Umm I dislike the globalist as much as anyone on these boards, but you clearly haven't been paying attention over the past week. Ukraine has totally swept Russia out of the northern part of Ukraine. A huge chunk of his forces are trapped and barely holding on with pure grit and desperation in the south. I'm honestly beginning to wonder if Russia can win even with a full mobilization of their entire military. The Germans barking at Putin to just withdraw is purely about them telling him to accept his obvious eventual defeat.
The only way Russia wins this war with the way things stand right now is if they slog out a years long fight and lose ten times more lives and equipment than they've already lost. You and I both know the Russian people aren't going to tolerate that. Which means at some point he will be forced to withdraw by internal pressure. All this German globalist dip-shit is doing is pointing out the obvious. Fights over.
Putin has lost the momentum of surprise. His military's moral is at an all time low. His equipment is all worn out or blown up. Every single thing that truly matters in a war is now going against him. That's not my opinion. Its not propaganda. Its just the hard facts on the ground. You can see it in hundreds of videos and articles online from sources that have no reason to lie or twist anything. In many cases from Russian sources.
Russia continuing to fight is not going to accomplish Putin's political goals. Its not going to allow him to take and keep more territory. Its also not going to allow him to keep what he's already taken. It will be fighting purely for the sake of fighting. It will be about Putin's ego and pride.
Putin should just take the L, and walk away. If he does he can get the sanctions lifted and maybe his economy will thrive, which is what's best for Russia. It truly doesn't matter at this point why he attacked... part of Q plan, bio weapons labs, Nazi gov, getting rid of globalists, NATO influence, blah blah blah. Doesn't matter why it started... he lost the fight.
More importantly... If he continues to fight and starts losing even more battles it will get to a point where Ukraine won't even accept his withdrawal. If they start steam rolling everything they might take it all back and then some. Putin will be way worse off then because any ability/leverage he had to negotiate things like sanctions etc will evaporate. He might cost Russia everything. No, I'm not joking. We both know the globalists/bankers would love to starve Russia out and take it over.
one question...how could you/we honestly trust we know the truth of how things stand and who's winning? not suggestion Ukraine couldn't be winning but also could be complete propaganda or Putin playing possum or other scenarios
I gave you an updoot for asking a real question. If you look around the net you will find dozens of videos of Ukrainian soldiers raising flags on the roofs of buildings and in town squares that are clearly towns Russia had full control over just a week ago. The Russians aren't even denying they lost territory.
If you then study the maps, understand how supply chains work, and listen to what people say about where the key roads and railroads are etc you realize that Ukrainians current gains most likely will lead to more gains in other places. Think of it like in chess the Ukrainians just took Russian's queen and then checked their king forcing him to go where they wanted him to go. The fight isn't over, I admit that, but its looking really grim.
I admit I'm reading between the lines a little, but just listen cause its a hard truth to swallow. Russia is out of resources. I'll give an example. I saw a video of a huge metal barn that Russia was using as a supply/repair area. There were 5-6 Ural supply trucks and 2-3 Grad launchers which are the same type of truck frame. Ukrainian soldiers were filming them. They all had the Z on the side. They were just sitting there. The barn probibly would have fit 20-40 trucks that size. They weren't scuttled, or sabotaged/booby trapped. Why? Because they left in a huge hurry, but it takes two seconds to set an explosive charge right? Why leave them in one piece? Its very unprofessional.
Guess what they all had in common? They all had their hoods opened, and the Ukrainians didn't do that. They know better than to touch shit. It might be booby trapped. In other words they were all broken down and they didn't have the parts to fix them. Why scuttle broken worn out useless junk. Time to leave. So they ran. They could only hope the Ukrainians are dumb enough to try and use them. The only other answer is that Russian soldiers are INCREDIBLY POORLY TRAINED and not even professional soldiers. I'm a fucking weekend warrior and even I know you don't leave shit behind the enemy can use against you later. Either way it looks bad for Russia.
One more key example. The video is made by local civilians. They drove around in Izium after Russia ran away. On the side of the road was not 1 but 3 self propelled guns.
Just like those trucks in the barn they were just sitting there. No obvious attempt to scuttle them. Maybe they were booby trapped, but I doubt it. Why? Its easy to guess. They are slow. That unit probibly had supply trucks as the rest of their kit to carry ammo. They have no need for armor or APCs. Maybe a few BTR for security. Those SPG are slow as all holy shit in comparison. We are talking 20-30 mph vs 50-60.
So imagine you are the commander. You've got 10,000 Ukrainian troops headed your way and your entire column is being slowed down by just those three artillery pieces. So you ditch them. Why not scuttle them though. Again back to unprofessional. Except you know the condition of those SPG. You know that they have a barrel life of say 10,000 rounds(I don't know the actual number) and they've had 20k put through them. They are bored out like a porn star that's been working for a decade or more. Not one single round that goes out of those guns will hit where you want it to. The barrel is a full millimeter wider than its supposed to be. Rounds come out wobbling like a shitty high school quarterback threw it.
You know that for those SPG to be useful they need a full factory reset, and you've told command that 5 times, in writing. That means replacing the barrel and pulling the engine out for a full rebuild. The only reason they even move is because you paid money out of your own pocket or won a bet to steal a mechanic that performs miracles. So you tell your men to grab everything not nailed down and get on the damn trucks. Fuck those slow ass POS SPG. They aren't worth dying over.
Those are just the videos we've seen. You magnify that trend over the whole battlefield and it paints a grim fucking picture of Russia's capabilities. And I have ZERO doubt that some of their equipment is just fine. What I'm saying is their ONE real advantage is more equipment, more artillery pieces, more ammo, BUT what if even 70% of that equipment is now after months of fighting so worn out its now useless junk? What if more and more of the good useful equipment is being blown up???
One other quick example. A video taken by Russians of two Mi-26 landing and clearly loading Pion/Malka into them to be evacuated.
They risked two of their biggest rarest helicopters to move at over weight capacity two guns. Why? Because they were probibly fully modernized/refurbished Malka guns that were in good shape and had only fired a few dozen rounds vs those three POS SPG they just left on the side of the road without even bothering to blow them up.
Bottom line, yeah, I'm reading tea leaves on some things, but it all makes sense. It explains why Russia ran away. They moved all their good equipment down south to rebuff the coming assault on Kherson. Then the bridges got blown up by HIMARS and all that gear was trapped with little/no ammo/fuel. Meanwhile the troops up north knew most of their equipment was the older junk that barely worked. Then all hell broke lose and a full on attack came their way. They knew they were fucked so they ran away leaving a bunch of junk behind because they didn't care if Ukraine took it.
So those same troops with mostly junk equipment are going to what... get together with a few extra units also armed with junk and go rebuff the Ukrainian attacks? The same attacks they couldn't stop to begin with? Attacks being carried out with equal or greater numbers of modern western HUMVEE/MRAP that are faster and more useful than slow ass old Soviet era junk? And even though Ukraine has less of it Ukrainian artillery is deadly accurate vs the Russians need 5 times as many guns and 10 times the ammo to accomplish the same goal.
