Look more like hired thugs than police.

It's probably purely coincidental but whenever Russia makes a move, it feels like we have western officials at the same time publicly pissing their pants and setting redlines on themselves, at the same time as Russia getting more aggressive, it's just poor timing, I'm baffled by the inability of western officials to just shut the fuck up instead of publicly shouting to Russia: "yeah, we're terrified of you"

Russia makes a push on Chasiv Yar.

  • West - Noooo we can't send non-combat troops into Ukraine, what are you crazy?! Russia will nuke us!

Russia making a push into Kharkiv

  • West - Noooo we can't shoot down Russian drones in Ukraine, what are you crazy?! Russia will nuke us!

Please continue screaming from the rooftops how terrified of Russia you are and that you won't do what is necessary.

He said the ideas had come from "lessons learned out of the experience in Ukraine, mostly through the eyes of our UK special operations partners, who not only have done that in their formations, but they've also learned very quickly that they needed other elements of their joint force."

In a statement to Business Insider, a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: "It is the long-standing policy of successive governments not to comment on UK Special Forces."

US Commander Appeared to Suggest UK Special Forces Were in Ukraine

I feel like sometimes, UK is just used as the bait to test Russia's reaction.

  • "Go on UK, be the first to send ATGMs"
  • "Go on UK, be the first to send MBTs"
  • "Go on UK, be the first to send long-range missiles"
  • "Hey, did you hear, UK has special forces in Ukraine"

People keep leaking that UK and only UK has special forces in Ukraine, Lmao.

Just makes the whole debate about sending training forces even more dumb cause Russia would definitely know if there are UK special forces in Ukraine as well and they've done precisely fuck all about it but we're still pissing our pants about sending some training forces far away from the frontlines in a non-combat role cause why? Russia might get mad if we shoot down some unmanned weapons?

Putin has replaced his longtime friend and defense minister, and put into his place an economist. This seems crazy, because you have to know about the big picture viewpoints of military conflicts ( kind of like those ultra large scale RTS games such as Supreme commander), more than how to make your country more prosperous, it would seem. This guy is going to get his military into all kinds of trouble and the generals are going to hate this lmao. Here's an article for reference if anybody missed this:

"Hmhm *Nods*. We will get you those Patriots, Zelenskyy, uh...I don't know, is next year good for you? It's just that while your country dies, it makes us and our allies too uncomfortable to put ourselves in even a fraction of the uncomfortable nature that you are currently feeling, what if Russia invades us bro? What if Russia gets through our cannon fodder allies who will die for our comforts!?"

Then to reporters: Something Something, As Long As It Takes!
