Original thread:
What do you do, will that day come, and what will happen
Correct Toby. Nothing has changed in approx 60 years.
I remember last year when Kadyrov was supposedly on his deathbed... interesting comeback
Both sides are in a tough situation and gambling:
honestly, the fact that someone would think that is representative of an ordinary person says more about them and their use of the internet. It’s tedious at this stage. There was another poster, Linkoping or something, who used to do the same thing.
I don’t know why you feel the need to keep banging your head off that wall. It’s a pathetic approach to discussion and one that could be applied to any debate. Don’t like Travellers? Go online and find a few clips of them fighting. Don’t like the English? Go online and find a few reports of them acting like louts abroad. Don’t like the Irish? Go online and find a few reports of them fiddling kids and attacking refugees. “Ordinary Irish”…
It only took them nearly two weeks. Just “wondering”…
on unintended consequence of the war in general and specifically the incursion into Russian territory - ie Kursk- is that , now that others , eg Georgia, Chechnya and other unhappy ‘states’ within the Ru Federation, have seen Russia’s lack of capability and how it has now been exposed might decide that NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO ‘ GO FOR IT ‘
I wonder how Putin would handle being attacked from a number of fronts - fronts 100s/ 1000s’ miles apart?
Wow
Russians are chopping off heads and recording it on video which is all over social media
And instead of condemning yet another vile war crime by Russians you choose again to go off topic with a weird personal attacks of the messenger sprinkled with bizzare whataboutery about travellers
Meanwhile on Russian telegram channels “ordinary” Russians have responded to that video with thousands of smiling emojis
Neither is this an isolated incident, the UN repeatedly writes about sexual abuse, torture and mutilation (including castration) and murder of prisoners by Russians
Why would anyone want to downplay and dismiss these reports like you are doing raises questions of its own
Eh?
He has the same approach on the cycling forum, it gets boring very quickly
ah..I-wonder-man is back!
Report that things are not all going putin's way in the Donetsk attacks at the same time:

Also the count on artillery systems eliminated by Ukrainian forces yesterday reached over 70 with other recorded losses in putin's forces higher now that Ukraine have moved on to the offensive.
The Telegraph said that the number of Russian glide bombs used in the Donbas had halved too.
Pokrovsk still remains difficult, and it doesn't look like the Russians are pulling many troops from it to Kursk (interesting priorities, Ukrainian land vs their own)
The flipside is that the predicted counter-attack in Kursk by Russia could remain weaker and more fragmented for the time being
I wonder what you wish would come of this ?
Ahh. It's Curtis Steigers folks!.
You share links from probably the most dubious, pro-russian sources out there. The Hindustan Times? Really?
You're not fooling anyone here with the formula of :
" I wonder..." <insert Pro-Russian link here>"
Come on. Do better. Tell us how you really feel. After me...and a one, and a two...
And I wonder why
We hold on with tears in our eyes
We have to break down to just make
Things right
I can't seem to tell you goodbye
Yeah, I wonder why...<Insert Pro-Russian link here..>
.....beautiful, Curtisovsky. Just beautiful.
Lol,
This wont help the Russians paranoia either
That would be hilarious
After that Minsk in three days, the population will welcome them as liberators and Poland can breathe in relief
Taking Pokrovsk can be a game changer in Donetsk for Russia, eventually.
They'll keep that going first before Kursk.
That's one smart thing they are doing, they'll proceed to do 10 batchit crazy things to make up for it.
They could probably manage it too. Russia only has a token force there (apparently made of locals too).
The local population might be pretty hostile though, quite pro-Kremlin apparently. Ukriane could do it, but not an easy gig.
$4m Iskander missile to take out an inflatable decoy….

That would be great but there doesn't seem much likelihood.
What surprises me a bit more is that Islamic State hasn't figured this would be a good time to launch another attack on Russian soil.
While I certainly wouldn't wish for it to happen, I think Putin could be in serious trouble if there was simultaneously the Kursk invasion and a big attack in Moscow or Petersburg ....
This lad definitely dropped on his head
We could soon be back to "Belarus is entering the war on Friday".
I wonder if Putin twisted his arm to do this in attempt to distract Ukraine from the Kursk operation
Aggressive policy… when Russia invaded Ukraine through Belarus!
The lies are so blatant it is a loyalty test to go along with it.
There is going to be a booming bouncy castle business in Ukraine after the war
II doubt they are going to do anything, but Putins's vassal needs to make some noise every now and then or the boss will be unhappy.
Amazing reports of 18, 19 year old Russian soldiers being shot at by Chechens for retreating.
So what did they do?
Went back again and surrendered to the Ukrainians.
Chechens are cowards who shoot their own and traffic lights. Putin thinks he's smart having the Chechens as the second line to shoot any Russians who retreat.
They are the worst.
Chechens were part of the main border defence of Kursk. They fled when the Ukrainians approached.
To save face, their leader in the area said that they “missed the Ukrainians”. As in, they did not see the Ukrainians with their heavy military equipment as they ploughed through the border region. I’m not sure if that excuse is much better than saying they fled from them, when your job is to keep an eye out.
https://english.nv.ua/amp/kadyrov-s-troops-claim-they-missed-ukrainian-forces-in-kursk-oblast-50441440.html
Chechens are more interested in making TikTok videos, wearing Gucci and driving Cybertrucks than being effective in this war.
Part of that strategy by Putin is having the Russian public hate the chechen soldiers and then the chechen people. The chechen soldiers are following Putin's orders.
But people will blame it on chechens. Then if there's a revolt in Chechnya the hate will already have been built enough to level the place same as Ukraine. Putin built up the same hate for Ukrainians prior to the invasion with their bots and public misinformation.
Kadyrov doesn't care he's only there for the money and if there's trouble he'll flee to Russia.