Its only going to get worse for Russia. Their equipment isn't going to suddenly get younger and less worn out. Their moral will never improve. Pretty soon they will decide that they would rather die shooting at Putin rather than Ukrainians.
I saw one report... yeah it could be propaganda but it didn't seem like it... several soldiers got drunk and told their officers to fuck off they aren't dying for Putin. The military police type people showed up to arrest them cause treason or whatever. So they picked up their rifles and shot it out with them killing quite a few before all but one died. And of course he's going to be tried and hung etc. That's not a good sign. What happens when a whole fucking mechanized battalion shoots their commander and does this... but they aren't drunk? Just say'n.
Add to all this the thing that was the most clear to me. The CIA can intercept 80+% of Russia's coms and knows ALL OF THIS. They know Russia is using junk or low on ammo but has too much/little food or whatever the fuck is going on. And they are telling Ukraine all of this. Now contrast that with the fact that Ukraine masses up a huge assault force in the north while they stage a fake assault in the south and Russia had ZERO clue about any of this until they struck.
So Russia is losing the propaganda war. They are losing the information war. Russia is also losing the spying/infiltration war. Because of M-777 and HIMARS they are now slowly losing the artillery war. PLUS at least in the north they are losing the ground war, and are stagnant on the ground everywhere else. That is a metric shit-ton of losing, but the dip-shits on this board think Russia is winning? SMH...
Facts are facts. When they stopped Russia in the first 3-4 weeks, when Russia lost the element of surprise, this fight was 90% decided already. The events of the past week have just sealed that as the outcome. Ukraine had an advantage. All they had to do is just not lose and Russia would wear itself out fighting them. Its like in a cheesy movie where a boxer wins because the other guy tired himself out beating on him, but can he take the beating. Well Ukraine took the beating and now Russia is too tired to keep fighting. Russia could make a comeback. Its not impossible. Its just insanely unlikely. They have nowhere near the motivation Ukraine does. This fight is 100% about Putin's ego at this point. How/why it started doesn't matter any more.
I'll hand it to you that you're following this pretty deeply. I don't follow reports this deeply for a couple of reasons, namely don't trust all the reports to spend that much time reading them and I don't care enough about this matter. either Putin is going to help save the world or he isn't, but either way I'm keeping faith that the great awakening is happening and we're going to be alright in due time.
plus, you lost me at "The CIA can intercept 80+% of Russia's coms and knows ALL OF THIS. the CIA really...biggest propaganda machine in the world arguably. and it all being about Putin's ego sounds just like the DS and libs when referring to Trump.
sorry, but still not convinced Putin isn't or won't kick ass ultimately
no where near the motivation Ukraine has ?? Ukraine is a puppet for the DS, so if it's that motivation you speak of...to keep secret all their dastardly deeds than I agree, but if you are suggesting Ukraine as a nation of people I have to disagree
There is a guy on YouTube that plays phone calls from Russia soldiers calling home. He gives a translation. It is either an insanely elaborate hoax or half the fucking Russian military are using regular phones and don't care if anyone listens. Now to be clear these aren't calls like "hey, we need more fuel and rockets". No, these are calls like "Mom, half my unit was at the supply base yesterday and it blew up. They're all dead. I almost died. I want to come home. Cries..."
You and I both know if some YT nitwit has that sort of info then the CIA/NSA has 50 times what he does. I don't care if its 80% or just 20% the CIA is fucking listening to the Russians but the Russians are NOT listening to the Ukrainians in any meaningful way. Not any more. Maybe they had some access early on but they've been cut off. Its fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain.
World War Two was NOT won with men and tanks. It was won with disinformation, spying, and code breaking. Study the battle of Midway. We beat the Japanese because our code breakers told us they were fucking coming. Study D-day. The US/UK had an entire fake army created to attack France way up to the north of the actual attack. Germany(really Hitler) waited for a full 12 hours before he sent in his reinforcements because he was convinced the fake attack was the real one. That gave the allies time to establish their beachhead. That disinformation decided the battle before a single shot was fired.
As far as motivation... The deep state globalists run the fucking USA right now, or are you claiming Biden is legit? But if fucking Mexico invaded us tomorrow would you not be highly motivated to defend the lower 48? You'd get your gun and go help even if it was just driving a fucking truck with supplies. We're being fucking invaded.
Use your go damn head. You clearly aren't stupid. They are defending their homes, wives, sisters, brothers, etc. Ukraine's soldiers don't give two rats asses about your conspiracy theories on globalist manipulation of their government. All they know is a fucking tank is headed their way and they have to blow it up or they will be slaves to Russia at best or taken away by the secret police to be killed or gulag-ed.
On the other hand Russian soldiers know Putin's their Nazi's stuff is all bullshit. They know the Azov guys are real, but they also know they make up like 1% of the Ukrainian military. That would be like Canada deciding to invade the USA because of the KKK in the 60s and 70s. Hell the KKK probibly made up 2-3% of our population at the time. To save what 5-10k blacks from being lynched over decades you will invade and kill tens of thousands in a few months??? So Putin's solution to internal Ukrainian problems is to invade and turn the country into a smoking hole in the ground. That's super helpful. I bet more people will die from lack of food and sanitary water than would have died in Nazi purges. All that BS is just an excuse. You want proof its BS?
This could be propaganda but I seriously doubt it. When the Russian's fled the north lots of local people that helped them feared retribution by Ukraine. These are the very same Russian speaking people that Putin was supposedly saving from the evil Nazi in Kyiv. They were the ENTIRE reason for the invasion. Right? When the Russians retreated the civilians panicked packed their cars and ran with them. When they reached the Russian border the Russians turned them away. There were reports of long lines of civilians cars waiting to get across the border that then turned around and left.
Fog of war and all that its hard to be sure but it looks like to me that Putin would rather have those people face certain punishment for their betrayal so he can point at them and say see they evil Nazi in Kyiv are Nazi than to ACTUALLY SAVE THEM. The propaganda goal is more important than the people. He needs those people there as an excuse to invade again or continue invading etc. If they come to Russia he no longer has a reason TO STEAL UKRAINIAN TERRITORY. So they can suffer. Back into the meat grinder pleebs.
This war is just two sets of thugs fighting over valuable land. The eastern side of Ukraine is some of the most fertile growing soil ON THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET. Putin might was well be invading Nebraska or Kansas. What is Ukraine trying to export from that area... WHEAT!
Wake up. Putin's just a thug. He's no different than the fucking bankers, globalists, or any of the rest of them. And he's lost this war.
working awfully hard to sell your opinion. that's not how GAW works. instead we provide sauce, maybe offer theories and then let others use discernment
And there lies the problem. Notice what happens if I speak out against Russia in any way? I get down-voted and shouted down. Truth be told I'm surprised some mod hasn't banned me. I just got fed up with holding my tongue. This boards has seriously lost its way. Tons of people drunk the Russia cool-aide and will not even entertain the idea that Russia is not a white-hat operation or that they could possibly be losing the war in any way.
