    Putin say's a lot of things and most of it's complete tripe but yeah i do believe if the Ukrainian's enter Crimea it has the potential to end with a nuclear strike on Ukrainian territory.

    Does not surprise me to see it in the banned list. Even its user name screams tin foil hat.


    Although I am not certain I approve of your username either 😉

    Absolutely. Ukraine should totally surrender now russia are losing. You've won me over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,041 ✭✭✭jmreire


    I realize that Wibbs, a colleague who was actually in that region before it kicked off in 2014, and afterwards warned me of exactly what you have said. " Don't believe all the pro Ukrainian talk you have heard and will continue to hear in the future he said...remember there are two sides to every story". And so it is. None the less, if the war continues to go in Ukraine's Favour, as it is presently , then I would not like to be one of the genuine separatists in a future Ukraine. Relocation to Russia might be the best option for them.

    I am starting to think that is a bad idea that the Ukraine is getting Western Support, providing military aid I mean. Because all it seems to be doing is prolonging the war. Which means more innocent people die. The Ukraine are in a war they have not a hope of winning and Russia can just wait, due to its size and resources.

    The war is going on since 2014 in some form or another. What is the end game of this 20 years of needless deaths? A year since the West bothered to take notice. But being hamstrung by the fuel crisis and a toothless EU means there are going to be negligible slow gains if any.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    So what’s your suggestion?


    Ukraine surrender and let Russia in to rape their wives, kids, and murder their family?

    Seems a lot of Russian sympathisers out in force tonight.


    Panic at the disco….

    50,000 dead and counting.

    So which city or town did you have to retreat from?

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭paul71


    Yeap, pretty sick discos too Jingle, Did you see the disgusting display of a Ukrainian soldiers skull in a Moscow nightclub?


    That Gormdubh is the kind is sickening savage behavior you are proposing to appease.

    That is just a cliche nothing more. From the way see it the war is been artificially kept going by the Western Military aid of the Ukraine = more people die in the long run.

    But the Western Countries cannot go in on Russia properly because it could lead to WW3, so there is a bit of catch 22. So the Western powers decided to go in with the half assed route. The same Western powers who basically helped create the climate that has enabled Putin control, and Putin paranoia over decades.'The West' has really f**ked up and now it is caught between a rock and a hard place.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yup. Told ye above. This is how they're spinning it. That's the narrative. US/NATO is needing a win so coke sniffing Zelensky is trying to give it to them to keep support going. And it's believed just as fervently and consistently as the daftest utterances from the newly minted Slava Ukraine! crowd. And the 'One World Order/liberalism is perverting your children/World economic forum/Trump' types in the west lap this stuff up.

    Ukraine is running out of soldiers. Russia is running out of bullets and shells. It'll be over by Christmas, or something...

    Problem with this narrative is the US for example have now gone full on 'official' with this war/special military operation and have made it an actual campaign, with a general, staff, funding. They're in this for the medium haul at worst. And this is the US, the Amazon of war. The EU are moving away from reliance of putin's gas and oil. The sanctions that aren't hurting mother Russia clearly are as they're at pains to ask for their lifting in return for keeping the EU warm this winter. Russia has been hit with sanctions on a North Korean scale. China is happy to buy their oil and gas at firesale prices. They'll do little else for Mother Russia as economically Thailand alone is worth more to China in trade.

    And it's interesting how there are so many losses and desertions in Kherson, yet the Russian lines haven't moved forward and this collapse in morale magically doesn't exist where Ukraine is speeding into Izyum, where Russian forces are/were also strong and defending the "republics" they recently invented, defended, supported and invaded. How does that work?

    Look, the jig was up when Switzerland, those slithery in it for themselves, dangerous chocolate, cuckoo clock making, cow bell tosspots, only concerned about the ringing of greasy tills, who played both sides in WW2 and turned a blind eye to crimes against humanity of actual nazis, decided to move closer to NATO and the EU because of all this. That should have told putinists something.

    Interesting that you took that I am a 'Russian sympatiser' out of my comment. Merely because I am saying what a folly Western Military Aid to the Ukraine is.

    Basically it means more lives lost IMO except will be a slow drip drip effect over a long period. And the Western powers can do nothing but posture it is a really strange situation.

