Current Affairs Ukraine

I see the nobhead battalion is still going full force with their whataboutery and straw men arguments.

Ukraine is taking the piss out of you all along with Putin.

Don't discard powerful propaganda they are exposed in the moment, and when whole world look down on you, it make you even more to adapt siege mentality and willing to resist

Never underestimate Russians, both Napoleon and Hitler did, and they payed heavy price

Never underestimate your opponent in war.

Good to know if it come to it on these shores that you would welcome the invading force with open arms. Worm.

It’s not about any one individual it’s about what the bulk do

Interesting thread on that topic

Tbh, one of the interesting things to me is how he seemed to skip that normal step of trying to legitimise the war in the eyes of the public and went straight to invasion. He's gone mental

Anyone else worried that Putin has nothing to lose now and there is nobody in his inner circle who would put a stop to him?

 

[Efcjake]

Russia is going to pay the price for this for a long time.

I am holding out hope that if they can hold off Kyiv being taken for another week we will see a big turn on Putin domestically in Russia.

Once the entire country goes bankrupt every Russian will want his head. Military leadership in Russia has got to be questioning it all right now. Whether they do something about it will be very interesting.

I hope this finishes with Putin in the Hague and a more peaceful Russian administration taking his place.

He said he could have you for breakfast.

Its about Donbass, main legitimation is about Ukrainians bombarding Russian population in Donbass since 2014 and pro-Nazi terror militias.
Thats main argument from Russians.
A lot of hate between Russians and Ukrainians reminds me of my country (Croatia) and Serbia. Also kindred people speaking practically same language hating each other because of some ancient crap

I suspect that the sort of people who thrive in Putin's regime and would actually be able to do something are not made of the same stuff as, say, the Ukrainians. They will be meek appeaser types, more slug than men

Must be a risk of it happening how much i have no idea, know nothing much about who he surrounds himself with. . Can be no guarantees it would be better if he were to be disposed of his duties.

Again I just think there’s a misunderstanding of how much support there is in Russia for his actions.

Clearly not everyone supports it but to suggest it’s some extreme minority view there simply isn’t the case.

in reality, most people will be fleeing for safe havens and stability abroad - as they have been already

this isnt the jungles of Vietnam, or Afghanistan

No, but Ukraine have the home advantage

No, but the Ukrain

No, but Ukraine have the home advantage

That’s true - but the reality is the Russians with immediate borders, aren’t necessarily the away team either
