Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Don't think who discovered it or didn't was the point of the comment. But more importantly if you check

The title of the BBC news article is

Nasa scientists spy 'largest comet ever seen'

That's " SPY" and not "discovered btw

And if you read the article. You would have seen this.

"According to a statement from the space agency, it was discovered by astronomers Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein in archival images from the Dark Energy Survey at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile."

And no I didn't say the Romans would've seen it back then. I said "if the Romans were still around "

And more importantly I did not quote Any "US News outlets".

So your "arse" is irrelvant I'm afraid"

But nothing like a load of passionate exaggeration to belabour a point

But no matter 🤓

But there is a fertile soft soil there. And just coming out of winter, when the ground was frozen. If Russians will be limited to use narrow roads only, so the Ukrainians may win.

When ever this is all over, I'd say that any real Russian hardliners would be long gone home to Russia, ( especially the "Wagneriens" ) but there were many ethnic Russians there too, who didn't want to live under Russian rule, and many are fighting with the Ukrainians. be it long or short, its only a question of time before Ukraine will recover all of its territory.

Details of what happened to the Moskva from the Lithuanian government. Far more credible and plausible than anything the Russian liars / war criminals are claiming.

Apart from the propaganda value to the Ukrainians, this is a huge military setback for the Russians in the Black Sea and leaves their overall war effort weakened.

Absolutely. The Slava class are not only powerful warships, they're also set up as task group flagships, meaning they have significant Command, Control & Communications systems in addition to their extensive sensor suite and weapons fit. The loss of such a ship, whether sunk or as a partially burned-out hulk, is going to drastically reduce the Russian warfighting ability. I'd go so far as to say that the loss of Moskva is probably the single most painful blow the Ukrainians have inflicted on Russia so far.

If the below is true it could make for a very interesting May the 9th parade....

Washington DC in fact 😀

Obviously, if you invade another country, your air force, ground force and navy are fair game.

The pompous, arrogant Kreminals will see this as an escalation though.

With the Ukrainian army seemingly able to stay a step ahead and with outside assistance massively ramped up, perhaps the next fortnight will be absolutely crucial, and indeed, decisive.

Some ****ing balls on him expressing any opinion, after attempting to extort Zelenskyy and jeopardising their safety for political gain

I think Russia are going to lose this war in fact. All the momentum is with Ukraine and they are finally starting to receive the heavy armaments they have been begging for. There's not much evidence the Russians are up to inflicting a major military defeat on Ukraine. not even in the Donbass.

French media reports about the event that took place at the press conference of Marine Le Pen, a candidate in the presidential election. The woman from the audience got up and raised a cardboard heart above her head with a printout of Le Pen with Vladimir Putin. The photo was taken during a meeting in 2017 during the election campaign in France.

She was taken away immediately.

The video of the evacuation of a disruptor from the international press conference of MLP.

There was absolutely no need for this war. All these days later it still beggers belief.

A penny for mad Vlad's thoughts. He's come out of it looking like he hasn't a clue what is going on and like an idiot really.

Before he had the image of an intelligent, calculating strong man.

The damage inflicted on the Moskva sums it all up really. A disaster from the start and worsening by the day for him.

Cut your losses Vlad and take a bottle of whiskey and gun to a room in the Kremlin because there is no return.

I hope they do win: but as far as I'm concerned the "right" way to approach it is to assume Russia are going to have success in this phase of the war and thus ramping up Ukraine's military support is of paramount importance. It doesn't do Ukraine any good to predict or assume a Russian failure.

I would much rather Ukraine have far too many heavy weapons systems flooding the country than not enough. Also even if Russia "lose" we should do everything we can to make that "loss" hurt as much as possible.
