Sore, pet?

Tsk. People who lose their tempers and resort to infantile insult rarely find they have in any way convinced the people they are rude to of anything except that they are rude and rather silly.

Being such a prat really doesn't get you anywhere.

"Liebig". Interesting choice of name there ;)

@MissConductUS and @notimagain

The UK’s Ministry of Defence said that the aviation group, referred to as β€œShtorm,” will likely consist of at least one unit of Su-24 FENCER and Su-34 FULLBACK fighter-bombers and a unit of attack helicopters.

Could you maybe make a guess at how many aircraft in a 'unit'? how many are we talking here?

The Kherson Region is under heavy bombing again :( and the rumours about the Russian plane that was shot down are getting stronger.

It's German and related to a famous ecologist (no, not a family relation). You know, the country that surpasses the UK in almost every way, judging by how many people go on about how amazing the EU is. Must suck to be British. But I digress.

You're welcome to be amongst my kind.

By the way, the people crowing on about the Belgorod incursion might be interested to know that the unit is literally Nazy sympathisers.

The KONR was formed in '44 by literal Nazis.

Suck to be British? I fear you are losing the plot here. Back up a few posts and I may have been prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Deep breaths. You would be more credible if you sounded less unhinged.

You know, that post is sheer desperation.

1944, they were Nazis? Let's see, that'd be ohhhhh 79 years ago?

You do realise you're sounding really like you're pushing the Russian line here, who keep going on about vanishingly small Nazism in Ukraine? That there are far more Nazis and infinitely more fascists in Russia?

definitely slipping, pet.

No, just posting about the historical roots of the forces currently having fun in Belgorod. Feel free to go join the OSINT discussion on this at Project Owl (I'm a member).

Unless you think that's too pro-Russia or something, lol.

By the way, you'll be enlightened to know that in the distant past where Ukraine, Estonia and some others did indeed cooperate with Nazis, it's because they had direct experience of living under Russian rule and, unnerving as it is, Nazi-ism was better.

A history they have long repudiated. Only the Russia supporters keep bringing it up.

Liebig · 22/05/2023 22:28

Aside from that, it's pretty funny seeing Russia's armed forces being incapable of routing these units despite being within the border region. They must be spread so thin that there's literally no buffer to deal with such an unexpected event, especially as the VKS uses that region as a flight corridor to strike at the front.

Cool, Nazi apologetics. That's pretty bad, dude.

"Uh, well actually, Hitler was better than Stalin, so it's fine."

'Sore, pet' must have struck a nerve. Not really. Not native to UK or Europe, more Global South in origin. Grin but universal values ... don't forget values.

Ah, one of those people. I hear the UK really doesn't like your sort. Me? I get the "one World Cup, two world wars" schtick which, believe me, never gets old.

Russian Sources have now stated that it appears 2 Ukrainian Drones dropped Explosives on the FSB and Interior Ministry Buildings in Belgorod causing a Small Fire which was contained by Fire Crews while only managing to cause Minor Damage to the 2 Buildings.

I've been struck by just how few Brits are actually on these threads. People have been posting from around the world, but just so you know, I'm British (Welsh), and incredibly proud to be. I'm not impressed by the shit show that is our current government, but they are transient, forgotten in the blink of an eye.
The British people are amazing.

Liebig · 22/05/2023 22:39

It's going to be interesting seeing how Moscow deals with this. They're losing face quite badly if they can't get a handle on something within their own borders and not even because of UAF units, but homegrown ones.

And anything that fucks the FSB gets a thumbs up.
