Expect an appearance on the late late
A face to the name. Doubt she'd be welcome in Kazakhstan either.
Hopefully she gives up all contacts and associations to the authorities.
No it will probably go on in to next year.
It may also see a Russian front collapse.
Russia has only one role of the dice left to gain ground in the 4 oblasts it now claims and it is getting harder each day to see that happening.
Stalemate and bloodshed for a year likely, a Russian success, holding what they now have, that would be some achievement. Their performance has been miserable .
The only route to peace involves the total anilation of orcs forces in Ukraine and the return of occupied territories,all occupied territories,
Then we will have peace,you giving away Ukrainian land ends in more wars ,
Not peace
lol
You've watched too much Braveheart lad.
You're whipping yourself into some fantasy frezny that won't turn out like you imagine.
I was watching another video report from Ukraine...an old woman saying she just wants peace. The price to pay for peace and lives saved, is worth it right now imo.
Give them Donbas and Crimea and then join NATO and the nukes in ASAP.
Well considering the Ukrainan counter hasn't begun,
The orcs are getting slaughtered in the tens of thousands a month , they have little or no heavy armor and can't move freely without getting detected by an army of drones followed rapidly by Ukrainian artillery.
Just wait and see what happens when 100,000 + Ukrainians make their move it's going to be pure carnage
Wish I could remind myself in 1 year.
And you'd think 9 months or so after the "Russian army is on brink of collapse, zero morale and old weapons", people would wake up and see this war is not ending anytime soon.
It seems to be the case either they have intentionally limited there use or they don't have the massive unlimited stocks of weapons as previously claimed by various sources over the years ,
The RPG ia a point and shoot weapon accurate at close range where you can see what your hitting, but not so accurate at range against a moving targets ,
We've seen more than a few videos of Ukrainans IFVs and tanks engaging orc infantry without taking any Anti tank fire ,i think HiMars strikes have completely degraded supplies to units in occupied territories
Interesting theory on the Nordstream explosions.
In short, NS2 ruptured due to shoddy welds and Russia blew NS1 to cover it (potentially they had explosives already placed well in advanced and feared they would be discovered if the pipeline was inspected)
It's a little more believable than Hersh's take that was totally debunked.
I’m sure there are many soldiers who don’t want to be there but their choices are limited until there is a change in regime. Not every British soldier was a cold blooded murderer on Bloody Sunday, not every German soldier was a Jew hating nazi, not every Serb wanted ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, not every American soldier agreed with shock and awe in Iraq.
I suspect the most plausible scenarios are lots of fighting but little progress on both sides or the Russians being pushed back and who knows what Putin does next.
My preference is for peace rather than death and of course any brutalisation is unacceptable.
If Wagner or other private army looks to be even remotely looking like a threat to Putin… you could see China willing to “help” Putin/Russia by entering Russia to protect Chinese Russians. It’s what Putin would do.
If they have lost as much as we think/hope they have in Ukraine then their borders must be guarded in name only.
IF Russia has limited use of RPGs or the like. When Ukraine get the Bradley’s it could/should be carnage for the Mobiks.
Fighting the Red Army in Ukraine in order to fight its big brother in Communist China.
And we have posters on here saying that while they can understand there being no protests in Russia by Russians (for obvious reasons,) they cannot understand why Russians living abroad cannot protest...sure they can, and this is what happens. Putins murderous ideology can be found anywhere there are Russian's, we have the Z brand here even in Ireland.
What do you think your chums (those not already dead) are doing right now in Ukraine - giving football exhibitions to grateful Ukrainians?
Assuming Putin isn’t dethroned, how do you see this ending? Are you okay with Ukrainian civilians being brutalised? Can you see that the Russian INVADERS dying is the least worst scenario?
How typically original of them.
Ukraine's Interior Ministry forming volunteer assault brigades known as Offensive Guard.
Ihor Klymenko, Acting Minister of Internal Affairs, has said that the Interior Ministry has begun forming assault brigades known as Offensive Guard to strengthen the Defence Forces and liberate the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
Quote from Klymenko: "The decision to create assault brigades was made by our employees, who have enough rage to beat the enemy. Many of our servicemen who have defended and are defending our country came up with the initiative to recruit people to such units.
I've posted about these before, they got 20,000 applications from volunteers.
They also managed to mobilse 100,000 in two days very recently.
I lived in London through the 80's during some of the worst days of the troubles and only once had any **** given to me for being Irish, and that was after a partcuarily nasty IRA "incident".
Being Irish over there during those days made me very aware of generalising about whole populations during times of trouble, though today I have to admit I'm finding it very hard when I hear Russian spoken in public, or interact with a Russian not to feel a "little agitated".
Wouldn't be at all surprised if they sent vips to fly her home with some sob story
More on her here
If the entirety of the Wagner group asked for asylum here. It would be granted.
Crimea is still the goal in the latest interview with Zelensky
..
Portable flame throwers .
I take it doesn't mean Tos-1s
Lack armor is a huge issue for them too ,
Your sympathies for those guys you played football with would likely end very quickly if they were in your country, killing your people. So possibly get the priorities on your "concerns" in the right order.
The Irish government deporting anyone? Bless. I wish I had your optimism.
Regular guys slaughtering unarmed Ukrainans, raping women , children and old ladies, torturing villages , massacres
Sorry no .
Because Trent isn't talking about it ,like he's alternative views on the use of mig 29s dropping glide bombs,in coincidence with Bidens visit.
You's were wrong
I see his commander who fled to Norway seeking asylum was arrested the other night for assaulting Norwegian police officers.
But he's going to get caught between a rock and a pretty hard place prigozhin,he's either going to have to evacuate himself to warmer climates or hope the Russian army doesn't start hammering his Wagnerites
I’ve lived in Russia, played Astro turf football at the weekend with lots of young Russian lads being called up to the army, know their partners, kids etc. It’s a horrific war and I condemn Putin and his cronies but the ‘soldiers’ are often just regular guys
