to regime forces. In Kharkov a Tochka-U system was destroyed by these "defenders". They are basically wild animals on the
loose and do not follow a tight command and control. The shooting inside Kiev is all from gangs settling scores.
The paranoia level is really something. It tells me that there is nascent resistance and the regime loyalists are afraid.
I wonder if sitting on the outskirts of the big cities will be all that is needed. The chaos in the cities generated by the
lunatics and actual criminals cannot be viable state.
Remembering Bosnian war... If 22000 AKs handed out are true, then it will be nearly impossible to get them returned after the war no matter who wins. They will flood EU and Russia. Not good.

Since those assets are in Russia, woopy doo.
On another note, this will further push Russian use of Crypto Currency and any banned banks will use a dual method of crypto and their swift alternative which is already used by multiple countries.

- Russians have taken Melitopol and Tokmak. They are inside these cities
- They have taken the airport of Berdyansk and fighting in the city
- Looks like Sumy is in Russian hands.

I wouldn't mind crypto spreading to national usage, but I am afraid of it's volatility

Hope so.
I know the gold is in Russia but how are the cash reserves organized, I have no clue.

Russia has been rapidly ditching the dollar for gold. Wise decision USA can't devalue gold. Russia has been preparing for these sanctions. And the west know sanctions will not inflict as much pain as they thought. Not mention Russia's own sanctions which will inflict pain

They just need to close that door on the cauldron, trap those pathetic excuses of human beings, grind them in the dirt and dispose of them like how their fore fathers are buried in those lands which they walk on. Those fkn A hole zovs!!!

Like all wars, not as popular as Eurovision or other nonce show I guess. Russians are not fan of wars no matter what, there was no hype before it and people are still in shock.
There's little coverage in Russian media apart laconic MOD messages.
If war drags out, then Russians will be angry, but so far it's been only few days.

I'd say your brain is more nuked for your inability to process my statement. War is about violence and intimidation. There is a tendency for humans or animals to resist or fight back against something they disprove, but with enough pain and suffering they will give in, I have proven this through experience. I wish I can perform the same experiments on you. But Russia will soon obliterate your city anyways so that works for my entertainment too
I'm guessing your мама enjoyed a lot of vodka when she was carrying you, or you were dropped on your head. If you think anyone is getting nuked or that it would be a good thing then you are truly ret*rded. Bear in mind that Moscow and every other cack hole east of Suwalki would be turned to glass too.
Dismissing a concept as retarded just because it is alien to the norms that have been inscribed on your head when you're growing up reveals that you are simply narrow minded and ignorant. Death is inevitable, it comes to everyone, I've worked in the medicare field and witnessed hundreds of deaths, dying now in a nuclear war versus dying later because of disease or old age makes little difference. As for Moscow and the rest of Russia getting nuked back by NATzO, this is a fair price to pay. MAD is a better outcome because it will result to a draw, unlike the path chosen by Soviet leaders, the USSR disintegrated but NATzO still continued to exist, My proposal is simple, if Russia goes down, take everyone with them down to hell. The only reason why you are opposed to this idea is because you are afraid of death, which means only one thing, that you're a pussy. lol And don't pretend to have the moral high ground, its obvious that you glee in the thought of Russian soldiers dying. You're no saint but just a malicious rabid dog who deserves to get slaughtered by Russian nukes

Global availability basically, somewhat greater speeds i assume and its free. And Russians cant do much about it, which is why they asked for it.

Not really but you can get it for 500$ per months.
With russian jamming it would be useless.
But the media are going wild with propaganda. Russia should cut the web there. It's a wild jungle of pro ukrainian fake accounts. Total manipulation of masses.

BTW, internet is still operational in Ukraine. This is a way for Musk to rip Ukrainians off