(The two are not mutually exclusive BTW. Russia could be a white-hat and still be losing. There is no rule that says the good guys always win, and bad guys always lose. Personally I lean maybe 60% Russia is bad 40% its good. I'm on the fence mostly. I know for sure the globalists are bad and I know for sure Zelinsky is a globalist puppet. But see I just showed doubt is Russia's purity thus I must be shunned as a non-believer. Purged as a heretic. Facts, theories, and sauce my ass.)
Every fact put forward is instantly dismissed as globalist disinformation. It doesn't even matter if RUSSIA ITSELF CONFIRMS IT LATER. Just today they admitted to their loses... but yeah nothing to see here. They aren't losing at all. They can just retake all that and it will cost them nothing. (I'm rolling my eyes right now)
I stated clearly when I was giving an opinion and I backed it up with my reasons and facts. I wasn't treated with counter facts. I was told my facts were propaganda because they came from Reddit. So no truth can ever be posted on Reddit... got it. I was then given counter facts strait from the fucking Russian ministry of truth that they then recanted days later. Seriously...?
I based my opinions on things that IMMUTABLE. A video of a guy raising a flag that everyone agrees is in a town Russia used to hold. Multiple videos that clearly show abandoned Russian equipment not scuttled and not booby trapped. Some of the videos showed city streets everyone agrees are formerly Russian controlled towns as well, see flag videos(same towns). You can't just magically fake all those videos. Too many smart people on the net would dissect them and discover they were fakes. Ukraine learned that lesson the hard way with the ghost of Kyiv bullshit footage from a video game. They're clearly REAL.
I watched a video today that was unconfirmed propaganda but it explained all of the things I couldn't quite understand. The commenter said their were reports in Izium etc that Russian troops were so panicked to run away and when they drove in vehicle columns out of town they were hit with artillery and slaughtered. So they abandoned their vehicles and ran away on foot. The supposed reason the Ukrainian attack has slowed down is because they are now following those soldiers who are on foot and they don't want to attack them because they might turn around and actually fight. They would rather those panicked soldiers reach the next town and panic the next set of soldiers so they run away too leaving even more equipment.
Ridiculous right? Sounds like a made up story, but what if its true? What if the combinations or poor moral, lack of leadership, and lack of training has caused exactly that to happen. The commander gets in his SUV and flees because he's not stupid and doesn't want to die. Then the troops panic and take off. It happened in Iraq why not to Russian troops?
If true it REALLY doesn't look good for Russia.
Anyway it doesn't change my main point. I'm trying to call strikes and balls with a little flair. Everyone on this board is rooting for Russia to win and doesn't like being told their team isn't winning. That is a perfect recipe for a metric crap-ton of confirmation bias. Its kind of sad really.
So to you and all the people downvoting me... check yourself.
Thanks for the lengthy write-up. I'll admit I've assumed Ukraine was bluffing and the war was mainly a disguised money laundering operation for the corrupt elites who hide out there and run those biolabs. Scott Adams has also been claiming Russia is losing the war and I've brushed him off for the most part since he took the vaccine and clearly isn't correct all the time. I still think there's too much fog of war to come to a conclusion just yet. If Putin loses it seems like that's very bad news for the great awakening. You've clearly done some research, so I appreciate the effort to inform if that is truly your intent, it seems we may need to consider the possibility that things may not be going Putin's way here.
When this all started the globalists spent a lot of time taunting Putin. Why? I remember a long winded rant on Tucker about how it was obvious that Putin might react that way to their provocations over Ukraine joining NATO. A guest came on and made tons of good points about how foolish Biden was being. Why would the globalists do that?
Easy... they get to launder money. They wanted Putin to attack Ukraine. It gives them an excuse to sanction him and fuck up the economy. They profit coming and going.
You think they baited him into attacking but left vast amounts of evidence for him to find and expose them? So what was the point??? They knew Russia's military was degraded. They didn't care is Ukraine won or lost. They wanted to test their new weapons. More importantly they wanted to blast Putin's war machine into a pile of scrap metal so he wasn't a real threat. Just in case.
Putin's ego got the better of him. If he'd won in that first few weeks he'd be fine. The moment his attack stalled and he had to reset he should have fucking bailed.
I truly believe the real problem is Putin's generals have been lying to him about how capable his military really is.
One other thing. Russia has never for even one day had air superiority. That's 3rd world military BS not 1st world superpower. If Russia was the USA Ukraine would have lost in the first two weeks. Why? Because once we took control of the air nothing would be safe anywhere. Russia's failure to take the high ground is just sad. And we all KNOW that's not propaganda. Its too obvious its true, or those HIMARS would be smoking wrecks already.
Reddit might be cancer but a lot of videos are posted there with good info about the war if you know what you are looking for. I suggest you turn your fucking brain on and go look at all the videos of Ukrainians raising flags in towns previously held by the Russians. What you think the dozens of videos are all fake and Putin just forgot to rebut them?
It saddens me to see how far this board has fallen when it comes to this war. I gave up on worrying about who is on what side or rooting for either side. I've been focusing on studying the facts on the ground. They are looking pretty grim for Russia right now. Wake the fuck up. Reality is still their no matter how deep you stick your head in the sand.
All the shit posted on reddit is entirely one-sided. And no, I don't trust any post there because they'll post footage from other wars in other decades, claim it's x and they just gobble it up. Fuck back off to reddit.
I don't even have an account on Reddit. Other resources I use link to videos on Reddit. I hate Reddit. Its cancer. I verify those videos on a case by case basis. I'm quite able to tell bullshit from good info. When I first got on the net it was fucking called Peachnet and I dialed in on a 386DX16 with a 28.8 modem via UUCP to Dekalb Tech. The term internet didn't even exist. I'm not some fucking newb 20 year old punk who can't tell fake BS from real useful info. I'm a former EFnet IRC channel warrior. Are you even old enough to know what that means?
As I understand the situation. Putin has been pussyfootin' because he had an election coming up. With that over with, and an 80% approval rating, he's free to put more effort into the "special operation". In addition, Ukraine is running out of trained soldiers and ammunition. Russia is not.
Broski...think about this why hasn't he (Pooty poo)just flew bombers in wiped the floor with the Ukrainian forces. He doesn't want the land, why leave communications up, he does not want the people to suffer. In war casualties will remain on both sides no matter what type of FUD your bringing. Point is they keep uncovering all these US bio labs so there has to be a reason...hmmm...maybe to show wtf is actually going on? Ukraine will make Epsteins Island look like it never happened. Anyways have fun.
You do understand that Russia has never for even one day had air superiority over most of Ukraine? Russian aircraft that fly over any part of western Ukraine don't come back. Why do you think Putin uses so many cruise missiles? Planes are WAY cheaper. Of course Ukrainian planes don't fair much better over eastern Ukraine or for sure not Russia.
I would love to see Russia reveal solid info on bio labs or hell just some solid accounting paperwork from the corruption we all know is there, but 90% of anything useful was in Kyiv. They failed utterly to even fucking ENTER Kyiv and there is no way in hell they are ever going to take it now. That ship sailed long ago.
So far all I've seen is propaganda puff BS about bio labs. No real hard evidence. If they had hard evidence where the fuck is it? They probibly got they idea to make/release propaganda about bio labs from this freaking message board. Its a self fulfilling prophecy. I see dead people... Puts on his tin foil hat.
