Update on the UN vote
An overwhelming vote at the UN General Assembly to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine: 141 in favour; 5 against; 35 abstaining
The 5 countries who were against were: Russia, Syria, North Korea, Eritrea and Belarus
35 abstaining Algeria, Angola, Armenia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burundi, central African Republic, China, Congo, Cuba, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar, Mali, Mongolia, Mozambique, Namibia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.
There were even more countries that abstained, since a whole bunch of countries did not vote; the non-voters are not officially counted as those UN members who abstained, albeit not participating in the vote is practically the same as abstaining.
For example I think Azerbaijan did not participate in the vote, together with a bunch of other countries.
So the number of abstaining countries is even larger.

I never knew Belarus had a maritime industry Sanctions hurting Europe more than Russia and u know it's serious when they are admitting it. And Biden and his so-called sanctions stating weeks ago and also recently that he's going to to put sanctions on Russia that will hurt them and we will see the most serious sanctions package ever. Only for him to pussyfoot around often using the words "we may" Putin has already invaded and making progress and still hes saying "we may" goes to show sanctions don't work and USA knows it hurts others more than Russia. They knew Russia had prepared for this. And as for NATO well they will sitting on the sidelines with their finger up their ass.
Updates
1)US to Restrict Sensitive Items Supporting Belarus Defense, Aerospace, Maritime Industries The Biden administration is issuing a new rule designed to deny sensitive items that support Belarus' defense, aerospace and maritime industries, the US Commerce Department said on Wednesday.

Well. If negotiations fail tomorrow morning then Russia's coming for Kiev. There won't be any more negotiations. And Russia will try to finish things within a week as I imagine.

Your right sorry I forgot to add them I was having to look at the voting board and write all down off the picture. I will edit my post. But just for the record those who didn't vote 11 countries
Seems one KA52 crashlanded and was abandoned and one Su25SM was shot down. Tho that photo of Su-25SM tail number was very weird tbh, like was taken by Smena 8.
I would not call Americans really educated when it comes to geography. I can tell your right now that around 1/3rd of the country don't even know all their states. I bet a 100 € there would be shocking number of them calling up for nuking one of their states if your question would be "Should we go to war with Arkansas for moving their military to close to our northern shores?" I bet around 30-40% would be totally thrilled to go to war.
The difference between westerners and easterners is, that we have lived through at least three political eras, through late communism, through the wild west jewish-oligarch cabal 90's and through the Putin era where he brought Russia from its knees to independence. The west has only one era and it is a weak one that brought up weak people who make times now very hard.
They are easier to manipulate, much easier gullible and are obedient like dogs. I don't say it because I despise the West, I say that because I see it and after the Invasion of Ukraine people are openly russophobic here in Germany. It is like 1933-38 era with the jews. People openly say "Russians not allowed in our Restaurant" or "If you are Russian you have to speak out against Putin and Russia or you are an enemy" Do not believe me?
The reaction to that was a massive 1 Star Rating on Google Maps but was deleted shortly after as "spam" and "trolls"
What happened before up to WW2 and now is absolutely impossible to ignore but Germans and westerners in general are blind to it. They are zombies with no brains and I mean it when I say it. They believe censorship is something noble, they believe hating people is something they should do. They really believe calling for NATO involvement or bombing Russia is a good idea. They are absolutely INSANE. I can feel it in our German society we will have war and it totally looks like 5 minutes before European war. The Americans will fight Russia until the very last European.

There are basically four major things that are not taught in our (American) schools. Before we continue, relax I am one of about 20 percent of Americans who actually knows something of the wider world and am as such basically trending between neutral to pro Russia in relation to the anti fascist special military operation going on in Ukraine. Anyways, there are four major things that American public schools -and most private (mainly religious schools owned by the Catholic Church and various protestant denominations) - fail to teach their children.
1. History. Forget Russian or Ukrainian or European history, a lot of kids don't even know our own history. If WWII is taught, a student is given the impression it was the United States that won the war. Little to nothing is discussed of the Great Patriotic War (is GPW the best translation or would it be more the Great Fatherland War?) and the immense amounts of material, economic, and blood the Soviet people sacrificed to rid the world of Nazism. Things such as the 1919 Red Scare and McCarthyism and how disgustingly close current American Russophobia is to that are not mentioned. I promise you nothing of the long road to war and long stream of missed opportunities for a more or less permanent peace in eastern Europe was taught. Hell, to the Average person here and Putin woke up a week ago and decided to be a mean person just for shits and giggles.
2. Geography. You mentioned Arkansas? Well true story, I was in Atlanta for a family function during the 2008 Olympic War and people were panicking that Russians were in Georgia and would be in Atlanta. Granted, not that many, but there were still more than a few. Also, prior to last week the most snarling Americans did not even give two shits about Ukraine. Probably less could find it on a map with arrows pointed to it and Ukraine Circled and a large sign saying this is Ukraine.
3. Critical thinking. No, wait, let me correct that, thinking. Yeah, the great cynic HL Mencken said almost a century ago that nobody has ever gone broke underestimating the stupidity of the American people. So no history, no geography, no independent thinking, its a bad milieu. When Americans do think, its who went to the Superbowl, who won the 1989 World Series, or what Paris Hilton and the Kardashians are up to.
4. Reading comprehension.

You'll have to forgive me, but doesn't sanctioning Russia AND Belarus only serve to further solidify Russian and Belarussian ties?

That sock puppet bitch was just hysterical! Denying the last 8 years of war in Donbass was pure evil. I guess being confronted by the unvarnished truth was just something the dumb gobshite slapper just wasn't prepared for?
Go Russia! Flatten this Nazi regime and impose your solutions on this dumpster-fire mess that US/EU/NATO have deliberately engineered. Forge ahead as an agent of (much needed) chnage and break this vile corrupt globalist NWO. Treat the "collective West" like the little bitches they are

Point 4 I am pretty sure Ukraine can't change the Geneva convention laws. If any combatant wants to give up they should be able to and be treated as a POW. You can't change that because your losing war.

I was looking at this pic as well as the other pics on the source, it seems like this has been sitting for sometime snow has landed and settled on it bear in mind this helicopters would have been warm, and inside the cockpit photos there was already leaves, twigs as if the wind had blown them in there and there was a fair amount. Makes me wonder if this was the previous ka-52 that went down? It also landed in the same crop type of field I can't be 100% but just asking if anyone else can clarify.

Yeah those possibly two Ka-52s can certainly be recovered and repaired if the russian soldiers get to them fast enough... but it's likely the ukrs will sabotage them first unfortunately.
I too have a suspicion that it may be just the first one shown few days ago though i may be wrong, but it's suspicious there are no pics from the other side, the first one was definitely damaged on the left side- however seems the first had the landing gear out, this one doesn't, again though perhaps since it was relatively lightly damaged the ukrs might have somehow retracted the gear to make it look like it's another one. One conclusive proof would be their RF numbers.
