Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Ukrainians have been extremely successful at attacking and destroying Russian tanks. Not sure of the figure without looking it up again but over 2,000 of them so far. The weapons used are western supplied. Javilin, Stinger and NLAW. They are self guided to the target, you don't point at the tracks or anywhere else, just have the tank in the sights and it does the rest. They are designed to target the top of the tank as that has the least amount of amour. Russia does not have these and after nearly a year of this war still does not have any. Although they do have their drones which I guess will still be a challenge. Some of the new western tanks will of cause get destroyed, they will be in the frontline but they offer far better protection. -
Which countries are sending tanks to Ukraine and what comes next?

Ukrainian tank crews have arrived in the UK to begin training for their continued fight against Russia. The UK will provide Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine alongside global partner nations - demonstrating the strength of support for Ukraine, internationally. https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1619649875095822336 -
Strange deflection my post was about his phone call to KTVU. Why didn't the video get released before, apparently both prosecution and defense had objections however that's irrelevant now as its released and the truth is out without further need for the conspiracy nonsense. David DePape's defense lawyer calls bodycam release 'disrespectful' The defense attorney for the illegal immigrant accused of attacking California Rep. Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer in October called the release of police bodycam video of the incident "disrespectful" Friday and warned that it could jeopardize his client's right to a fair trial.

Yep, unbelievable, it was a cold methodical statement that he was obviously reading out to the reporter. Quite the loon with his admissions. Certainly not the gay lover/escort, some conspiracy theorists were promoting.........

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital

Ukraine: ‘Fast-track’ talks underway for missiles, planes Ukraine and its Western allies are engaged in “fast-track” talks on the possibility of equipping the invaded country with long-range missiles and military aircraft, a top Ukrainian presidential aide said Saturday. Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Ukraine’s supporters in the West “understand how the war is developing” and the need to supply planes capable of providing cover for the armored fighting vehicles that the United States and Germany pledged at the beginning of the month. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-zelenskyy-politics-government-donetsk-119eacfc993491b4b66a117ddfe91696 -
I noticed this reported a few hours ago but wasn't sure if it was fake or not but other media also now reporting, this is the original source. DePape made a phone call to news TV after the video was aired. The full taped recording and transcript in the link, here's a snippet. DePape in bizarre phone call to KTVU says he should have been 'more prepared' In the chilling and bizarre phone call, he apologized for not going further. "I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad. I'm so sorry I didn't get more of them. It's my own fault. No one else is to blame. I should have come better prepared," he says. https://www.ktvu.com/news/depape-in-bizarre-phone-call-to-ktvu-says-he-should-have-been-more-prepared

If they stay peaceful it would be tremendous. Mostly peaceful protests held across the U.S. after release of Tyre Nichols footage Numerous mostly peaceful protests were held across the U.S. following Friday's release of body camera footage of the killing of Tyre Nichols. All five officers involved in Nichols' arrest were fired and charged with second-degree murder, assault and kidnapping earlier this week. Protests in some cities led to the calling of the National Guard, while others affected transit. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/27/1152255708/memphis-police-killing-tyre-nichols-protests

Not sure why they added North Korea's displeasure to this article, nothing to do with them although they are making money selling military supplies to Russia now. But good news so far with the tank commitments from countries. West to deliver 321 tanks to Ukraine, says diplomat, as North Korea accuses US of ‘crossing the red line’ Western countries will deliver more than 300 tanks to Ukraine, Kyiv’s ambassador to France said Friday. “As of today, numerous countries have officially confirmed their agreement to deliver 321 heavy tanks to Ukraine,” Vadym Omelchenko told French TV station and CNN affiliate BFM television. He did not specify which countries would provide the tanks or provide a breakdown of which models. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/27/world/ukraine-tanks-western-allies-intl-hnk/index.html -
Good. No other way to deal with murderers like this. Unfortunately the situation has been deteriorating badly and an escalation like this was predicted. 2022 Among Deadliest Years for Palestinians in West Bank, Middle East Peace Process Coordinator Tells Security Council Speakers Criticize Organ’s Longstanding Failure to Resolve Conflict, End Occupation Amid a situation in a downward spiral, marked by an increase in violence across the Occupied Palestinian Territory, determined actions by both parties are urgently needed to reverse negative trends on the ground, the senior United Nations official for the Middle East peace process told the Security Council today, cautioning delegates that a failure to address the root causes of the escalation will only worsen an already explosive situation. https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/2022-among-deadliest-years-palestinians-west-bank-middle-east-peace-process-coordinator-tells-security-council

The fact is as stated by the attacker. It was politcal.

It was DePape who made it politcal. The video contains his audio tape and confession to police.

Well done Poland!! Poland to send 60 modernised tanks to Ukraine in addition to Leopards WARSAW, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Poland will send an additional 60 tanks to Ukraine on top of the 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks it has already pledged, the Polish prime minister said in an interview with Canadian television on Thursday. Warsaw, which has positioned itself as one of Kyiv's staunchest allies, had pressed hard for Germany to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and to allow other countries to do so as well, a demand which Berlin agreed to on Wednesday. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/poland-send-60-modernised-tanks-ukraine-addition-leopards-2023-01-27/ -
There go all the stupid conspiracies by the right wing. Crazy they had to go through this appalling incident while disgusting people making false claims about it. Elon Musk should start the ball rolling with a public apology.

I suspect the conspiracy theorists will be a little quieter now after seeing this horrific footage. Personally I'd say they've got some apologies to post. Shame on everyone of them who cast doubt and spread lies. This was a sick attack and Paul is still recovering after all this time. No doubt some further idiotic questions will be raised by the usual suspects. New updated OP here https://aseannow.com/topic/1284762-court-releases-video-of-attack-on-paul-pelosi

Tyre Nichols: Five Memphis police officers charged over death

*Deleted post edited out* ignore them, its evidenced already in this thread how they take simple statements out of context and turn them into something they're plainly not. Desperation to deflect. -
Tyre Nichols: Five Memphis police officers charged over death

Context: Tyre's family “I want each and every one of you to protest in peace. I don’t want us burning up our city, tearing up the streets because that is not what my son stood for,” said Wells. “If you guys are here for Tyre and me, then you will protest peacefully.” Dozens gathered at Tobey skate park on Avery to remember Nichols and show their support for his family. During a news conference on Monday, family members talked about Nichols skateboarding and shared a video of him doing what he loved. https://wreg.com/news/local/tyre-nichols/i-dont-want-us-burning-up-our-citytyre-nichols-mother-asks-for-peaceful-protests/ Video of her speech and full transcript here: Calling for calm: Family of Tyre Nichols asks for protests to remain peaceful after police footage is released https://www.kcra.com/article/sacramento-memphis-tyre-nichols-police-bodycam/42682073 Full statement in press release link from Biden where snippets have been taken from various media sources: "As Americans grieve, the Department of Justice conducts its investigation, and state authorities continue their work, I join Tyre’s family in calling for peaceful protest. Outrage is understandable, but violence is never acceptable. Violence is destructive and against the law. It has no place in peaceful protests seeking justice." https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/01/26/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-the-tyre-nichols-case/ Its more than clear he was echoing the words of Tyre's family.
