 2017 was before Zelensky was elected.
I’m sure the irony isn’t lost on some Ukrainians.
Joe probably doesn’t remember the award, and those that do aren’t telling him.
It’s what happens when you give the “Big Guy” only 10%…
NATO sat back and watched this military buildup for months. Every sanction and response has been factored in by Putin. You have not heard ONE country say they are going to sanction Belarus for the part they are playing in this.
Ukraine in early spring, the Baltics in the Summer. Who has the nerve or the stones to stop any of it?
Google how much Russian oil we have imported in the last year, and for the first time in 30 years, Iranian oil. Not even a peep from the Leftmedia about that.
We financed this war, while putting Americans out of work.
No clue what happens next, but this has made me think about Trump’s attempts to reinvigorate European defense commitments to NATO.
How long has our IC held the assessment that a Russian move against Ukraine was coming?
Also, when did the Western IC first warn the White House?
Has this been briefed to the White House since 2014 (as I suspect) and Biden literally ignored the warnings? It appears so, but why? Also, why was Biden’s first priority upon inauguration to cut petroleum production in the US? This had the effect not just of hurting the US, but materially benefitting Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
The Neoliberal globalist elites have been looting Ukraine for more than a couple of days here. This may be bigger than we know.
On the other hand, it could be as simple as Putin was just waiting on a moron to be President of the US. idk…
Spot on SarMaj. I think that all of them bastards are in cahoots with one another…and that they were only delayed in their plans for this by the election of Trump in ’16. We have to remember whose “turn” it was then.
What we are seeing in Ukraine now, may become a harbinger of what We, The People may be facing. It’s too bad that our politicians aren’t as concerned about OUR border as they are Ukraine’s. Sad that the citizens of Ukraine are being used as political cannon fodder for despots…on BOTH sides.
“The Neoliberal globalist elites have been looting Ukraine for more than a couple of days here” and should have their heads on pikes lining the roads around DC….metaphorically, in minecraft.
#TeamHeadsOnPikes is a heck of a meme, eh?
The best part is Blinken said yesterday that we will continue to buy Russian gas and oil, because they don’t want gas prices to go even higher. UFB
I wonder how much money they bribed the Biden family with to keep it that way?
What I find shocking is that we have our intel on what Vlad was doing around Ukraine with his forces to China when asking them to help deter Putin, and instead China gave our intel and assessments to Putin. But hey, that’s not treasonous like that 1/6 protest rally in DC.
Canada is calling for sanctions against Belarus.
They have sent in troops to the Ukraine with Russia
and a few others too
We financed this war, while putting Americans out of work.Why not, American drug users financed the cartels, Taliban, and all those Chinese fentanyl suppliers.
Just read on the Fox News page that the Russians have brought along mobile crematorium units that evaporate the bodies of their dead. Cold hearted.
Damn, Yep. but I thought they would be WINNING!!!!!???
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=russia+mobile+crematorium+units+&t=h_&ia=web
Gotta hide the #
Cold hearted? Yup, but it sure does keep your KIA numbers manageable…
Vlad doesn’t want too many coffins coming back to the motherland.
No more pesky mass graves
Just piles of ashes.
Blowin in the wind.
The Russians have learned the hard way that war is a hard, messy business requiring pragmatism. They prepare for a battlefield with many bodies; friendly, enemy, and civilian. And don’t forget dead animals. Aside from the need to prevent disease, they don’t live in a fantasyland where they think they have the resources to give every body an individual escort and a plane flight home and families are notified by a team. If, God forbid, we ever get into another real war with lots of casualties we will do the same.
About that: “This falls into the category of absolutely fake. This is a promotion film for a Kazakstan company which in 2011 launched a mobile incinerator for biowaste. Its purpose was to support multiple city facilities. It actually flopped.” -Commenter on this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-UgMQUE7KQ
Also, show me the difference between a crematorium and a chemical weapons incinerator and you’ll earn yourself a cigar of your choice.
I need a ruling on the field about the Orthodox Church and their standing on cremation.
My understanding is that, while individual Orthodox Christians can opt to be cremated, the official position of the church is against cremation.
looks like Chechnya is accepting the challenge, troops on the way.

I wonder what would happen if there were a nerve gas attack? They’d never be able to put their protective masks on fast enough (assuming they have any), or get a good seal with all that beard and those face diapers in the way.
Would they twitch on the ground like spastic insects?
10000 more targets for Ukraine?
They might change side’s, no love for Russia
I had the same feeling. Those dudes are no joke either.