Trump declassing, that has teeth. He had access to EVERYTHING. I'm waiting for that. I'm fucking holding my breath for that. (turns purple) I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for fucking Russia to release info they should have already released to bolster their case for the war. That's pure smoke and mirrors until I see some irrefutable sauce.
People on this board need to wake the fuck up. Reality doesn't have an opinion they can refute with a counter opinion. It just is what it is. The bio-lab thing is wishful thinking. I fucking hope like hell the plan wasn't to have Russia go get evidence because if it was they have fucking failed spectacularly and we are fucked.
Russian forces have taken out a large ammunition depot in southern Ukraine. The attack eliminated a depot storing 45,000 tons of ammunition; more than 300 Ukrainian service members were killed and up to 1,000 wounded
The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost more than 800 people during the strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces at the points of deployment over the past day. 50,628 Ukrainian soldiers were already killed by Russian military forces.
There is nothing to suggest that Russia will not be able to continue saturating Ukrainian positions, especially in the Donbas, with upwards of 70,000 artillery shells and rockets per day. Russia has a 20-1 advantage over Ukraine in artillery, 40-1 advantage in artillery and rocket ammunition, and a daily air sortie rate of approximately 300 to five.
If true, that doesn't sound like Russia is losing anytime soon.
I don't watch TV news other than Tucker. I watch videos on the net of actual combat or real shit, the type of videos that are damn near impossible to fake. Videos of Ukrainian flags being raised in dozens of northern cities that were controlled by Russia just a week or two ago are all over the place. They can't all be fake. Hell, Russia isn't even refuting that they have lost tons of territory. If the retreat is real then all the videos of equipment and ammo being left behind are real too. All the POWs are real etc etc.
If you study the map you also realize that Russia has lost several strategic advantages that it took them months to gain. They lost tens of thousands of men, tons of equipment etc to get where they were. A full 1/4 or more of that just went poof in a week and it cost Ukraine NOTHING. Even if Russia slogged out a fight and took every inch back they would still be losing because that would just be another 30k dead, another 2k tanks/APCs blown up... on and on. Even the USA doesn't have a bench that deep. Russia can't sustain this war for much longer. There isn't any more firewood to throw on this bonfire of stupidity.
This is hilarious, it's two non-intersecting worlds colliding. The ClownWorld West has lost the plot they think the narrative is everything, when it is not.
The objective truth is that this war has returned Russia into proper SuperPower status. Daily Russia fires off as many artilliary shells as were fired in the entire Gulf War and the West has emptied their arsenals as gifts to the Ukrainians. The power asymmetry is terrifying. The West imposes sanctions... that hurt it's own people, meanwhile the Russian economy is booming.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians and their Western mercenaries are being continuously fed into a meat grinder. Having read a lot of WW2 books, the similarities between Zelensky and Hitler are staggering:
a petit homme more concerned with propaganda than the real world
Generals not free to fight wars in any kind of strategic way
huge support from the industrialists of the West
obvious Nazi-ism with Swastikas and totalitarian ruling approach
And in Europe we have ONCE AGAIN, the fucking Krauts leading the charge into an unwinnable war, supported by totalitarianism. Small fucking wonder that the political leaders don't want 20th Century history taught to kids.
Lol i don't think Putin cares if anyone recognizes the objective fact that he controls specific territory. These people don't even recognize a man as a man and a woman as a woman
The interesting thing to me was that Scholz brought up the issue of a ceasefire. This obviously indicates he is looking for a way out. If Germany pulls the plug so will the remainder of the EU and without them the US and UK can't hold out alone. Putin could wind up getting what he wants without having to conquer all of Ukraine and at the same time demonstrate to them how they have been used by the West.
What Putin really wants is for the West to back down first.
He threw a challenge to the collective West. If the West backs down, he is now much more closer to being the alpha guy in the world. African countries, the Middle East, Asia will all be looking at this and thinking that the current hegemon is really kind of getting old and decrepit and we don't have to listen to him anymore.
This is why the US is perfectly willing to destroy the EU to try and stop Putin. In fact, way more willing than Putin himself, who wants to save Europe if possible because they have always been the best markets for Russian goods. Russia will only lose long-term from the destruction of the EU while the US has trillions to gain.
What about that warming Russia put out at the beginning. Putin said something like ‘anybody who intervenes will be met with swift action unlike anything ever see ‘ that’s emp talk IMO
Der fette Spacko soll man schön seine Fresse halten, der Kessel is' hier domestisch gut am dampfen. Die feinen Schweinsherrschaften im Parlament und im Bundestag sollen mal schön froh sein, dass sie Polizei, Militär und Private Sichies auf ihrer seite haben und wir Kleinbürger entmächtigt sind. Wird die Masse aber nicht mehr lange davon abhalten, ihren Unmut kund zu tun, dat kannste' wissen.
private security (Private Sicherheit), Sichie is just a slang word i use for security/Sicherheit as in "Ja sichie diggie" = "Ja sicherlich, Kumpel" = "of course, dude"
“The fat Spacko should keep his mouth shut, the kettle is steaming well here domestically. The fine pig rulers in Parliament and the Bundestag should be happy that they have the police, military and private Sichies on their side and that we petty bourgeois are disempowered. But it won't keep the masses from expressing their displeasure for much longer, you know that.”
Ehh, countless peoples and nations and tribes have tried to destroy germania magna in the past and we are still around. The germanics (We sure are a contentious lot!), the romans, [insert screeching in middle ages free-for-all], don't even get me started on the renaissance/napoleonic clownfiesta, WW1, WW2 etc pepe.
Finally they act like the "old commie" German Democratic Republic that joined Soviet Union aka "East Germany". If Germany doesn't go to war they can't blame Putin for the winter energy shortage.
And their global allies are fucked too!

Umm I dislike the globalist as much as anyone on these boards, but you clearly haven't been paying attention over the past week. Ukraine has totally swept Russia out of the northern part of Ukraine. A huge chunk of his forces are trapped and barely holding on with pure grit and desperation in the south. I'm honestly beginning to wonder if Russia can win even with a full mobilization of their entire military. The Germans barking at Putin to just withdraw is purely about them telling him to accept his obvious eventual defeat.
The only way Russia wins this war with the way things stand right now is if they slog out a years long fight and lose ten times more lives and equipment than they've already lost. You and I both know the Russian people aren't going to tolerate that. Which means at some point he will be forced to withdraw by internal pressure. All this German globalist dip-shit is doing is pointing out the obvious. Fights over.
Putin has lost the momentum of surprise. His military's moral is at an all time low. His equipment is all worn out or blown up. Every single thing that truly matters in a war is now going against him. That's not my opinion. Its not propaganda. Its just the hard facts on the ground. You can see it in hundreds of videos and articles online from sources that have no reason to lie or twist anything. In many cases from Russian sources.
Russia continuing to fight is not going to accomplish Putin's political goals. Its not going to allow him to take and keep more territory. Its also not going to allow him to keep what he's already taken. It will be fighting purely for the sake of fighting. It will be about Putin's ego and pride.
