Russia - threadbanned users in OP

is it only me, but I hear Skabeyeva or Simonyan when reading this 'article' from Marianne. No matter what rogber says or will say but it does sound awful much like ruSSian propaganda. I'm not saying situation on Ukrainian side is bad, just the wording in the article is like ruSSia propaganda ABC.

What is your realistic alterative? Giving Ukraine what it needs to win the war isn't going to happen.

At best Ukraine will be able to slowly retreat this year, if the 800k shells start to appear soon, at worse they will rapidly start to lose ground once the ground hardens.

Any chance of pushing Russia back is just a pipe dream. It was a long shot 12 months ago, as I and a few other tried to point out to people here, but there is zero chance now.

A Russian collapse from within is possible but Putin seems to have strengthened his position over the course of the war so that seems less and less likely as well - unless the current skirmishes are better than we have been told.

Why did you quote me???

Edit: never mind, just caught up with your follow up post giving some info on them. Cheers.

There's nothing logical or just about it. Even less so your bizarre false equivalence in dragging in some half baked constitutional referendum point. That's all there is to say to your post. You conveniently ignore the clearly explained responses given to you month after month, disappear for a while, and come back raising the exact same proposal. If you're going to ignore the responses given to you, then ignoring is definitely the solution I'll reach for.

They have been doing this kind of thing since the Soviet Union times. Apparently Patrushev is one of the masterminds behind it.

That's what happens when you bring your vodka to work.

There is a lot of questions raised in that piece that are valid despite the bias.

Are the Americans getting low on weapons? ( that would be insanely classified id imagine)

is that the real reason why the aid has stopped?

why can’t Biden executive order the weapons to Ukraine?? He is still the president. Is Trump/ Mike Johnson a smoke screen??

The sanctions might be working but they certainly haven’t crushed Russia. And if we had known 2 years ago what we know now we would have been underwhelmed with their results.

The strategy of slowly weakening Russia is flawed because it has given them ample time to ramp up their disinformation and propaganda campaigns to change attitudes in the west and this has yielded serious results for them. And which is not being countered in the west.

Haha.

Absolutely fuking not.

Trump could easily win and do who the fuk knows what.

Erdogan is openly siding with hamas.

Orban is in Putins pocket.

Greece and Turkey are permanently at each others throats. Cyprus is still disputed.

And then we have UKs legacy in the north. Ireland cant ally with that. During Brexit their foreign minister Patel was speaking of leveraging food supply routes against Ireland while alluding mockingly to the famine.

So 6 batsht situations in that sham of an organization.

I doubt you hear this "up and down the length of the country" as it is too much of a coincidence that it suits your narrative. But even if there's a glimmer of truth in it, it's more a reflection of the company you choose to keep than the reality. The reality being Ukraine needing military aid; not returned refugees.

All good reasons to join NATO.

Riiiiiight.
