Well, as an infantryman he’s useless but as an artillery / mortar operator as deadly as young’uns. Don’t worry about us, we’re fine.

Are you allergic to citing your posts by linking the source? In every thread you are the only poster who seems incapable of doing so. It’s practically more difficult to make these posts without linking the source than it is to include the link. Why do you insist on it?
And as always, thank you to the majority of posters for making this an incredible real time resource to keep up to date on an ever evolving situation. I greatly appreciate all of your insight.

Are you referring to the quote that stated ‘Reuters confirms’ or the BBC screenshot with the text under credited to Gordon @ BBC?
If you scroll down about 6 pages you’ll see the first here - there are no direct links, as has been stated numerous times.
Happy scrolling (see 2hrs ago)

Putin orders Russia’s nuclear deterrence forces on high alert, US attacks ‘unacceptable’ escalation
Andrew Roth, The Guardian
Russian president Vladimir Putin has ordered his military to put the country’s nuclear deterrence forces on high alert in response to “aggressive statements” by Nato countries.
The order, which was announced by the state-run Tass news agency, came at a meeting between Putin, defence minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the general staff of the armed forces of Russia, Valery Gerasimov.
“Senior officials of the leading Nato countries also allow aggressive statements against our country, therefore I order the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff [of the Russian Armed Forces] to transfer the deterrence forces of the Russian army to a special mode of combat duty,” Putin said in the statement.
It is not immediately clear what the “special mode of combat duty” entailed. Putin has warned foreign countries not to interfere in his ongoing invasion of Ukraine , saying it could lead to “consequences they have never seen”. He has positioned anti-air missiles and other advanced missile systems in Belarus and deployed his fleet to the Black Sea in an effort to prevent a western intervention in Ukraine.
The Russian invasion has left hundreds dead. Russia has launched missile strikes against buildings in Kyiv , Kharkiv and other major Ukrainian cities as it threatens an all-out assault not seen since the time of the second world war.
The US responded that this was an “unacceptable” escalation, US ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on Sunday.
“It means that President Putin is continuing to escalate this war in a manner that is totally unacceptable and we have to continue to stem his actions in the strongest possible way,” Thomas-Greenfield said in interview with CBS’ Face the Nation.
Thanks, you’re amazing. Yeah, I know who to link to the BBC live but then the ‘where’s the link’ brigade turns into the ‘why do you keep posting the same link’ brigade, hence the screenshot instead.
And here’s your last one.
Why not just include the link?

If you click on the link I posted, it takes you directly to the story you’re quoting. It’s not that hard. There’s literally a “share” button beneath each post in the feed.

how good of a munition do you expect a home made molotov cocktail to be?
finland isn’t to be messed with
In the BBC yes. Guardian only has the I wanna tweet this and facebook link - neither of which work for me as I don’t do Twitter or Facebook (only the best sources for me)
Seems to be a trust thing? I mean, I believe that arrow among the masses in WS does actually point to you but who knows, maybe we should demand fuller proof of this claim

If you click on the timestamp on the individual post in the Guardian feed (13:17 in the example below), it gives you a URL that will take users directly to that post.
No timestamps for me - only on the main story which is now 2 hours old.
