Poor Putin, feeble foolish dictator, always doing what evil NATO tells him to do, and failing miserably.

Or perhaps you're making shit up again.

Most important thing from this stuff is word ''ex''. I love how all thse former politicians, military experts and other people trying to become relevant by sharing their opinion about war, when in reality, their opinion doesn't matter and they don't play any role. And it doesn't even matter which side in this war they support.
And if you already decided to pay attention to what this grandpa said, I don't see nothing interesting in his words. He just said that ''Zelenskyy has made many Ukrainian people suffer''. Not sure how exactly, like he would be responsible that Russia started this war.

Wait, kremlinists now watch Arestovych? That would explain how they keep believing that Putin is winning by retreating.

It's a well-known "voenkor", shouldn't be hard to find. Not sure if it's a personal experience or they're retelling someone else's story though. But yeah, there were already some threats from Kremlin towards telegram warriors, because telling everyone that that king is naked - not acceptable.

Apart from that, you are using the oldest propaganda tactic in history - you classify a person or a group as something undesirable, so that anything you do after that becomes justified (e.g. despicable Arab terrorist, Capitalist American, Wicked Hilary, traitor Spansky ...). It is only for simple minds like yours, most people in the internet era can pick this easily.

Now to the topic. I don't understand the optimism of those people in this thread who support Ukraine, which behave like fans at a match, supporting their favorite team. For me, it's already obvious that at least Ukraine has already lost for sure for purely economic reasons around May, since its budget is supported entirely by Western financial injections. A 1/3 of the population has dispersed to different countries. Tens of thousands of dead soldiers on both sides. But even if the Russian troops stop fully attacking and simply stand on the defensive, this will still not save Ukraine, since the monetary yoke, generously thrown by its Western partners, has already lowered this country to the very bottom of a deep debt hole.

Western aid will not be eternal, and what will the population of Ukraine do, sitting without work, wages, heat, electricity? If the country's army is entirely paid from the budget of another state, then such an army is mercenary and it defends not national interests, but the interests of those who provide it. But where will the aggression of the Ukrainian army be directed when financial aid suddenly cuts off, have you thought about this? Guess from two times where Ukrainian citizens will go to save themselves, to Russia or Europe?

Maybe you should stop assuming that anyone who thinks it's fucked up what Russia is doing today supports every decision the US or UK or any other country has made over the past 60 years.  For example, I think the US is doing the right thing by supporting Ukraine.  That doesn't mean I think they did the right thing when they invaded Iraq 20 years ago.  I think the US as wrong to invade Iraq, but right to help Ukraine when they were invaded by Russia.  

Russia is invading Ukraine today.  That's what this thread is about.  Well, I guess technically they're retreating from Ukraine today.  But you know what I mean.

Are you defending Russia or what?  What is your point?  Could you attempt to articulate a point please?

You have to understand the difference between the "news" of the media you read and the News that free press can and does publish. About poking the bear... well the UK did not kill a dissident in Moscow with Polonium. That is poking.

On regards to UK becoming "small Britain", well, your comment is right... just 107 years old because it started with WW I.

Sounds like projection to me. This comment could only come from someone who doesn't live next to the border. Do you really think we are not aware what's happening next door when we have 1,340 km border with them. Do you really think we need to listen US for that and we don't have our own intelligence? You can do better than that. I am guessing that this is a non-issue for you as you don't have to think about it daily. We don't have that luxury of trolling with this subject. But we deal trolls that do every day.

So instead of trolling, try empathy next time.

In most Western countries the press is much more independent than in Russia.  In the US, anyone, including journalists from major media outlets, are free to criticize the government without having to fear going to jail or worse.

For any example of what you consider to be western media propaganda, you can find other western media arguing against it.  Hell, there are some main stream media outlets that regularly repeat Russian propaganda here.  The press has freedom to publish what they like, and the people have freedom to choose which sources they rely on for information.  That's what western media really is, fyi.

Sorry, your stupid post incited me to call you out for your support of RIPPLE'S FRAUD and your support of PUTIN'S WAR. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382794.msg60209344#msg60209344
Why always supporting criminals?
