Russia must pay and repent according to this French gentleman…
Russians laugh at pronouncements like this…
You see, the Russians are responsible for the crimes of Stalin, who was a Georgian. And the Ukrainians in 1930s had their own state, which did all the nasty shit to them. It wasn’t the Russians. But Russians must be defeated and indoctrinated with cuckold propaganda.
I wonder, are Ukrainians ever dying? The slow advance of the Russians is paid for by countless lives of Ukrainian defenders. And while the Ukrainians have created a fine defense and their drone warfare puts Russia to shame, Russia is advancing. They took Avdeevka, Bakhmut, Pokrovsk and are poised to take Konstantinovka. And I believe that sooner or later, the Ukrainian defense will collapse. Without Ukrainians, no amount of Western help will be enough. And Russia should maintain the pressure, in fact Russia could up the ante. Although I am not sure the leadership of Russia wants the latter.
And to be frank, Russia incurs large losses, and the Ukrainian strategy was to try inflict maximum pain with NATO help to make Russia stop but for Russia the price is NATO aligned and dangerous Ukraine. So tell me, what price is worth it? Without pacification and realignment of Ukraine or at least large part of it, the war would likely flare up in the future. So Russia has to do the job right now, they have no choice.
And it is gone. Ukrops like to decorate various landmarks with peaces of cloth like some steppe nomads, which only confirms their culture is savage and they need to be civilized by a stronger brother to the East.
80% of Ukrainians fought in the Red Army, so did my great grandfather. If it wasn’t for Molotov-Ribbentrop, Western Ukraine would still be part of Poland and would undergo polonization. Despite Stalin’s repressive apparatus and famines, the man has achieved something no other government of Ukraine did, unite the East and West. Also, 1956 and 1968 was motivated by Hungarian and Czechoslovak communists begging with the Soviet government to save them. And many Ukrainians took part in suppression of the Prague Spring, like Klitschko the elder. Ukraine was just as commie or even more than Russia, and Ukrainians did a lot to prop up that system. They did nothing to atone for this, they just said Russia is guilty of everything.
Also, I don’t think the Russians need to do shit, they don’t owe anyone anything…
So, the Western media have rehashed this story about Putin hiding in the bunker, where this time he has been chased by the amazing Ukrainian drone campaign. And while Ukraine has been quite successful in creating trouble for Russia, it still remains to be seen if Western propaganda doesn’t exaggerate its impact.
Putin is fearing a coup, apparently. As if hiding in the bunker will save him from a coup. A coup in Russia is the globalist’s best hope for victory now. This is what they wanted from day one, since 2013 and perhaps earlier. Creating conflicts around Russia, supporting unfriendly regimes, sanctions, were all supposed to undermine Putin. I am not sure there is any will in Russia, among the common people or the elite to self sabotage themselves by removing the head.
PS: The last time Putin was in the bunker, he visited 12 countries in the end…
So, not so long after news of Ukrainian soldiers going hungry at the front and showing signs of malnutrition has been circulating in Ukrainian media, and then within a weak the Ukrainian secret service came up with stories about Russian troops going hungry and resorting to cannibalism. This is not the first time Ukrainians have reversed what is happening. I recall back in 2014, the Czech media said the Russians did something when it was the Ukrainians, who did it. Future historians of this conflict will have a daunting task of separating fact from fiction. One would think that in the age of the Internet, independent bloggers and freedom of press, it would be easier.
Ukraine has discriminatory attitude against minorities. This is one of the reasons Russian speaking territories in the east seceded. Ukraine claims this is because of Russian interference, and yes it partially is but if it wasn’t for Ukraine abolishing the language law, the Russians wouldn’t find a fertile ground for separatism, and Ukraine would not have lost control over Donetsk and Lugansk.
I am not sure why they are still dangling the EU membership in front of Ukraine, knowing full well that Ukraine is nowhere ready to join the EU. And telling nationalist Ukraine to give up territory is like red rag for a bull. I am no longer on Twitter but I can imagine the indignation in Tweets from Ukrainian nationalists. Their ideology is all or nothing and war with the Moskali.
Even though, Russia’s demands are totally acceptable from liberal human rights positions. Rights for Russian speakers, stop the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, denazification, that is do away with radical nationalism, and keep the military on the low. The loss of territories will deprive Ukraine from the most economically productive lands but also the most Russified. And adopting liberal values of tolerance and ditching nationalism will calm things down for many decades to come. Small army will mean Ukraine could dedicate funds to better the lives of people instead.
But I am a dreamer and my visions might sound like an utopia.
Ukraine has money for two years of war, there is no chance Russia will win this. The Germans are clear, Putin will destroy himself and his country.
Two years of war being financed refers to €90 billion loan from the EU that was recently unblocked. Russia is said to be deteriorating economically while Ukraine has its bills covered.😆👌
ISW and Moscow Times say that Ukraine can win in 2026.
The Ukrainians are on the roll. The are driving the occupiers from tactical positions, even from Pokrovsk. Russia is meanwhile falling into a deep crisis.
Lot of hope is being put at Ukrainian counteroffensives and Russia’s economic woes. But we have been hearing this song for several years. And yet, Russia keeps grinding on economically and the front moves westwards…
