hmmm...i wonder what is different about the round with the silver tip, second from right in picture you posted, herman? a tracer round maybe? it's certainly not a hollowpoint, and those are banned by the Geneva protocols on armaments. even an exposed tip could allow it to expand however...:oops:

Meanwhile western weapons deliveries to ukranian ports have been buried with the grain in Ukraine and the Black Sea shipping route is in lock down. Any attempt of americans to engage the russian fleet will be crushed like the ukranian ”counter offensive”.

Hard to tell exactly what color that is .
If it is Russian ammo it is white which means it has a mild steel core.

here's an interesting document on mysterious fires and explosions in Russia that are formally unexplained by the Russian government. fascinating as they occur all over the country and it's quite obvious that they could not have all been done by Ukrainians.

please notice that most of them are somehow related to the war effort and that these all occurred after feb 24, 2022.

This is simply old school psychological projection on your part.

But hey do explain exactly what the ukranian offensive have achieved aside from 1 dead russian for every 10 ukranians.

I hear there was a little incident on Dzharylhach island where it was about 200 russian casualties and 0 Ukrainian.

RUssia bom

Russia invaded a sovereign nation, bombed and shelled civilian infrastructure like hospitals, bombed and shelled civilians in general, bombed and shelled the evacuation routes from the flood they caused when they blew up a dam, bombed and shelled people brining humanitarian aid to those in the flood zones and then Russian ball lickers throw a temper tantrum like the little bitch boys they are about how Ukraine is attacking Russian territory. What a bunch of fags.

Foolish is the moron who thinks he can sow the wind and not reap the whirlwind.
Not supporting Russia, but it's not like USA and some important NATO members never had done similar things, isnt? I'm a Latín American living in Latín América, and Cóndor operation is very present still. So it's not like any other imperialistic country (USA, China,etc) has a position of moral superiority about invading sovereign nations.

except that the US and NATO countries have not invaded another country with the goal of permanently annexing and occupying it for all eternity. Putler has publically announced that Crimea and the four occupied oblast in Ukraine are now forever a part of the Russian Federation.

this is a very important distinction.

he failed at taking the whole country in the opening weeks of the war or he would have annexed the entirety of Ukraine

Well, maybe not recently, but a good part of what is now the US used to be Mexico, isn't it?
Or whenyou guys annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii?
Or all the broken treaties with the Native American tribes (who were considered sovereign nations in the time) in their expansion west?
Or Puerto Rico? (which, well, it was not an independent nation but part of Spain but whatever)
And the Monroe Doctrine?
and well... a good part of Africa not long ago was still the colonial property of Europe, especially France, Belgium, Portugal... They didn't leave because they were good and compassionate guys, rather they had to be expelled by the anti-colonial wars.
Clearly, Russia is the invader and I do not justify it (although Ukraine has been bombing the separatist cities of Donetsk and Lugansk since 2014, that is also important to remember) but we must not fall for double standards.

So you're saying that Americans are intentionally bombing and shelling civilians in Latin America and bombing hospitals and blowing up dams? That they're intentionally targeting humanitarian aid? Intentionally gunning down civilians who are just trying to get away from the shit?

And wasn't Mexico colonized by the Spanish before that? Also funny how Spanish imperialism, colonialism and committing genocide gets a free pass these days.
Or whenyou guys annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii?
Hey, in 1993 the President signed an apology resolution for the overthrow of the kingdom so...there is that.
Or all the broken treaties with the Native American tribes (who were considered sovereign nations in the time) in their expansion west?
Of course things like expansion and genocide are uniquely American. Never in the history of everything did anything like that ever happen before.
Or Puerto Rico? (which, well, it was not an independent nation but part of Spain but whatever)
Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the US when they signed the Treaty of Paris after the Spanish-American War. Again, interesting how you don't hold Spain in any way accountable for their imperialism and colonialism.
And the Monroe Doctrine?
Actually what's funny about it is a bunch of people of European descent created a document that told Europeans that the Americas were closed to any further European invasion.
and well... a good part of Africa not long ago was still the colonial property of Europe, especially France, Belgium, Portugal... They didn't leave because they were good and compassionate guys, rather they had to be expelled by the anti-colonial wars.
Yep. Sometimes you fight and win, and sometimes you fight and lose, like the Native Americans.
Clearly, Russia is the invader and I do not justify it (although Ukraine has been bombing the separatist cities of Donetsk and Lugansk since 2014, that is also important to remember) but we must not fall for double standards.
Was that before or after Ruzzia invaded Crimea?

Building and expanding your country by genocide and slavery isn't a grey area, it solidly fucking dark...
Welcome to human history. The history of imperialism IS the history of mass murder and/or slavery. Hell, the whole idea of empire is predicated on the belief that we are superior to you and thus we have the right to take your shit and kill you if necessary, or sometimes just for shits and giggles.
I'm not saying it's right but that's been the reality for thousands of years.
