Wounder if she is going to like the knock off Chinese tat Ifone and all that.
No deals.
Russia are floundering. Running out of weaponry and men alike. They must be driven back to the 2013 borders, the ones internationally recognised and accepted. They must be humiliated in a way that dissuades, for the next hundred years, any would-be autocratic aggressor from attacking a neighbour in this fashion.
No succour for international terrorism, no rewards for fascism, no appeasement of autocrats.
Humiliation, isolation, ruination. Lets see what ordinary Russians make of their masters then.

Interesting one Was the British Empire or the UK mentioned in their case ? Would be interesting to see the Russians claim their still the USSR.
Russian army basic infantry training
BBC morning news report just now- interesting analysis - whilst Russia is only making small gains, they’re still making these incremental gains and of course many more troops are on the way- things are very much hanging in the balance for both sides.
Ukraine really needs quality and quantity of weapons of all kinds to keep up with Putins approach of continuous bombardment and sacrificing 1000s of il-equipped soldiers to make these small gains - I think we can expect an increased level of positive propaganda spin from Ukraine in terms of how well they are doing and putting its best side out in the coming weeks as pressure mounts on them - hopefully these stories can be backed up with solid western support soon - it’s very apparent at this stage that this is Europes war to win or lose.
Ah, fantastic. You must come on one of our trips to various airshows and airports next year. I'm looking at going to Duxford in February. Its the best time to go, as they are still maintaining the aircraft in the hangers.
My brother lives next door to RAF Fairford apparently the place is hopping at the moment.
There are major nuclear exercises being conducted out if there next week. I'd give my left arm to be camped out at the embankment ( you know the spot) next week. Its going to be seriously busy.
A take on Belarus joining the party.
'shenko is absolutely delusional..

Not just Europe's war, but possibly NATO's too if you listen to the words coming out of the mouth of people like Jens Stoltenberg etc.
Here are some very interesting interviews with Scott Ritter, and his take on the state of play currently. For anyone who isn't familiar with the name, Ritter is a former US marine corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector who helped to expose the lies about WMD's in Iraq. So, I'll let people decide for themselves if they think he might be a voice worth listening to on this conflict.
Interestingly, at that time, a certain US senator by the name of Joseph Biden, actually attempted to mock Ritter for the vital information he was providing. In fact, Biden even wanted to have those senate hearings cancelled. But thankfully, the world got to hear his voice. It was around that time, that terms such as "manufacturing consent" came more into the public consciousness. Ritter knows a lot about the big politics around these issues and much of the inner machinations of the military industrial complex.
Here's a slightly older one, but goes into more depth around some of these issues. Really fascinating guy to listen to, considering his experience and knowledge on the subject matter.
^^^ was going to give the above videos a try until I saw that Scottish idiot. Better things to be doing…
This Scott Ritter?
Now is the time for the A10 Warthogs. Russias air defence is minimal. Their troops are inexperienced and getting more densely gathered. Some warthogs would decimate these troops and drop their morale through the floor.
Someone quoted Galloway and a pedophile in the same post ......
Someone smoking crack again
Okay, watched the first video that doesn’t include Galloway. Such utter horseshît.
The ONLY takeaway from that Lord Haw Haw level drivel is proof of freedom of speech in the West.
Not only can you be defenestrated for telling the truth in the Russia, you’d definitely be fooked out a window if you spouted such BS… I’d say Putin himself would turn up at your apartment to walk you to the window.
Stupid stuff.
But, you must be relieved to hear Russia has already won. So, you can stand down with the BS.
First time I’ve listened to Ritter… ‘We Bono’ - idiot of the highest level.
No. The actual Scot… but, Ritter is some piece off work too. Should be an instant banning for linking to this creep.
He’s a more ardent lickarse than Tucker. An individual of dubious credibility and ill-repute. That whole weapons inspection truther malarkey…he was an architect of those lies and embellishments from the off.