Snake Island is near Romania, not Moldova.
And the Meme Wars have started as well…
Well, at least somebody is taking on Russia on Ukraine’s behalf:
Hacking collective Anonymous appears to declare war on Putin after Russia invades Ukraine | Fox News
Here’s and article saying that 6 out of 10 D-rats place a higher priority on Ukraine’s Border versus ours”
Six-in-10 Democrats: Defending Ukraine border tops US border | Washington Examiner
They know there is not a damn thing they can do in regard to Ukraine’s border. Fake wailing and gnashing of teeth for show.
And with an impotent Eunuch in the White House.
Since the dotmil is begging for bodies the standards are prob low enough for swaths of them to enlist.
Fk real work, I’m buying a donut truck so I can sell ’em fat pills and hormone-blockers at MEPS and/or the Recruiting Station. If they spend 100 Bidenbux i’ll throw in koolaid for zim/zer/they’s hair.
Can’t feel an earthquake yet, clearly we need to get the word out.
Pass out some pot so they end up failing the drug test?
Putin just might be biting off a bit more than he can chew:
Russia now threatens Sweden, Finland – are they next? | American Military News
The Finns lost their wars with Russia but in the process they gave the Bear one helluva bloody nose, inflicting more than a million total casualties on the Soviet forces.
Putin will cut the undersea data lines on them.

Not necessarily. Putin is unfortunately no idiot. He knows how far he can push both rhetoric and military invasion.
Russia has a million soldiers near Finland.
In graves.
So easy even a idiot can do it
https://apple.news/Ali9uKf9JQBmlkIq3F8eY2g
Putin wanted Russia to know him as Vladimir the Great, and his enemies as Vladimir the Terrible.
Well he is working down to Vladdi the Baddi.
I and eventually he will be merely Vlad the Mad.

SAPPERS FOWARD!
As Russian, unfortunately I have to say Biden and for the most part politicians in US do not understand the culture and the nature of politics and politicians in Russia. Vladimir Putin is tyrant, however half of the population (Russian conservatives, mostly older adults who was born in Soviet Time) support him. – While being the tyrant and crazy person he is, he still managed to raise Russian economy in early 2000s out of complete despair. The other half does not support him. US cannot appeal to the russian people, where the media is government controlled and naysayers are suppressed and cast out with ease. There is total monopoly of power by United Russia (Putin’s political party). So, such forceful statements of Putin. – The overt threats, use of force, and bullying cannot be answered with simple sanctions. There is need for military action, which is unfortunately after so many wars US have no stomach for. This is really bad course of action both politically and georgaphically.
So much fake and ghey psyop from this ‘war’. The island, ghost, and ‘intentionally runned over driver’ stories… I ain’t buying them.
btws, power is still on in Keeeeeevvv
I noticed the guy in the car run over by the tank was wearing a mask. Too damn funny.
He survived, didn’t he? Masks work!
“We will push these bastards from our land”. Quote from one of the many thousands of Ukranian Citizens enlisting in their Armed Forces.

Hard eye roll:
He is not a disinterested person, given the level of corruption that has taken place in UKR, he might be guilt af.
Also NPR is an enemy of America.
Word! Again, as stated many times. Tuth is the FIRST (ht 2 Chip) casualty of war.
Again, Ukraine is one of the least corrupt countries in the world. Much better ranked than almost all of Europe.
Myne eyes and brain-housing group suggest otherwise.
But nice Christians In Action talking point, bucko. I’ll make sure to file it between ‘sha’ and ‘right’.
You might want to recheck that, 5JC – or at least cite your source. Because that’s exactly the opposite of what transparency.org’s 2021 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) says. Their 2021 CPI lists Ukraine as ranking 122 in the world (1 is least corrupt, 180 is most corrupt) in terms of corruption.
Precisely one European nation is listed on the 2021 CPI as being more corrupt: Russia (world ranking, 136).
https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2021
What a fuckin mess.
But at least we don’t have to read mean tweets.
Why are my comments waiting for approval?
What did I do now?
[Mod comment:] You’re missing a letter in your E-mail address, brother. 🙂 -Mason
The most corrupt country is going to trigger WW3.
Exactly
Just to be clear are you talking about Russia (Ranked 5), Iraq (#1) or the Ukraine (#117), 2nd lowest in Europe.
See above – you might want to re-check your source, since I’ve found exactly the opposite in publicly-available and Internet-accessible data.
In addition to the above-cited source, this link to a different source for corruption ranking by nation says very much the same thing as transparency.org’s 2021 CPI:
https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/corruption-rank
Even there the Ukraine is still ranked higher than Russia.
D.C is higher that Russia. (barely)
My issue wasn’t with your assertion that the Ukraine is less corrupt than Russia. I’ve seen Russia referred to as a “kleptocracy”; that’s near-universally thought to be a fairly accurate description of Russia’s institutional corruption.
My issue was with your assertion that Ukraine is “one of the least corrupt countries in the world”. What I’ve found says that’s not even remotely close to true. Rather, the Ukraine appears to be regarded as the second most institutionally corrupt nation in Europe and appears – along with Russia – to be part of the group of nations comprising roughly the most corrupt 1/3 of nations in the entire world.
Russia should have this wrapped up here in a few days
I don’t know. They might get bogged down.
With no clear OBJ, its hard to tell.
Blitzkrieg is one thing. Patrolling and controlling for an extended amount of time is another.
My guess, despite simplistic views that Putin is just some bully trying to reconstitute the USSR, is that he’s shifted from threats as a deterrent to NATO and westernization in Eastern Europe to blatant preemption. I think he wants an undivided area of control across the northern shore of the Black Sea, possibly all the way into Moldova, and a strong feeling that NATO won’t be willing to risk adding the remaining Ukraine or Finland, before he’s willing to limit the aggression.
OK, ya gotta respect a guy who says, “I need ammunition, not a ride” when a evac is offered.

