The Turks are worse than those Russian pigs when it comes to football. Though maybe not in the same league as the Serbs.
All the same, Fenerbahce should get a 10 year ban from UEFA club comps for doing that.
Nearly as bad as English fans!
I said around October that Crimea would be under sovereign Ukrainian territory by summer of this year and I stand by that.
In fact, if Ukraine could organise enough mechanised armour and mobile air defence to keep up with it, I feel that Ukraine could carry out a modern day lightning war and rout the Russians from all of their land within months.
The flimsiness of the Russian military, in men and armaments, has proven to be absolutely incredible.
I said the exact same,
But many on here laughed at the idea,
Ukrainians are refugees not asylum seekers.
UN projects that the population will not recover. Obviouslh the long term decline up to 2100 is not unique to Ukraine, most countries show that same decline. But the sharp drop in 2022 and very small up tick after (assuming a timely end to the war), most are not returning.
Also, I find the Ukrainian people to be very like us, only the accents are different, and the clothes of the older, rural people.
They seem to look much more like us than Mediterranean or Scandinavian people.
And their sense of humour is very similar to ours.
I hope enough stay to maintain a sizeable Ukrainian presence in Ireland.
Im not so sure with the timeline ... The area where you can attack is only 9km wide with two roads going north south and these roads come together in Armiansk ... That area will be a death zone imo littered with mines and strong defences.... What they could do is cut the water supply again and keep hammering that Kerch bridge.. And than see who last the longest
I wouldn’t laugh at the suggestion myself, but I’d recommend tempering expectations. There’s plenty other objectives to secure before they can even plan for Crimea.
That said, I’d be delighted if an AFU counter-attack was so effective that it routed the Russians out of all of Southern Ukraine by the start of summer. I would truly love to raise a glass of summer beer in celebration of a Ukrainian victory there, but if the Russians still have some fight in them, I think it’s probably going to take a bit longer.
I hope for victory in the near future, but I’m going to assume that it’ll take a while.
That still image inspired me to Google what Orban's weight is.
This was the top response:
This is not a 71kg man
He ate the 71kg man.
If the Russians get routed by conventional military means, there's always the danger that Putin won't simply give up if he's allowed stay in power and opt for nukes or chemical weapons out of desperation. I'm not saying that Putin should be given leeway because of this, but there needs to be a plan in place to head off this eventuality. This is why I would suggest that alongside military aid to Ukraine, there needs to be a coup organised in Russia to usurp/kill Putin along with his cronies.
Did a Serb drive over your dog at some stage Lar? They're living rent free inside your head 😀
He might use nukes if he wasn't so worried about his own skin. I mean the giant table (must be because Hitler was saved by one) and the use of doubles, as in 'his' latest visit to Ukraine.
I wonder what would happen if one of his doubles was killed...?
I'm still hoping for a scheduling mixup where we see Putin standing waiting for his guest to arrive and in walks another Putin 😂
They would probably say he rose from the dead a few days later.
I knew he never went to ukraine, he is too much of a coward to do that.
Unfortunately not one bit surprised
RAF rivet joint aircraft was patrolling over the blacksea earlier today escorted by 2 armed typhoon fighter jets ,
This is your life..will the real Putin please stand up?
I read that this morning. Just an awful story.
This is the naked and ugly truth of them. Punishing children because they painted a picture. It wasn't even a sexual image. Nothing violent. Nothing blasphemous even. Just something that didn't fit the Kremlin narrative.
How in the hell can posters continuously go to bat for this regime, either directly or indirectly?
I still think Crimea is off the table for the foreseeable. IMHO it's more a geopolitical football for both Ukraine and Russia to kick back and forth. Eastern Donbas similarly. Why? Well a lot of Crimea's Ukrainians left or were forced to leave, like the Tartars before them. Good oul Russia... Donbas has been a civil warzone for ten years and the kindling was there before that. So in both cases there are more pro Russians in both areas, especially since this current Russian invasion/war.
As I was saying earlier, IMHO Russia lost the second they crossed the border. Even if they had managed to take the whole country, they'd still be losing. If a people don't want you in their country, you WILL lose and you WILL leave. The only question left to answer is how many people have to die before you do. The only conflict in modern history where this didn't happen was after the fall of nazi Germany. Even then West Germany was autonomous within a decade and though East Germans had to wait another 30 plus years, while Russia had to build walls to keep them in, in they end they had to leave there too. Ditto for Poland and the other ex Eastern Bloc nations. Ditto for the US in Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Russia in the latter too. More of their soldiers were killed after they took those places. Ukraine would be the same. Look at "dropped cigarettes" and car bombs behind Russian lines. There's none of that behind Ukrainian lines. That speaks volumes. I strongly suspect if Ukraine were to go back to her pre 2014 border, they'd be the ones dealing with that.
It's the land bridge between them that's most certainly up for grabs. Yes Russia drove out many pro Ukrainian folks, or they left when Russia was blasting the hell out of the place, but there's a LOT more Ukrainian support on the ground, however quiet they have to keep it now.
Not even a crudely drawn penis or tits, I was only thinking the same to myself earlier.
I read that three times before I realised the fighter jets didn't have human arms, but weapons
An excellent presentation. Some good points from about 14.20 onwards. Essentially, we may dismiss and belittle Russia and their capabilities, but that would be a mistake. They're not stupid. They have adapted in past conflicts, to devastating effect.
They also have an uncanny knack of finding solutions to problems using whatever they have around them.
There were also comments about the supposed unreliability of their missile launch systems. That, in my opinion, would be a definite underestimation. One thing Russia is very, very good at is producing and maintaining launch systems. Up to this year, Russia, with the Soyuz system, had the most reliable launch system in the world. Then along came the Falcon 9.
My point is, now is not the time for the West or Ukraime to become complacent. None of us really know what's going on on the ground.
Highly recommend this video...
Interesting comments about the orcs redeploying forces from the east to more defensive positions.
I can smell this offensive is near.
This is a very likely scenario in my book.
The Ukrainians have been very clever about all this. They started this war at a huge disadvantage to the orcs, but over the course of the year they've massively closed the gap. If we're not already there, the moment when Ukraine is the stronger is coming very soon.
Once the scales tip in favour of Ukraine, this war ends as the orcs will simply have nothing left to fight with. This moment is coming a lot soon than people realise, could see it happening June/July personally.
You could probably call what the value of a bitcoin will be in June/July with the same confidence!
He'll probably try to say that he meant the culmination of the orc defeat 😜
A good question to ask the Muscovite ambassador to Australia. It is probably not true re the fate of that 15 yo girl and his daughter but ask him to check it out and report back!!!!!!!!!
Wonder how many SVR Illegals in Ireland? We have weak counter-intelligence, like Slovenia.
Liam Smaul, a retired Special Branch detective who worked in counter-intelligence, said: “There are likely to be many agents with Irish citizenship and networks of Russian illegals living in Ireland. Russian spying is no longer confined to intelligence officers working from the embassy.”
"When people started arriving here from Russia and the former Soviet Union in the Nineties we looked at it as an immigration issue and not as a security one,” added Smaul, who recalls how some ethnic Russians often claimed to be Moldovan or Georgian.