Of relevance to his “credibility:”
On April 6, 2022, Ritter was suspended from Twitter for violating its rule on "harassment and abuse" after he posted a tweet falsely claiming that the National Police of Ukraine are responsible for the Bucha massacre and calling U.S. President Joe Biden a "war criminal" for "seeking to shift blame for the Bucha murders" to Russia. The following day Newsweek reported his Twitter account had been reinstated. Ritter writes various NATO-critical articles for the Russian channel RT (formerly Russia Today). In July 2022, Ritter was added to a list of pro-Russia propagandists compiled by the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation.
Some other illuminating bits:
Ritter was the subject in two law enforcement sting operations in 2001. He was charged in June 2001 with trying to set up a meeting with an undercover police officer posing as a 16-year-old girl. Ritter was arrested again in November 2009 over communications with a police decoy he met on an Internet chat site. Police said that he exposed himself, via a web camera, after the officer repeatedly identified himself as a 15-year-old girl. In October 2011, he received a sentence of 1½ to 5½ years in prison. He was sent to Laurel Highlands state prison in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, in March 2012 and paroled in September 2014.
Run forest run has about the same credibility as Putin......
why put two of these together? 🤦♂️
I think Run Forest Run should respond to this post and if not should be banned for trolling.
Scott Ritter? 🤣 Holy... I know he's loved by the Love Mother Russia crowd eager to hear from "one of their own"(others would be Galloway, The Duran eejits and Lancaster) but glossing over the pimping for underaged girls, he's a total arse hat selling said arse for whatever roubles he can get. Nasty piece of work too:
Then there was this beauty:
As for his "insights" and "predictions"?
This was his insight about Iraq:
Right before the US marched right into Baghdad taking it over and in double quick time.
Russia has increased NATO expansion, increased European resistance to Mother Russia, and demonstrated Russia's military prowess to be incredibly lacking. Never mind isolated Mother Russia from the majority of world markets, investment and politics for a generation.
Scott Ritter, oh man, there's scraping the bottom of the barrel and digging right through it.
Well, anyone who can carry off lie after lie after lie and believe themselves when they speak, must surely qualify for a disorder of the mind. In no way can anyone in sound mind carry on like Putin. He has gone beyond egomaniacal to severely delusional.
Vladimir Putin said Moscow was "doing everything right" in its nearly eight-month invasion of Ukraine according to the above link. How nuts is that considering he has got everything wrong and blundered endlessly? Russia is doomed for another 50 years with the way he is carrying on.
Jesus Christ. Do you have any clue or notion of the individuals you are lauding in here?
Oh and aonther near sure fire way to spot those who hoover up Pro putin propaganda is the use of the word "hegemony". Their heroes use this word a lot, their fans usually have to look up its meaning, or still don't know what it means.
Yeah this guy is great. I watch his breakdowns every night. They're just the right length given that they're usually fairly dense in terms of strategy.
That account along with Perun and Vlad Vexler have been my favourite Youtube finds during this war.
Just reading through the thread and got to someone, unironically making a Scott Ritter reference. Was gonna fire up a response but I think other posters have more than covered it!
In other news....seems like a major offensive in Kherson has kicked off this morning. Hopefully we'll see some major advances there.
There was another pro Russian American at before the start of the war saying how insane it was people thinking Russia was thinking of invading Iran. He was quiet articulate, but obviously completely wrong. The only other thing I can remember about him was his being suspected of sex crimes. These are the useful ‘idiots’ Russia gets to shill for them.
So this week Russia clamped down on their own bloggers for accurately reporting what was happening on the front-lines (as opposed to just parroting whatever nonsense the MoD issues). That might mean that the fog of war has just gotten a lot denser. In the past the likes of Rybar were used in order to figure out movements in the front-lines but they may no longer be as reliable. We may have to literally wait for videos and photos of Ukrainians liberating settlements.
A deal will be done, when Russia has been driven out of Ukrainian territory as defined pre 2014. Whatever scope there was for ceding territory has long gone off the table, blown to bits by the Russian regime. Things gone too far.
I like how you think- wish I could say “make it so”
