I believe Russia had planned for 3 days. In February. That's a long 3 days.
In the not so distant past, in Kadyrov's Fathers time, Chechens killing Russian soldiers ( and vice -versa) was the done thing, maybe its becoming fashionable again? Neither is Kadyrov the choice of President for the majority of Chechens, he rules pretty much like Putin, by force and intimidation plus he is seen by Muslims as betraying the faith by helping Putin, who is killing Muslims in Syria and other places.
Russia won't stop.
Ukraine can't stand against Russia indefinitely.
I perfer an un-existence Ukraine before more mass graves.
No logic too it, if Russia takes the east their imaginary threat that they think is there is still there from Ukraine. No pleasing them, they'll want more and more.
Russia has a history of land grabbing, bit by bit they gain, in 500 years time they'll take UK, needs to stop not, need to push them back, and take the fight into Russia, Ukraine needs to flatten one of their cities.
Oh, there not all like that I'd say, some of them at least have seen action I imagine, judging by their posts.
You prefer Ukraine not to exist? The mass graves are occurring already. Keeping russia bogged down in the east while Europe switches energy supplies and the west gives Ukraine all the equipment it needs to further destroy the Russian war machine is preferable to Ukraine not existing anymore. In my opinion anyway.
Well they better send troops and military aid to Ukraine if they want to get fed, and help defeat Russia, if as you claim, they won't stop.
I doubt Ukrainians share your view, and what you would prefer is irrelevant.
Hitler had no regard for Slavic people and viewed them as sub human and in all likelihood would have continued the final solution on them when he was done with the Jews. There was no place for Slavic people in the third reich. Lebensraum called for huge ranch like farms ran by Germans in the east. It was living space for German people there was no mention of integrating Slavic people into Germany. At best the Slavic people would have been enslaved on these farms or driven east to Siberia. At worst the death camps would have just continued until all undesirables had been taken care of. At least with Stalin if they submitted to the Soviet Union and kept their head down and proved their loyalty to the regime they had some future. Hitler would have condemned them because of their non Aryan lineage regardless.
If left to their own devices Russia are well prepared to produce mass graves. Pretty sure that has made the news, so no excuses.
Partizan Belgrade fans at the Belgrade Derby a few days ago. Sickening.
Russia simply doesn't have infinite resources or troops. This isn't 1944.
Russia is not functioning day by day week by week a bit more. It's people are also not like they were in 1944. They have a breaking point. We aren't yet seeing the extent of that.
We had a taster of what a Russian victory would look like in Bucha and it already involves mass graves. Ukraine has to fight because a lot of people will end up being "disappeared" by the Russian fascist if they are allowed to win.
I also firmly believe Russia will be stopped and defeated by the Ukrainians. It will come at some cost but I believe they are the stronger and more motivated force.
I wonder how much harsher can they get! 🤔
^^^ meanwhile, on Russian state TV 'We now bring you some light relief with a fantasy special.'
Love your man talking in a low, (feigned) barely controlled voice as if it makes what he is saying less moronic.
Always more interesting to see how awkward the rest of the panel look when he speaks.
Go on Russia please attack NATO, show them what you got. Plenty of big statements by Russia now let's see some action show us what you got. Moscow is a lovely city, St Peterburgs is a lovely city. Be such a shame to bomb these cities back to the stone age.
The body language is some of those videos is fascinating. The panel members cannot possible believe what they are saying.
So, Frito, what you are essentially saying is that all those involved, eg US , Germany, Poland, Latvia re arms supply and all those providing soft supports eg food, cash , accommodation for refugees SHOULD PULL BACK and let them at it ie Ukrainian gov/army and Russia. Then , next stop Moldavia in the morning and Poland in the afternoon . Take the weekend off and then maybe Latvia ?
Jeffrey Sachs writes that only 14 per cent of the world population are in countries sanctioning Russia. If correct, then most of the world doesn't care about what happens in Ukraine despite what we are lead to believe in the west.
BUT who started the fire and WHY was it started?
And this is exactly what I said weeks ago, if NATO didn't put a stop to Putin in Ukraine then he would only be emboldened. And here we are, the threats are starting to fly via proxy. We have a chance right now to finish off the Russian army on Ukrainian soil and put this episode to bed. If Putin attacks a NATO country then Russia itself will need to be attacked and at that stage all bets are off on what happens next. The window is there to show the power of NATO. It needs to be taken and it needs to be devastating, without directly threatening the Russian state.
Haven't checked the 14%, but check the world GDP and the sanctioning countries GDP and its going to be a lot more relevant. India and China effectively have a third of the world population, but relatively poor per person.
I know who Russia would rather trade with.
short term -3 days. That was the hope . Medium term - a week. Long term - 2 months . Very very long term - 2months +
Should be banned, round the feckers up
That show and those like it are some oddball incomprehensible fantasist thing on Russian media and have been just as daft before this war kicked off. That it's apparently popular in Russia is even more incomprehensible.
If it is only 14 percent the plain fact is it's the vast majority of the part of the world population that matters economically, politically and militarily. Of the rest China matters, but it's sitting on the fence and that 14 percent are far more economically important to them than Russia is.
Sorry, your "army" was made a show of by farmers for the majority of this war.
NATO are a lot more well equipped than farmers.
From what I read about this earlier, they're not off the shelf drones, but hexa- and octo-copters custom made from off the shelf components. It was a group of students iirc who were making them, and they also made the 3D printed find to fit to the munitions. A small consumer drone would probably not be able to carry the weight if think.
