March 4, 20223 yr Vladimir Putin Says Russia Has 'No Ill Intentions,' Pleads for No More Sanctions Definitely seems a man who had this situation well calculated. Edit: there are really only two words I can think of in response to this. Here they are in Russian: пошёл на хуй
March 4, 20223 yr Question. If the Ukraine civilians are fighting back, using rockets, etc... are they still considered civilians as opposed to militant? As in, is it still considered a war crime to bomb civilians if its those civilians that are blowing up tanks and shooting planes down with rockets?

My guess is that civilians aren't engaging much at this stage. Weapons that take down tanks and especially aircraft would require a level of training that probably means professional soldiers are the primary combatants. That will change when things progress to urban warfare, which is probably part of why Russia is targeting so many civilian areas now - they want to scare people out of the fight.

Are you thinking they could get caught in the crossfire, or do you believe that a Russian pilot would intentionally down an American plane carrying humanitarian aid? Intent is tough to judge. Iran accidentally shot down their own civilian airliner a couple years ago. Fog of war and all that.

March 4, 20223 yr Apparently says "dear customer, please check the prices with the cashier" Starting to think maybe Putin didn't game this out all the way.
March 4, 20223 yr https://warontherocks.com/2021/11/feeding-the-bear-a-closer-look-at-russian-army-logistics/ This is an interesting read from back in November (when nobody except our top-10 maybe top-5 of all time president Biden was on it like Hunter with a cocaine holding hooker). If basically states that the Russian army is powerful but cannot sustain its strength logistically. When it ventures too far from railroads it weakens considerably, and is unable to sustain land grabs without stepping back and reorganizing. Ukraine seems to be using a playbook (probably from NATO) that exploits this.

I figured the ones actually fighting are ones with some type of military experience The civilians that are fighting are only defending themselves IMO 18 minutes ago, Kz! said: Interesting perspective. Didn't see the tweet about it being critically damaged. Just that it was hit and was on fire.

March 4, 20223 yr Ukraine had at least some of the reactors safely shut down as the fighting approached. There was a fire from shelling but it was contained and never really a danger. But it's understandable to both exploit it to your advantage when you're being invade by a ishbag and simply for the media to fear people into gluing their eyeballs to their station.

If you were cheering the citizens taking up arms, then you have a tough time selling rockets into civilian areas as foul play.
