Ukraine (Mod Note & Threadbanned Users in OP)

I read that, France also this week so they are getting some serious firepower.

I do wonder how much more weaponry can give though, these countries must have seriously ramped up production to replace what they’ve given I’d imagine.. or hope at least

Norway also flew in 10k rounds of munitions as well.

id ask how much longer can Russia hold out but I’m guessing still quite a bit.

Western armor,and new weapons systems will give the Ukrainans a bigger edge, meanwhile the Ukrainans are gearing up for a large spring offensive across the whole front lines ,

And yet people seem to think they can't win, they are winning and will keep winning until the Russians leave or all die in the fields of Ukraine,

How difficult is that to understand

It is that simple, the Irish-English situation bears absolutely no comparison to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The English wanted to rule Ireland to rob it of its resource's, same as they did in any country's they went into world wide. Putin wants to wipe Ukraine and Ukrainians off the face of the earth as well as their language and culture, the same as if they never existed. It's official Russian policy as they have often stated. But as the famous Chechen leader Dzhokher Dudayev said " The rise of Ukraine will spell the end of the Russian Empire".

Seen todays News at all , electric generation infrastructure being repaired and replaced , here's a gift for us here in Ireland

It is nearly a fifth of the country.

That would be a large amount imo.

So much for putin’s ceasefire. Bloke cannot even honour his own word. Cannot be trusted.

SLAVA UKRAYINI

On the MacGregor video...hadn't heard of him, or the interviewer before.

Didn't watch it all but interviewers' eyes bugged out of his head a bit when he claimed Ukraine has suffered 450k military casualties 150k military deaths since Feb. last year. That is I think a lot more than worst claims made for what Russia has suffered, which seems surprising to me given we know Russia was the one who invaded here (yes, they did!), and their invasion pretty much failed and was halted or driven back in places.

He said Ukrainian officials were telling very big lies about the war's progress on the level of "Baghdad Bob"/Comical Ali during Iraq invasion, Russia has now almost destroyed all of Ukraine's military, they are reduced to poorly trained and very young recruits. Russia are just waiting for the right time to launch a big attack (implying resistance has been wiped out). That doesn't seem to tally with what has been going on last few months either.

I cannot be bothered listening to all 30 min, but I was wondering did he ever provide much support for all of the statements?

Oherwise we'd have to take it on faith and accept the argument from authority of US Trumpy/MAGA ex edit: general colonel. Like alot of them he seems to be very sympathetic to Putin's/Russia's view of the world and this war. He called the current Ukrainian government a "regime" during bit I listened to. When I read the wikipedia page about him it mentions a past appearance on RT to discuss Russian annexation of Crimea, appearing on Fox News to support Russia etc.

@mcsean2163 So on one side is the leader of the second most corrupt nation in Europe (Zelensky) telling us that the most corrupt country in Europe (Russia) bombed Poland.

Second most corrupt country sounds like that claim is made up ?

Ukraine has banned their own orthodox church?

Who made theses claims and can you provide varifed evidence not putinbots , racists or tucker ,Mearsheimer
