Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Yeah this is something I heavily disagree with also. As soon as the landbridge is cut. And I imagine it will be at some point in the coming counteroffensives. How can Russians feasibly stay there? As soon as the GLSDBs or later the HIMARS/storm shadows start eating into the Kersch bridge. Ukraine don't need to roll across Crimea by force.

It doesn't matter how well the russians are dug in if they can't transport a loaf of bread to the peninsula without the UAF turning it into burned toast before it arrives. It becomes an unsustainable Cul de Sac.

Again we come back to the Nuclear argument though. I understand Crimea is a much more ethnically Russian leaning location, indeed i know two people in real life from Crimea. One just wants no war and the other wants Crimea to be part of Russia.

But as much as Putin believes Crimea is Russia. Crimea is Russian in the same way that Donbas and Kherson is Russian -> they're not.

Allowing Putin to keep Crimea for fear of The Nukes is a much more dangerous red line to cross. One that we already know the result of, well, because here we are facing the consequences of it. I subscribe to the Ben Hodges line of thinking on this. Ukraine will never be safe or allowed to recover economically as long as Russia sits in Sevastapol denying Ukraine free access to the Black Sea.

Even the purported leak of the real results of the sham Russian referendum in Crimea showed there was only a turnout of 30% and only half voted for Russian control.

I've been to Sachsenhausen. It's a horrendous place and conditions were brutal there - there were many executions and hangings in the camp.

Anyone know anything of the Crimean settlers that Putin was calling for after 2014?

E.g the south African boer farmers, etc.

My own opinion Crimea will fall back to Ukraine. With the millions of personnel of the Ukrainian army and an area just the size of Munster with the geography of just one bridge joining to Russia and ships able to be hit and as is Crimea is available to be hit by Ukrainian weapons and the fresh water supply coming from the North. Ukraine knows it needs Crimea if Agriculture, industry has any chance of flourishing and being exported on the high seas.

Russia never needed it, it already had ample ports and access in the Black sea. But it knew if it was to cripple Ukraine, Crimea was there to be taken.

But Mudspud said it wasn't too bad. @Mudspud how did you come to that observation? I mean, you're not a Nazi are you, @Mudspud? Or, I guess, technically speaking, a modern NeoNazi since the real Nazis are pushing up the dandelions by now (well, except for the occasional extremely elderly ones that get ferreted out).

Darth Putin nails it again.

"None of my tankies/trolls have said that by violating Moldovan airspace Russia has 'escalated the war'. Strange."

Where are all our self proclaimed neutral commentators now? Violation of a neutral countrys airspace and they goto ground.

Btw, the ones that suffered heavy losses in the Vuhledar attack, they were the supposedly elite troops that are meant to be used as shock troops. Didn't work out very well for them.

It's quietened down the same way an alcoholic says he's reformed because he's down to 2 litres of vodka a day instead of 3 litres.

The orcs are hemorrhaging badly, every day. putler doesn't care, he will bleed his country to the last orc.

putin has made it clear he has no intention of volunteering to give up the territory that he has sent russian troops to steal from Ukraine, killing thousands of people in the process. While I am against war, I can't see there being any positive outcome to rewarding putin for killing thousands of innocent people and making millions of people homeless. It seems to me that both sides of the conflict are so far apart in what they consider a reasonable outcome that negotiations at this stage would be very unlikely to reach an agreement.

It is not just Ukrainian civilians who are being killed currently but according to some sources hundreds of russian troops every day. Is there a chance all of this loss of life in the russian armed forces is going to make them less likely to attack their neighbouring countries in future? Will Ukraine in years to come be more secure because putin will have done such a great job in hollowing out the armed forces of russia? Some sources claim there have been more than 130,000 soldiers fighting on the russian side killed since February last year and how many more have been permanently disabled by putin's quest to kill Ukrainians and steal their land?

With some of the sources you have confessed to believing in I think cloud cuckoo land is proabably too sensible for you and all I can say is to me it seems perfectly correct that putin should withdraw from the territory russia has invaded and compensate for the destruction he has caused. I think Ukraine can defeat the russian forces sent in to destroy their country. They have now a few hundred thousand well armed soldiers determined to protect their home and family from an invader who has proved to be willing to murder anyone they wish in the territory they have already occupied. I'm not sure it can be called winning with the level of destruction and killing the russian troops have brought with them but loosing from the Ukrainian perspective would very likely see them face even more genocide at the hands of the russians so there is going to be no lack of motivation from them to fight back. I don't understand your comment about treason but guess it is probably just a symptom of the general confusion you have repeatedly demonstrated about facts and reality due to consumption of large volumes of russian misinformation.

Proof? From Stormfront?

Probably in response to that outrageous threat from the tone deaf filth who head the IOC.

Crimea, the impregnable beach resort and retirement village.
