Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I would assume not much, it's an incursion. Meaning they don't have the infrastructure to ship it back. If they find any caches, they probably would take what they can use quickly, and destroy the rest.

That all makes sense. I saw today they have captured at least one tank which is nice.

They've penetrated two prepared defence lines which they may want to hunker down in later so shipping ammo back to those would be less hassle.

There's some talk of them potentially holding that gas plant to force Russia to destroy it to dislodge them too, cutting off gas to Hungary while making Russia the one that does it. Muuuaahahaha.

The whole thing is fascinating. Really looking forward to the Perun video on it which will hopefully be next week.

That would be fucking awesome.

Of course the narrative will be 'Ukraine forced our hand.' but everyone, of course, will know better.

Actually, I hadn't thought about that aspect of the incursion. They can potentially disrupt a large amount facilities that give them the remaining export abilities they still have.
