Imagine how much your country and "most powerful" army needs to suck when your 5 day war takes a over a year and took lives of nearly 200k of your soldiers.
At the same time whole world hates you and lots of them are not planning to go "back to normal" even when Putin dies and war is over.

And only people defending your victories are dictators and deranged and mentally challenged forum trolls.

It's sort of sad and funny how some western trolls in are totally unaware of their privileges of free speech and they are using that freedom to praise dictators who take that freedom away from their own citizens.

I don't know whether you guys know most of the interviews from Putin that are available on Youtube. I find it impressive over and over again how he can blatantly lie, watching straight into the eyes of the interviewer with the most preposterous statements one can imagine.

I just recently saw the interview where he was asked about the commercial flight of Ryanair being forced to land by fighting jets from Belarus, when the journalist Roman Protasevich was immediately captivated with his girlfriend right after the forced landing. Protasevic was then tortured in an extremely awful way, his face was smashed and then heavily made-up and put in front of a camera. There he gave an interview that he regrets everything and made mistakes.

Asked what Putin thinks about it, he answered that as far as he knows the plane wasn't forced to land, it requested an unplanned emergency stop because it was suspected they had a bomb on board or something. The landing had nothing to do with politics, it was only for the safety of the passengers. Cheesy

The stories he sometimes tells are so absurd that I find myself shaking my head and smiling desperately because there are people who believe those stories.

The stuff he talks about Ukraine would actually be hilarious if there was no war. The war is just too serious.

And finally I get why the propaganda worked for Hitler. If there is only a single radio channel and state controlled media, it is difficult to inform yourself otherwise. But the Russians can't fully restrict the Internet, can they? Technically, aren't the several ways to circumvent access blockings and such? He can't prevent every single VPN from working or how is that possible? Anyway, it is devastating to see how much support he gets from his people. I know that he puts them into prison, kills them, tortures them and whatever else he enjoys. But so many survey results are still deeply concerning. That is one thing I don't understand. Is all of that fake or is the majority of people in Russia still backing him because he tells them that German nazi tanks are on their way towards Moscow?

Putin doesn't lie all of the time. Neither does Biden.  But Biden lies a whole lot more.

Cool

Yeah, seems that plane wasn't damaged.
Oops, theguardian posted a fake. Grin

But there is more epic video published, than potentially destroying plane:
https://t.me/truexanewsua/69925
Cheap FPV drone arrived to air base unnoticed, landed on the plane and after some time it fly away from airbase. Just perfect level of Belarus air defence.
Ahaha, just now you were celebrating a $330 million plane damage, and now you're celebrating a video from a cheap drone. You don't need much to be happy, just a drop of propaganda shit.

Of course you are a Nazi. The cultivation of hatred for everything Russian in Ukraine has become the cornerstone of the formation of national identity in Ukraine in recent history. You are not just Ukrainian, you are anti-Russian.

I'm not Ukrainian, but yeah, I'm anti-Russian and I don't see any reasons to like Russia. But if I'm Nazi just because I don't like Russians, then who are you?:
It does not matter how many houses will have to be destroyed and how many more people will have to be killed.
There can be no half measures in the fight against Nazism. You, too, will be denazified if you do not reconsider your views on this issue.

I am surprised there haven't been any threads opened about this yet.

In recent months, Russia has massed hundreds of thousands of troops and other military equipment on the Russia-Ukraine border. It is well known that Russia wants Ukraine to be part of its county, however Russian dictator, President Putin, has claimed that the troop mass is part of a training exercise.

The US and NATO allies are sending military equipment to Ukraine to help repeal an attack, and there is some talk about possibly sending troops to the region.

Update 2/18/22:
It appears there may have been some kind of false flag operation in Dumbas, Ukraine, an area controlled by a separatist group, today, possibly involving an alleged bombing of the car belonging to the leader of the separatist group. It is possible this is part of some kind of false flag operation to create a pretext for an invasion.

President Biden today said he believes Putin has made the decision to invade and will start an invasion in the coming days.


Update 2/21/22:
It appears an invasion has begun


Update 2/23/22:
It appears there are some kind of bombings in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine




Surprisingly,these two countries had an amicable relationship dating back to the 90's.But the now Russian president putin apparently refusal to recognize Ukraine as an independent state led to the invasion of it's major cities like kharkiv,cherniviv,Mariupol and counting.Mr Putin fears Ukraine's border might be used by NATO to expand their territories.His first point of call was attack crimear.Today,the war has lingered for one year +, something president putin thaught was going to be a walk over.other major surprise's awaits him still as we continue to watch as things unfold in the on going war with Ukraine

So I am a Nazi because I don't like what killers are doing? By this definition all decent people are Nazis, the rest are killers or killers' supporters.

