The same "peace" they plan to bring to Taiwan I imagine.

I think Russia and China use "peace" as a euphemism similar to the way that the U.S. uses "liberation" as a euphemism.

Peace and world are the same word in Russian, the imperialism is baked in.

For Russia/China, peace can only be achieved by ensuring anyone and everyone who opposes you is dead or locked up.

Got into the onions a bit when the guy basically stated he knew he was going to his death. My heart goes out to him.

Glory to the hero.
Glory to the heros.
Glory to Ukraine!

Longer video showing a battle over the road of life to Bahkmut. Very intense close quarters combat.

Straight up bad infantry fight. Hard to believe. The guy filming seems like a hell of a combat leader.

It makes me so ####ing angry watching that, knowing the death and destruction russians bring wherever they decide to invade next. And all for what? So the orc manager can sit on his golden throne knowing he has another piece of land while already governing the largest country in the world, even though he only cares about 2 cities? F'ing ridiculous. Infuriating watching this knowing what Ukrainians have to go through so they can live in a free country.

The only good RU soldier on UA territory is a dead one, full stop. Videos like this prove it.

On a side note, my wife and I are heading to Poland tomorrow to visit her family, who haven't seen each other since my wife escaped occupation last year. Her step-sisters (who themselves had a crazy rambo-like escape which I didn't post about much) will also be there. To say that this family reunion will be epic is an understatement. Not joking when I say that this reunion seemed unlikely at any point in the future, given what her parents went through.

It's going to be an emotional, crazy fun visit with a lot of catching up. Excited to see them all!

It's frustrating that they need to hold back defending in order to conserve ammo. That's a terrible position to be in, as if it wasn't bad enough already.

Didn't the pilot wonder why there wasn't any AA fire?

Russians hiding like babies behind their nuclear wall allow them to live their lives as though they are untouchable. The russian official saying 'thank god no one was killed', like they are not in a war 25 kms away.

This is the part of the article that bothered me the most. Disgusting ignorance.
