Nice to hear from you again SL. Many years since CSO clan days  Shocked
I coded one of your RSR maps for that Russian guy (forget his name  Embarassed ) that was my start.
I made lots of maps but only 1 - Malmedy - made it to release in CCWAR.
I credit you with inspiration and lots of help, I was always astounded by your output in those days.
I would make one map and you'd show up with a full 44 set! - Legend!

There are some very detailed maps of the battles produced by a twitter user JominW.
Here is a recent example. To find them google his name and go to images tab. To save them you need a twitter account or save image from google search.

As I said the level of detail is high, including unit names so I certain they arent 100% accurate but give a good visual of the battles.

They are obviously written from a Ukraine point of view.

Operation Desert Storm was the 1991 response to the invasion of Kuwait by the aggressor Iraq. You are trying to justify an invasion of Ukraine by pointing out a retaliation to an invasion Rolling Eyes

The Battle of Kyiv has been won by the Ukrainian army. The Russian army has retreated after great losses.

Not you personally, but Russia, specifically the Russian government. I mentioned it in an earlier post but I can clarify again.

Hospital is a questionable part. Take a look at Euronews video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oRMwoyM2Og

1. First 3 seconds: no damages on adjoined buildings. BTW, looks like hospital have place inside a cluster of multistore buildings. Pilots of FBs should be the aces, and did a dangerous dive to hit ONLY hospital.
2. The building looks severe damaged. But saved ones looks clean, with clean clothes and faces. Compare with shots from 9/11...
3. What the man on 0:12 f**** do? What is that shit? Why the bandage green? It it a proper way for handling wounded to head? Why he lookin into camera, not to victim receiving treatment?
4. We seen cars around burning, but no flames in building. Same on other video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oRMwoyM2Og . I can also see no shrapnel effects on walls.
5. 0:50 The damaged building lacks windows at all. But next building have all windows intact. How quick in ukrainian glaziers...

Just for fun: today confirmed involvement of volunteers from Syria


I have watched the videos and I disagree with your assessment.

BUT, here's the point - you are still fighting an information war like its 2016. The tactic is to repeatedly undermine ALL media until your target's head is spinning so much they get confused.
It worked with Cambridge in 2016, but only because people were unaware. This time its different, why? Because no one is listening to Russian gov propaganda anymore, except Syria, even China is sniffing the wind and sitting on the fence.
People are more media savvy, one false report does not invalidate 100 others. We understand the shortcomings of commercial media.

Russia has already lost the information war, they undermined themselves with repeated blatant lies over too long a time period. Now, like their army, they have been exposed as Paper Tigers.
No one in the West even bothered to check this time, they're all simply bailing out of the free-falling Russian economy.

The US government is one step ahead of yours, they announce what false flag will be used next 2 days in advance!

Now you're all just yelling at clouds.

Russia has violated cease fires just as they did in Syria to re-group and re-arm then resumed shelling of civilians trying to flee Maripol and other cities under intense siege.  There are many videos by foreign media of this.

Just like with Syria, wonderfulness of videos is a director`s cut. Just cut the previous 15 min to show what you want. Works for both sides although.


And just like predicted, you have resorted to simply questioning all evidence as fake, never offering any proof, I guess it is easier than answering questions that are uncomfortable ....  Rolling Eyes

Remember the Russian government way - ALL VIDEOS ARE FAKE, ALL PHOTOS ARE NOT REAL, DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR OWN EYES, ONLY RUSSIAN NEWS IS REAL! ONLY WE KNOW THE TRUTH EVERYTHING ELSE IS LIES!

But you ignore a big difference - the error has been pointed out by many news outlets and fact checkers, including the Ukraine military itself- this is no secret, there is no gotcha!

Where is the Russian truth or apology for the lies told about the Kursk, Chernobyl or Buynaksk bombings?

Nice try at a diversion though  Rolling Eyes

Back in the Soviet days it was called the "Nyet" defense - ie no matter what the West, governments or media say, simply respond "Nyet"
In Western culture we question our media and government constantly, this gives totalitarian states an edge as they assume they can cast doubt on any facts and undermine them.

Example 1) - West "The Serbs launched a mortar into the Sarajevo market killing 68 people"  Russian "NYET they blew themselves up to make us look bad"
Example 2) - West "The Russian separatists shot down MH17 with a BUK missile"   Russian "NYET the Ukrainian air force shot it down"
Example 3) - West "There is a problem with your nuclear reactor"  Russian "NYET your instruments are wrong"
Example 4) - West "Are you planning to invade Ukraine"  Russian "NYET it is fake media propaganda"
Need I go on? There are literally hundreds of examples of Russian lying...........

As we see if you are shameless enough like a totalitarian dictator with no repercussions you can simply lie like a Soviet or a Republican president!  - if one lie gets disproven simply double down and make up another!

This is not some Aunties Facebook group. Many of us have read 1984, Gulag Archipelago, Mein Kampf. There are many members older and wiser than yourself and myself who deserve more respect than a simple NYET, we have been listening to that bullshit vranyo since Brezhnev's days.

nb - when I say Russian in this post I mean Russian / Soviet governments and their agents.

I really didn't think it would be a full invasion. I expected a limited operation to take another slice of Ukraine.

Putin is crazy to think this will work for Russia in 2022, his main ally Trump is gone and Nato would mop the floor with Russian troops if they were sent in.
But then men like Putin dont really care about little things like that do they? When their decisions dont work out they simply blame others right?

Also, its only day 3. Historically campaigns of this size play out over many weeks and months. I feel it will be a long painful year for the Ukrainian people  Crying or Very sad


Russia still seems to be holding back core invasion forces in reserve.  Either they want to rotate in fresh troops or waiting before the real invasion.  Need to wait for civilians to finish evacuations to clear more space.  Huge lines at Polish border.  Ukraine forces exposing their positions vs Russian sacrificial lamb slaughter.  Then Russia will bring in the real invasion later and seal western border from Poland.  Casualty counts still not verified.

No Trump unfortunately is NOT gone.  I was hoping Putin can pick him up and take back to Russia in exile.  USA still under threat of Trump Coup and another medieval style siege of our capital.  He is firmly under control of the opposition party still and just gave praise to Putin over the weekend as "genius".


I agree. Many news outlets are calling this way too soon. While it is encouraging to see Ukrainian strong opposition this is a long way from over. Surely, SURELY, Russian military has a plan B now the Kyiv has not fallen after 3 days.  

Also some good news, Trumpf is VERY quiet after his typically ill thought out day 1 comments, he must be SHITTING his enormous shorts now that his master Vlad is persona non grata world wide. He is is SERIOUS danger of losing his cash source with increased sanctions taking effect.

As for the Russian military, they still have their old problem of being made up of Russian soldiers  Rolling Eyes