Putin should just take the L, and walk away. If he does he can get the sanctions lifted and maybe his economy will thrive, which is what's best for Russia. It truly doesn't matter at this point why he attacked... part of Q plan, bio weapons labs, Nazi gov, getting rid of globalists, NATO influence, blah blah blah. Doesn't matter why it started... he lost the fight.
More importantly... If he continues to fight and starts losing even more battles it will get to a point where Ukraine won't even accept his withdrawal. If they start steam rolling everything they might take it all back and then some. Putin will be way worse off then because any ability/leverage he had to negotiate things like sanctions etc will evaporate. He might cost Russia everything. No, I'm not joking. We both know the globalists/bankers would love to starve Russia out and take it over.
Obvious shill is obvious.
one question...how could you/we honestly trust we know the truth of how things stand and who's winning? not suggestion Ukraine couldn't be winning but also could be complete propaganda or Putin playing possum or other scenarios
Truth is the first casualty of war.
I gave you an updoot for asking a real question. If you look around the net you will find dozens of videos of Ukrainian soldiers raising flags on the roofs of buildings and in town squares that are clearly towns Russia had full control over just a week ago. The Russians aren't even denying they lost territory.
If you then study the maps, understand how supply chains work, and listen to what people say about where the key roads and railroads are etc you realize that Ukrainians current gains most likely will lead to more gains in other places. Think of it like in chess the Ukrainians just took Russian's queen and then checked their king forcing him to go where they wanted him to go. The fight isn't over, I admit that, but its looking really grim.
I admit I'm reading between the lines a little, but just listen cause its a hard truth to swallow. Russia is out of resources. I'll give an example. I saw a video of a huge metal barn that Russia was using as a supply/repair area. There were 5-6 Ural supply trucks and 2-3 Grad launchers which are the same type of truck frame. Ukrainian soldiers were filming them. They all had the Z on the side. They were just sitting there. The barn probibly would have fit 20-40 trucks that size. They weren't scuttled, or sabotaged/booby trapped. Why? Because they left in a huge hurry, but it takes two seconds to set an explosive charge right? Why leave them in one piece? Its very unprofessional.
Guess what they all had in common? They all had their hoods opened, and the Ukrainians didn't do that. They know better than to touch shit. It might be booby trapped. In other words they were all broken down and they didn't have the parts to fix them. Why scuttle broken worn out useless junk. Time to leave. So they ran. They could only hope the Ukrainians are dumb enough to try and use them. The only other answer is that Russian soldiers are INCREDIBLY POORLY TRAINED and not even professional soldiers. I'm a fucking weekend warrior and even I know you don't leave shit behind the enemy can use against you later. Either way it looks bad for Russia.
One more key example. The video is made by local civilians. They drove around in Izium after Russia ran away. On the side of the road was not 1 but 3 self propelled guns.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S19_Msta
Just like those trucks in the barn they were just sitting there. No obvious attempt to scuttle them. Maybe they were booby trapped, but I doubt it. Why? Its easy to guess. They are slow. That unit probibly had supply trucks as the rest of their kit to carry ammo. They have no need for armor or APCs. Maybe a few BTR for security. Those SPG are slow as all holy shit in comparison. We are talking 20-30 mph vs 50-60.
So imagine you are the commander. You've got 10,000 Ukrainian troops headed your way and your entire column is being slowed down by just those three artillery pieces. So you ditch them. Why not scuttle them though. Again back to unprofessional. Except you know the condition of those SPG. You know that they have a barrel life of say 10,000 rounds(I don't know the actual number) and they've had 20k put through them. They are bored out like a porn star that's been working for a decade or more. Not one single round that goes out of those guns will hit where you want it to. The barrel is a full millimeter wider than its supposed to be. Rounds come out wobbling like a shitty high school quarterback threw it.
You know that for those SPG to be useful they need a full factory reset, and you've told command that 5 times, in writing. That means replacing the barrel and pulling the engine out for a full rebuild. The only reason they even move is because you paid money out of your own pocket or won a bet to steal a mechanic that performs miracles. So you tell your men to grab everything not nailed down and get on the damn trucks. Fuck those slow ass POS SPG. They aren't worth dying over.
Those are just the videos we've seen. You magnify that trend over the whole battlefield and it paints a grim fucking picture of Russia's capabilities. And I have ZERO doubt that some of their equipment is just fine. What I'm saying is their ONE real advantage is more equipment, more artillery pieces, more ammo, BUT what if even 70% of that equipment is now after months of fighting so worn out its now useless junk? What if more and more of the good useful equipment is being blown up???
One other quick example. A video taken by Russians of two Mi-26 landing and clearly loading Pion/Malka into them to be evacuated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-26
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S7_Pion
They risked two of their biggest rarest helicopters to move at over weight capacity two guns. Why? Because they were probibly fully modernized/refurbished Malka guns that were in good shape and had only fired a few dozen rounds vs those three POS SPG they just left on the side of the road without even bothering to blow them up.
Bottom line, yeah, I'm reading tea leaves on some things, but it all makes sense. It explains why Russia ran away. They moved all their good equipment down south to rebuff the coming assault on Kherson. Then the bridges got blown up by HIMARS and all that gear was trapped with little/no ammo/fuel. Meanwhile the troops up north knew most of their equipment was the older junk that barely worked. Then all hell broke lose and a full on attack came their way. They knew they were fucked so they ran away leaving a bunch of junk behind because they didn't care if Ukraine took it.
So those same troops with mostly junk equipment are going to what... get together with a few extra units also armed with junk and go rebuff the Ukrainian attacks? The same attacks they couldn't stop to begin with? Attacks being carried out with equal or greater numbers of modern western HUMVEE/MRAP that are faster and more useful than slow ass old Soviet era junk? And even though Ukraine has less of it Ukrainian artillery is deadly accurate vs the Russians need 5 times as many guns and 10 times the ammo to accomplish the same goal.
Its only going to get worse for Russia. Their equipment isn't going to suddenly get younger and less worn out. Their moral will never improve. Pretty soon they will decide that they would rather die shooting at Putin rather than Ukrainians.
I saw one report... yeah it could be propaganda but it didn't seem like it... several soldiers got drunk and told their officers to fuck off they aren't dying for Putin. The military police type people showed up to arrest them cause treason or whatever. So they picked up their rifles and shot it out with them killing quite a few before all but one died. And of course he's going to be tried and hung etc. That's not a good sign. What happens when a whole fucking mechanized battalion shoots their commander and does this... but they aren't drunk? Just say'n.
Add to all this the thing that was the most clear to me. The CIA can intercept 80+% of Russia's coms and knows ALL OF THIS. They know Russia is using junk or low on ammo but has too much/little food or whatever the fuck is going on. And they are telling Ukraine all of this. Now contrast that with the fact that Ukraine masses up a huge assault force in the north while they stage a fake assault in the south and Russia had ZERO clue about any of this until they struck.
So Russia is losing the propaganda war. They are losing the information war. Russia is also losing the spying/infiltration war. Because of M-777 and HIMARS they are now slowly losing the artillery war. PLUS at least in the north they are losing the ground war, and are stagnant on the ground everywhere else. That is a metric shit-ton of losing, but the dip-shits on this board think Russia is winning? SMH...
