I bet trump wishes he'd had some generals like that one. Hell, that dude could overturn an election single handed and then work out on a bus.

"work out on a bus"?

Whoa.

Ukrainian 'Kraken' special ops destroy Russian headquarters

Nice shot.

I mean the guy could beat up a bus. Hell, he had to destroy a tank just to get out of it.

He could be used to block a water main to a besieged city.

Damn, the material in that uniform could clothe a platoon.

He should have saved the Cheetos until he got out of the tank. Remember, Ukraine, there are no walruses in the Black Sea. Fire at will.

Ukraine wins back control over Snake Island

Russia says it has evacuated its soldiers stationed on Snake Island, the Ukrainian outpost in the Black Sea that had been invaded by Russia in late February.

Snake Island, also known as Zmiinyi Island, is a strategic outpost off the southern coast of Ukraine that has taken on heroic proportions in Ukraine's fight against Russia after Ukrainian soldiers there refused to surrender the island in a February battle.

Ukraine's southern forces have been striking the island to take out Russian outposts in recent days. Russia's defense ministry said it left the island as a "goodwill gesture."

... "Unable to withstand the fire of our artillery, missile and air strikes, the occupiers left Snake Island," Valery Zaluzhny, the head of Ukraine's armed forces, said in a video speech on Facebook.

The Russian retreat from Snake Island is a strategic win for Ukraine and a boost for morale as resources run low in the east, where Russia is trying to take more territory.

Russia has managed to blockade key Ukrainian Black Sea ports, preventing critical foodstuffs including grain to be exported. Ukrainian control over Snake Island gives Ukraine's armed forces a chance to disrupt Russian shipping lanes in the Black Sea and weaken Russia's hold on southern Ukrainian land.

The island was originally occupied by Russia in late February in a battle that became internationally known when Ukrainian soldiers refused to surrender despite calls from the Russian warship, the Moskva, to put down their arms.

A soundbite in which they told the Moskva, "Russian warship, go f--- yourself!" went viral after being shared publicly by a Ukrainian government spokesperson. The Moskva was sunk by Ukrainian forces in April.

The Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island were briefly detained under Russian occupation but were freed in March as part of a prisoner swap.

It was a gesture of goodwill from the Russian commanders to the Russian soldiers on that island, as they could not survive too much longer under sustained Ukrainian bombardment.

I think Ukraine should give Russia an opportunity to do more "goodwill gestures" by hammering Russia's forces elsewhere and forcing them to retreat even more.

The Yooks are already helping them out by switching their ships into submarines.

As a scuba diver, I like to say that the Ukrainians are helping the Russians create artificial reefs.

I think Russia should continue their good will gestures for all of Ukraine including Crimea.

"Yesterday one of four helicopters, likely Ka-52s, which flew close to Zmiinyi (Snake) Island was damaged and fell into the sea between the island and the Odesa gas condensate field.

The Ruscists were trying to organise a search-and-rescue operation, but the helicopter was invited to land on the Moskva cruiser."

Ka-52 (Alligator)

The pride of the Black Sea fleet, the Moskva, was sank on 14 April from two Ukraine Neptune missiles.

No doubt about it. He could also feed a platoon for about a week. I wonder what his official vehicle is; a fucking hot tub on wheels?

He just tucks his arms in and an APC pushes him around like a beach ball.

Salad tongs to urinate? Diapers?

Breaking news: General Pavel was thrown in the air by a mine. His injuries were minor, but the squad he landed on all died.

Nice shot. Entirely gravity or guided?

The guy is so tough he uses those 12" diameter big mines as dinner plates. He's more than tough; they say he's at least 95% gristle. No container yet devised can contain his DNA.

Got 'em.

[O Really]

What a difference in the world - all of it, including Ukraine, since K9nanny started this thread in 2014. Makes the head spin, and not in a good way.

The cerebellum flaps crazily against the underside of the skull as the eyes bug out. Meanwhile, trumpers remain silent on what for 80 years has been US policy. Namely, standing up for representative government against notional strongmen. What a con job. trump has far surpassed P.T. Barnum.

... except the dozens of times when they were "our" notional strongmen.

I used to know a song title something like "Gut shoot Somoza", but I can't find it with google or on YouTube. Maybe it was just the product of some garage band friends. It was pretty catchy.

Ah, yes, back when ignorance was of a more benign and far away flavor..... kept out of sight sort of thing.....Central America, Iran, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan. I guess that was back when America was great; at least ignorance and apathy made it appear that way.

It wasn't that long ago that we supported warlords in Iraq and Afghanistan and fake "democratic" leaders there, along with brutal regimes in Honduras and Colombia. I can't think of any at the moment, though I'm not very informed about Africa. Anyhow, I'm sure we'll do it again if it suits our "interests".
