The photo you posted here was how the tanks repositioned as the Face the ambush by Ukrainian soldiers. Killing all of them.
Just did..

I think the lead tank got hit and the other tanks fired on all angles neutralizing their attackers before moving on..

The commander must have been killed and the next top ranking officer took charge..

The Ukrainian attackers don't have a chance though I don't think they were all killed, some must have escaped from the fight..

Let's take a minute to appreciate this great deed from USA, firstly Putin broke international law by invading Ukraine, secondly he committed a war crime by hitting civilians especially children to the extent of bombing an hospital.
Is this an act of frustration or what,no one deserves this.
My heart goes to the children and innocent civilians that were struck.
And US didn't break international laws or killed civilians (Including children) in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria?

Oga, Russia security guarantees must be met either by dialogue or by military intervention, anyway NATO, US and Ukraine wants it!

We want peace in the world and it's clear who wants war for it's military industries..

Foreign AffairsClash Between Poland And US Over Mig-29s Reveals Tensions In Escalating War by paafin(op): 1:06pm On Mar 09, 2022
The buck-passing between Poland and the US over the possible use of elderly MiG-29s to hit Russian forces inside Ukraine is one of the west’s few diplomatic failures of the past month. It also raises questions about how far European countries are prepared to escalate militarily before they believe they will touch a dangerous Russian tripwire.

The US and Europe have worked hard to keep their differences over sanctions and oil embargos to a public minimum, and tried to accommodate each other’s national interests.

So it was striking on Tuesday when first the Pentagon described a Polish offer to send plans to the US airbase in Mannheim as “untenable”, then the deputy US secretary of state said the US had not been consulted about the plan.

Part of the problem was that the Polish proposal was subtly but critically different to a scheme that had been previously discussed in private. Against the backdrop of highly charged diplomatic tensions, presentation matters.

In essence Poland said it would cooperate in strengthening the Ukrainian air force so long as this would be seen in Moscow as a US, Nato or EU scheme, but not a Polish one.

In its original US-conceived iteration, the proposal was a trilateral deal whereby Poland would hand over the MiGs to Ukrainian pilots to fly into their homeland, and the US would then provide some substitute planes. Boris Johnson, an enthusiast, described the plan as “rent a MiG”.

That proposal, arguably, was not qualitatively different to Nato members providing Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank missiles. In return, Poland would eventually fill the hole in its air force with 28 F-16s being provided by the US.

But under private pressure from the US, Poland felt the plan unduly exposed its citizens to Putin’s ire. So instead, in a game of diplomatic pass the parcel, Poland tweaked the proposals so the planes would be sent free of charge to the US airbase in Ramstein, Germany, rather than being flown out of Poland into Ukraine. The move would literally take Poland out of the line of Russia’s fire since the plan could be labelled as that of the US, Nato or the EU.

KaluwisxPRO:
Ask your father who’s leading an attack on a sovereign country to stop with his primary 6 propaganda. The Linus called Putin said he was not going to attack Ukraine, but that was just him being scared of giving the Ukrainians enough time to prepare. Even with their unpreparedness, Russia is still having a hard time. What if Ukraine took the west Serious about the attacks?

IMO Zelensky is a fool for trusting the words of Putin that he was not planning an attack, this war would have been Over with Russia begging for peace since a week ago.

U.S is the busy body trying to help Ukraine because they warned them of the attack and Ukrainians thought the west was pushing for a war, Now he wants to blame NATO and the US for no direct help due to his own negligence and arrogance.
Mind you!

This is not a military invasion!

This is a "Special military operations"

If Russia deploys as much as 50% of his military assets(even if Ukraine prepares for a full year), They will raze Ukraine into smithereens!
Foreign AffairsGermany’s Scholz Rejects Calls To Ban Russian Oil And Gas by paafin(op): 12:21pm On Mar 09, 2022
BERLIN — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz today pushed back against calls from the U.S. and Ukraine for a ban on imports of Russian gas and oil as part of international sanctions on Moscow.

