Such rules exist and are adhered to by enlarge by liberal democracies that have the rule of law, domestic and international, however the rule of law does not really exist in a dictatorship. There are no policeman in international affairs there is only war and retribution, while trying not to descend to their level. Civilians are suppose to be protected by the laws of war, and if what happened in Bucha, happened elsewhere and it appears to be common in other places under occupation. I cannot mortally or ethically judge such people when they poison Russian troops, while risking their own lives to do it. I have no doubt the Russians came back and were looking for blood. When they break the rules, others will too, there are more than professional soldiers on this battlefield, there are civilians at every level resisting in every way imaginable, some are armed. In time there would have been IDE's, suicide bombers and truck bombs in the Russian areas, with what they were doing to the civilian population.

America made it's enemies it's allies after WW2, the Russians helped a lot with this, as both a carrot and a stick, both in Japan and in Germany. The policy of self determination and free trade was anti colonial and pushed by the States, while supported by the British who wanted to quit the empire. It did much for world peace and to check communist expansion in the cold war, however they also propped up a lot of dictators and strong men that made Vlad seem tame.

Bucha is just a stepping stone now, they're other reports to the east as well, and a couple of more, Irpin is one and another just north....Russia really screwed up now......

The below is a translation of an article published by Russian state media Ria Novosti. It’s been making the rounds today as it rather explicitly calls for the “liquidation” of Ukraine’s political elites and armed forces, and characterizes Russia’s goal of “de-nazification” as akin to “de-Ukrainization”.

Fuck Ria Novosti, Fuck Russia and of course Fuck Putin

It will raise the price of peace, gives Zelenskiy a stronger position and western arms will pour in just as they need them for large offensive operations. They've been preparing the army for it and training new troops for over a month, now they will get the arms, logistical and technical support to go the final mile. People in the west are pissed and will bless anything the governments want to send to Ukraine to kill Russians.

I understand those who did it are beating a hasty retreat after getting beat nearly to death, they nearly broke and ran. I understand from some reports and speculation by experts that the Russians are worse at retreat than advancing, retreat is harder. Ukrainian special forces should be blowing up highway brides to the north, trapping the Russian vehicles at least, the troops can scramble across the remains of the bridge after abandoning their vehicles in panic. Assuming Ukrainians in their rear can press them enough on mined roads they left behind. They might be stupid enough not to destroy their tanks and APCs when they run for the bridge as artillery rains down on their columns, just to motivate them for instance.

The Ukrainians can get even more Russian equipment and supplies, while the Russians march the next 20 or 50 miles of highway getting picked off by anything the Ukrainians can throw at them. Retreating troops in columns on the roads are very vulnerable in a disorganized retreat, they pack up their AA defenses and anti drone stuff and put it on the road too. Helicopters with special forces flying in low to blow bridges is much easier, if they can hit inside Russia with choppers, they can move special forces to within striking distance of bridges. A few switch blade 300hundreds could take care of sentries and machine gun nests guarding it or mortars could too, then they move in and blow up the bridge, or hold it against all comers.

Uk needs to block the main road from Belarus, this would prolly stop any re-entry of Russian troops.....there is a report of 2 coloums in Belarus right now heading down.....they can't use railroad cause revolutionaries in Belarus are detroying the line switches

sounds like a good place for Vbieds, Mining and Artillary to me

If ya go to google earth or Bing and zoom in, there are a ton of streams and rivers crossing the roads north, many are in spring flood now. There are many places to bottle up the Russians, take large amounts of equipment or destroy it, if they don't leave it and run up the road and across the blown or damaged bridge. The experts were saying the Ukrainians will do this, it's a no brainer and they are vulnerable though trying to dig in, it is a large area and they lost a lot down south and got beat up pretty bad. The new troops coming from Belarus are probably replacements for them from the occupation forces and could even include Russian internal security forces. The Russians have had Belarus under defacto occupation for awhile, propping up Lukashenko, the dictator there. The Belarus army wants nothing to do with the war in Ukraine and made it clear on a couple of occasions. The new troops are on the move too moving south and vulnerable to special forces ambushes and IEDs.

the biggest thing is to block all roads in the North and North Eastern arenas, looks most of the fighting is gonna be Kherson area, and East to Donbas, if UK can slice into Mariopol that will block any troops movement east or west...fingers crossed

OAN never went under, they moved to Russia and setup shop there, the low ruble made all the difference! Vlad needs every liar and low life he can get, next he will be calling Donald for advice, seek expert opinion!

The republicans should send him a team of their best operatives, no wonder Paul Manafort was trying to claw his way out of the country last week, Vlad needs a consultant and pays big bucks. Paul is a fixer and Vlad needs one, Paul desperately needs the money, he goes through it like shit through a goose, like Rudy and might have another date with Uncle Sam in court.