Look in the mirror. Are you happy when Ukrainians die? You have your answer who the real Nazi is.

It seems that it is the Ukrainians that are killing the Ukrainian civilians.

Watch the top Youtube video here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441018.msg61849882#msg61849882. The Ukrainians civilians and independent news people are saying it themselves, that it is Ukrainian tanks shelling Ukrainian apartment complexes.

It's so sad to see these Ukrainian boys and elderly men die in a useless fight. All that US money and armament wasted. Ukraine is losing it. And Zelensky isn't even honorable enough to tell the truth. There are several videos listed in the sites below.



Ukraine to RETREAT from Bakhmut following intense Russian offensive




https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-02-ukraine-to-retreat-from-bakhmut.html
Following an intense Russian offensive, Ukraine is seriously considering retreating from the strategically important city of Bakhmut in the disputed Donetsk People’s Republic.

This is according to Alexander Rodnyansky, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said in an interview with CNN that the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city have not yet pulled out, but the country’s top brass are considering if the cost of holding Bakhmut “outweighs the benefits.”

But when talking about a potential retreat from Bakhmut, known by the Russians as Artyomovsk, Rodnyansky refuses to call the situation a defeat and instead referred to it as a “strategic pull back.” (Related: German intelligence agency: Ukraine losing HUNDREDS of soldiers daily… the situation is not sustainable.)

“Our military is obviously going to weigh all of the options,” said Rodnyansky. “So far they’ve held the city, but if need be, they will strategically pull back because we’re not going to sacrifice all of our people just for nothing.”

This sentiment is shared by many other top Ukrainian officials. Serhiy Rakhmanin, a member of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), said: “I believe that, sooner or later, we will probably have to leave Bakhmut. There is no sense in holding it at any cost.”

Even Zelensky has admitted that his country could lose the fight in Bakhmut, stating that he would not hold onto Bakhmut at any cost, and that the city was the “most difficult” posting for the country’s soldiers.

“The intensity of fighting is only increasing.”

The Battle for Bakhmut has entered its seventh month as of March 1. Kyiv considers the city extremely valuable as a gateway to a large swathe of the disputed Donbas region.
...




Prigozhin Addressed Zelensky, Calling To Allow Withdrawal From Bakhmut



https://southfront.org/prigozhin-addressed-zelensky-calling-to-allow-withdrawal-from-bakhmut/
After numerous units of the Ukrainian army were destroyed in the heavy battles, the Ukrainian garrison in Bakhmut was reinforced by untrained mobilized servicemen, including the elderly and children. In his video, Prigozhin showed Ukrainian POWs calling on their president to let them leave the city and return home to their families. The video also confirms that an old Ukrainian man and two teenagers captured by Wagner fighters were treated well in the captivity.

"I appeal to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky. <…> If earlier the professional Ukrainian army used to fight with us, today we see more and more old people and children. They fight, but their life in Bakhmut is short, a day or two. Give them the opportunity to leave the city, the city is actually surrounded," said the founder of Wagner.

Sounds to me like an extreme case of xenophobia and nationalism, so yes, that lady is pretty much a Nazi - including the taste for "final solutions" such as killing all the population of Ukraine including the babies. But, you have to take that as old woman's talk. Probably not really educated, probably not having access to any alternative source of information that her own government and probably there when Brezhnev was around.

Oh, yes, Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union between 1964 and 1982, ... I forgot to mention: Ukrainian (born in Kamianske, Ukraine), fought in the Red Army, against guess who? The III Reich, the real Nazis. And that was probably something this lady has forgotten. Now the RF government wants to kill their sons, grandsons and his descendants.

When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, he joined the Red Army as a commissar and rose rapidly through the ranks to become a major general during World War II.

~ I'm kinda embarrassed about my country. But if they keep on giving the war to Russia, I might be becoming a bit afraid. I'm already trying to figure out where to move to real fast for when the US finally collapses America, and Russia takes over... along with China.
~

Oh, that's easy. Move to Russia if you love it so much. And there you will see what is it like to live without freedom of speech, the very freedom you actually enjoy living in the US.

