Image appears to show bodies of Russian soldiers arranged in letter 'Z' after Ukraine recaptures village
A grisly image has emerged purportedly showing bodies of Russian soldiers arranged in the letter “Z” after Ukraine’s military recaptured a village in the country’s east.www.foxnews.com
We'll see what happens after May 9th, but so far I am not impressed. I am pretty sure that IF Russia is second to the USA, they are a distant second, especially when the USA is backed by NATOI have always thought of Russia's military capabilities as being second only to us. Besides their nukes, I am not sure I believe that anymore.

May 9 is the Soviet victory over the Nazis day.What is happening on May 9th?
What is happening on May 9th?
Sounds like a formality to me. Maybe Russia will send more troops into the meat grinder or maybe they won't. Either way Russia made a big mistake that will haunt them for years to come. Cold war is back baby!Why May 9 is a big day for Russia, and what a declaration of war would mean
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, and since then President Vladimir Putin has insisted that his troops are carrying out a "special military operation" instead of a war.www.cnn.com
The hubub in Ukraine is just to draw attention away from Frodo so he can shoot a javelin up Putin's ring on the 9th.What is happening on May 9th?
Right. It is a big deal in propping up the ethno-nationalism that Putin wants the Russian population to embrace. Which is ironic in the sense that Russian leaders are embracing an ethno-nationalistic Russification motif which is sorta Nazi-like, under the rubric of fighting Nazis.May 9th is an important symbolic day for Russian citizens and their military. It is tied to thier victory over the Germans in WWll and their views on patriotism. They have a large military parade yearly on this day in Moscow and it would be keeping in tradition that a major announcement regarding the military would be made at this time.
Yep More than a few parallels there. Russians using the excuse of protecting native Russians living in another country to grab land. Just like Hitler did in taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia in order to "protect" the ethnic Germans living there. I'm sure that irony is utterly lost on Putin.Right.
