    When they are pillaging, raping, murdering and kidnapping civilians for fun, what's a little bit of infrastructure damage.

    Negotiate with these unrepentant mongrels... not going to happen.

    Does Russia do anything else well these days? Destruction is all they are good at.

    All credit due to the Ukrainians. The temptation to conduct some large scale special forces ops inside Russia must be huge.

    President Putin due to give a speech at 2pm. Will be interesting to see if he has anymore empty threats to sling at Ukraine.

    Plenty of information available still most days, just not a lot about big moves going on



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,031 ✭✭✭circadian


    They can't hit a sitting target on land, how TF do they expect anyone to take them seriously about hitting a moving target in orbit?

    Putin late for his own meeting again. Probably because his watch is slow. It's stuck in 1933.

    Putin wants an out,sounds like it. A deal, but it will be his way or no way.

    Im actually at the point now where its hard to even put words on the ridiculousness of the rubbish that these morons are now spouting.

    Its like the whole country, its culture and its mindset hadn't actually evolved or modernised or become civilised whilst the west has, for the most part, evolved into the modern society we live in today.

    The fact that the powers that be in russia actually publicly publishes the likes of this "desatanisation" rubbish and that some of the people reading it will actually believe in it and want to act accordingly.

    The actual levels of hypocrisy is absolutely insane, yet they spew it out unblinking.

    Russia has and continues to slaughter innocent civilians including kids, their scum military rape and murder civilians and this is turned a blind eye to and is not at all classed as satanistic behavior because they're doing it, so its all ok then.

    Its like they're whole psyche is almost juvenile in nature, keep telling lies, keep denying the obvious, keep pretending Ukraine is about to do this or do that when its they themselves are thinking about doing do, this is primary school yard politics and strategies, putin and his minions expect us "soft westerners" to just believe their utterings and lies, and still, after multiple examples of them trying to lay the ground work for a possible false flag operation (dirty bomb etc) and after being globally called out on them, they go and try the same tactic again.

    Is this now just pure desperation because they're options are diminishing or are they actually that insanely dumb that they think they can pull the wool of the collective western nations and that we'd seriously fall for any of their horse sh*t ?

    Before 24th Feb. I had a completely different view of Putin and Russia as a whole.

    I knew they were a bit behind the west but were doing their best to get a bit "westernised" with their consumer habits and tastes etc.

    I believed the russian military was 2nd only to the US in terms of power, strength and tech.

    Since Feb though its become clear that the undercurrent in the russian psyche is so backward, theyre still living it the 70s and 80s.

    I've worked with a number of russians over the years and russian men are judged by their peers on how many woman they can pull even though they've a wife and kids waiting for them at home or how much alcohol a man can drink on a night out, this too is a measure of how much of a man they are.

    I know this can sometimes happen with western lads but its way more prevalent amongst the russians I've worked with.

    As for their military, I too believed the russian military would sweep Ukraine out of its way in days after the invasion, but it so quickly became apparent that their conventional military was just a rag tag shambles of old soviet equipment, rusty rifles, untrained alcoholic child raping men with big egos led by commanders who couldn't command a ride in a whore house.

    Russia truly is no longer a world "Superpower" like it was once believed to be, its now shown itself to truly be nothing more than a terrorist state on the border of eastern europe, led by a gangster with nukes in his pocket.

    How the mighty have fallen in the eyes of the world with their true colors shown to the world.

    There's going to be some amount of dead Russians from the cold in this war. Crap gear, crap shelter, píssed off their heads so no real feel for just how cold their body is. I reckon we'll see thousands die and others so desperate for food they'll turn to eating them. This will be as bad as anything they faced in WW2 and that's before the drones start picking them off as they huddle for warmth.

    Putin ranting against the West like the raving lunatic he is. No surprises today....

    The hypocrisy is laughable; he is talking about allowing nations to determine their own destiny. Wha? Like Ukraine?

    It looks like history is starting up again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,048 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Georgia, Belarus...

    But then, he doesn't consider the former Soviet republics as nations or some such weasel words.

    His take on history is very mangled and he is contradicting himself at every turn.

    Putin 2022: "Russia fight a civil war in Ukraine"

    How does one fight a civil war between two sovereign countries?

    This must be the most open discussion we have seen public-ally with Putin since the start of all of this?

    There’s two things going on here;


    (1) Trying to convince the Russian public that everything is in hand, going to plan and Russia.

    (2) Crying out that he is open to negotiations. It just feels like this is him trying to open that without explicitly asking

    One of the strangest things I’ve seen



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,286 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Putin

    Why did US bomb Japan, no point to it, they did it to kill civilians



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,569 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Putin, I hate the west and everything it stands for.


    Also Putin, I am not any enemy of the west.

    Sometimes in an F-15 yeah.

    AC7 was fun. I hope 8 comes to PC as well.

    Have to say I'm still not that up and up on MiG and Sukhoi families.

    Why did Rome burn Carthage to the ground, no point to it, they did it to kill civilians.


    Because something bad happened in the past does not excuse something bad happening now

     Putin: "We never said anything proactively about possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia. We have only hinted in response to statements made by western leaders."

    What has the world come to? A despot can't even hint at nuclear annihilation any more without the threat of retaliation. The west never plays fair!

    Remember, this was one of their "hints".