Facts are facts. When they stopped Russia in the first 3-4 weeks, when Russia lost the element of surprise, this fight was 90% decided already. The events of the past week have just sealed that as the outcome. Ukraine had an advantage. All they had to do is just not lose and Russia would wear itself out fighting them. Its like in a cheesy movie where a boxer wins because the other guy tired himself out beating on him, but can he take the beating. Well Ukraine took the beating and now Russia is too tired to keep fighting. Russia could make a comeback. Its not impossible. Its just insanely unlikely. They have nowhere near the motivation Ukraine does. This fight is 100% about Putin's ego at this point. How/why it started doesn't matter any more.
I'll hand it to you that you're following this pretty deeply. I don't follow reports this deeply for a couple of reasons, namely don't trust all the reports to spend that much time reading them and I don't care enough about this matter. either Putin is going to help save the world or he isn't, but either way I'm keeping faith that the great awakening is happening and we're going to be alright in due time.
plus, you lost me at "The CIA can intercept 80+% of Russia's coms and knows ALL OF THIS. the CIA really...biggest propaganda machine in the world arguably. and it all being about Putin's ego sounds just like the DS and libs when referring to Trump.
sorry, but still not convinced Putin isn't or won't kick ass ultimately
no where near the motivation Ukraine has ?? Ukraine is a puppet for the DS, so if it's that motivation you speak of...to keep secret all their dastardly deeds than I agree, but if you are suggesting Ukraine as a nation of people I have to disagree
There is a guy on YouTube that plays phone calls from Russia soldiers calling home. He gives a translation. It is either an insanely elaborate hoax or half the fucking Russian military are using regular phones and don't care if anyone listens. Now to be clear these aren't calls like "hey, we need more fuel and rockets". No, these are calls like "Mom, half my unit was at the supply base yesterday and it blew up. They're all dead. I almost died. I want to come home. Cries..."
You and I both know if some YT nitwit has that sort of info then the CIA/NSA has 50 times what he does. I don't care if its 80% or just 20% the CIA is fucking listening to the Russians but the Russians are NOT listening to the Ukrainians in any meaningful way. Not any more. Maybe they had some access early on but they've been cut off. Its fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain.
World War Two was NOT won with men and tanks. It was won with disinformation, spying, and code breaking. Study the battle of Midway. We beat the Japanese because our code breakers told us they were fucking coming. Study D-day. The US/UK had an entire fake army created to attack France way up to the north of the actual attack. Germany(really Hitler) waited for a full 12 hours before he sent in his reinforcements because he was convinced the fake attack was the real one. That gave the allies time to establish their beachhead. That disinformation decided the battle before a single shot was fired.
As far as motivation... The deep state globalists run the fucking USA right now, or are you claiming Biden is legit? But if fucking Mexico invaded us tomorrow would you not be highly motivated to defend the lower 48? You'd get your gun and go help even if it was just driving a fucking truck with supplies. We're being fucking invaded.
Use your go damn head. You clearly aren't stupid. They are defending their homes, wives, sisters, brothers, etc. Ukraine's soldiers don't give two rats asses about your conspiracy theories on globalist manipulation of their government. All they know is a fucking tank is headed their way and they have to blow it up or they will be slaves to Russia at best or taken away by the secret police to be killed or gulag-ed.
On the other hand Russian soldiers know Putin's their Nazi's stuff is all bullshit. They know the Azov guys are real, but they also know they make up like 1% of the Ukrainian military. That would be like Canada deciding to invade the USA because of the KKK in the 60s and 70s. Hell the KKK probibly made up 2-3% of our population at the time. To save what 5-10k blacks from being lynched over decades you will invade and kill tens of thousands in a few months??? So Putin's solution to internal Ukrainian problems is to invade and turn the country into a smoking hole in the ground. That's super helpful. I bet more people will die from lack of food and sanitary water than would have died in Nazi purges. All that BS is just an excuse. You want proof its BS?
This could be propaganda but I seriously doubt it. When the Russian's fled the north lots of local people that helped them feared retribution by Ukraine. These are the very same Russian speaking people that Putin was supposedly saving from the evil Nazi in Kyiv. They were the ENTIRE reason for the invasion. Right? When the Russians retreated the civilians panicked packed their cars and ran with them. When they reached the Russian border the Russians turned them away. There were reports of long lines of civilians cars waiting to get across the border that then turned around and left.
Fog of war and all that its hard to be sure but it looks like to me that Putin would rather have those people face certain punishment for their betrayal so he can point at them and say see they evil Nazi in Kyiv are Nazi than to ACTUALLY SAVE THEM. The propaganda goal is more important than the people. He needs those people there as an excuse to invade again or continue invading etc. If they come to Russia he no longer has a reason TO STEAL UKRAINIAN TERRITORY. So they can suffer. Back into the meat grinder pleebs.
This war is just two sets of thugs fighting over valuable land. The eastern side of Ukraine is some of the most fertile growing soil ON THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET. Putin might was well be invading Nebraska or Kansas. What is Ukraine trying to export from that area... WHEAT!
Wake up. Putin's just a thug. He's no different than the fucking bankers, globalists, or any of the rest of them. And he's lost this war.
working awfully hard to sell your opinion. that's not how GAW works. instead we provide sauce, maybe offer theories and then let others use discernment
And there lies the problem. Notice what happens if I speak out against Russia in any way? I get down-voted and shouted down. Truth be told I'm surprised some mod hasn't banned me. I just got fed up with holding my tongue. This boards has seriously lost its way. Tons of people drunk the Russia cool-aide and will not even entertain the idea that Russia is not a white-hat operation or that they could possibly be losing the war in any way.
(The two are not mutually exclusive BTW. Russia could be a white-hat and still be losing. There is no rule that says the good guys always win, and bad guys always lose. Personally I lean maybe 60% Russia is bad 40% its good. I'm on the fence mostly. I know for sure the globalists are bad and I know for sure Zelinsky is a globalist puppet. But see I just showed doubt is Russia's purity thus I must be shunned as a non-believer. Purged as a heretic. Facts, theories, and sauce my ass.)
Every fact put forward is instantly dismissed as globalist disinformation. It doesn't even matter if RUSSIA ITSELF CONFIRMS IT LATER. Just today they admitted to their loses... but yeah nothing to see here. They aren't losing at all. They can just retake all that and it will cost them nothing. (I'm rolling my eyes right now)
I stated clearly when I was giving an opinion and I backed it up with my reasons and facts. I wasn't treated with counter facts. I was told my facts were propaganda because they came from Reddit. So no truth can ever be posted on Reddit... got it. I was then given counter facts strait from the fucking Russian ministry of truth that they then recanted days later. Seriously...?
I based my opinions on things that IMMUTABLE. A video of a guy raising a flag that everyone agrees is in a town Russia used to hold. Multiple videos that clearly show abandoned Russian equipment not scuttled and not booby trapped. Some of the videos showed city streets everyone agrees are formerly Russian controlled towns as well, see flag videos(same towns). You can't just magically fake all those videos. Too many smart people on the net would dissect them and discover they were fakes. Ukraine learned that lesson the hard way with the ghost of Kyiv bullshit footage from a video game. They're clearly REAL.
