It is NOT WP. Russia has many other incendiary devices in its arsenals.
“ This isn’t White Phosphorus, these are thermite incendiary submunitions … we’ve seen similar footage of these unguided 9M22S incendiary Grad rockets in use by the Russians in Syria countless times.…..”
Russia uses lncendiary weapons ( 9M22, 28 composition) in many of its shells and rockets. They also have many other napalm , incendiary type weapons.
That said, the use of WP is NOT illegal, the US used tons of it in Iraq, the international “ rule” only states it is illegal to use on civilians….
Once again, western MSM is caught lying.
“My mother, still living, survived Dresden.”
Anecdotal.
My mother, no longer living, survived the Blitz on England.
So when are you going to post them, liar?
More for those interested:
“ Despite some reporting to the contrary, the 9M22S does not deliver a white phosphorous payload. In fact, white phosphorous—whilst available in ‘unitary’ format munitions for incendiary use and sometimes used as an ignition source in some incendiary munitions due to its pyrophoric characteristics, is most often used for marking and screening purposes, dues to the large volume of dense, white smoke it can quickly produce. Magnesium- and thermite-based incendiary munitions, by contrast, are most often used to ignite fires in areas such as fuel depots, ammunition storage sites, and other flammable military targets. A Soviet manual for the 9M22S also specifically details the intended use of the weapon in areas of dry vegetation. Unfortunately, such munitions have also been used in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere in areas primarily or exclusively containing civilians and civilian objects.”
In short, don’t believe our lying western MSM.
At the start of this operation, Putin was hoping for a negotiated settlement. Thanks to Joe Biden, what should have been was not to be and hundreds of thousands died. The end state will be a Ukraine that does not exist or is unrecognizable.
“The firebombing of Tokyo on 09-10 March 1945 killed an estimated 100,000.”
That’s a side effect of your residental districts being made of wood and paper.

I can’t tell which video game this footage is from.
It’s real.
Actual footage.
Geolocated.
But wait, there's more!
Putin tried for over 7 years to get the Minsk accords recognized, right up to Dec. 2021. In that respect, he was like Trump, naive. The west had no intention of ever making peace in Ukraine. The west used all that time to arm Ukraine and make fortifications for war.
Merkel and Macron and others even bragged about how stupid Putin was for believing them. Putin finally apologized to the people there and said he was sorry that he didn't intervene earlier and admitted that he was indeed navie.
Vacuum bombs are worse if you’re in an enclosed area. I remember Syrian forces taking out a sniper hold up in an apartment. The initial and then secondary explosion splattered the snipers body all over the room.
The images are horrific. Fire and brimstone.
—> I’m genuinely surprised they have not used nukes yet.
This may not end unless they use a nuke before nato inserts themselves into actual combat.
died. The end state will be a Ukraine that does not exist or is unrecognizable.

Apparently now Russia is quickly building up manufacturing capacity for war equipment by increasing production at existing plants for the short term and building additional capacity for the longer term
Actually, I think he cracked. He is just a civilian acting like a bigshot with no military background at all. Last I heard, but nothing official yet, Wagner is going into R&R and being replaced by regular Russian troops, but that Chechen guy, Kadyov wants a piece of the action there, too.
Just reported that Today Russia took out a bridge just west of Bakhmut cutting of main Ukrainian supply line and escape route
It was reported days ago on Telegrams channels but now being reported by ISW

2/ Additional geolocated imagery posted on May 4 shows a destroyed Ukrainian bridge over the Siverskyi Donets Donbas Canal west of #Bakhmut near Chasiv Yar.
Russian forces made additional gains within #Bakhmut as of May 5.
Geolocated footage published on May 5 shows that Russian forces have advanced in northwestern Bakhmut towards #Khromove (directly west of Bakhmut).

Scorch earth the neo-Nazi, liberal world order thugs off the face of God green’s earth.
Cities Aflame
Yes I too heard Wagner’s going to take a rest time, basically swithching out with the Russian troops which they’ve been doing, but Ukraine media falsely says they’re retreating - heck our media knows nothing about warfare as well. I find it so laughable to hear female pundits act like they know what they’re talking about....
Chechens have been fighting on both sides...but I think the ones fighting for Ukraine are the renegades...but I could be wrong.
.... Up to now he's not been in a hurry regarding Bakhmut and people thought he took too long. They forgot the Time was in his time and he certainly wore the Ukraine army down and destroyed a lot of their machinery like a conveyor belt delivery as Zelensky kept sending in more and more troops and machinery....Putin's guys just knocked them off on after another.
The line Zelensky kept saying they were holding was nothing of the sort - Putins army just wanted that conveyor belt to keep rolling - and it did.
Looks like Dresden.
God help all the inhabitants.
