Russia invades Ukraine

No inside info…it’s just that authoritarians can’t maintain power by themselves and fear only gets you so far. If anything, pretty much every Russian oligarch is going to be very upset come tomorrow.

Yes, it makes sense if they have MiG-29 pilots, to let them fly theirs. They are good aircraft, though the avionics and weapons aren’t as up to date.

This is similar to the RAF having a Squadron of Polish pilots during WWII.

I think so, but they probably don’t care and just want to get out in one piece.

They were in tent cites for what, a month or so before this? Doing various drills? They probably had some civilian clothes for down time.

Also, possible new Chuck Tingle book idea?

I have a lot of family who were in the military.

It’s not common to have civilian cloths at all in that sort of context. None the less bring an overnight bag with your jammies on an assault.

But part and parcel of this is discipline and control doesn’t seem to be the Russian military’s strong suit. Apparently their fuel shortage is in part down to soldiers stealing and selling gas before they invaded.

So who knows. Their whole military seems to be a top to bottom shambles.

even if putin manages to sieze the ukranian government, russia’s not going to come out ahead. it’s going to be hard going for russian citizens for the foreseeable future id imagine.

Dropping charges is how you sink a submarine, not a megayacht.

That picture… Putin is like 5’7” to Trump’s 6’2”, yet Trump looks even smaller than Putin there. How pathetic.

And show the whole world that Ukrainians are some bad motherfuckers.

He won’t feel a thing. He’s three sheets to the wind.

Probably because all evidence points to Trump not being 6’ 2". Here he is standing straight next to a leaning/slouching 6’3 Alex Rodriguez

ETA: There are unconfirmed reports of lifts as well

Unconfirmed, but ferchrissakes look at his posture. He leans so far forward it’s like he’s ready to start the 100m dash.

Yeah I don’t believe those “official” numbers either, but he’s clearly taller than 5’7”.
