Putin and his 5 power brokers that keep him in power are deranged psychopaths. These guys make Gotham city villains look modest in comparison. How in the name of God is this going to pan out I just don't know.
an entry from Psy centre website.
Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits.
I dont like boris, but he seems to be showing all western European leaders the way forward (he is messing up at home so the war is his opportunity to show what he can do, but it's not a big job to look like a great leader when you look at how French and German leaders are handling the wzr)
It is very easy to provoke Russia, classic victim blaming technique. Defending your sovereignty against an illegal invasion and not wanting to be a puppet state like Belarus counts as provoking Russia. Because Ukraine doesn't really have a right to exist as far as the gangster fascist dictatorship is concerned, Russia is entitled to treat Ukraine however it wants, plunder it, kill its citizens and Ukraine should be thankful Russia doesn't just take everything and kill everyone.
We see all the lies about denazification and demilitarisation spouted by Russia and repeated by mouthpieces here being shown up by these actions.
Ukraine is a boxer on the ropes getting beaten to a pulp, its corner men (EU/US) have to be brave and throw in the towel to end this beating and permanent serious damage, at the rate the Ukrainians men are dying there will be none left by years end.
I don’t think he’s a great leader at all. He’s just an opportunist and can see how the position he is taking is making him look good personally
And do what exactly? Let Russia roll through Ukraine? Do you really think they'll stop there?
As if the Ukranian surrender would be the end of the dying. Look at what happened in Bucha.
To labour the Mafia analogy some more, it's a bit like the mafia boss getting aggrieved when you don't pay for his protection services or use his waste disposal company. Nice country there, Ukraine, shame if anything were to happen to it - is exactly what's happened. A country level extortion by El Chapo Putin.
So just roll over and let them come in and destroy Ukraine.
Russia want to end Ukraine through genocide.
Millions have already been captured and vanished into Russia.
Really? If anything based on the intel, Russia are likely to punch themselves out.
Much like the rope-a-dope.
I'd park your cowardice for a bit yet.
I thought they were supposed to have collapsed economically in March? And then in April? And in May?
Their economic collapse gets postponed again and again, and all the while they take more and more territory. They will soon have taken Lisichansk and the entirety of Luhansk will be occupied.
To all the posters who say Ukraine should not concede territory, when is the big counterattack coming? Ukraine's negotiating position has gotten consistently weaker and weaker as time goes on, and yet people here say they shouldnt make any concessions - how will they get any territory back or stop losing more if they do not negotiate now?
That's like telling a wife who is getting beaten up by her husband to accept it because it could get worse otherwise.
To the posters who are saying they should concede territory, why do you think that would make Russia stop?
Why do you think Russia wouldn't just take the pause to regroup and come back again?
thank **** we had Collins and not you in the war of independence
When your value for life is zero you can send fighters to their death constantly until you win
Is this aimed at Russia or Ukraine ? Both are doing it for their own reasons.
What do you think the videos of Ukrainian's being incinerated whilst shopping does to a highly militarised nation like Ukraine?
If you think the overwhelming feeling in Ukraine is concession and negotiation then you have a fork in your eye.
It's pure unadulterated rage, it doesn't matter how many poor uneducated conscripts Russia throw at that, it's not winnable.
These warlocks are so used to treating their own citizens like children they are surprised when their goofy propaganda and bullying does not work with people of the west.
so how do you see this ending if not through negotiations?
Ukraine are currently losing more territory as time goes by, how are they going to realistically stop that and go from losing land to taking it back? So far it hasnt happened despite massive amounts of arms supplied to them, why would it change now?
This footage looks a bit ambiguous to me. We'll have to wait and see-
It seems to me that if the fire spread it would start off slowly in a part of the shopping center, not all over it, simultaneously, like the videos show.
More Russian stuff burning-

That footage confirms no such thing, absolute bonkers claim.
Dying with your boots on fighting Russians is better than surrendering to them. Russia have demonstrated time and time again that there is no place for a Ukranian in Russian society only subjugation and torture. Maybe if Russia was offering something better they might not be meeting such resistance. But they have demonstrated for well over 100 years that living under the dead hand Iron fist of Moscow is a life of misery so much so that they had to build walls and barriers with automatic trip wire triggered machine guns to keep people in.
Belarus tanks 30KM from the border and moving.
This is the 7th or 8th time they've done this?
March them down and the army says 'nah'
Russian disinformation
The Russian bombed a shopping center deliberately, no mistake.
They also have no precision weapons left and are down to using WW2 artillery munitions
But yet they precision targeted a civilian building, despite their lack of precision munitions and munitions in general... makes perfect sense 🤔
@timmyntc Russia has less territory now than they did on Day 23 of the invasion, which was their peak. So your rhetorical question "How can Ukraine win any territory back?" is bunkum. Russia is inching forward again in the East and it may look a little ominous again but that does not mean Ukraine can't and won't mount further counter offensives.
Russia don't want to negotiate. And when they finally decide they would like to negotiate. Ukraine needs to wait until they're at the table to launch more strikes just as they're sitting down like Russia did during the earlier mocked negotiations.
What makes you think they precision targeted an exact spot in the shopping centre?
Shopping centres tend to be big buildings, and ones surrounded by other buildings where lots of people are doing their day-to-day tasks.
They could have launched a missile that was only accurate to 500metres if they just wanted to kill a load of civilians. If it hadn't hit the shopping centre, maybe it would hit some other big building next door. Maybe an office block or a university or a hospital or something.
They might not have known where exactly it would hit, but still have known it was going to kill loads of people.
Plus, I wouldn't take claims of "running out of precision missiles" to mean they have used up every single last one of them. They might very well be down to their last 10% and have fallen back to using non-precision for their general attacks. Still keeping the odd expensive one available for later.
Well, if this horrific attack was meant to terrorize Ukrainians, and the west, it will completely have the opposite effect. To anyone attending the G7,who was heretofore ambivalent about Russian intentions, and a forlorn hope of "normal Business" resumptions, for Putin it has backfired badly. It will trigger a much harder stance against him.
Says the poster who signed up an account 6 days ago...
We don't take no crap here in this country from Russian apologists and collaborators.
You do realise negotiations take two parties? Where have you called (pointlessly I might add) for Russia to negotiate?
