Tell you what, these Russians do come across as effing stupid people, and I don't just mean the ordinary grunts, but their commanders. Especially their commanders. 

Two things caught my eye today.

Russian troops have pulled out of the Chernobyl exclusion zone after a 'significant' number of troops have come down with radiation sickness after digging trenches in the forests around the nuclear plant. Apparently 7 busloads of seriously ill soldiers have been taken to Belarus for treatment.  I doubt the ordinary grunts even knew where they were or the consequences, but their commanders? 

At about 6am today in Belarus there was a motorway pile up in poor wet conditions when a Russian military convoy stopped on the motorway, and parked up with no lights on or anything warning people of their parked trucks. A civilian Belarussian truck driver died when his truck was the first to hit the convoy with several vehicles piling in after.

You've only got to look at the driving stuff on You Tube to see that Russkies must be the shitiest drivers in the world.

Russian commanders have never needed to be clever,they only need to know how to throw ever more troops into the fight and not care about the losses.

Oh, yes, so very true Baza.

They are still living in the World of the last war (Russian losses in the battle for Berlin 70,000 April/May 1945) and indeed that of WW1 when even the British treated their infantry as 'expendable', to the tune of 20,000 on a single day (1st July 1916 at the First Battle of the Somme)

Interesting facts.
1. Since Russia invaded Ukraine EU member states have given 1 billion euros in assistance to Ukraine.
2. Since Russia invaded Ukraine EU member states  have given Russia 35 billion euros in payment for gas oil and coal.

They have no choice.

Maybe maybe not, but they could give an equal amount to Ukraine.
Or grow a backbone and deliver the weapons they promised but havent delivered.
Spineless shower of shite.

You know how these things work. In a few months the EU and US will be fighting over the contracts to rebuild, and Ukraine will be in debt for the next 50 years.

from what I've seen ,they will need a sh!t load of plate glass

Not true. The Ukranians have little choice. Germany and Austria could grow spines and suffer recession, a bit of cold and a bit of inconvenience. They have had enough years of riding on NATO's back by not spending their 2% agreed commitment. They have done very nicely spending the saving on other things.

Time to ratchet up the sanctions including on any country not applying sanctions ie supporting Putins regime but we had better get used to shortages of basic items.

Calm down, dear, it's only Ukraine.
