    I don't like the structure to be honest. It's new songs then deep/er cuts then hits. I get the new songs being played together due to theme but it's still a bit weird

    Caused really slow start, since I dont find neither Senjutsu nor Stratego as "concert songs"... The show started wit 'Writing'...

    The rest is more or less as predicted. Closing with Aces is strange but...

    I liked 1st leg more, bit Bruce seems better now...

    If "complete senjutsu" show comes, I'll go...

     

    Edit: is it me or is audience younger with every tour?

    Pretty sure Ukraine will have to give up the eastern part of the city to end this war. It sucks but I doubt Putin will ever stop. Seems Russia has their eye on Moldiv now too. They're not part of Nato either.

    Also it seems whatever money for weapons the US and Nato give Ukraine it's going to take a long time to actually get to the army. WTF?

    And showing what Russia has done to the cities and the bodies of the dead being dumped makes me so angry and I don't understand how this can continue? Claiming war crimes isn't helping these people.

    Now Biden wants Russia to be the number 1 country for terrorism yeah, so?

    I think this actally was an option for UA in early days of war, but after genocife like actions in Kyiv oblast revealed - think UA is preparing for full scale liberation of its territories in east (Krim doubtfull, but isolated Russia won't be able to supply Krim disconected from eastern Ukraine...

    Also, east Ukraine is full of iron ore and steel factories that were big part of UA BDP...

    Every day of succesfull defence across the state is much needed time gained for preparation of counterdefence on big scale. With USA providing intelligence, assemblyng heavy weapon systems (both attacking and defending) can result in successfull counterattack in right moment...

    My country been there, done that in 1990s...

  3. It seems German goverment is trying hard to put its country on wrong side of history (again). 1st promised heavy weapons to UA, then removed it from available list, while lying that noone else is giving it to UA...

    Guess they cannot forgive UA not surrendering to Russia within 2 initial days of "special military action"...

    How the hell did they manage to take down that ship? :lol:  Well done!!

    Ukraine claims they hit it with Neptune projectile, but Russa claims it wasn't like that. They said, the greatest Black Sea ship was destroyed by their own incompetence... 🤡

    But they are hurt... TV show pundits call for starting the war (!) Because of it and for nuking Kyiv...

    90 percent of those are women and children.

    It's still a question as to whether they'll stay in their host countries or go back once the violence has subsided and homes are rebuilt. 

    Some (small numbers) already returned to Kyiv oblast...

    And about good news - "Moscow" is at the bottom of the sea...

    Germany's weakness has always been it's lack of natural resources. Since they did an own-goal of going away from nuclear power, they have no other option.

    They went away from nuclear power because of their polititians connectiobs with Russia and profit from import of Russian coal, gas and oil... Mutti Angela was always apolegetic for Putin - strange thing for Eastern German about former KGB...

    After all Putin and Russia has done to the Ukraine people I don't see how anyone can admire Putin. Maybe she figures if she's on his side, Putin won't invade France when the time comes? Yeah, right.

    It seems no matter what the Ukraine does, Putin won't give up the fight.

    The world needs to realize this and do more for Ukraine. How many more people have to suffer each and every day.

    And even though Russian troops have left some cities, I doubt they will stay away for good. 

    These people live in fear every day while others talk and talk. 

    I doubt most of the other countries including the US would live like this every day. I know I couldn't do it.

    She is not Putin's admirer... she (as most of polititians these days) doesn't care where from money is coming as long as it arrives... 

    Germany stood with high moral when economic crisis was at peak and when they ordered Greece and the rest of Europe to lower their spendings (wrong tactics as many ecomoists said then and all of them now) even if that caused loweri g of standards in those countries. But now, when they should abandon cheap russian oil and maybe lower their own standard - no way... glad, president Z refused German presidebt's visit to Kyiv. After all, they (Germany) are Putin's main financiers...

  8. Krematorsk train station was bombed at moment when thousands civilians tried to evacuate. At least 30 dead and over 100 wounded. Numbers are probably larger. Saw short graphic video. Ukrainian sources say that cluster bombs were used...

     

    Edit: just saw few more photographs and videos...

    Sad and angy at same time... Also I hope will not meet any Putin/Russian apologist or fan today (there are many online, but here in Croatia, there are many among us - funny, almost same people with antiwaxx agenda)...

     

    Edit2. On missle was written "for children" in russin... 

    To hell with this world where noone will stop this madness because of fear of "what might they do to us if we try smth"

    I know it looks like a ghost town and images of the dead in the streets and flowers and pictures placed where the dead where. The dead being buried in the yards.  It boogles the mind how this is happening and Putin and the Russians are getting away with it. No amount of sanctions are helping the Ukraine people. The whole country will be demolished by the time Putin takes the capital which he will one day soon. And what kills me is Nato knows this and still does nothing HUGE to stop it.

    At this point it is nit likely it will go that way. Capital is no longer at reach, and Russia needs to concetrate at their minimum goal - eastern front - to try and conquer complete Donbas and Luhansk oblasts... Ukraine is large country, with 45 mil people. Also, they have war experience and many veterans activated. Also, they have help from west in inteligence and weapon. Russia cannot aford to send everything they have in Ukraine since they already have some hostile/semi hostile parts of federation to keep calm under soldiers boots. I guess that long and hard battle is comin in east in next days, since Ukraine now have selfconfidence and support from west and probably won't quit easily...

