Russia personally inconvenienced me earlier today when I had to close my laptop and quickly finish my sushi because the central Kyiv mall I was in had to suddenly close due to an air raid alert. Incoming ballistic missiles.

Obviously, I'm quite happy to see Russian soldiers killed and their infrastructure burn. As is any sane person, fed or not.

Fuck those murderous scumbags.

I think something will happen in the next 2 weeks, there are a lot of interesting things happening these days. Maybe it's just me but something smells really funny.

If Trump actually follows through, that'll be interesting.

I think Trump is irrelevant in this particular case but he can obviously help in a big way. Ukraine is hiding A LOT of stuff right now for almost a year or so. Plus quite a few bridges that aren't anywhere and other things that aren't "kosher". It was announced that there will be bad weather for today and tomorrow (I didn't check), and this is a good moment to move troops and equipment. So we might have something even sooner. 🤷

Yes, I have seen _that_ speculation. Obviously, since Ukraine is hiding things I have no way of knowing what might be coming. Hopefully something good.

Morning news:

"The towed Bohdana BG 155 mm howitzers began arriving en masse to the frontline units"

While it's only an example, it is what I was talking about. I know what the Russians are saying but that wasn't what I was referring to. Most likely, they are preparing their citizens for the news mixed with a bit of a psy op.

The Ukrainians have set aside a lot of stuff. Remember 400 something IFVs from Italy? They're nowhere. Only IFVs are over 2000 "missing".

Just a hunch, but I'm looking at the northern part of the Azov Sea. A secondary target, more as a distraction, might be Crimea, possibly through 2 sides. But they have quite a few places where they can go so it's pure speculation.

Given how quickly Ukraine was able to take territory in Kursk, it wouldn't be surprisingly if they were able repeat something like that again with a stockpile of saved up equipment.

There's also evidence that Ukraine is scaling up their own Ukrainian produced ballistic missiles. A new push might also involve a bunch of Russian targets getting unexpectedly taken out.

Don't you have anything better to do in life?

Don't you?

russians also doing fpv ambush but against civilian cars in cities close to the front line. like Konstantinovka

Yup. Absolute sumbags.

This makes me sick

What about this guy?

I don't know your situation, but maybe don't celebrate death

He could have stayed home.

He's a Russian soldier in Ukraine. It's highly likely that he's a volunteer who signed up for the massive pay given to Russian volunteers (it's illegal under Russian law to send conscripts to Ukraine itself, and this law is followed with rare exceptions).

Ultimately he was trying to murder the Ukrainian soldiers who are in turn keeping me and everyone else in Kyiv safe.

Fuck him. It's a good thing he's dead. Given the opportunity I would have no qualms killing him myself.

Over the past weekend, according to reports, at least 27 civilians were killed and 105 wounded as a result of russian shelling. so, how do you think I feel as ukrainian about this moron on the photo?

You probably dislike him to say the least, but your ukrainian so I can understand that. my point was that all the Americans and other keyboard warriors online who get obsessed with this shouldn't be cheer-leading for a tragic war they have no part in and will never feel the effects of (loosing family and friends)

Cheering on Ukrainians killing Russians isn't "cheer-leading for a tragic war". It's cheering for victory over evil.

As for "having no part in it", I'm literally in Kyiv right now, for good reasons. Among them being there's a big Bitcoin community in Ukraine and this trip I did two panels at Bitcoin events.

You're ultimately just trying to make excuses to let evil go unpunished. Evil that if not stopped in Ukraine, will certainly continue to spread. Russia has been invading neighbors for centuries. As a Canadian I'm well aware of the fact that Russia and Canada share a long northern border, and Russia has been challenging Canadian sovereignty in the north.

I didn't know you were in Ukrainian, so your situation makes a little more sense to me now.

I'm not trying to justify anything or take sides in this "good vs evil" fight, only trying to make a point that I'm so far removed from it that it does not make sense for people like myself to have strong opinion on it. that said seeing people celebrating killing whether justified or not makes me uncomfortable because its not something people do without being intentional about it

Celebrating the deaths of evil people doing evil things is not radical or unjustified in any way. It's perfectly normal, and healthy.

Any reasonable person should be able to figure out good-vs-evil in this conflict.

Well said. Kyiv was attacked again yesterday and civilians were killed, children among them. The Russian soldiers attacking Ukraine on their own sovereign land like this should be stopped, even if it means their death. Self defense against absolute evil.

...and yet again this morning: nostr:nevent1qqswa5hpdydy9jpe6lc7hzc7dx9gkn7xzvreqyn9cqcmdq5aku8pzpcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsve2jcud7fnjzmchn4gq52wx9agey9uhfukv69dy0v4wpuw4w53nqrqsqqqqqpn3v3v2

I actually heard that particular attack – and indirectly saw it reflected off a nearby building. An extremely loud attack even though I was multiple kilometers away from it.

I don't think one need to be ukranian to get the correct picture of this war. I know examples how outsiders have a thorough understanding of everything here. it is just pragmatic-clear-thinking vs "omg war is bad russians are good stop funding the war".

also I know that Peter has been to Ukraine and probably knows firsthand what shelling a peaceful city looks like, and that clears the mind of mindless pacifism.

You have a good point, but in my defense I am not a pacifist. I simply do no have an opinion on the war because I have not put the time and effort into gathering all the information and thinking through it.

I'm in a somewhat privileged position where it does not effect me, so for my own sake I do not need to have an opinion, or at least not a strong one.

I'm not trying to dismiss the war. I'm just tired of seeing people being radicalized over something that is on the other side of the world and isn't part of their lives.
