"This week we celebrate international redheads day" 🤣
Ah crap I'm in trouble
Think of Claire Daly… that should snap you out of it. Apologies in advance for the extreme measures!!!
Breathe being held... 😶
Could be just getting put out there to make other Russians within Kherson to think of doing the same assuming they follow Ukrainian press releases.
F the war! I want to learn more about that gorgeous redhead with barely any clothes in that wine yard 😂
Damned Russian propaganda is interesting
10 seconds to biggest defeat since ww2
1-2 minutes to “Soviets” holding the line elsewhere
5 minutes to a severe Slavic beauty posing with wine 🍷
50/50 if true I’d say. But, If the reinforced with best troops Kherson brigades surrender surely that’s the end of the war and Putin… surely!?
Oh look something is on fire outside of Moscow
Easy criticize from a safe distance Toby, but if you were born in Russia, and come up through the system, this is what the end product is like. It' s all about the STATE ( throwback to its communist past ) anyone ( and I mean ANYONE ) wearing a state uniform has power over you. And no one bucks the state ( except those in Putin's circle ,,, but then again, they are the STATE ) I once witnessed a "situation" on the main street, a couple of teenagers were driving along, playing loud music and singing ( as kids do everywhere else) and they were pulled over by two cops. The kid's were treating it as a big joke, dancing around the two cops, and laughing at them. Then one of the kids took the cops cap off, and was dancing around wearing it. The cops mood changed, and got dirty. They started to manhandle the kids, and a crowd quickly gathered. One of the cops called the police station, and within a few minutes , cop cars were swarming around the street. They arrested the kids, and a few of the onlookers and took them away. And that's what life is like in Russia. Slightest sign of trouble is jumped on .
What channel was this on I wonder? A minor regional channel or one with wide viewership? That's serious debate there and shows up the fault lines in thinking. The 'win at all costs and kill all the nazis' v the pragmatic 'we are losing this **** show and the ordinary locals don't want us'.
Too true jmreire
You might as well criticise Germans in 1943 for not rising up against the Nazis. Easy for us in our democratic countries to forget the freedoms we have.
Rubbish Russia attacked Izyum and spent huge resources on that attack months after the flight from Kiev.
It seems to me that the Kherson counter attack did not go as well as they thought, so it has become a diversion by default.
... "red color came from neanderthals"
They couldn't even get that right. Russian news is like the man in the pub that some think knows stuff. If there were a Russian version of Snopes, www.snopeski.ru it would make millions. Or more likely...
Back in the day a lot of Irish were taken as slaves - by Africans - and ended up in the middle east. Maybe Russia too. Hence red-haired Middle Eastern people.
I believe it's broadcast to a fairly large audience on one of the main tv channels,
7 months ago on the same show they were shushing very verbally anyone who went against the party line of denazification of Ukraine,the Ukrainian are welcoming us with open arms.....
If rumours of surrender negotiations on the Southern front are true, they must have been able to demonstrate superiority.
Perhaps the Russian GROUND forces want to call it a day and the lack of a coordinated surrender is intended to prevent Putin from directing his wrath at any particular section.
Either way, it's all falling apart for Putin, anything could happen (to him) at this stage.
or he's likely to do anything in desperation?
Seems the idea is gaining traction, there has to be some truth in it somewhere
Wouldn't be surprising at all. The Barbary states (Algiers, Tripoli, Tunis and others), who were the instigators behind a lot of these slaving raids, were ostensibly part of the Ottoman empire, whilst the Crimean Khanate was a vassal state to the Ottomans. It seems highly likely to me that slaves brought in by, for example, a raiding fleet out of Tunis, would be sold on to Constantinople and then on to Crimea.
It's deeply engrained in the Russian psyche. For centuries after the rest of Europe got pissed off with divine right rulers and chopped their heads off when they could Russians were still living in a feudal society with an indentured peasantry little more than slaves owned by an unbelievably wealthy aristocracy promoted and supported by their equally crooked church. And fair bloody play they tried to shake all that off, riddled their oppressors, kicked out the cassock and the crown and damn near did it too. At first. Then all too soon reverted to type and Czar Stalin took over and caps were doffed again. Then the wall fell and they had the chance again, but were fcuked over again. Their re-established church even made the last Czar a bloody saint and look up to him. That weak useless inbred little prick.
And it's not as if we Irish weren't all too similar albeit on a smaller scale, with the same insecure and too often servile attitude to authority. We mostly doffed the cap to London and our "betters", threw those pricks out, put all our woes on them, tried for real change and then wheeled in the church to fill our the need to doff to someone else. We replaced the crown with the cassock and that wasn't that long ago we threw them out in turn and put all our woes on them too.
So we're not exactly living in a glass free gaff either.
Wibbs here has gone over the main economic and technological challenges facing Russia now & in the future. I think a fair analogy is with Britain and their fading notions of a being a world power, except that the Brits are several decades if not a century further down the road. Gorbachev started this process and debate and the best hope is that new voices can emerge again and lead a change in how they view themselves and their reduced importance in world affairs.
This is definitely unexpected
Ot more likely there were more red heads in the general Europan population and they were replaced over time by newer stock, but survived in the edges of Europe like these islands or in more out of the way places. IIRC outside of these islands the greatest concentration of red hair is among the Tartars and Udmurts of Russia. IIRC the latter have the most gingers of anywhere on Earth.
All likely dating back to the Viking era more than anything
I think I'm more fearful of what the Kremlin might do now more than ever. They seem to have a knack for justifying any action, no matter how sadistic, while their international allies continue to do business with them, seemingly without a care...
There are red haired people all the way from the Hindu Kush to Connemara with the highest population density of them in Germany. Now can we get back to Putin getting his rear end handed to him on a platter please.
We are getting back to it would taught it would take 4-5 days.....
And we have another one 18 posts, how long before he mentions it. Will he get to 40posts without mentioning it.
The ****
Edit
Sorry read through his previous posts he has already mentioned it.
He need to buy some Pampers he will not get his knickers wet then
Oh well...
On the talks/rumours of a negotiated surrender in the South, is there anyway they could accept the surrender and allow the Russian troops to cross the dnipre?
Surely they would have to be held in Western Ukraine unitil the end of the war.
Let them go back to russia...
...after an unspecified time spent working as free labour to help rebuild Ukraine. At least one year.
I wonder is that basic lack of pilot training (i mean he cant even get the thing 20m off the ground), pilot error, or simply poor aircraft maintenance?