I watched a video today that was unconfirmed propaganda but it explained all of the things I couldn't quite understand. The commenter said their were reports in Izium etc that Russian troops were so panicked to run away and when they drove in vehicle columns out of town they were hit with artillery and slaughtered. So they abandoned their vehicles and ran away on foot. The supposed reason the Ukrainian attack has slowed down is because they are now following those soldiers who are on foot and they don't want to attack them because they might turn around and actually fight. They would rather those panicked soldiers reach the next town and panic the next set of soldiers so they run away too leaving even more equipment.
Ridiculous right? Sounds like a made up story, but what if its true? What if the combinations or poor moral, lack of leadership, and lack of training has caused exactly that to happen. The commander gets in his SUV and flees because he's not stupid and doesn't want to die. Then the troops panic and take off. It happened in Iraq why not to Russian troops?
If true it REALLY doesn't look good for Russia.
Anyway it doesn't change my main point. I'm trying to call strikes and balls with a little flair. Everyone on this board is rooting for Russia to win and doesn't like being told their team isn't winning. That is a perfect recipe for a metric crap-ton of confirmation bias. Its kind of sad really.
So to you and all the people downvoting me... check yourself.
Thanks for the lengthy write-up. I'll admit I've assumed Ukraine was bluffing and the war was mainly a disguised money laundering operation for the corrupt elites who hide out there and run those biolabs. Scott Adams has also been claiming Russia is losing the war and I've brushed him off for the most part since he took the vaccine and clearly isn't correct all the time. I still think there's too much fog of war to come to a conclusion just yet. If Putin loses it seems like that's very bad news for the great awakening. You've clearly done some research, so I appreciate the effort to inform if that is truly your intent, it seems we may need to consider the possibility that things may not be going Putin's way here.
When this all started the globalists spent a lot of time taunting Putin. Why? I remember a long winded rant on Tucker about how it was obvious that Putin might react that way to their provocations over Ukraine joining NATO. A guest came on and made tons of good points about how foolish Biden was being. Why would the globalists do that?
Easy... they get to launder money. They wanted Putin to attack Ukraine. It gives them an excuse to sanction him and fuck up the economy. They profit coming and going.
You think they baited him into attacking but left vast amounts of evidence for him to find and expose them? So what was the point??? They knew Russia's military was degraded. They didn't care is Ukraine won or lost. They wanted to test their new weapons. More importantly they wanted to blast Putin's war machine into a pile of scrap metal so he wasn't a real threat. Just in case.
Putin's ego got the better of him. If he'd won in that first few weeks he'd be fine. The moment his attack stalled and he had to reset he should have fucking bailed.
I truly believe the real problem is Putin's generals have been lying to him about how capable his military really is.
One other thing. Russia has never for even one day had air superiority. That's 3rd world military BS not 1st world superpower. If Russia was the USA Ukraine would have lost in the first two weeks. Why? Because once we took control of the air nothing would be safe anywhere. Russia's failure to take the high ground is just sad. And we all KNOW that's not propaganda. Its too obvious its true, or those HIMARS would be smoking wrecks already.
Back to reddit, faggot
Reddit might be cancer but a lot of videos are posted there with good info about the war if you know what you are looking for. I suggest you turn your fucking brain on and go look at all the videos of Ukrainians raising flags in towns previously held by the Russians. What you think the dozens of videos are all fake and Putin just forgot to rebut them?
It saddens me to see how far this board has fallen when it comes to this war. I gave up on worrying about who is on what side or rooting for either side. I've been focusing on studying the facts on the ground. They are looking pretty grim for Russia right now. Wake the fuck up. Reality is still their no matter how deep you stick your head in the sand.
All the shit posted on reddit is entirely one-sided. And no, I don't trust any post there because they'll post footage from other wars in other decades, claim it's x and they just gobble it up. Fuck back off to reddit.
I don't even have an account on Reddit. Other resources I use link to videos on Reddit. I hate Reddit. Its cancer. I verify those videos on a case by case basis. I'm quite able to tell bullshit from good info. When I first got on the net it was fucking called Peachnet and I dialed in on a 386DX16 with a 28.8 modem via UUCP to Dekalb Tech. The term internet didn't even exist. I'm not some fucking newb 20 year old punk who can't tell fake BS from real useful info. I'm a former EFnet IRC channel warrior. Are you even old enough to know what that means?
As I understand the situation. Putin has been pussyfootin' because he had an election coming up. With that over with, and an 80% approval rating, he's free to put more effort into the "special operation". In addition, Ukraine is running out of trained soldiers and ammunition. Russia is not.
I've been around since IRC. Spouting irrelevant exposition definitely makes you seem like some redditor faggot.
Broski...think about this why hasn't he (Pooty poo)just flew bombers in wiped the floor with the Ukrainian forces. He doesn't want the land, why leave communications up, he does not want the people to suffer. In war casualties will remain on both sides no matter what type of FUD your bringing. Point is they keep uncovering all these US bio labs so there has to be a reason...hmmm...maybe to show wtf is actually going on? Ukraine will make Epsteins Island look like it never happened. Anyways have fun.
You do understand that Russia has never for even one day had air superiority over most of Ukraine? Russian aircraft that fly over any part of western Ukraine don't come back. Why do you think Putin uses so many cruise missiles? Planes are WAY cheaper. Of course Ukrainian planes don't fair much better over eastern Ukraine or for sure not Russia.
I would love to see Russia reveal solid info on bio labs or hell just some solid accounting paperwork from the corruption we all know is there, but 90% of anything useful was in Kyiv. They failed utterly to even fucking ENTER Kyiv and there is no way in hell they are ever going to take it now. That ship sailed long ago.
So far all I've seen is propaganda puff BS about bio labs. No real hard evidence. If they had hard evidence where the fuck is it? They probibly got they idea to make/release propaganda about bio labs from this freaking message board. Its a self fulfilling prophecy. I see dead people... Puts on his tin foil hat.
Trump declassing, that has teeth. He had access to EVERYTHING. I'm waiting for that. I'm fucking holding my breath for that. (turns purple) I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for fucking Russia to release info they should have already released to bolster their case for the war. That's pure smoke and mirrors until I see some irrefutable sauce.
People on this board need to wake the fuck up. Reality doesn't have an opinion they can refute with a counter opinion. It just is what it is. The bio-lab thing is wishful thinking. I fucking hope like hell the plan wasn't to have Russia go get evidence because if it was they have fucking failed spectacularly and we are fucked.
According to Russia:
Russian forces have taken out a large ammunition depot in southern Ukraine. The attack eliminated a depot storing 45,000 tons of ammunition; more than 300 Ukrainian service members were killed and up to 1,000 wounded
The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost more than 800 people during the strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces at the points of deployment over the past day. 50,628 Ukrainian soldiers were already killed by Russian military forces.
