Sadly a deeper look shows Russia is winning and today was a bad day for the Ukraine army.
I don't think he's mad, as in needing to be certified or anything.
What he is, is pure unadulterated evil. Adolf's twin brother if you will.
Both men knew/know no bounds when it comes to hatred towards other races and ideals, and both were/are willing to plumb the depths of depravity to achieve it. They'll both meet in hell that's for sure.
That's pretty much the assessment (except the move against Putin, which he's not willing to make a prediction on as it's in the realms of palace intruige and not a defence matter).
A general mobilisation will surely result in a large untrained, poorly equipped, frightened army being sent against a motivated, experienced, western backed army. It would be some slaughter and surely would eventually result in a move against Putin.
Seems both sides are taking heavy loses in the last 48hrs.
All this lose of life is so pointless and sad all over one madmans ego.
Recommended podcast: Latest episode of War on The Rocks featuring a Russian military capabilities expert.
Gets into the granular and very fine detail why the Russian offensive is a busted flush, why on a battalion-level Russia is failing, and that the Donbas offensive is the last roll of the dice for Putin to avoid a strategic defeat without declaring a general mobilisation of the populace. He also gets into what a general mobilisation would mean for Russian society and why that's a defeat in and of itself.
He's not necessarily predicting a victory for Ukraine, but the calculus for Russia is bad.
The war of the looters.
Arestovych gave an interesting and very lengthy interview during the week - says he thinks the next three weeks will be crucial, but that it will end in a major Russian defeat (he seems very knowledgeable about military matters and tactics).
It wouldn't be a case of a facist regime "growing" next door and the UK losing it's marbles, but the nation losing it's marbles and a facist regime "growing".
In other words not only far fetched but a "marbleless" hypothesis.
The suggestion of a comparison with Russia and Ukraine is ludicrous.
Why? Through law... Funnily PiS means Law and Justice party. Why thugs are always saying opposite things that they do, even naming their party...
Knee deep? More like up to his neck in it.
Via a special operation?

GB/GBR - United Kingdom
UA/UKR - Ukraine
If you're talking about unofficial codes, people can use whatever they like that conveys their message.
I hope EU will stay strong with Poland to rebuild democracy there...

UK - united kingdom
Ukr or UA - Ukraine
I'd say Eastern Europe will give the EU short shrift if they go after Poland while Germany and Austria and others spent months siding with the extermination of a European democracy because they buy cheap off the friend doing it, and still largely do.
When the chips were down and democracy in a part of Europe was undergoing a war of extermination, the silence and complicity was telling.
Who in Eastern Europe would believe that future moves against Poland were not down to Russian controlled leaders getting payback. Very few.
How could you even attempt to convince people in Eastern Europe that many countries in Western Europe have had leadership that was compromised at worst and had no value in Slavic lives at best. A lonely furrow to plough.
Berlin and Brussels need to be careful, they might get a hop.
That's about right.
PiS wants to have Judicial system in Poland dependant from ruling party, while independence of courts is a pillar of democracy. Imagine it would be in States, so Trump would win any his case claiming that he won the last election. Such situation leads straight to an authoritarian regime.
Which laws ?
Scholz, Merkel, the leadership of the SPD and many key CDU figures and Die Linke and AFD, firmly in the Russian camp.
Your use of UK is playing havoc with my reading of your posts. I thought for a split second the Brits were on the ground in the thick of it.
Probably looting houses to send home to Russia
No body was saying the weapons, where fake, but that the video post here wasn't recorded in Ukraine as reported, so a fake report.
What were the RU soldiers doing there . Trying to ambush a UK vehicle or what.? If so, then What did they expect?
Could they have been faking injury on the first drone. Would they have used a hand gun , For example, if a UK soul approached them to see if they needed help would a dun of some sort be produced or how would the RU souldiers who scamped it react if a UK souldier exposed himself?
No (although the LGBT bigotry is disgusting in its own right).
I mean their attempt to underline the rule of law in the EU.
Why do you say 'FAKE'?
This springs to mind from your post.
Its a Russian graveyard
I just opened facebook and an advertisement for the AfD appeared in my timeline (I'm in germany). A lot of the comments below it were about how weapons shouldn't be sent to Ukraine. And weirdly a lot about how the green party want to destroy the environment.
I think we can see who Putin's supporters in Germany are.
