It is interesting that you remembered international law now, and not a month ago, when the currency accounts of the Central Bank of Russia in dollars and euros were frozen, as well as after the parade of economic sanctions and the withdrawal of many companies from Russia with the refusal of their obligations. There is no more international law. And yes - this is primarily a blow to Germany, as the locomotive of the European Union. Now Germany will support the Russian ruble, or plunge into medieval darkness without heat and light. Perhaps the decision of the UK to leave the European Union was wise, because the fate of the European Union is very vague, it is likely to face an inglorious collapse into small European states - tolerant of refugees, homosexuals and decarbonized. Europe will get what it wanted and what it deserved.

LOL, you're right, flying is going to be the least of Russia's concerns. It's just one of many examples for how fucked Putin is. He had to steal foreign-leased airplanes, otherwise he'd have nothing.

How about sugar, figured that one out yet? Paper? Everything else that goes 2x up in price and/or disappears, including things that are supposedly made in Russia? Looks like someone didn't think through the whole "invade another country and fingers crossed for no sanctions" plan.

In short, it always arrives strictly only at the place where reconnaissance drones or space satellites recorded firing at the positions of Russian troops. An exception to this rule is military infrastructure objects confirmed by intelligence (military airfields, fuel and ammunition depots, etc.). This operation is also Putin's performance for NATO combat generals, who are closely watching what is happening and they are not brainwashed by inspiring propaganda, they soberly assess what is happening. Putin shows NATO the capabilities of modern Russian weapons and how to fight - without general mobilization, without numerical superiority and without burning entire neighborhoods with fire.

NATO does not get involved in this war - so the lesson is learned correctly. Biden said yesterday that the Kinzhal hypersonic missile is basically nothing special, it's just almost impossible to stop. It flies for 1000 kilometers at a speed of Mach 10 in a cloud of hot plasma, invisible to missile defense radars and at the same time able to maneuver. It is capable of hitting buried objects protected from nuclear weapons or, for example, an aircraft carrier. NATO thought it was a cartoon, because they have nothing like this in their arsenal, but it turned out to be a reality. Didn't the Russian Solntsepek system impress you? This is the one that destroyed the barracks at the express training center for reservists the night before yesterday. For the townsfolk, what is happening is a tragedy, but for the military, it's just work. And the Russian military is doing a good job.
Of course it's a success. What makes you think that a blitzkrieg was planned? From Russia, about 200 thousand soldiers take part in the operation, against 300 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (whom the West has been pumping up with weapons for many years and trained by NATO instructors) and with a total length of the front line of 3.5 thousand kilometers. Now look at the map of hostilities (if you do not believe the data of the Russian Defense Ministry, take the data that is published in the West). Or is it presented in the Ukrainian media as a tactical lure of Putin's soldiers to their territory before a decisive march on Moscow?  

Really?

IMO, petitions is one of the most pointless things ever. Nobody is paying attention to it in democratic countries and now we are talking about mad dictator who don't care about people lifes, sanctions that kill his country economics and long term consquences of war. But no, he will stop war because of petition. Petitions is good thing only to show people's position.

What do you expect Zelensky to do? Give up and let Russia to occupy country. And if you follow his statements, Ukraine has already lost hope to be ever accepted in NATO or that they will announce no-fly zone over Ukraine.

70 isn't that much. War or genocide criminals were punished even at 90 years or even more. Though, I hardly see scenario how to capture him. But anyway, Putin didn't deserved to die in natural way after all he did.
And I afraid that next president after Putin won't be much better, considering that majority of Russians support their current politics direction and this war too.

JPM Trading Desk Hints Zelensky Close To "Capitulation"
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/jpm-trading-desk-asks-if-zelensky-close-capitulation

In Kyiv on May 9 2022, a traditional parade will be held in honor of the victory of the USSR over Nazi Germany. It is naive and foolish to doubt it.

And yet you just did it. 

I think in Ukraine everything will be about the same as in Georgia, after the armed conflict in Abkhazia and North Ossetia, which Georgia still considers to be occupied territories. Abkhazia is now almost like Russia, you can enter there without a visa on an internal Russian passport and the currency there is the Russian ruble. In Abkhazia, they love and respect the Russians, who saved them from the attack of Georgian thugs. Russians are also loved and respected in Georgia. Although the Russian military is still in Abkhazia, which Georgia considers its territory. This is a paradox and at the same time it is true.

