Lmfao....Brandon is more sure footed than Poots! Poots is either getting pegged in the asz, cancer, or both.

Happy you think so, r00skie.

At least Putin can speak for 5 mins without sounding like an incoherent retard.

Holy chit this cuck is retarded

Strong argument

Very intelligent reply

Dude you're probably the dumbest vatnik ITT, that video further shows that everything that comes from russian sources (on which you base your facts on) can't be trusted. That also counts for the severly higher body count of ukrainian forces vs russian forces. Not denying that Ukies die defending their country but currently russians are getting their chit pushed in which is not going to change until Putin starts general mobilization or calls it a day. The rusty nk weapons in the hands of 50 year old conscripts wont change that. Putin is just murdering his people like that.
Btw when you're in Germany you're always welcome to pay me a visit. We can do some rounds in my thaiboxing gym, see who the pussy is.

Of course. Putin is so deep into the sunk cost fallacy he can't get out, and he has no problem with throwing more bodies into the meatgrinder where any non-sociopath would have given up months ago. Three things that will end it:

1. Russia is running out actual trained military and resorting to conscript-cels to make up the diminishing infantry.

2. Running out of heavy material they can't replace at rates they're losing.

3. Running out of foreign dollars. Needed to fight and also to prop up the Ruble, and when they can't afford this supply/demand just sets the value and Ruble is worthless. Half their war chest is frozen, billions is in gold they'd never touch, and 150 bill is spent. They're bleeding big time and the energy revenues are just a bandaid on an open wound. As long as the sanctions are in place, the bandage can't stem the flow and will end the invasion.

probably so the global homo stops sending weapons into ukriane a hole

"Muh Nato, Muh Ukraine"

Vatnik arguments getting destroyed

Vatniks using bad maintained and old soviet crap lol

hows the kherson counteroffensive going?

Good, your boys are getting smashed in the south and now the Urkainian forces opened a second front in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile partisan fighters are making russian life hard in occupied cities.

1. Russian media tore him a new ******* for emplacement of conscripts in and around the capital while the experienced fighters attacked Mariupol. This is the only known instance of conscripts touching Ukraine soil as they are not allowed to leave Russia. LPR/DPR/Wagner are the fighting forces. The losses may be in the 20k range with RF being less than 25% as they are not fighting, I don't care to debate the issue with people not paying attention and are so flippant as to make a conscript claim.

2. No one knows what materiel Russia possesses. Similar claims have been made previously. Since then, millions of rounds of artillery, rockets, and thousands of cruise missiles have been fired. You cannot feelings your way into an outcome to war, only provide estimations based on what has happened and is happening.

3. US in recession. EU in recession. Inflation is biting all of us world wide. Energy concerns grows to crisis in EU amd new trade volume with India and China. OPEC kicks G7 in nuts and reduces output to keep prices high while China denies price cap on Russian oil export.

We're all in a tail spin while false hope is given to a war front that the truth cannot break out to the public due to these same nation's involvement saving embarrassment.

We are empowering Russia and China and weakening and splintering Europe. At this very moment we are asking European people to decimate their economies in an attempt to break Russia.

What happens if we don't break Russia and we break Europe? It's looking that way to me as a real possibility.

Why is any of this good? This is existential to Russia. They have nuclear weapons. We should be trying to negotiate out a settlement and end to the war. Backing Russia into a corner is not a wise move.

Sanctions will get lifted and a peace deal will be made. That's the best possible thing that can happen. Russia needs to win this war.

Media did a fine job. If only they knew what they were supporting...

"The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the enemy stopped large-scale offensive operations in the Kherson direction due to the losses incurred. During the day, 1 MiG-29 and 1 Su-25 were shot down there. The enemy also suffered losses in people and equipment. 4 tanks, 11 AFVs and more than 150 people were destroyed."

looks like the zerg rush isnt going so well lol

Flat. Probably 4-5k dead. Huge mistake attempting to rush a heavily mined flat plane with overwhelming artillery from that same direction.
Ukraine has driven through the line on the Izyum front to Balakleya and are currently consolidating there. I spoke before about Ukraine having to stop Russia from taking Kharkiv and Odessa. This is the western flank.

As far as Odessa that may be a wrap on the failure Ukraine experienced there. I cannot see how they can defend the land to Odessa with the current Russian strategy. There are numerous reinforcements inbound along with the 3rd Brigade already in place.

So no. Ukrainian has had success for the first time in the east and it is the beginning of it so do not get too happy yet but it is very noteworthy and will be a success if they can hold onto it and keep the lines open.

And no. Russia was not "smashed" in the south. It was a slaughter over the last week 10-15 casualties, 5k dead.

Give it some time. Russia has taken the minimum this far in the war. They could do things like redirect food supply away from Europe, assume more land amd so on. I see them just now beginning to retaliate and start to tighten the leverage screws. Something they have apparently avoided thus far and only flirted with.

Now that the fuel severance is taking place, other items should be much more bold as the economic impact will be to the western recipients.

OK so what if a country has a coup and passes racist laws, and people want to secede? Why defend sovereignty then? The sovereignty of Ukraine ended during the revolution. Kotkin didn't think Putin would invade, and now he is acting like it is totally obvious and predictable. What about how Putin was on a timer? What about the literal fascists in Ukraine? What about all the times the Kremlin fuking helped us? Kotkin is fuking wrong. He's repeating the same chit everyone has. He's missing the threat NATO presents. He's missing the threat the nazis in Ukraine present. He's missing the damn history of the Crimean war and why Crimea and access to the Black Sea matters. We saw Putin WAIT 8 years and try 29 times for peace. He could have totally smashed Ukraine in 2014. This was not a choice. It was a security trap for Putin. We were arming Ukraine. They were building up. If Putin had not acted, he'd eventually lose Crimea and face potential terrorism staged from Ukraine, along with a permanent hostile foe blocking their access to the Black Sea, which then disrupts Russia's trade and military strategies with countries like Syria.

