Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

So 2 cables became unavailable over the weekend, Finland - Germany and Lithuania - Sweden, and the general consensus here is that it must've been the Ukraine? I'm confused. Why would a country busy repelling invaders busy themselves with sabotage of cables between their supporters and in seas they have no access to? Is there any evidence to suggest that the Ukrainians have destroyed anyone's property other than (deservedly) in Russia?

ah common Wibbs, I knew it from their first sentence which camp they are from and who they represent.

better to ignore, clearly a mentally ill person.

you are responding to a previously banned kremlin mouthpiece. Just ignore them.

It's insanity, a last ditch effort by the outgoing warmongers headed by their debilitated frontman to escalate an already lost war beyond repair. Some people just want to see the world burn.

Especially since Russia's logic that these missiles require targeting information (satellite) and operators which Ukraine simply does not have meaning that NATO is directly involved shooting missiles at Russia is difficult to deny.

I know this thread is obviously falling over themselves with the 'great news' but are you really happy for that sort of brinkmanship by some clowns across the Atlantic playing with everyone's future as if it was some great game of poker? This isnt a game you know where you can make yourself feel great and 'winning' by cr@pping the most cr@p on boards or twitter. This is the real world and it's serious.

This thread is so depressing. Yay war. And then people are asking how WW1 and WW2 could have happened. How they were all so wound up and happy to go to war back then and how they could be so easily manipulated. Well, look at yourselves, thats how it happened. People just dont learn it seems.

The war isn't lost. Ukraine still holds on to most of its territory and even a bit of Russia. Russia is losing oil, its Ruble is falling and has to get men from North Korea! With western support Russia or Putin will crack.

I'd like to argue that no one here is an actual Putinist. It's such a lame ass phrase. Same as 'Kremlin spin machine'. So like no one is allowed to say anything against the US narrative 'cos it would be something that the Kremlin might say? There is literally no sense in that and it stinks of preemptive framing and manipulation. Surely you must see that?

You would happily see Putin take every country in Europe, so long as Ireland you are 'safe'. Chamberlain had a similar stance to you, and didn't that work out just peachy.

Biden is a war monger while Putin should be allowed to run free in the world and do as he wishes because any other option would be dangerous? That path does not lead to peace. The war in Ukraine is a direct result of a lack of standing up to Putin in the past which emboldened him to make the calculation invading Ukraine would be a cinch and as consequence free as invading Crimea, Poisoning the Skripals, assassinating Litvinenko, and so on.

We are where we are because of gutless appeasement in the past, and you want more of it.

I don't agree with your world view and despise your stance.

I’m not just really happy, I’m f*c*en delighted🤣

What's wrong with it if used correctly? Too on the nose, or worried someone reading might think you are one?

A possible definition: a "Putinist" is person who supports VV Putin's leadership of Russia, the Russian state ideology/political system, and domestic and foreign policy (incl. invasion and annexation of Ukraine, its destruction as an independent state).

It certainly seems to fit at least a few posters on the thread, incl. the one that was in question! edit: actually that one in particular lol!

I see "Putinism" has its own wiki page defining it (not so surprising, given how long the man has been in power in Russia and the impact he has had on it and on the world) so calling a follower/fanboy an "ist" seems reasonable.

surely nobody takes the above scribbled seriously. its not like you are just in the door on this forum. Regulars know you and your position very well.

I don't agree with article 5 but the response should be increased military aid for Ukraine.

Russia basically printing money now. Not going to help inflation.

Yes off course, this has all just been a misunderstanding. No wait, it is a repeat of what happened in the 1930s. That poster is seriously deluded and has disgusting viewpoints on this with wanting to appease the evil that is Putin and Russia.