Russia does not need the love of Ukrainians and their flowers for Russian soldiers. Ukraine is a heterogeneous country - eastern Ukraine is historically Russian-speaking and traditionally loyal to Russia, while western Ukraine historically gravitates towards Poland and is in opposition to Russia. So did Poland, although Russia liberated it from Nazi Germany. These are the features of the national mentality in which these nations find their self-identity. This is acceptable for Russia as long as the anti-Russian rhetoric does not go into action and become a source of strategic threats to Russia's security.

and how do you know that anonymous didn't lied, its doubtful you can even believe jews anymore (look at zelinski). anonymous has been exposed as being a left wing woke hacker, he is likely just an invention of left wing mainstream media workers in the west.

its pointless to take "anonymous" serious he is a joke like the woke mainstream media staffers in the west.

Only far-right nationalists with swastika tattoos have no choice.

The occupation of Ukraine is not the purpose of the special operation. Ukraine will lose its army and ultra-right nationalists, just as it has already lost Crimea, Donbass and Lugansk. And then she will begin to build a new peaceful life, while maintaining neutrality and loyalty to Russia. Because the blood ties between our peoples are stronger than the current ideological differences.

Without control over airspace, the Ukrainian army is doomed to defeat, with or without Javelins. And NATO prudently refused to close the airspace. I do not think that the Ukrainians are so stupid as to fight to the last Ukrainian without a chance of success.

I see you are far from understanding such things. The Kinzhal hypersonic missile was recently successfully field-tested to demonstrate the capabilities of modern Russian weapons. And I think that the Pentagon's generals correctly interpreted this message (and it's not hypersonic missiles that European generals need to worry about, if an old Soviet reconnaissance drone launched from Ukrainian territory flew unhindered through several European countries and self-destructed). There is no good reason to fire cannons at sparrows in normal mode, so they mainly use proven reliable weapons and ammunition with an expiring shelf life, which are more expensive to dispose of than to use for their intended purpose.

These are not democratic elections, when the population is asked about something. Ukrainian soldiers can lay down their arms at any moment and go home. Donbass and Lugansk asked Russia for help and they will receive it in full.

I haven't read such big nonsense for a while. If they want to ''demilitarize'' Ukraine, why they are targeting civilian objects - aprtment houses, schools, hospitals, theatres, churches and so on? Is it military objects? There was report that 90% of buildings in Mariupol were more or less damaged or destroyed by Russian army. If they will want to use Ukraine as strategic region for their economic, first they will have to spend many billions to rebuild country. And I hope that they will have to spend these billions as war reparations, same as Germany did after WW2.

There is plenty of history on the formation of any estate, and Ukraine is no different. In modern times, it is the people that live in a region or country that have the right to decide their future and their organisation. It is just silly pretending that you have to go back decades or even centuries and then wage a war on those grounds and certainly Putin does not give a ****k about that.

This war is only about Putin loosing their geostrategic grip and exclusive access on a large part of the former USSR republics, including some of the most strategic and financially critical regions such as the Black Sea and Azov Sea. All the rest is the trolls trying to make noise and trying to blame the war on things that are absolutely irrelevant to Putin and his entourage.

The sad truth is that Putin has failed to seduce, use diplomacy or economically influence those territories and he is using the last resource of the incompetent: war.



And as for how to stop the guy

The Russia-Ukraine situation really brings to light a few questions; why did NATO continue to exist after the fall of the Soviet Union, despite the downfall of the USSR being the goal of establishing NATO in the first place? Now, the same people who cooked up the Iraq War, are now driving another war, this time in Ukraine - apparently now the US' greatest ally, by the way the media have portrayed this. Give thanks to Putin, as he has ended COVID-19 - you don't see it on the news anymore.

Ukraine don't even qualify for NATO, nor do NATO even want Ukraine to join in the first place, because of Ukraine's corrupt history. Ukraine joining NATO would be more of a liability than a military asset to the United States and NATO. Yet Congress and the US seem(ed) pretty intent on wanting Ukraine to join NATO, not because it would be a strategic advantage, but just to spite the Russians.

In other words, the whole situation is a mess. It serves no strategic advantage to the United States whatsoever by pursuing defence of Ukraine, whilst simultaneously igniting economic warfare with Russia. Joe Biden at his State of the Union speech bragged about how the Ruble lost 30 points in a single day, and that it was a moral victory. This was not a victory, it was a sign of how the USD can be used a weapon. Everyone in Russia, 99.99% of those in the population had nothing to do with this conflict, suddenly became much poorer in a single day - they impoverished an entire nation, yet you are told this is a moral victory. It begs the question, are the US actually trying to ignite all-out war with Russia?

It is yet another manufactured crisis. As we have seen over the past few years, the US Government love to give themselves emergency powers in response to crises that they have sensationalised and created. Power-hungry neocons in Washington DC want another war. War makes money.

