i am still waiting for the HD vid, but here is a nice close up of the burning M1.

Smoke is coming out of the open turret hatches but the driver's remains closed. The entire crew is dead.

A way to tell if the ammo protection measure worked is if all hatches are opened - that means the everyone made it out in time. The driver is furthest from the the ammo in the turret and the hull so he should have the highest chances of survival in case of an internal ammo fire. If he didn't make it out, then the turret crew is more than likely dead.

If Macron decides to send French troops into Ukraine, then they will be killed. Simple as.

Get these people working in Siberia and the Arctic building the BAM extension and the Northern Latitudinal Railway ASAP.

Give them the option, with full pay to do this if they want, but don't treat it like a punishment.

Some EU and NATO countries are considering the possibility of sending their military to Ukraine on the basis of bilateral agreements - Prime Minister of Slovakia..

Do it. HATO countries seem to think their military forces are magical and that when Ukrainian forces fail it is because they are Soviet trained with Soviet equipment... both of which is inferior to western HATO training and equipment and weapons.

Ironic since the Warsaw Pacts equipment was probably better integrated together during the cold war than HATO equipment is now.

BREAKING: 'We do not rule out the possibility of sending NATO soldiers to Ukraine' – Macron

If you do you had better get some agreement with Russia or they will be more military targets.

Maybe HATO is worried about all this peer to peer level experience in real combat is making Russian forces formidable, so they want to put their own guys in this meat grinder to harden them up a bit and sharpen the tools... but they might just end up losing lots of men to no good return.

I would think lots of Afghans and Iraqis and Syrians and Chechens would love to join up to get a shot at HATO soldiers where the odds are not just even but in your favour.

This is actually a good opportunity to bait Finland and the Baltics to attack Russia first, then Russia will have a reason to evict them from Russian lands where they are illegally squatting at present

Russia does not need more land, they will be investing in their new territory and making it grow and develop like western countries will not because they have loans to pay back at increasing interest rates to deal with as they continue to borrow to make ends meet. The future for the EU and US will be austerity measures and extreme cuts to budgets... but not their military budgets which they will have to increase because Russia and China are now the enemy... that is set in stone.

Russia doesn't need to do anything... just let them build walls.

There seems to be a plan in place to divide western Ukraine up should the Russians get too far, This also entails putting Odessa under the care of a Western country.

The west had lots of plans, and seems to need to change them all the time when they fail.

I personally don't see the russians attacking polish troops or other countries if they do not attack first, we will see I guess.

An armed military force on Ukrainian territory is fair game. HATO has been arming the Ukrainians and has been sending specialists to advise and train and even take part in this conflict so killing them would not be something new.

One thing is for certain, Russia has lost its chance to completely secure Ukraine now.

HATO countries actually wanting to send troop into the Ukraine just proves it is on the verge of collapse and they don't want Russian troops on their borders.

Ironic because Russian fears of HATO troops on the Ukraine Russia border was Russia just being paranoid right?

Its remaining BEST end is to secure up to the Dnperio river and odessa region

The west is not going to dictate terms in this conflict, Russia is going to decide how this finishes.

No as A5 can only be triggered if russia attacks their lands directly, etc if they attack french soil etc.

They said they wouldn't attack targets on Russian soil with HATO supplied weapons... and then they said the regions that voted to join the RF didn't count as Russian soil and then they said the Crimea was not Russian soil... and now they say Kiev is just defending itself and can do what it pleases.

With such flexibility I am sure Russia can make the same assurances to the safety of armed HATO troops inside the Ukraine.

Also no one said send their troops into Russia but to assume control and protection of areas in Western Ukraine

Fair game target for the Russian military would you not say?

They wont be killing HATO troops, their bombs and missiles will in fact be aimed at the ground beneath their feet.

Macron wouldn't if France was alone but they wouldn't be, would be with a host of other eu nations, to move into western, central and Odessa to spilt the land up

When Zelenskys regime announces such a deal is the day Zelenskys government gets liquidated and any troops crossing into Ukraine territory will be expunged.

Is quote button disabled again or is my phone being weird?

Quote button is temporarily disabled.

We know exactly who those two people are, why aren't they just banned instead of punishing the rest of us?

That has been brought up and is under consideration as we speak...
