Demanding genocide and literally cutting the ears off puppies on video.
This is from a frontline russian military unit.
The sort of thing Trump supporters are helping out right now.

You have to be bloody brave to stand up to Putin in Russia. It’s a shame he’s dead.

More north Korean supplies have been used against Ukraine.
North Korea and the Republicans joining forces to help out Putin over this winter has been extra shitty.

American who served in Avdiivka - well worth a read. Both he and a russian source say that russian casualties were higher taking Avdiivka than Bakhmut.
Prigozhin said that 25,000 Wagners died taking Bakhmut.
The better news from the yank was that early days they were killing 20+ Russians for every defender. I doubt the results were that good for the whole battle once the first defences fell and the Republicans blocked ammo resupply.

Needs verifying but I know russia has done this in other towns. This is what republicans are supporting.
The West could stop this for just a tenth of our defence budgets FFS.
It's the best defence investment we could possibly hope for since a defeated russia would be far cheaper to contain in future.

Russia has built up huge forces and is launching a new offensive in the south.
But these forces are using 1950s tanks to assault with.
Russia is all about trying to look strong so people give up. They're taking advantage of the window they've been given by North Korea and Republicans, before the F-16s and bigger batches of European shells start arriving later this year.

Denmark showing how it's done!
There's some confusion but seems they're transferring all their current artillery to Ukraine where it's needed now.
They already sent their mobile guns iirc.

Latest on Swedish News text-tv today Mon 19 feb
Spokesperson from our Swedish Defence says the support to Ukraine has cost us more than expected. The idea was from the beginning to ship material to Ukraine (weapons etc) and then replace what we've shipped away, but the replacement hasn't taken place. It will weaken our capacity to defend ourselves to upcoming threats, for example vs Russia.
It means, the focus will be on building a defence against Russia from now on and not supporting Ukraine.

Seems shortsighted on both ends. First, why leave the country vulnerable (why not have reserves?). Second, surely the best way to stop Russian aggression is to stop them in Ukraine? If they take one country, they’ll look to take another. If they lose in Ukraine, I don’t see them doing that.

Not long ago (well, a couple of years) someone said we have the worst food reserve in Europe. As far as I know, Swedish military believe Finland and Sweden is next. Not any Baltic states.

Russian air defence is stretched right now, they're covering Ukraine plus inside Russia they're committed to Putin's palaces, oil refineries, military factories, airbases etc. So right now if Russia could scrap together a spare army to send into Finland or Sweden, they'd get flattened by the hundreds of modern jets the Nordics can spare. The only way this gets far bloodier and more expensive is if we don't send enough aid to Ukraine.

The situation is really bad right now, MAGA Republicans must be spaffing their pants at how they've contributed to so many Ukrainians being murdered.
There's a full-scale Russian offensive. The big targets to look for are: Kupyansk, Lyman, Yampil, Siversk, Chasiv Yar. If any of those fall then the russians will probably consider it a success.
I don't have much hope for the southern area Ukraine liberated in summer, russia has lots of units there, possibly 40k+ troops ready to go. Wouldn't surprise me if Ukraine gets rolled back to its starting point, it would be very bad if they lose more than that.
As I said all along, Putin knows he can't win so long as Ukrainians stand and if Western support ramps up as expected/hoped in 2025. He's throwing in everything to try and cause a break now, and to try and persuade westerners that russia can't be beaten. It's a bluff, because he knows he can't win against strong western support.

Russia recently posted photos of dead Ukrainian soldiers in a defence post in Avdiivka. It turns out they were injured Ukrainian soldiers left behind, the Ukrainians say they negotiated surrender of a position in exchange for Russia giving medical care to the ones left behind. Russians got in and just killed them. That's what happens when you negotiate a deal with Russia. They're sick evil liars and we need to send more weapons asap to stop them. E.g. news source, the photos are all over russian channels.

At least one russian Su-35 jet has been shot down over last few days.
Ukraine claims more kills, including several Su-34 bombers.
The evidence so far only confirms one Su-35 and suggests a decent chance of a second though. Both sides have often reported killing jets that actually survived.

Now our intelligence service say they're convinced it's a matter of time before they are along our coastline positioning weapons just because they can, not only at Finland which has been sighted already. During glimpses of hope I think the papers and TV (in particular) try to impress us with nasty headlines - just as during the Covid-19 pandemic peak, even though I've never neglected or underestimated the pandemic threat, the headline were sometimes sensational just to get attention. I'm only referring to what's been written - mostly on text-tv, which is the news format I follow the most.

This is supposedly the tail of a jet and rescue helicopters looking for pilots, of a fighter that Ukraine says they shot down.
I don't recognise the video but there's no proof of when it was filmed, and the "jet wreckage" seems like it could be anything?
I'm skeptical but hopeful.

Now I'm getting what he's on about. 🧑🦰 The U.S. have spent the last 80 years telling the World that they are its leader. The leader of the free world comes with responsibilities and some of them are financial. The 27 countries in the EU have an economy about 70% of the size of the U.S. The US also loves to spend its money on guns and armies. It makes the country feel strong and it loves having bases all around Europe. So yes, it does spend a lot of money on defence. It does so because it also loves to be “No.1”.

So it isn't 70% of what USA have spent? Unfortunately, it sounded like they/he gives a shit about us. But I think from that short clip on TV he meant he wanted us to spend 2% of our defence budget. He talked in relative terms.

Morning News
Sweden's government do a turnaround and now present the biggest contribution to Ukraine so far worth 7.1 Billion SEK. The biggest sum before was 6.3 Billion SEK, containing Leopard tanks and Archer artillery system. We've given a total support of approx 22 Billion yet. I don't know if they include today's presented contribution then.

The U.S. is the cornerstone of NATO’s military. It’s true. However, if the other members spent more, they’d need the U.S. less. That means less favorable terms because they can get better deals from China and India etc. The US placed itself as head of the world after WW2. Trump just thinks (stupidly) that he can have his cake and eat it too.

Now I'm getting what he's on about. 🧑🦰 Trump is a liar who is lying to try and help a genocidal dictator kill more Ukrainians. It's evil. The US is 30th for aid as a percentage of GDP sent to Ukraine, the ones ahead were European NATO members and Sweden ( source). Of US $75 billion budgeted to send to Ukraine, about a third largely buys new for the US army so old stuff could go to Ukraine. The Abrams, Bradleys, Strykers, MRAPs, DPICMS were either in storage or the US was gonna pay to scrap them. Europeans are sending more money than the US too. Source. Trump's lying.
