I'll believe it when I see it.
A majority of Ukraine's air-force is still intact
What is your source for any of the stuff you are writing?
e.g. "Most of their fighters were destroyed on the ground on day 1" - direct source for that?
I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, but this is the second time asking for sources, and this sounds like straight up Putinbot stuff
I suspect a number of profiles here will go very quiet if there is an ignominious russian withdrawal. Here's hoping!
It is if your income is €450 per month. But, if he's driving that far its for a premium.
Plus, no need to text him. He knows how much he's paying unless a complete idiot.
Absolutely, @threeball
To quote one an old ballad,
“Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But when Padraig called me to his side down in the G.P.O.
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go”
You would deny it
Just weeks before the invasion Putin met Xi in Beijing. They issued a joint statement that said their new relationship knew ‘no limits’
Moscow and Beijing stressed that they "call for the establishment of a new kind of relationships between world powers on the basis of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation." "They reaffirm that the new inter-State relations between Russia and China are superior to political and military alliances of the Cold War era," the joint statement says.
The CCP have backtracked somewhat although they are still kind of taking out of both sides of their mouth.
Chris Chappell, a staunch critic of Xi and the CCP, alleges that the CCP may be trying to turn Russia into the next North Korea, so they will be the ones who can mediate in between.
Interesting video even if you don’t buy the conspiracy theory.
I want peace. I don't see how we get it.
Unfortunately this pic was staged.
There was an article about it and other fakes.
He'll vanish.
Premium or not, he had to move out of Dublin to keep his head above water. And now, petrol prices are spiralling.
I am sorry, I digress
Countries have grain stores. If Russian were to stop exporting to Egypt and Turkey, then they'll have to use grain stores while they switch to other producers, prices will rise, more farmers will switch crop to compensate, etc.
Russia surrenders and leaves ukraine permanently ,
Peace it's that easy
It takes us back to the idea that he gambled by invading Ukraine but the gamble blew up in his face. Analysts are convinced he thought he could take Ukraine in 2-3 days and have the Russian flag flying over Kyiv by last weekend.
The Russians are fighting for a pyrrhic victory. They will never have legitimacy in Ukraine. And that is rule number one for occupying a country
Seen him quoted multiple times here, then surprise, surprise turns out he has all these whacky notions
It's a good job we got out from under the English boot when we did. We wouldn't have a hope today.
He is hitting 70. He might not be as sharp as he used to be. He is drunk on his power. I doubt that there is many people in his inner circle willing to contradict him.
But I think that his sole objective now, win or lose, is to reestablish the Soviet Union. These ideologues don’t care the price (our plebeian blood is meaningless in their eyes or a price worth paying). The end justifies the means
The thing with a withdrawal by the Russians is that I would not put it past them to leave the Ukrainians a few presents on the way out.
Really, the Chinese are the only ones who can broker peace here.
Incredible footage of Ukrainians taking out armor with anti-tank weapons
The irony! War and militarism is not a solution to conflict. Why doesn't she tell that to the Puke Tin.
That's the problem, no matter what evidence is presented, if you only see it as fake then you'll never be convinced.
Front page of the New York Times not **** around (graphic)
China has over 50% of global grain reserves.
The rest of the world used have grain stores years ago.
This might be a long night for Ukrainians
I suspect he's broke and he's taking Putin's coin to read from a script.
They will fight valiantly and hopefully the weapons from the West will bolster their defence
It's the aloof arrogance of it.
I just offered a room on the Red Cross. Jesus it brings home just how **** awful this situation is and I also haven't a clue how I plan to set my limits on my empathy in a world with endless suffering but I have to do something.
It was good of the Russians to give the Ukranians time to get anti aircraft facilities in place. Hopefully they will do serious damage to the invaders.
