They are not the only German party demanding that, but they are by far the biggest.
they are known in Russia. I think they visited Russia before the war, after which time fantasy scenarios about the new world order had surfaced in Kremlin. That Germany and Russia have a historical right to divide the Europe, one more time
Before the war and more importantly during it. The last visite by three high ranking AfD members was less then 10 days ago. The last visit before that was one month earlier during November and because it would be unfair to only visit but never recieve any visitors, Maximilian Krah and Petr Bystron, two prominent AfD members, had allready brought suspected Russian spy (polish national) Janusz Niedźwiecki along for a visit of the Bundestag.

Ammo depot by Russian base in Syria blown up. Probably had some Russian stuff in it. Not entirely sure Russia isn't regrouping for an attack vs leaving. Russian bases in Libya might be next?

More Russian bases , oil depots and refineries hit by missiles.

More mystery drones flying over NATO areas.

Looks like Ukraine just assassinated one of Putin's top generals, supposedly one overseeing his nukes. Good on them.

But imune vs anti-tank mines.
Older models need more weight to trigger, and newer use vibrations/noise :idea:

I also heard if you drink enough vodka you are immune to mines

This is litereally the most idiotic thing I read this month.
Scooter or any ultra light vechicle doesn't need to bother with AT mines, it has to bother with AP mines.

Not to mention you will have to deal with artillery, shrapnels and drones long before you even get to the minefields.

Mobility is mobility, bicycles were used during first and second world wars. We know Ukraine uses civilian vehicles extensively too - they’ve shown so in videos, news reports and more, to get men in and out of zones…

At least the scooter is one life per drone instead of 5. But context is everything. Was the scooter a front line assault, or troop mobility of 3 heading somewhere miles behind the front.

I wouldn’t take such videos to imply being indicative of the entire front. I seem to remember being told the Russians only had shovels to attack with, and that was 2+ years ago…

I don't believe Russia or Ukraine when it comes to casualty numbers. Likewise with the state or condition of armaments. Both sides use such figures for their own propaganda purposes. Frankly, this is particularly true of Ukraine and Russia, both of whom are well known for their tendency for corruption and lies. Neither side can be trusted to tell the truth about...anything really.
