Thought Biden looked incredibly weak today at the UN both physically and mentally. Would have expected him at the very least to call for the removal of Russia from the security council, let Iran off the hook also.

This is what I expect too. Some protests and arrests this week, and a week from now nothing. It will become normal, and fear will keep others quiet
Yet probably truth there.
Anyone understand Russian?
Looks like a friend or brother there knows what's occurring.
These people have been through hell. It's uplifting to see the odd ray of light like this.
Will be interesting to hear if she talks about how the Russians treated them. Likewise the English guys who were released
It is still a hard grind in Kherson. I'm waiting for them to go in with overwhelming force. They need to do this and the west needs to help them asap.
This is the Ukrainan unmanned watercraft that turned up in occupied svastaspol earlier today...
Hard to know, another tweet is saying something entirely different.
Watching the various videos on social media, the arrests in Moscow this evening were far more violent than the ones in March. Lots of shots of riot police beating and punching the protesters which didn't happen with the original protests.
Third fella anyway it looks like he's had a serious realisation seeing the other two carted off.
(So many camera phones in Moscow and St.Petersburg. Seconds later it's on the net.)
All the yellow vests. I guess are press. And pure Russian, indifferent.
What we know already Moscow does not have the weapons for Putin's news conscripts. Ukraine is winning the war no matter what Moscow's mouthpieces say.
Fortunately, you haven't a clue what will happen.
Fox News 🤣
Come back Twitter all is forgiven
Word circulating on twitter now that those being arrested are being drafted at the police station. 1984 esque.
A bit longer on this one. You can almost see it in that third man's face. He's thinking "Will you shut up. You fool."
And then it cuts to the two being carted off.
I think Ukraine are very wary of commiting too many soldiers to this front, it seems it has had a very heavy toll on both sides. From early reports of the intial exchanges , Russia where causing huge problems with superior weapons and drones.
Ukraine needs the most advanced tech as soon as possible, hopefully the west/NATO are analysing whats been happening their and can help them in this regard, it may take more time and training, so we should be prepared for things to move very slowly on the Kherson front.
Are you saying that the war is actually unwinnable for Ukraine, simply because Putin has it in his head that he won't accept defeat - even if he's actually being defeated in real life? Can anyone do that? Just declare that you refuse to accept defeat, and therefore become invulnerable to defeat, despite the actual outcome that you suffer?
I can think of one jeep driving f**er in Clane for whom I'd be happy to buy a one way ticket back to the motherland.
Wars are generally between opposing parties that will not accept defeat, we will see who blinks first, from the looks of it Putin is blushing already.
Surely when those 3 parts of Ukraine are taken by Russia, the US and Europe will pressure or persuade Ukraine from retaliating ?
If Ukraine retaliate, Russia can invade... are the US and Europe going to do something then ?
They should go to Ukraine and surrender to international authorities.
Nah just nahh
Ye may go back in the recording of this.
Is Russia holding back or something? Where will this "hell" come from?
If over 1000 have been detained then clearly a far greater numbers took part in those protests.
Lots of people suggested that Putin's plans would backfire.
There is always C: Russian army gets beaten back to the 2013 border and doesn't come back. Looks like a long slog but the tide has turned.
Seems the theme of the day is downplay the protests big up nukes
What was proven not to be the case ?
It doesnt matter if he accepts it or not, if enough pressure is a applied, He will be killed or removed or Russia itself will fail. This could go on for ten years, so be it. And the threat of nuclear is pointless, if the west were to back down due to the threat of nuclear war, then they might aswell join the Russian federation, they would have no credibility, Russia and every other nuclear power could bully the west for the rest of time. They cannot be bullied by nuclear threats, they might aswell kill themselves. They have no choice but to fight a nuclear war if it is necessary. Everyone knows this and that is why it will never happen.
But you're completely ignoring the practical side. The war isn't happening in Putin's head, so what he accepts or not is not the basis for the reality. The outcome of the war will be a matter of physical resources - men and arms. If Russia are pushed out of the Ukrainian territory occupied since February, and held out, then that is clearly a Ukrainian victory, whether Putin "accepts" it or not. Even better victory if they get some or all of the land occupied before February back too. It's the physical control of the land that counts, not what Putin decides. The UK won the Falklands War because they got control of the islands back after the invasion. The Argentinians still claim the islands - but that doesn't mean the British didn't win and win decisively.
I think you're giving too much credit to the power of Putin's ego. It can't warp reality.
Nonsense..
