That area was cleansed before filming unless crews abandoned units before impact of heavy weapons.
In an attack on those Units? Bodies pretty much turn into mush but there is always a leg or something left. I'd be inclined to think the Crews Cut and Ran like hell for safer areas. I see no evidence they tried to turn the vehicles out of that kill zone. I'd bet they saw what happened to Saddam's stuff and decided "I'm freaking outta here!" |

Well yes, but I would imagine they were flung far away.. The ones that didn't take building kit form, that is. Censor.net has published a lot of pictures of burned out trucks and armor with charred bodies in Pompeii positions.
A Bayraktar drone caused this russian mess on the 24th. Cannot imagine much was left of those soldiers. https://t.me/oleksiihoncharenko/10698 Last edited by Andreas86; 02-27-22 at 02:31 PM. |

Re "in response" what do you expect the rest of the world will now do in response to Putin activating its nuclear "response"? Putin's "response" almost sounds like his "peace keeping forces" invading Ukraine, so no one will misunderstand it now. He has been heard, but maybe he will regret it.

It's not fun seeing the results in person.
I have first hand visual experience in that. I really don't care to see images on any site. I live with images in my head of the persons I killed. |

I doubt those have "Do not enter the oven" warning stickers!
I also doubt the 'easy bake ovens' were close behind a destroyed convoy. |

Maybe. But on a logistical level? It does make a lot of sense.
No more burial details and easier to ship the ashes home. Not exactly what us Westerners would do what with 'No one left behind'. But War is hell. |

They explained on TV that as far as NATO knows the Russians have a four stage scheme for activating their nuclear weapons, and are now on level 2 of four.
I believe - I dont know, I simply speculate - that this is something in the range of the US DEFCON scale being somewhere around 4, maybe 3. Its also quite common for the big players that they have their nuclear readiness checked when they have conflicts somewhere. I would not be surprised if someobdy tells me that during the Iraq wars the Americnans were at DEFCON 4 also, at least at critical times. Also keep on mind that on isolated nuclear platforms, namely SLBMs, you practically always have special circumstances and an inherently raised state of "special alert". I think Putin , involuntarily, revealed something here, and that is that the Western reactions make themselves negatively felt for him. We now must stop to buy any oil or gas or coal from him. Or ores. Only then the exclusion from SWIFT can be extended to all Russian banks. when there are no bills we must straighten, then there is no need to pay anything, and the Russian players are not needed anymore and can be kicked out. We should further reward him NATO's medal of merits for services to unify and consolidate NATO, maybe he escalates again and then has his waxen head going Plopp! in anger.

Just some quick take-aways and IMHO:
- The nuclear option has been on the table since 1949. We had a chance of turning it off in the 1990's but everyone opted to just turn it down a notch. -The big take-away about other countries sending arms is that they are getting delivered, somehow. ![]() That means Ukraine still has the infrastructure to move that stuff to the front(s). No one ships arms if they are only going to be displayed in Moscow. -Ukraine is holding tough, for now. Russia wants to hold talks, already. That isn't how "Shock and Awe" is supposed to work. ![]() |