“Europe has deliberately exempted energy supplies from Russia from sanctions,” Scholz said in a statement, adding: “At the moment, Europe’s supply of energy for heat generation, mobility, power supply and industry cannot be secured in any other way. It is therefore of essential importance for the provision of public services and the daily lives of our citizens.”

The Ukrainian government, with the banking of a number of U.S. and European politicians, has argued that the West must end imports of Russian energy in order to stop helping to finance Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war chest.


Scholz said that his government and European partners have been “working hard for months” to develop alternatives to Russian energy supplies, but stressed that “this cannot be done overnight.”

“That is why it is a conscious decision on our part to continue the activities of business enterprises in the area of energy supply with Russia,” Scholz added.

The chancellor’s intervention followed comments by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said on Sunday that the United States and European Union were in “very active discussions” to ban imports of Russian oil. Japanese media reported that Tokyo had joined those discussions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday also called for “a boycott of Russian exports, in particular, the rejection of oil and oil products from Russia.”

US don dey hungry for war since but never see clients.
I hope Russians are ready cos they too called for this war by invading Ukraine.
Also, US no be country you go just threaten anyhow like European countries cos they get everything you get and even more.
Hungry for war yet they fled from Afghanistan.

If war still dey hungry them, they should go back to Afghanistan. The Taliban terrorists that made them to invade that country in 2001 without UN resolution are still ruling with renewed terrorism..

Foreign AffairsJUST IN: Russian Banks Switch To China's Unionpay After Visa, Mastercard Snub by paafin(op): 1:27pm On Mar 06, 2022
Several Russian banks said on Sunday they would soon start issuing cards using the Chinese UnionPay card operator’s system.

The new issues will be coupled with Russia’s own Mir network.

The move comes after Visa and MasterCard said they were suspending operations in Russia.

Announcements regarding the switch to UnionPay came on Sunday from Sberbank, Russia’s biggest lender, as well as Alfa Bank and Tinkoff.

Visa and Mastercard are American payment platforms.


Both announced Saturday they were suspending their services in Russia following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Wow,everyone supporting Russia invasion of Ukraine ,a sovereign state is a very foolish human being, the fact that they are even justifying it ,with war crimes of western states in the past, in this 21st century is rather unfortunate and absurd..two wrongs does not make a right ,if a state or a person kills a human being or human beings unjustly in the past, it doesn't justify another state doing same presently. putin is a mad man, full of demons of death and pride and his end will be unfortunate.because if u can't create a human being, u don't have any right to kill a human being,no matter what.if putin is strong as he want the world to think ,he will be able to secure his state and border,even if he is surrounded by his perceived enemies.again if Russia is as powerful as putin is trying to show ,the western powers will never be able to contemplate attacking him because every one is afraid of the mighty and powerful. Putin had no real reason for invading Ukraine...even if a sovereign state like Ukraine decide to join EU,NATO,AU etc what is the business of Russia, by attacking Ukraine ,sane people have seen the reason Ukraine ought to joined this groups in other to protect their country from bullying mad man like putin.
Did you know America bombed Syria in this same 21st Century?

Is Syria not a sovereign state?

Russia should come in with their land troops na and stop bombarding Ukraine from miles away.



Russian military aren't as formidable as you all think, what's saving them is the air raids and missile bombardments from afar. Ukrainian soldiers want them to come in let them fight it out man to man, that's why Ukrainian President have been begging EU to put a no fly zone over Ukraine so Russian troops can come in and conquer Ukraine with their armored tanks and land troops.




With what Russia have displayed in Ukraine, it will take Russia 50 years to defeat Israel if they leave both to battle it out cos Russia rely mostly on projectile missiles from afar and on air raids and Israel have strong air defense system that will neutralize those their missile strikes and air raids. And when it comes to land troops, Israel, Britain, Georgia, Ukraine, France, US, etc are the beasts.



Russian land troops lack coordination and needed high military morale.



Their advantage over Ukraine is the air raids and missile strikes from afar which Ukraine doesn't have cry
Same advantage US had over Iraq and Afghanistan, still they left those countries without victory

Go and sit down one place, oga
