If there was ever the perfect example of (All brawn and no brains) it would have to be awarded to the Russian forces and Putin himself.

During this special operation / war, there's been times that I've not known if to laugh or cry. Today after viewing the lines and lines of Russian tanks, and supply vehicles completely wrecked and burnt out, I must confess I'm laughing. It is however a little soured by this murderous deluded maniac Putin.

Yes, it does appear the Russians got their tactics badly wrong, and under estimated the resistance they would face.
Russia is an undemocratic state run by an autocrat. He has invented propaganda about his county’s might, then rather stupidly started to believe his own myths.
There is no one to challenge Putin for fear for their lives, so bad mistakes are inevitable.
I confess I laughed heartily when I read Khandro's opening on his 'That's A Bit Awkward, Vladimir!' thread.

//Vladimir Putin's army is running out of viable tanks, missiles and fighter jets because the components they use are made in Ukraine, according to The Telegraph.

'The engines for all Russian helicopters, ships and cruise missiles and a substantial portion of fighter jet engines and ground-to-air missile and tank components are made in Ukrainian factories, which no longer supply Mr Putin’s forces.//

Carry on up the Kremlin!!
Each one of those burnt out tanks represent lives lost, regardless of their origins. I find nothing to laugh at from the war in Ukraine.
Actually, ignore the above. The farmer stealing the armoured car on his tractor was hilarious.
Here's another irony:

Russia has been deploying its Wagner group mercenaries to the Donetsk so-called "people's republic". Their head honcho is one Dmitry Utkin, a man who has been photographed with the SS Totenkopf symbol and other nazi tattoos.

Mozz 12.15 well lets hope that the lives lost in those burnt out wrecks contain the bodies of the ones that have raped and murdered the unarmed mothers and children. Sorry but on this occasion I won't be losing any sleep whatsoever.
Actually the incident with the farmer has been repeated many times.
When you have a lot of abandoned vehicles, and a lot of farmers with towing equipment ...

//well lets hope that the lives lost in those burnt out wrecks contain the bodies of the ones that have raped and murdered the unarmed mothers and children.//

If that os the case, I agree entirely. Unfortunately, they're more likely to have been young men sent to war by a despot, feeding his nation with a cacophony of lies and deceit.

Now, if someone puts a bullet in Putin's temple, that will make me chortle.
I'm with Moz.

Too many conscripts being used as canon fodder with no choice.

//well lets hope that the lives lost in those burnt out wrecks contain the bodies of the ones that have raped and murdered the unarmed mothers and children.//

Ukraine reckon 20K are now dead. Whist the treatment of some women and children is appealing I doubt very much that many of those 20k dead took part in that. Most likely Chechens doing it not conscripts.

Oh dear!

I pretty sure everyone knows what he was saying davebro.

Naomi is another one who laughs and cries

bodies left on the street - I cry at that

Reading between the lines - they shot a priest and then booby trapped the corpse as one does - Bucha
A russian conscript who was also orthodox called out to an ukrainian ( also orthodox but kinda different)- "dont touch it it will blow you to smithereens"
christ something to laugh at
// I confess I laughed heartily...//
eds - - can we have a psychos section for this sort of post please?
//Oh dear!//

Oh dear too.

Some of us dont have all day and dont check a post for auto corrects through fat finger spelling errors.

But you go on, have your pathetic laugh.
Ukraine has already identified the division of the Russian army responsible for Bucha or some of it. Including names and passports of individuals. Ordinary Russian servicemen.

But there are similar things - probably a lot worse - happening all over occupied Ukraine. It’s widespread and I doubt Putin specifically ordered any of it specifically although of course he is ultimately responsible. It’s an incompetent ill-disciplined rabble of an army.
We do know he’d have ordered mass killings anyway from the evidence of the crematoria and the evidence of the 45,000 body bags brought to Kyiv oblast alone.
In fact just as Hitler did in Mein Kampf, the Russian state yesterday helpfully outlined just what the plan is for “Malorossiya” as they’d call a renamed or obliterated Ukraine.
Denis Pushilin in Donetsk earlier handing out a medal for the “extermination of 250 nazis” to a “serviceman” clearly sporting Nazi insignia on his uniform.
Crazy times

If Putin didn't order such murderous actions ichkeria, he's now seen the results, and the power to stop such. But I doubt he very much cares a toss. When you flatten a city/town of its domestic living areas, you kill the people within or out.
Watch the TV at 3pm when the UNSC meets to discuss it …
Might be lively
There have been differing reports of the Russians sent to fight in Ukraine.
We have heard of 18 year old conscripts, lied to and sent into battle without food and fuel.
Then we hear of the Wagner Group. Mercenaries - professional killers who are there for the thrill of murdering people.
