Thr Russian army is huge because the cost of building it is so low. Russia gets "hard" currency for all its gas exports from which then converts into roubles and pays its soldiers peanuts. Hence a huge army that costs a fraction to run.

Russian saboteurs halted by Ukrainian soldiers Russian troops have made an audacious attempt to penetrate the heart of the capital by stealing Ukrainian military vehicles and uniforms to pose as friendly units.

Its all over for Russia

Soli - typed words do not convey tone. I said it in a half humour way - imagine someone saying "why the fuck are you watching RT" with a chorkle.

I have a couple of Russian friends, one who has lived in the UK for a long time and one who moved back there about 10 years ago, and both are ashamed of what Putin has done. It seems that huge portions of Russia at all levels are against this. Would it be too much to hope for this to unexpectedly b...

The live newsfeed from RT is absolutely fucking insane. White dudes with both American and British accents talking up putin, trump, the GOP, etc, saying how the poor Russians were brutalized in the Donbass region all these years - I mean, there's just an endless stream of idiotic propaganda that's ...

I am not a military strategist but if the Ukranian army was a walkover shouldn't the Russian army now be in control of Kyiv?

Its approaching 48 hours with over 150K troops.

This is perfect army intelligence for NATO. They are learning a lot about Russian tactics. Putin is such a fool.

this is poignant and has a chilling ending

Putin could not live in a modern world that does not need dictators. What better way to stay relevant than to recreate the 80s cold war.

This war is nothing about Russian security and everything about Putin being yet another narcissist piece of shit.

Putin has threatened WW3 if any country from the west interfers.

He is mad enough to do it. He cannot afford lose face, he would rather see the world end than lose this war

If it all goes tits up - it was nice knowing you guys.

The Russian government has lost all credibility. They have become a cliche of themselves and have become everything the West said they are. Putin has just opened the door to Russians with 30 years of Ukraian nationalistic terrorism The social media companies in Russia should shut down their operatio...

so you cannot access the games at all?

I'll have the starter and the dessert please. No need for the main course. Thanks

The fact that Hollywood does not "get" the source material it adapts is as old as the trees.

The Powers of the Ring already looks like a shitshow, I am beyond caring now.

{edit} I mean The Rings of Power...you see - I really dont care
