[Kirkhill]

Any bets that Trump is bribing Putin to not use the nukes?

These days you couldn't get me to bet the sun rises in the east.

The irony is that they are stripping an award from a Jew who the UPA in Volyn would have killed just as quick as a Pole.

Funny how history works in this part of the world, right?

TWZ has an absolutely amazing collection of videos showing the latest Ukrainian offensive against oil refineries around Moscow. The videos do show some cases where Russian AD systems take out Ukrainian drones (and in one case an Ukrainian UAV hits a construction tower), but for the most part the AD systems are ineffective.

Extraordinary Footage From Moscow Under Heavy Ukrainian Aerial Attack

Ukraine's large-scale strike on Moscow, triggering massive explosions and fires, may indicate a new phase in the long-range air war. Ukrainian drones strike one of Moscow’s most critical oil refineries, triggering massive explosions and fires.

They also killed Ukrainians who didn’t agree with their interpretation of things.

Just doing some cursory reading on them they are a very mixed bag. At times they fought just about everyone including the Germans, at other times they were allied with Polish resistance groups.

I can see how they would be romanticized by the Ukrainians as they were mainly fighting for a Ukrainian country. Just as I can see why they would be hated by the Poles for some of their disgusting actions in pursuit of that goal.