This is from Carnegie Endowment:

"Moscow depends on the Black Sea for access to the Mediterranean and beyond, both for military operations outside its immediate neighborhood and for exports of Russia’s main commodity (hydrocarbons). Moscow sees the Mediterranean as largely NATO-dominated, but it hopes to spot opportunities to make political, economic, and military inroads with key regional states, as it has done in Syria. For example, Russia eyes opportunities to expand its influence in Mediterranean countries like Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Libya, and Turkey."

I have listened to Kotkin's work for many hours. He is an expert on Stalin, but he is biased in seeing things from Stalin's POV. He is not a historian of Putin. Ukraine was being armed and becoming a DE FACTO NATO partner. And it is not their free choice. The whole point is that NATO isn't a cool kid club. It is a security organization. Bringing it to Russia's doorstep with a hostile regime is the very definition of provocation. Putin would have been committing malfeasance if he did nothing. He had no choice. The realists are right. Kotkin's wrong. The real world works like this. The international laws only work when the parties involved feel their security concerns are met and they can resolve disputes in a fair and just manner without being threatened. Treaties, law, and institutions are tools and means to ends, not ends in and of themselves. The end is always PEACE and security.

A Russian scholar said "We want them to implement Minsk 2, but if not, there is always plan B." He said this a month before the attack. Plan B is always a fuking option. Plan B is how the world actually works. Realism never goes away. Liberalism and those institutions only exist if the trust is there. Trust and goodwill must be built, not squandered.

The Russians have told us multiple times why they attacked. No one is listening. No one is looking at it from their POV. No one hears their screams. And that is a dangerous thing because Russia is not to be trifled with or silenced.

It is the antithesis of peace and the very founding principles of the UN to completely ignore the security concerns of great powers. And people often bring up Ukraine and its concerns. Well, the Russian Ukrainians are Ukrainians too. And they have a right to self determination. Blind nationalism and cries of sovereignty will never excuse bringing fuking nazism back and trying to whitewash genocidal murderers. Having a coup and marginalizing your own people as you seek to build an ethnostate, revise history at an institutional level, and "derussify" Ukraine makes me question the importance of your security concerns when weighed against your nuclear powered neighbor who patiently is watching you transform into a threat.

That 3 of the 5 great powers that triumphed over nazis would then conspire to help them purely to bring Russia to her knees is not only morally wrong, but strategically inviting a catastrophic war.

Everyone keeps downplaying and ignoring the nazi angle when it is absolutely germaine to Russia's casus belli. It's why Russia will begrudgingly tolerate the Baltics and Finland and Sweden being in NATO, but not Ukraine. You need to understand the geographical context of Ukraine and the culture of Ukraine to see why this is happening. And you must also understand the culture of Russia and why they would react so violently to this brand of nationalism resurging. It explains everything, starting with the separatists' decisions all the way to Putin's and Lukashenko's actions.

Again, the Russian media is not in lockstep with the government there. The media is embedded with the military and milbloggers are permitted to report on the battlefield. There are plenty of ******** channels on any piece of the front you chose to want to see, should you actually want to know what is going on by footage and geolocation.

There's even a channel dedicated to the running count of actual dead, captured, and remaining real-life neo-Nazis of Ukraine military and government. There's thousands of them. It's pretty wild.

One day when I have the time I need to research why it's so popular there. I know it was occupied by the SS in WWII but have no clue how it could remain, grow, and become part of government.

So no. The whole I'm rubber you're glue shtick doesn't work. There are literal Nazis in Ukraine, in theor government, and fighting on the battlefield against Russia right now. No matter how oddly you flex and find a weirdo or two in the ranks of Russia, Nazis control(ed) an area of Ukraine and a portion of Government there. Even if insignificant in the big picture, which I think it may be, Ukrainian Nazism was enough to steam the war by garnering the Russian peoples support to defeat their traditional foe. Each and everyone of the population has a relative dead from the Germans.

The Russians weren't the ones passing laws trying to erase Ukrainians and sanitize the history of nazi collaborators. They do not wear the wolfsangel, tattoo the nazi swastika, and gather in the night with torches, praising Bandera and Shukhevych. They do not form armed militias to kill their fellow Ukrainian citizens.

Ukraine has tried to reaffirm its "identity" via a systematic process of ethnic purification. They seek to erase the Russians who live there. The entire world is ignoring this. They are ignoring what caused the separatism and the war in Donbass. You can argue that it isn't most of Ukraine that has fallen under this influence. But it doesn't have to be. As long as they have people in their government working to this end and passing laws to this end, they are an existential danger to Russia. That we would arm and aid this group presents an even greater threat to Russia and a betrayal of the highest order.

"Hohols need to make it seem like things are progressing for at least the next 24 hours in order to get their next set of gibs. If there is one thing SMO taught me, they will do anything for gibs. I expect nonstop shilling and disinfo until the meeting is done. Also throwing in whatever reserves it takes. Its going to be ****ing retarded for at least 24-48 hours."

How's the DeAd B oDieS on TeH Sh0rE GoIn?


fukkin lol you propaganda fraud. NO ONE is letting you live that one down. Grade A retard. Peak vatnik.