That's how I read it, hold the north with reservists from defensive positions. Send the army south first and attack at two points, if forces allow, Kherson down to the entrance of Crimea and a drive into Mariupol. This will two main things, block Vlad's forces from getting back into Crimea and trap his forces between the 300Km between the cites while relieving Mariupol and fortifying the south east. I don't think Vlad has much in Crimea, they probably threw it all into Ukraine, it could be a cake walk. Satellites and drones will say for sure. Blow Vlad's prize bridge over the Kerch straight and Crimea is theirs and reserves can hold it and even mop it up, while they head to the eastern provinces. The east is apparently oil and gas rich and if Ukraine should develop more of it, they could help to supply much of Europe with natural gas. They won't give it or Crimea after this and no one will make them, Vlad can't and we will support them until they eject them from the country and pound Vlad across his borders if he tries missiles strikes or massing troops near the border in Russia. Macron or others with weak knees can't deal away Crimea for peace in Europe anymore, the war crimes make it difficult for him to even talk to Putin.

Belarus officials should be held accountable for war crimes for actively supporting Putin.

Do people actually believe the shit he spouts?

To understand Russians falling for state propaganda, an American doesn't need to look any further than his neighbors and family members. The desperate calls from Ukraine to Russian relatives and their reactions of denial, was hauntingly familiar to many Americans.

Some of the things Uncle Sam mentioned in recent arms supplied to Ukraine went largely unnoticed by the media, but could make the biggest difference in the ground war and especially in offensive operations. The jamming and anti drone equipment being supplied will blind the Russians and take those drones laser designating targets and guiding artillery out of the air for the most part. One other important thing is it can help hide Ukrainian troop movements from the Russians and allow them to use the element of surprise and deception much easier. Sure the Russians have satellite photo's and they know exactly when the limited number can appear above and they are useless on cloudy days and nights.

The Ukrainians could be massing for an attack on Kherson in the south and drive towards Crimea and use reserve forces to make it appear they are driving for Mariupol or the east on satellite images, it would be hard to tell the difference from satellite images, especially when the Ukrainians hid during satellite passes. Surprise is a big factor in war, the Russians may figure they will attack in the south or east, they are not sure where. Since the Ukrainians have very large reserves, they can use them to hold areas already cleared by the army and mop up in the north east and west. This allows the regular army who do the heavy lifting to move on to the next front and overwhelm them there, destroying and capturing as much as they can now, or they will have to do it later.

Since VLAD placed the Krasukha-4 and Krasukha -2 electronic warfare systems into the hands of untrained imbeciles , important intel such as detection and evasion software / electronic data / frequency capabilities / spectrum and such would be a goldmine. In my opinion, those systems would have been spirited away to Rammstein to have a preliminary look . Rammstein has an airbase and Army Air Defense battalion ( my old unit for patriot systems ) then probably shuttled to u.s. for further analysis - I believe this is similar to systems affecting Finland‘s GPS signals.

With the Krasukha in American hands, any attempt by Russia to rebuild its electronic warfare program will have to start from the assumption that secret innovations in the captured system are now known……..

The system is as big a prize as any from a modern battlefield. Electronic warfare is integral to how modern militaries fight, and the specific nature of detecting, jamming, and otherwise thwarting signals can confer a huge advantage to the military deploying it. Ever since Russia first debuted electronic warfare capabilities against Ukraine in 2014, the U.S. military has treated the threat as real, powerful, and worthy of study and imitation.

For those on the receiving end, electronic warfare can mean system failure for necessary equipment. Shortly after Russian electronic warfare equipment arrived in Crimea in 2014, “Ukrainian troops began to find that their radios and phones were unusable for hours at a time,”

Crucial in learning the capabilities of such systems will help counter GPS sensors on drones , cellular interference to causing electronic fuses in artillery to prematurely detonate. By studying sophisticated jammers , we can analyze its sensors to scan the area for signals, match against known patterns, and then calibrate a response, by sending out other signals on the same frequency.

Its a royal fuckup russia’s on part as the U.S. and other friendlies can now study and re-calibrate their systems to counter .

The Geneva Protocols exist for a reason. Some weapons are so based in cruelty that the community of civilized nations has agreed not to use them.

An example is nonmetallic shrapnel. Medics can’t find it by imaging, and must search for it by touch, which means medics with bandaged hands who can’t do surgery any longer.

Chemical weapons are by their nature poisons, and as such they possess a unique and destabilizing wrinkle. Unlike nuclear and bio, they can be targeted on individuals, leaving the man next to the target untouched.

This ambiguity makes chemical weapons the “gateway wmd”. This requires ethical warfighters to consider any use to be over the threshold. A nuking is a legitimate response to someone who deploys any such, imo.

i wasn't talking about armies using chemical weapons on each other, i was talking about civilians poisoning enemy soldiers. i suppose i should have clarified, it might have sounded like i was suggesting using it as a military tactic, and i was not, i was advocating civilians using whatever means they have at hand to destroy their enemies...and i still would feed every russian in Ukraine a big fat rat poison pie