    I have a Yugoslavian flag on display in my basement, along with a number of Yugoslavian AKs. (Zastava M70) I have seen some videos about what happened there, and met some Bosnians and Serbians who spoke of it as well. Terrible things. I'm glad you made it through that. 

    I always appreciated how beefed up the Yugoslavian AKs were. They made them to withstand the recoil from launching rifle grenades, so they are heavier and built more solid than most other AKs out there. After my first one, all subsequent AK purchases have been Yugoslavian or Serbian (the newer ones)

    I happen to have a few Croatian made magazines as well. 

    Yep, we are obviously good in making weapons... At least small one...

    And images from Mariupol remind me of Vukovar during Croatian independence war. In the end, there was no building left standing. Many civilans, wounded from hospital ended in mass graves assembled during occupation. All done under Yugoslav flag and red star - so those 2 things are not so popular in Croatia...

    Internment camps in the US is another. 

    And for those wondering about Red Army crimes, check "Mass suicide in Demmin" and continue...

    I went to school in Yugoslavia so none of this couldn't be heard (just like in eastern Germany). Only in highschool (after Yugoslavia felt apart) I learned about crimes Russians did... It was strange since, only thing we learned before was black/white version - only Germans did fault things.

    After few years, when I learned about condition in other eastern countries I felt lucky Yugoslavia refused Russia early after WW2. But still, as any other nondemocratic, socialist, communst country we had enough of our problems which escalated in 1990s and our wars...

    Some Germans were good, yes. But of course I wouldn't go around saying "Oh not all Nazis were bad." because people will make assumptions as it's obviously a very emotional and loaded topic. And in general they were scumbags. I cried when I saw the film Valkyrie. There's a monument to those people who tried to assassinate Hitler, it says "You do not bear the shame."

    Yeah, I've heard the allies did some bad things. Can't think of anything off the top of my head though.

    Well - nukes on 2 cities must come to you I guess.

    On a more positive note, Russia has indeed withdrawn forces from everywhere except the South-East, they are obviously regrouping to better control the Donbas region. Hopefully this signifies a change in strategy, a more reduced objective of just capturing and holding those more Russia-friendly regions, and not to capture a large part of Ukraine. But of course, this could just be a temporary measure, what will be interesting to see is what they will do if (or when) they get control in the entire Donbas - will they be happy with this or again send troops further into Ukraine?

    I suspect this withdrawal is going to bring escalation on eastern front, or usage of chemical (or worse) weapon in abandoned territory... I don't have faith in good intentions of Russian side...

    What does it say?

    few hundred cars rally in mourning because fall of Berlin Wall (my interpretation).

    This tweet says 5000 cars (number is way exaggerated) in support for Russia:

     

    Don't see any one driving ladas or trabants - only "fascist" western brands.

     

    And of all cities in the world - to mourn over USSR (those flags were there also) in Berlin is just...

  15. Putin did not rape girls and women in front of their mothers/children, did not kill blindfolded civilians, did not pull teeth from men and women, old and young...

    Russians did, many of them... and they cannot hide behind Putin, goverment propaganda,brainwashing or smth similar...

    Why not? The Nazis technically didn't do everything they could've done to the Jews at all times. So why is that different?

    If Russia went all-in they get annihilated in the nuclear apocalypse.

    This. It's not restraint - it is common sense....

    Since Trump wanted to dissolve NATO we’d probably just have seen Putin take Ukraine and move on. 

    Russia (not Putin himself, because one man cannot do all this...) would be in Poland, and Baltic states by now in that case...

    Is that because of a moral consideration or a military limitation?

    Ukraine and its military isn't Chechnya nor Syria.  It is receiving a lot of military assistance from the West that is incomparable to what those in Chechnya or Syria received.  Russia's ability to flatten cities seems more limited partly due to the lethal pushback by the Ukrainian military and people. 

    Because I'm looking at images of Mariupol and I'm not seeing a huge difference between the state of that city and cities like Grozny.  According to reports, 90 percent of Mariupol has been destroyed.  In addition, all shipments of medical supplies, food, water, and electricity has been cut off.  Over 200k people are still trapped and facing starvation while living in ruins.  This does not seem like restraint or a situation that's incomparable to what Russia did in Grozny.  

    This!

     

    Russia is limited by resistance from Ukraine. Mariupol looks just like Grozny - no real difference. 

    In other parts, they cannot do this because of current defense forces. Also, they still don't own the sky - those are the main and probably the only reasons why are they are holding back - not moral.

    And I guess it's time to abandon narrative that this is Putin sole action - it's Russia. Yes, they have some resistance, but most videos I saw - show old and young support "special military operation"...

    I personally think Mariupol is going to tell us a lot. The Ukrainian fighters there seem to be the most fanatical. If that falls I think that could be a big domino that leads to a Ukrainian collapse. On the other hand, if they keep holding out there, they may grind the Russians down to a point where they back off.

    We (noone) still don't know what is Russian ultimate goal... I belive  every day Mariupol stands defended gives the rest of Ukraine time and space to organize its defence and even to get weapons from the west for some kind of countetattack... Also, Odesa is defended in Mariupol.

    Sadly, the cost is already great, and if it falls will be even greater - there are already news of thousands taken and realocated somewhere in Russia...