Clint Erlich, recently said that a former Obama Administration official wants the United States to invade Crimea to drive Russian forces out of there. What exactly do the US want in Ukraine?

We now know that they house military-funded bio(warfare) laboratories in Ukraine, which in itself is suspicious. Ukraine are one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in Europe, and are not known for their biomedical engineering prowess, so why have the United States set up "research facilities" there, and why did they not secure them in anticipation of an invasion, which they themselves knew was going to happen? A few years ago, you could freely view a US "research facility" based in Odesa, Ukraine, on the State Department's website. Now though, that link is undefined and the page was taken down - interesting.

Alexandra Chalupa | @AlexandraChalup | 18/01/22 | : "This isn't journalism, it's an ongoing FARA violation. Tucker Carlson needs to be prosecuted as an unregistered agent of the Russian Federation and treason under Article 3, Sec. 3, Clause 1 of the US Constitution for aiding an enemy in hybrid warfare against the United States."

Couple things odd about this:
1) He did not take a pro-Russia stance, he merely questioned the US Government and their intentions. So much for free speech.
2) "Hybrid Warfare against the United States"? Keep in mind, this tweet was on the 18th of January, long before Russia stepped into Ukraine. Does this elicit that the US planned and wanted this?

It seems as though the Biden Administration care more about the sovereignty and border integrity of a poor Eastern European country bordering Russia, compared to how much they care about their own borders back home. Someone might want to tell Joe Biden that opening up the borders and ridding Title 42 may not be such a good idea, as there is a violent Civil War occurring as we speak in Mexico - more than 100,000 young men disappeared in Mexico last year. Automatic rifle fire was exchanged in Texas last week, courtesy of an immigrant who crossed the Mexico-US border, who did not want to be arrested for carrying lethal fentanyl across the border. There was a violent war between Azerbaijan and Albania that ended approximately half a year ago, but I bet you didn't hear about this, all you've heard about is Ukraine. You have probably not heard either about the Ethiopian Civil War, nor about how the United States practically contributed to human slavery now occurring in Libya.

Question them or speak the truth, and you'll be labelled Pro-Putin, and subsequently censored.

The imminent threat to the United States is China, not Russia. The US Military, as impressive as it is, cannot hold stature in both Eastern Europe and Asia, so by pursuing defence of Ukraine, by definition, the US are not focusing on China. This entire situation, has pushed Russia and China into an alliance, not just against the US Military, but against the USD itself. When the USD is replaced as the world's reserve currency, whether it's replaced by Digital Yuan or potentially Bitcoin, the majority of the US population, will become poor and impoverished overnight. The US' Foreign Policy on Russia in the last year has driven Russia and China closer, the US' two biggest threats, are now working together, in spite of the USD. People do not and will not understand the genuine ramifications of this, until it eventually happens.

Are the US trying to destroy themselves?

NATO was formed in order to collectively defend against Russia. Before the invasion, there was no realistic chance that Ukraine was going to join NATO. Provided that Ukraine is not occupied by Russia, it will be pushed to join NATO after the war is over.

The Russian invasion is Ukraine is likely to result in Russia being unable to supply gas to Europe, as Europe will be unwilling to buy Russian gas over the long term.

Russia offered it a long time ago with this conditions:


Donetsk, and Luhansk people already decided many times over what they want and they decide and not some corrupt drug addict far far away.

 Ukraine says no longer insisting on NATO membership
https://uk.yahoo.com/news/nod-russia-ukraine-says-no-165955908.html
Exactly what is so bad about a neutral country like switzerland, austria or sweden

They are saying they will take no part in the war but at the same time, they are supplying Ukraine with weapons. Not only both countries but also the whole EU's resources will be depleted because of the war. Other NATO members are also proving help to Ukraine and even many countries are thinking about sending peacekeeping missions to Ukraine with will lead to a direct conflict between NATO and Russia.

If NATO really sent a peacekeeping force or declare Ukraine air space as a no-fly zone then Europe will be responsible for another world war.

Yes, it is his plan. That is only if he is able to murder Zelenskyy. See the number of hit squads/mercenary groups that have attempted to assassinate him: https://nypost.com/2022/03/09/zelensky-has-survived-more-than-a-dozen-assassination-attempts-aide-says/

They can't be cheap, must serve a purpose eh?

Do you think Ukraine will become part of Russia? How else would you expect they be governed? If Zelenskyy survives, then no problem for Putin. He will murder enough citizens until a concession is forced from Ukraine. Either way, Putin will be in control of the Ukrainian government,
