Its also a storm in a teacup - lots of countries typical list place names in their own language. For instance, England isn't called England in other European countries (ie Angleterre in French, Inglaterra in Spanish). 'Germany' is the English name for Deutschland. Recently Wales renamed a national park to Bannau Brycheiniog - its historical Welsh name. Some English people got angry calling it 'anti-English' and they'd keep calling it Brecon Beacons. Well, of course they would - English speakers typically will struggle to say the Welsh name so will go with what they know as its easier. Russia just seem to lose all perspective here. |
100% storm in a tea cup. Just find it funny how they conclude it to be aggression.
I guess, when you look at the parallels of Germany's reasons for invading Poland and Russia invading Ukraine, one would think they following the same strategy.

"Those territories, which were taken with the blood and lives of our fighting comrades for many months, every day - walking tens or hundreds of meters - today are abandoned almost without a fight by those who should hold our flanks," said the head of the terrorist organization.
Irish troops from militarily neutral Irland started training Ukrainian forces in non-aligned Cyprus. What exactly stops neutral Austria from doing the same?@veitdengler @HoansSolo @GresselGustav https://t.co/GIGCJ4tmVJ

Thread 🧵on the Storm Shadow land-attack cruise missile delivered by the UK that provides Ukraine, in principle, with an extremely potent long-range strike capability against hardened targets at operational and strategic depth. 1/12 pic.twitter.com/Jcm179wAOZ

Storm Shadow is equipped with a TR60-30 Turbojet engine, providing it with a range of 250-400 km. The variant delivered to Ukraine is likely to be at a lower end of this spectrum, similar to the Black Shaheen export version (290 km range) delivered to the UAE. 3/12 pic.twitter.com/QtHUjjTxqd

This warhead design allows cruise missiles to achieve the degree of hard-target penetration formerly only possible using laser-guided gravity bombs. As such, Storm Shadow constitutes an incredibly effective weapon against hardened targets, if it can be brought to its target. 5/12 pic.twitter.com/DTwtAbnW7B

For midcourse guidance, Storm Shadow employs a triple navigation system using inertial navigation, GPS, & Terrain Reference Navigation. For terminal guidance, it uses an imaging infrared seeker & automated target recognition software for pin-point accuracy (in theory). 7/12 pic.twitter.com/uOmyjOA94U

So far, this war has demonstrated that low-flying, subsonic vehicles can be intercepted, perhaps more easily than priorly assumed. If this S-300 has indeed shot down 22 Kalibr cruise missiles, there is no reason to assume that Russian S-300s cannot intercept Storm Shadows. 9/12 pic.twitter.com/SxY9B0yf9f

Talking about Kerch Bridge: The combination of pinpoint accuracy and hard-target kill capability renders Storm Shadow a much more potent weapon against the bridge than ATACMS could, in principle, ever be. See the thread below on ATACMS’ shortcomings. 11/12https://t.co/AbUiOJRjuS

And I'll reiterate - The sentiment is applicable to the Russian soldiers in the video shooting at the surrendering soldier, but its not applicable not Russians as a whole. |
Try telling that to the victims of Russia's attacks on civilians.

Austria is full of fascists and people who don't mind working with fascists. In other words, it's Austria's DNA that is stopping it.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