But you won't move there, will you? You are afraid, as you said it yourself. But don't worry. Your country, the  country that you hate so much, and the very country that has given you the freedom to say and write about your hate, this country united with others will overcome evil, and you will have the opportunity to peacefully play computer games where China teams up with Russia during the WW3.

As far as I can tell that IS a valid criticism of Russia, and a lot of other countries to an even larger extent (including the one I choose.)  In order to be fair about things I have to factor in a lot about current affairs and legacy.  Openness and freedom of whatever have a lot to do with the confidence that the leaderships have, and that relates to how good a job they are doing in running their countries as well as the threat profile of their adversaries.

For my own purposes I am a lot more interested in 'trajectories' of countries than I am in today's on-the-ground reality.

The 'woke' West under increasingly tight globalist rule is doing a phenomenally poor job running their counties and as such their people are becoming disenchanted and the level of distrust and fear among the installed governmental heads is on the rise.  The fallout is seen in a drastic acceleration of censorship, surveillance, and control methods.

I could see a possibility that with more and more obvious failings of so-called 'Western Liberalism', and Russia's outstanding success economically, militarily, and morally as a result of the Ukraine event, their leadership will have the confidence to further open allow liberties to their people.  Time will tell.  My read is that a decent percentage of Russian people actually would desire and value such liberties.  I have no where near the same confidence in such desires on the part of the Chinese people, for instance.

For my part I choose and intermediate country which allows flexibility (for the wealthy at least) by virtue of inefficiency, corruption, poverty, etc.  I always expected that it could be an intermediate hang-out place to see how things evolve, but would be fine either way.  While I'm here I do my utmost to support the common people as much as possible.

Unfortunately it seems that the country I choose has thrown-in with the U.S. which is bound to fail in far-flung areas like S.E. Asia at least, and probably at home as well.  The previous leadership was probably not totally full of shit in his resistance, but he got pretty beat down by about the time I arrived and resistance had faded before the peeps really saw much of the big picture.

Alas, the global corporate technocrats probably will have the economic resources needed to buy off governments when the USD is no longer useful for that purpose and that's probably the way most 'developing' countries will go.  If at that point one of the more powerful global powers (e.g., Russia) is both livable and standing up to the technocrats, then I'll probably make a switch to there.

- Western Ukraine is filled with Nazis who hate people that aren't Ukrainian, don't speak the Ukrainian language.
Calling someone Nazi just because they hate people who don't speak official language of country is a bit too stroong word. In my country there is also many people who live there 70-80 years and they speak just Russian. I don't like them too, so, Im probably also Nazi.
Amusing coming out. Grin

Of course you are a Nazi. The cultivation of hatred for everything Russian in Ukraine has become the cornerstone of the formation of national identity in Ukraine in recent history. You are not just Ukrainian, you are anti-Russian.

there are a lots of Nazi in the modern world - who are killing people for the sake of fun and amusement.
Russia has a history of killing people and so is USA and German and France and UK - these are superpower who would love testing their missiles and would go to any extend for their pleasure.

The leader of an army made up of convicted rapists, murderers and trash from the bottom of human society has spoken - it seems that the fate of Russia is in his hands Roll Eyes They attack a small town for 7 months and can't conquer it - they really are a military superpower (but only in Putler's dreams).





On the other hand, look at what courage really is and why Ukraine will not only not lose the war, but will soon launch a counter-offensive and smash these Russian orcs so that they will remember it forever.

I also heard that as part of the exchange, the newly to be formed KNR (Kalingradskaya Narodnaya Respublica) will be given to Poland, and
LNR (Leningradskaya Narodnaya Respublica) including St. Petersburg will
be given to Finland with a 'promise' that Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya will not join NATO in the next 15 years. LOL.

The status of the Komi People's Republic and Dagestan People's Republic remains unclear.

LOL, and what is source of this gossip? Pretty much same stuff like Ukraine intentions to invade Transistria or Putin's offer to withdraw troops from Kherson and Zaporizhia oblasts in exchange that Ukraine would refuse all their intentions to retake Crimea. In general - nonsense.
BTW, when Poland is going to start their invasion in Western Ukraine?
And I'm not sure why you added this already old video of Zatoka bridge attack. Anyway, they failed to make any damage for it.

Talking to someone (babushka) who originates from there and it is "talk of the town".

Edit:
Why does Ukraine need depleted uranium?
