I don't think they've ever dropped paratroopers into a hostile country. It's one thing dropping them into a communist european country in the 80s to help prop up a friendly administration against protestors. It's another thing entirely to drop into a country where every citizen, even the Russian speakers, hate you and want to kill you.
You are confusing “upset” with incredulity that there are so many utterly gullible people around
"What's wrong with the Chinese and the House of Saud 'integrating' in European countries"
Well one of them has hundreds of concentration camps set up for people they don't like, such as the Uighurs. The other shower will march women out into the town square after their mass on a Friday and literally cut their heads off for being 'witches'.
They should be told that 'what ever way they feel like' can f**k right off if they think they can 'integrate' that diabolical $hit over here
They can't get out because they have nothing to show thus far other than thousands of dead Russian soldiers, 10% of their battle materiel destroyed and Ukraine's government and people still standing strong. Putin now sees this as the survival of Russia. Pulling out would show such weakness and such a failure militarily, that he feels it would not only be personally politically catastrophic but puts Russia at risk. Hence he'll keep the battering ram going no matter how many need to die.
This is why negotiations have been focussed on finding Russia an 'off ramp', to no avail thus far.
Yup. If you were anti-mask and/or antivax, now it's time to start going on about nazis in Ukraine, biological research and NATO encroachment. At least that's what I'm seeing so far.
Funny that.
Oh no! And I would have gotten away with it too if it werent for those darn kids!!!
They tried ,but they lost several il76 aircraft all of the men aboard earlier on in the first week or so ,
Trying to Land an airborne assault in a hostile country , with no aircover or forces on the ground holding a secure airfield ,poor sods never stood a chance
knock it off, the final solution during WW2 is not what was referred to, it was a solution that is final to the Ukraine/Russia debacle thats been dragging on since the dissolution of the USSR, both parties cant keep agreeing non-binding agreements every ten years then one side or the other breaking or making known their intention to break it
They cannot lose this war or be seen to lose this war. Putin is all in now, so don't be surprised if they do some real nasty **** to get it over the line.
But bit but both sides, eh Mr Lavrov?
I hope Putin is correct.
I hope he is correct that the west is an existential threat to Russia, that Russia's survival is in question.
Because it needs to be. Russia needs to be broken up into little pieces. The threat of Russian nationalism - an ultra malignant cancer in the rectum of humanity - is far too grave for it to be allowed rise ever again after this.
Newly created independent states of Tatarstan, Dagestan, Bashkortostan, Siberia, a Chechnya free of Kadyrov, Ingria, Muscovy and whatever you're having yourself would be welcome additions to the map.
They could be within a Ukrainian sphere of influence.
Russian paratroopers were dropped into Karkiyv over a week ago. Videos including those they recorded themselves are on TikTok.
Where would you place the Kadyrovski fighters in your List? These boys are far from being 18 year old green conscripts....and look at what happened to them?
Kremlin bots are getting nuked on Twitter
we're going to run into a talking points crisis here
ps:
Good Riddance !
1 of the usual suspects
So this is apparently ok now at least in some countries.
I personally wouldn't mind if Russian hackers took aim at Facebook for this.
We're back to Putin the rat. Should he get a golden bridge to retreat or should he be left do what rats do when they're cornered?
Well, then the question is, why have we let non compatible countries have a foothold in Europe, such that now we have to kick them out, but it's all a bit too late.
We certainly must stop buying China tech, but then again, that's iPhones manufactured in China by the Americans. Complicated.
Just when I was thinking of setting up my own. 😫

Meta Platforms will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of Ukraine invasion, according to emails seen by Reuters, in a temporary change to its hate speech policy
That is some fecked up policy
Meta Platforms will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in a temporary change to its hate speech policy.
Basically allowing people to incite violence against what may be innocent Russians - sooner Facebook dies a death the better (yeah double standards I know 😀)
This immature level of retort is getting really tiresome. Anyone not toeing the 'all Russians bad' line is a Putin-bot, pro-Russia cheerleader, or Mr Lavrov.
True.
You are requiring us to believe that you are incredibly stupid to not realise the implications of 'Final Solution' in the context of European wars. So, whatever.
What could possibly go wrong?
How does this nonsense help anything?
Ridiculous. Most of those soldiers either don't understand what any of this is about or don't want to be there at all.
And to allow calls for violence on Russians too whose only crime is the lack of independent media from which to hear the truth.
Read the article Mr Lavrov. Why shouldn’t people defending their cities in Ukraine be allowed to actively seek to repel the aggressors.
But but but both sides gobsh*te
He should, and will, at some stage be strung up but should they start from the outside and work their way in. I mean he has the Ukrainian presidents family on a hit list so maybe start with those close to putins mistress, the gymnist.
No. All Russians are not bad. Russians are people like any other, just a bit more brainwashed. It’s the Russian regime!
believe what you want, the Jewish people/Israel are impartial in this military operation and have refused to condemn Russia and allies so they dont see a correlation unlike some gullibles
Ah yes, the false dichotomy approach. Good move.