He is no Ashraf Ghani that is for sure.
Are you mocking our valiant brothers-in-arms who fought tooth and nail against overwhelming odds until the last bullet, whom we owe so much to for their translating skills?
The Ukraine is claiming 3500 Russian soldiers KIA so far. If true this would be stunning. Most combat operations are decided with fewer than 10% casualties. A lot of pictures of dead Russians and destroyed vehicles are showing up in European media.

Here’s some very interesting information from Power Line that is supposedly based on intel obtained from an Estonian member of the European Parliament who is the former Commander of Estonian Defense Forces. He claims intel sources inside the Russian government are reporting that Putin has botched the invasion and that the Russians lack the logistics tail for a sustained fight:
Has Putin Botched the War? | Power Line
(powerlineblog.com)
Here’s the general reporting this:
Riho Terras – Wikipedia
While ol’ Poe is posting news favorable to Ukraine, Sundance over at theconservativetreehouse.com, considered to be a very reliable conservative source, has posted a warning that we must be careful that we don’t get played by the UN, the US State Department and the Ukrainian government, all of whom have unleashed a full-blown propaganda effort:
“Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community. The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.”
The First Casualty of War Is the Truth – The Current Western Propaganda for Ukraine Is Epic in Scale – The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)
I was sympathetic long before the war started. It has more to do with Ukrainians I know personally and those I know of and respect such as the Klitchkos. Any man that has 90 million dollars doesn’t have to stay on the lines and fight.
I also never trusted Putin and his idiotic empire building. Inflicting death and suffering on an entire people out of sheer ego and hubris is a crime worthy of eternal damnation.
Somebody exceeding their fuel lines!
Logistics’ are for capitalist!
Never underestimate Joes ability to fuck things up so bad he brings us to the brink of WWIII.
Fiery but mostly peaceful global thermonuclear exchange.
Hi. Hope you don’t mind me joining the discussion. Was told to come here and welcomed a while back when I wanted factual discussion in other foreign affairs. I was told I could find real answers here.
Do you agree with what this states https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56720589 the reason for invading, it seems the bottom line is, it’s just Putin’s paranoia. Do I understand that correctly? Or is there much more to this?
Are we really going to sit idly by and watch Russia take over Ukraine, or do they actually have a fighting chance? I am uncertain how true it is, but it appears Ukraine is ripe with raw materials and, so, shouldn’t we (the world) be more concerned with Russia gaining control of this? Is there more to the story?
Would anyone like to help me understand what/why? Not some MSM bs.
I just can’t anymore… when is this nightmare going to end. #letsgobrandon
Welcome Back Home. We enjoy having Adorable Deplorables join the discussions. We also try to deal in “Just the facts, Ma’am”. Not saying we get it right all the time, because there is a lot of disinformation and propaganda out there. Was hoping one of our more Senior Miscreants would chime in FIRST, but looks like you are stuck with me.
Most of us wore the uniform and stood against despots. “Specially Communists despots. The article seems to be factual from what else I’ve read. We do know this; Putin is a despotic, power hungry, former KGB Operator that would love to put the USSR back together. Look at the map to what it used to be and what it is now. And typical Socialist playbook, accuse the other side of something heinous (read modern US demonrat party). The “elite” of this blue marble are steady reaching for their “New World Order”, biggest question is which ones will end up in charge? One thing this war has done, it’s shut down the Covid Talk.
Power grab or Biblical?
Thanks KoB. Nice to have a home to return to. From what I’ve been reading and seeing it may just be a little of both, or maybe it is one in the same – power and Biblical… time will tell I suppose.
He wants his version of Lebensraum. In the German’s case it was the belief that they were entitled to most of Europe as their “living space” (literal translation). Putin wants a series of buffer states between him and the EU/NATO, in particular NATO.
The bigger buffer he has, the further away any missiles would have to be stationed.
Thank you Mason. This makes a lot of sense. Paranoid as well as narcissistic. Egoism at it’s finest. I wonder if he’ll share another topless picture of himself riding into Kiev or better on the shore in Odessa.
Welcome aboard Civilian She. Plenty of good seats left.
You may not get complete answers to everything here but
you will not be lied to ad nauseum. Well, maybe from one or
two well known knats but they will become obvious.
Thank you 26Limabeans. Appreciate the welcome. 🙂 I lurk occasionally, so I’ve seen one or two, but the majority are stand-up, as in any crowd.
Just in… The guys on Snake Island (at least some of ’em, anyway) are alive and in Russian custody:
