    That part of Moldova calls itself Transnistria, and Russia has had troops stationed there for a while.

    This is an ex-pat who bought an apartment in Ukraine a few months ago. Digital nomad I've been following a few years online.

    He managed to escape, but his story is kinda funny.


    He was in SF a few weeks ago visiting family and decided to come back anyway


    Here he is on RT news saying everything is normal a month ago.

    Pity there is no way they can brick every Apple product already in the country!

    I'm beginning to really doubt some of these stories. Russia is supposedly suffering huge loses, but with no indication it is affecting their combat effectiveness.

    Eh....... it's day... what.... 9? 10? And they haven't taken Kiev? And the Ukrainians are letting them basically get wherever they want. They're just keeping them out of the major cities.

    I started watching Johnny this year after he collaborated with Bald and Bancrupt. He seems like a really nice guy, but is maddenly clueless sometimes. The way he constantly shits on his fellow Americans is annoying as fuck.

    I am not military tactician but it seems to me a long convoy of Russian vehicles would be sitting ducks. Ukraine Fan, is there an air force? Don't want to sound bloodthirsty but this is war, after all, couldn't the convoy be bombed or strafed or something?

    Bomb the front and back of the convoy and trap them in

    it hasn’t been a week yet haha. Tomorrow night will be a week into it

    My question is why would Russia have 800 vehicles close together to be blown up. That part I don’t really see possible. They aren’t that stupid

    Not that I think all 800 vehicles were destroyed, but they've been showing satellite images of a different 40 mile long convoy on its way to the capital. I would think the same though, just seems like a horrible tactic, sitting ducks.
