So what you're saying is, every time a nation launches an invasion of another, smaller, sovereign country, they should just roll over and accept occupation, cleansing, and cultural erosion, as was the tradtion 100 years ago in the era of Hitler and Stalin.
Filth is too good a word for the likes of yourself with your blatantly transparent agenda.
Yes the filthy war will stop ( and the sooner the better) but no matter when it will stop finally, Russia will be the loser,,,they're losing already , even if it does not seem like that. Where do you see an ever weakening Russia and an increasingly powerful Ukraine 6 mths ( or less) from now? No matter what they take territory -wise, Ukraine will never let them keep it. And rightly so, and as for what will be left of the Culture and People?. Remember that there's 40+ million of them, and all of them prepared to fight for their future. No, when Putin's invasion is only a memory, Ukraine will still exist, proud and strong.
Something another Poster said a few pages back, but it's worth repeating. Quote:-
Dzoker Dudaev , Chechan President.
The first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
A real Chechen with a capital letter, to whom today's rabble of Kadyrov is no match (and, in principle, it is difficult to call them Chechens).
Dudaev was wise and smart. And Russia does not tolerate such people.
About Ukraine, he said this:
“The biggest mistake is to neglect the Ukrainians. Consider Ukrainians weak. Offend the Ukrainians. Never offend Ukrainians. Russia will end when the Ukrainian sun rises.” UnQuote
Under the circumstance's, might be worthwhile bearing his words in mind.
Russia won't stop on its own because is too deluded for it, but already is and will be stopped by others.
And the longer the war continues I only see growth of strength of Ukrainians and growth of respect of the World for Ukrainians. Material damages will be rebuild. With Russian's money.
The same user dropped the same rhetoric in a few days ago and then ran away, no doubt they'll be back next week with the same thing, while pretending to be anti-war.
I haven't really been following the news. Just doing what I can through other means.
Could I ask you why is Russia deluded and who are the others?
This is a bit of a slap in the face for Zelenskiy - yeah I'll get to you soon, but I need to meet the invader first so just hang tight there
You know the same UN that voted to kick out Russia for all the crap they're doing but they come first when they need a chin wag - almost as bad as Germany's back peddling (which I see another company calling them out today by proffering aid if the government says ok)
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will visit Turkey on Monday before travelling to Moscow and Kyiv, the UN said.
Guterres will meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has hosted peace negotiations, before visiting Moscow on Tuesday to visit Russian President Vladmir Putin.
On Thursday, Guterres will travel to Kyiv.
And everyone is questioning Joe Bidens health?
This is a message Putin,Russian army and Chechens will understand better ,and you dont have to be russian speaking to understand.
Certainly not mincing their words. 😲
Understandable.
Or, Ukraine's president can look on it as an opportunity to pick Guterres' brains after a very fresh meeting with Putin. Even if one assumes insult where none was intended, the smart thing to do is make sure you're using it to your own advantage.
Bang on. Germany behaved disgracefully towards it fellow EU members during the economic crash a decade ago. Sharing the load back then was absolutely verboten.
They always were and still are only out for themselves, despite on their sycophants in this country and others.
Darth Putin said it better a few weeks ago.
This is huge (although pity they dont hold in Ukraine)
Basically, the US isn't countenancing Ukrainian defeat.
I think the US were sick of fighting other peoples wars (waves at Afghanistan), but seeing how resilient Ukraine have been (and let's face it, none of us were confident that Ukraine would do so spectacularly well) they are backing them more and more.
Again, it's now a question of when does Russia realise they have lost?
"In Melitopol kidnapped the Consul of BulgariaIn the hours ago it became known that in Melitopol kidnapped the Consul of Bulgaria, said the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov on the air of the national marathon.
"My colleagues were kidnapped across the country more than 50, today 29 are in prison occupiers. As for activists, businessmen, this is a complete practice for the occupiers, they kidnap everyone who has their own opinion, patriotic sentiments. A few hours ago it became known that the Honorary Consul of Bulgaria was kidnapped in Melitopol," he said.
Regarding the operational situation in Melitopol, Fedorov said that for the fourth day the occupiers do not let out residents who want to leave in the direction of Zaporizhzhia."
Kidnapping, including an OSCE team of inspectors near Donetsk.
"Russia has prepared a list of goods that will be imported by counterfeit: among them the car brands Tesla and Jaguar, technology brands Apple and Samsung, consoles XBox and Play Station and dozens of other manufacturers.
This was reported by Interfax with reference to the order of the Ministry of Industrial Trade at the disposal of the agency.
In Muscovy, counterfeiting is called "parallel import", which provides for the import into the country without the permission of the right holder for goods, the sale of which began in other countries of the world."
Ignoring intellectual property rights.
"According to available information, the enemy has significant problems with the medical support of its units, there are difficulties with the evacuation of the wounded, there are not enough medicines.
Due to the growing number of wounded, in Balakleya, the enemy, simultaneously with the deployed military hospital, uses the capabilities of the city polyclinic.
In the city of Vovchansk, which is temporarily occupied, junior medical personnel of health care institutions are forcibly sent to provide first aid to enemy units on the contact line with the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
Also, Russian troops have significant problems with the replenishment of personnel, attempts to forcibly mobilize residents of kherson region continue."
And of course, slave labour.
Russia, a criminal terrorist state, on par with ISIS.
Harsh, but fair - to quote the lord Python.
Putin is many things and there have been plenty of vidoes to question his health and mindset but that just looks like somebody doodling around a paperclip.
"Meanwhile, Katsap savages eat dogs
The SES is rescuing and washing the animal that was injured during the shelling of Kharkiv from soot.
Here it is, the difference."
I would hesitate to make any predictions about this war. Too many variables in a very unstable situation. The only clear thing is it will go bad for Russia not matter how it pans out.
If you know nothing, why do you take part in this discussion?
I prefer to update myself on things I don't know yet, than waste my time to update you...
I am afraid the World has no other choice.
You should stick to milking carrots or whatever vegans do when they aren't being w@nkers.
On April 18, the 64th Brigade was awarded by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. The unit was given the honorary title of "guardian" for "heroism and courage", which is considered in Russia to be the honorary one.
"While some are debating whether Russian crimes in Ukraine can be called genocide, Russia continues to laugh in the face of the world", commented the advisor to the president of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolak.
more countries around the world are sending military aid to Ukraine, can you help?
They did but Germany is now supporting an allies attempt to exterminate a democracy in Europe to ensure continuity of cheap resources.
It's many levels up
If Putin says he will not do something he will do it, if Russia says it ain't so, it is so. I truly do hope that Ukraine manages to hold some of its coastal areas. A few people asked me what I meant previously by heavy gear, well, we have Mowag and Scorpion APC's and tanks we have little use for. 50 cal machine guns anti-tank weapons and sniper rifles. As we have no staff to talk off in the Navy we could give them one patrol boat and hope they can rig it up to deploy anti depth charges to drop on Russian submarines. I am assuming 'anti-depth-charges' are still been made and used.
The next wave of attack...
