You dont get to be rich in Russia unless you can eliminate dangers !
The seized territory would be a sideshow, practicality would out. Bit of grumbling but little else. Kinda like Crimea. If he'd done a Crimea again we wouldn't be where we are, even this thread would be a dozen or so pages long and we'd be back to "Trans midget toilets, why the need?". The difference is this time the salami burnt his mouth and gave him an awful dose of the liquid sitdowns. If anything him invading in a mad murderous run has sealed his fate and will put off others trying similar.
Whatever else they are, Iran are consistent in support of anti imperialist causes and they recognise Putins actions as blatant imperialism. The built there revolutionary credentials on opposing imperial power, and while now appearing to have their own thinly veiled quasi imperialist ambitions, they must still maintain the facade, as long as it doesn’t look too close to home *cough*Syria*cough*Lebanon*cough*Iraq*
I hope they do. Not exactly an encourager for a stable or popular regime
When you see a Russian solder giving up trying to get through a shop door morale is extremely low.
Not sure that’s really correct. Dumb luck, willingness to bribe Putin and never criticise him was enough to create a lot of Oligarchs from my understanding.
TripAdvisor has disabled Russian reviews.
I mean, every facet of Russian life is now under target - and rightly so, in my opinion.
The question becomes: will this embolden Putin as it serves as evidence that the West is out to "get Russia", or will it serve to embolden support against the Putin dictatorship?
In Communist Russia, door slams you!
Not being smart but this isn't helpful 😕
At the moment the scumbags are blowing the s*ite out of Ukrainian cities. Facts verified by all broadcasting.
Heartbreaking and no amount of bs will change that
If Russia invades another country, and the Russian people think this is all a plot "to get Russia", there is literally nothing more the world can do. Just cut them off, someone shoots Putin or they just continue down this path.
Talk of martial law being introduced in Russia. It will be so that scenes like this aren't seen. This kind of stuff will resonate even with harder line Russians.
When it comes to Russia, it should be called KipAdvisor.
That might be true, but quantity has a quality all of its own. While I do believe that the Russian offensive is close to reaching its culminating point, there is still a lot of inertia due to the sheer number of Russian forces involved. The next couple of days will turn into an absolute meat grinder on the ground, I'm afraid.
Ewan Mackenna has really fallen off a cliff recently.
The point is that we all believed the Russian forces were stronger than they are.
Nobody is saying the Russians won't eventually win the war in Ukraine; in terms of initial takeover. They certainly will; they have the means.
But the logistical issues; the decline in morale among Russian troops; and the equipment, are not exactly a great look for the Russian military.
The Ukraine stands no chance with all the Missile Strikes and more Shelling by tanks - when the ground troops get into the citys they'll kill Civilians wholesale.
Tens of Thousands of Ukranians will be erased by Putins army in the coming weeks
But Russia is a nuclear power.
There is literally nothing anyone else can do (except support the resistance, of course).
This is zero indication of anything other than the normal things tankers and their rescue vehicles have to face when traversing soft ground. It's happened to every combatant nation since the tank was invented.
Off the range that lad. Totally off the range. Unsalvagable
No, Putin will never recover from this, not in Russia, not in the west, this is the end of a despot.
Only one problem with that analysis. The Islamic revolution came to power promising to 'export the revolution' to the rest of the M.E. They currently have proxies operating in at least 4 Arab countries. That's quite imperialist when you try and export your ideology by force.
Well surprise, surprise!
The proto-typical left-wing forces decide to minimize any criticism of this disgusting invasion of Ukraine.
As usual, as per Red Daly style, we get the kind of comment like, "But whilst Russia is not acting appropriately, we should consider [ insert apologetic comment and/or condemnation of the West as hypocrites ]".
Your probably right so all we can do is look on as the Russians kill thousands of Ukrainians ..it will be tens of thousands of dead Ukrainians by the end of March ......if they decide to take Poland next can do we just keep looking on ??
This woman a survivor of the Siege of Leningrad😕
Imagine surviving the siege of Leningrad just to be arrested for advocating against war.
What the fuck are you talking about you weirdo.
A tank stuck in the mud is no indication of the relative strength or weakness of any combatant. It happens to them all.
Tanks have pretty shit floatation over soft ground.
You would think so but I wouldn't be so sure. Unless his inner circle turn on him he's probably going nowhere.
On the contrary, Russia is a very beautiful country. Has its fair share of problems, but it’s an astounding place. Hosts a truly vibrant culture in the main cities unlike anything we have here in terms of scale or ambition. I’ve met many remarkably kind and cultured people there.
