Mikey D regime, which of course is influenced by that evil Zelensky regime 😀
Malaise?
Wow the Putin regime defenders are all out in force and offended today
you will be given an answer in a sec and it will entail 'reds under the bed and it will be doing of Zelensky regime. But you asked for it, so be ready! 😀
The only thing “red” about the 21st century neo Nazi Russian regime are
Hamas is not extremist, AlQaida, Taliban, various Jihad groups are not extremist for ruSSia, but LGBTQ is.
The assumption is baseless unless external powers agree to freeze the conflict, one side or the other will collapse. The Korean situation only became possible because the major powers had enough and the US had the muscle to keep an army in place on the peninsula. North and South Vietnam, did not work there, once the US withdrew support, the South fell. Once the US withdrew from Afghanistan, the Taliban quickly seized power in a very successful operation.
Right now, it does not look good for the Ukrainian army, a key issue, they are running out of men and cannot sustain offense. See New Raft of Articles Tighten the Screws on Zelensky, Plead for Course Correction.
Zelensky has almost no options left other than to hang on and try not to lose any more major territories while hoping that perhaps he can bleed Russia enough to at least justify a ceasefire and freezing of the current lines. more
You just linked a fringe blogger who is anti-West/Ukraine and indirectly reproducing Kremlin koolaid.
"Anyone with eyes and brain can see Putin is not the ‘threat’ he’s sketched out to be, and that he’s in fact merely reacting to NATO’s own encroaching threat on his border."
It's Clare Daly/Mick Wallace style nonsense and it's embarrassing that some individuals at still posting this stuff
In terms of an outcome for the conflict, reread what I previously wrote.
Perhaps the 'Reds' are under the bed..
Daamn which Putin is that now in above photo
No. 3
A bit early to say if the 'stream' of weapons will end. The west knows that it is in its own interest to have a Ukrainian win.
She should have protested against the war on the streets at the start, too late for her son now, very sad country, just bringing misery for its citizens for centuries
#3 looks beautiful behind the bars of my jailed avatar 😂
jmr, why aren't there more reports of attacks against the police or recruitment officers? I think some of the centres themselves were damaged early on in the republics?
But if someone is going to take the ultimate step and commit suicide rather than go to the front, why don't they try and take a few of the regime with them? Is it a silence of the lambs thing? Are they so subjugated that they would prefer to go quietly than to make some sort of a stand?
Foreign fighters don't make up much of the Ukrainian military.
Ukraine has only lost around 10% to 15% of it's foreign supplied equipment, obviously there is constant attrition, but they are increasingly manufacturing equipment whether it's on their own or in conjunction with other countries (e.g. the new Rheinmetall plant).
Russia's economy is experiencing a bit of a "bounce back", but they are still in a considerably worse situation than if they hadn't have invaded, they've lost their biggest energy customers and permanently burnt many bridges.
I do see financial/support/arms aid possibly being impacted from international "war fatigue", but drying up will take quite awhile. Ukraine has just had 1.3 billion pledge this week from Germany and more supplies from the US. There's also significantly more appetite to seize the hundreds of billions of frozen Russian assets and use them to help Ukraine.
Has anyone told Ukraine that they ran out of men and weapons (again)? They should be the first to know, since they're the ones fighting fascism.
Or maybe they haven't been told, because it was all lies.
What the West seems to primarily want is to make sure Russia doesn't win. This is not the same as wanting Ukrainian victory.
Look at the way Scholz uses language, and Germany is now the biggest European supplier of weapons to Ukraine. It's always "Russia must not be allowed win this war", as opposed to "Russia must lose this war". Subtle but important difference.
Here's present day Russia for you Furze99, it may go some way explaining to you why there's no mass anti- Putin movements in Russia. (Actually, there has been mass protests against Putin in the past, but they were brutally suppressed by him. And he filled Russian jails with protesters, thousands and thousands of them.)
Russia is a very fair society, Russians are free to protest, and Putin is free to jail them when they do. And he has done it in the past, he's doing it now, in the present, and he will continue to do it while he lives. And you say that no government can stand against a population that is against them. Well, in Russia there's millions of Russians who want changes in their government but are unable to achieve it. And the link I posted goes a long way to explain why they are unable to change it. Oh, and one other thing Furze, concerning your insinuation that I'm a supporter of Putin because I'm making a case for ordinary Russians, is way off the mark. I'm stating facts, I know very well what Putin's Russia is like, after all I lived there, and believe me, there's no love lost between Vlada Putin and myself. You are saying that it's impossible for any regime to hold out against a population that will not accept such regime may be fine in theory but in practice, there's many Countries today where such a situation exists. Russia is one, NK, Iran, etc. All remarkably successful in suppressing their populations.
A victory for Ukraine ending his political career will be a victory I think he and any sane democratic loving person will be very happy to achieve.
Yup! Thats what Russia has always been like. You are free to protest etc., and the state is free to jail you for it (unless you recant and pay a fine, and apologize publicly for your "transgression")
What is this entity called "the West" and why its interest in a Ukrainian win? In the context you use it i.e "stream of weapons", "the West" is a synonym for NATO and the military industrial complex and what you are doing is feeding Russian propaganda claims that NATO is a threat to their existence. A Russian defeat does not bring an end to the war, it opens a vista like the final fall of the Ottoman empire, this time the Turkish leadership will seize their opportunity in the Middle East and more refugees will flee to Europe, where more of the population is becoming hostile to immigration causing more destabilisation in European governments. The refugees will also be coming out of Southern and Caucasus regions of Russia which will be undergoing a vicious civil war. Given Russia's primary activity as a commodities suppler to the world, then continued disruption to global supply lines will be a factor which create more consequences. No doubt Ukraine will want compensation to redress the damage done, what's left of Russia won't be paying.
I don't doubt that.
Do you want to see it happen?
By then he will have done the state some REAL service.
The “West” is the exact opposite of barbaric, neo fascist, ultranationalist, criminal, oligarchy that is modern Russia
I recommend you visit Russia for an extended period and find out, hopefully they let you back out and not gang press you to bleed out in a field for dear leader
I want to see a peaceful outcome to the war. It would be great if everyone in the trenches today decided f*ck this for a game of soldiers and simply went home, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
What do you propose russia should do to achieve your aim?
Russia has collapsed before, it wasn't some "world ending" event, quite the opposite. And that was when it was a superpower, now it's a heavily sanctioned country with a GDP smaller than the state of Texas.
The Kremlin was boasting of taking Ukraine in 3 days, instead they've lost over a quarter million men, and have been pushed back in one of the most humiliating military reversals in modern times. Has Putin lost any grip on power? Nope.
If Ukraine prevail further, the Russian kleptocracy will simply plow on as normal and continue blaming the West for all the problems. Like it's supporters do.
Russia can end the war at any time by simply turning around.