There is nothing to suggest that Russia will not be able to continue saturating Ukrainian positions, especially in the Donbas, with upwards of 70,000 artillery shells and rockets per day. Russia has a 20-1 advantage over Ukraine in artillery, 40-1 advantage in artillery and rocket ammunition, and a daily air sortie rate of approximately 300 to five.
If true, that doesn't sound like Russia is losing anytime soon.
time will reveal all for all to see just like 9/11
I don't watch TV news other than Tucker. I watch videos on the net of actual combat or real shit, the type of videos that are damn near impossible to fake. Videos of Ukrainian flags being raised in dozens of northern cities that were controlled by Russia just a week or two ago are all over the place. They can't all be fake. Hell, Russia isn't even refuting that they have lost tons of territory. If the retreat is real then all the videos of equipment and ammo being left behind are real too. All the POWs are real etc etc.
If you study the map you also realize that Russia has lost several strategic advantages that it took them months to gain. They lost tens of thousands of men, tons of equipment etc to get where they were. A full 1/4 or more of that just went poof in a week and it cost Ukraine NOTHING. Even if Russia slogged out a fight and took every inch back they would still be losing because that would just be another 30k dead, another 2k tanks/APCs blown up... on and on. Even the USA doesn't have a bench that deep. Russia can't sustain this war for much longer. There isn't any more firewood to throw on this bonfire of stupidity.
"President Putin, I implore you to reconsider."
Killing is bad and wrong. There needs to be a stronger word for killing, like "badwrong" or "badong." Yes, killing is badong.
Such a great film.
But if Scholz's demand were strongly worded then the Russians would be impressed and be sure to do what was asked of them, wouldn't they?
I mean that's what the republicans are doing in the US, right?
They should ask Lindsey Graham to write it. He’s great at strongly worded letters
Nein! A strongly worded letter would be more effective.
LOL

OK that was funny.

Woooosh
that was putin talking to the germans in german ;)
Five gallons of wind turbine?
This is hilarious, it's two non-intersecting worlds colliding. The ClownWorld West has lost the plot they think the narrative is everything, when it is not.
The objective truth is that this war has returned Russia into proper SuperPower status. Daily Russia fires off as many artilliary shells as were fired in the entire Gulf War and the West has emptied their arsenals as gifts to the Ukrainians. The power asymmetry is terrifying. The West imposes sanctions... that hurt it's own people, meanwhile the Russian economy is booming.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians and their Western mercenaries are being continuously fed into a meat grinder. Having read a lot of WW2 books, the similarities between Zelensky and Hitler are staggering:
And in Europe we have ONCE AGAIN, the fucking Krauts leading the charge into an unwinnable war, supported by totalitarianism. Small fucking wonder that the political leaders don't want 20th Century history taught to kids.
And yet again, history repeats itself as a farce.
Hitler is now a literal clown and the Krauts don't even have enough sovereignty to save their own economy
That would have been a short phone call.
"CLICK".
I would say that is probably the response.
LOL
"Stupid" barely touches it.
Lol i don't think Putin cares if anyone recognizes the objective fact that he controls specific territory. These people don't even recognize a man as a man and a woman as a woman
Meanwhile Putin is clipping his toenails and mumbling "hmmm" every 2 mins.
A guy at work used to talk to customers and put the phone down his pants. Every little while he'd pull it out and go, "uh-huh".
Was his first name Jeffrey?
The interesting thing to me was that Scholz brought up the issue of a ceasefire. This obviously indicates he is looking for a way out. If Germany pulls the plug so will the remainder of the EU and without them the US and UK can't hold out alone. Putin could wind up getting what he wants without having to conquer all of Ukraine and at the same time demonstrate to them how they have been used by the West.
What Putin really wants is for the West to back down first.
He threw a challenge to the collective West. If the West backs down, he is now much more closer to being the alpha guy in the world. African countries, the Middle East, Asia will all be looking at this and thinking that the current hegemon is really kind of getting old and decrepit and we don't have to listen to him anymore.
This is why the US is perfectly willing to destroy the EU to try and stop Putin. In fact, way more willing than Putin himself, who wants to save Europe if possible because they have always been the best markets for Russian goods. Russia will only lose long-term from the destruction of the EU while the US has trillions to gain.
What about that warming Russia put out at the beginning. Putin said something like ‘anybody who intervenes will be met with swift action unlike anything ever see ‘ that’s emp talk IMO
If anybody jumps in, it’s ww3
And with that, Putin pulled his troops and everyone lived happily ever after.
And everyone clapped.
It must be nice to demand things.
Der fette Spacko soll man schön seine Fresse halten, der Kessel is' hier domestisch gut am dampfen. Die feinen Schweinsherrschaften im Parlament und im Bundestag sollen mal schön froh sein, dass sie Polizei, Militär und Private Sichies auf ihrer seite haben und wir Kleinbürger entmächtigt sind. Wird die Masse aber nicht mehr lange davon abhalten, ihren Unmut kund zu tun, dat kannste' wissen.
Just give it a good ol' slap and it should work again!
...No? Well, damn shame about that, see ya wouldn't wanna be a german this winter!
Interesting. What are "Private Sichies"?
private security (Private Sicherheit), Sichie is just a slang word i use for security/Sicherheit as in "Ja sichie diggie" = "Ja sicherlich, Kumpel" = "of course, dude"
Foreign language post translation:
“The fat Spacko should keep his mouth shut, the kettle is steaming well here domestically. The fine pig rulers in Parliament and the Bundestag should be happy that they have the police, military and private Sichies on their side and that we petty bourgeois are disempowered. But it won't keep the masses from expressing their displeasure for much longer, you know that.”
I hope the turning is soon, otherwise Germany may not be salvageable.
Ehh, countless peoples and nations and tribes have tried to destroy germania magna in the past and we are still around. The germanics (We sure are a contentious lot!), the romans, [insert screeching in middle ages free-for-all], don't even get me started on the renaissance/napoleonic clownfiesta, WW1, WW2 etc pepe.

How are you negotiating from a position of strength when you're the first to bring up a ceasefire?
Germany demanding.. lmfao
Pretty please with sugar on top?
Good luck with that demand!
Putin: “ We’ll get right on that” 🙄
And yet the Lamestream media is claiming that Russian troops are pulling out of Ukraine...
Typical lies.
Turn the fucking pipeline off and let them rot.
Russia could swat Germany dead like a house fly. But. . . . I'm worried about the pliers factory. Knipex makes the best pliers on Earth.
N O
Doesn't Russia have Germany bent over the barrel regarding energy sales? What position is Germany in to be making "Demands?"
And Germany gets their energy from whom?...
Probably more true than we know... kek!
"Yes ---- when operation is finished!"
Shouldn’t this at least be a sternly worded letter.
Oh wait… gonna need that paper for winter.
The last people on earth that the Russians are going to take demands from are the Germans.
While we've gone soft here in the US and basically forgotten WWII, the Russians are still taught about the German atrocities in their country.
Finally they act like the "old commie" German Democratic Republic that joined Soviet Union aka "East Germany". If Germany doesn't go to war they can't blame Putin for the winter energy shortage.
I demand a million dollars