    There should be intermediaries negotiating at this stage. Soft political power can save a lot more lives than military aid IMO in the long run. History has shown that constantly. Get a dialogue started through back channels etc. That would be real progress, I think.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Ah yeah, go on, tell the uneducated Ukrainians what's best for them and their country. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. You should go and tell them in person.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭paul71


    Nope its the simple truth. Often the simple truth can be expressed in 1 or 2 words while an essay of shite, delusion, appeasement and false concern is nothing but a bag of lies.


    This war is the result of Russian aggression and barbarity nothing else. Barbarity displayed in the form of mass murder, rape, peodophalia, ethnic cleansing, murder of POWs, torture and murder of Aid workers, castration, and display of human remains in nightclubs. It started in chechnya 3 decades ago and continues to today. It will continue for another 3 decades unless Russia and its appeasers are stopped by force.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,167 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    So what do you think through negotiations will make Russia stop??


    Please tell me…



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,288 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    As opposed to putin taking the entirety of Ukraine and stick in a puppet like he had before, because that's what he was after and is after. If the 'west' hadn't gotten involved that's what we'd be looking at. Another Belarus, with extra murder.

    Oh yeah, That's a constant feature of Russian spin/beliefs. That Zelensky is a cocaine addict. In putin's pocket is another one. And in NATO's pocket. Yep... Shrodinger's Zelensky. One I heard was he has a huge property portfolio and rents out most of it to Russian oligarchs.

    Personally I have more than a few issues with oul Zelensky before this shíte kicked off. He was 'progressive' enough for Ukraine, but that's a low bloody bar. Our collective amnesia can blind us to some of this now, but Ukraine was a well dodgy place. Corrupt as fúck. As I said earlier in the thread in a horrific way this war could, and should, be the saving of that nation for Ukrainians. The beady eye is on them like never before and if the movers and shakers in Ukraine want to leave Soviet thinking and corrupt criminal thinking behind and move forward as a great nation this bloody baptism is it. IMHO anyway.

    Again I agree Wibbs, Ukraine was an incredibly corrupt country. I read of an Irish farmer who leased a farm sowed his crop and went out to find it had been harvested, police shrugged their shoulders. The point is much (not all) of this corruption was a result of Russian influence and domination. It was the choice of the Ukrainian people to assert their sovereignty and begin the arduous journey of reforming their country and moving away from the financial corruption imposed by Russia that lead to this point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,167 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    Can’t figure out what you’re end game is.


    If Ukraine is still as corrupt as you say, Zelensky would be dead months ago from within.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭pcardin




  • Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    However corrupt Ukraine is, toilet robbing russia is reaping what it's been sowing for decades in the West now and that in itself gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'd like to believe Ukraine will grab the opportunity to change and that we will help them after the war too, it'll be hard for them but not as hard as liberating their country.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,154 ✭✭✭Mike3549


    "ThEy ShouLd StaRt neGoTiaTiOnS iMMeDiaTely"

    Where the F*ck were you when russians were attacking Ukraine for the last 6 months? Now when they started taking back their country town by town, you want negotiations? Go back to your mother ruzzia

    We all saw what the progress was like in areas where the Russians took control....murderous rapist evil barstewards.....and even worse. No thanks gormdubhgorm,,,supply Ukraine with even more weapons and materials, as quick as possible, enough to end the war completely. Thats the way to go to minimize the death and destruction, push the Russians out of Ukraine completely, inc Crimea and in such a way that they will never again even think of invading any other Country. Appeasement and deals are not even on the table, nor should they be ( unless you want Ukraine "denazication Mk 2 a few years or less down the road.)



  • Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Correct, increased delivery of weapons for Ukraine brings a more swift military defeat to russia. mr putrids mafia state needs to be put back in it's box forcibly. There are no better people to defend Ukraine than Ukrainians, all they need is the tools & support and they'll do the job.

    I believe you might be very naïve. This is the most fantastic war America has ever had to fight. They haven't had to commit a single boot on the ground and by proxy they have their decades-old arch enemy committed to fighting in a tiny corner of Europe with all of their available piece-meal resources. This war was manor from heaven for the Yanks and they are going to prolong it to their advantage. Their whole armaments industry's order books are filling up. The likes of India who have been buying RU military hardware over the decades are going to have to switch suppliers now that they realise their military equipment is deficient compared to American suppled Pakistani purchases. The EU is going to have to finance military budgets in excesses of their spending on education on American hardware to meet their new NATO commitments. There's only going to be one winner after this military blunder.
