International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V14

[AWilder]

This interesting an may help get aid to countries like Ukraine. Sullivan a Republican from Alaska has been a voice for Republicans in the past. This could turn really a big deal. Joni Ernst from Iowa weighed in with support to Ukraine. She has ties with some on the more Trump leaning end. She a Veteran an served in Iraq.
"
Sullivan called the blockade “a national security suicide mission,” and said the Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were loving it."

what blockade?

To be fair. Two buckets of carrots and a bag of onions are about what you can buy with 3 million rubles.

i expect he will get a Russian lesson in gravity or toxic substances sooner rather than later.

russian offensive near Synkivka going as planned (they are firing more artillery shells so its ok)

 

[SandisLL]

You came back just to post more russian state propaganda? I'm pretty sure everyone's aware of how shitty a source the Russian Times is literally run by the Kremlin.

Point being, you don't need to return to bother with this. It isn't moving the needle at all.

Put him and his clones on ignore list.
It is only method working vs him and his clones and will reduce his paycheck ....dramatically. Ofc also for his clones with different user agents and IPs etc stuff.
Lad is earning 1 rouble for 2 posts before tax....
Not only here....it is his job for a living.

yikes, lots of sleeping russians in that one.

It's like Communist Russia all over again, the breadlines have returned. Its madness that Putin has done this to his own people.

Yep, and he’s becoming more insane everyday. He will kill every last Russian if he has to , to achieve his goals. He will never stop unless he can get at least his 4 annexes oblasts back and by the speed of his armies and loses per km it will devastate Russia. Putler will cut the nose off his own face before he stops.

 

[SandisLL]

Actually U.S and UN torther with Russia and other beauties had proved that they are weak and useless.
Any country inerently does have rights to use all kind of weapons without fear from weak U.S and weak Russia and Co.
It is reality. Weak and dumb.

Ukraine wasn't going to join NATO or host foreign military bases. They wanted to join the EU for the economic benefits at the expense of Russia's own economic union.

Ukraine had already completed 3 of the 5 steps needed to join NATO.

If they weren't going to join, they shouldn't have taken the bluff that far. They only have themselves, the United States and the UK to blame for how bad this all turned out.

The invasion never had to happen as Russia was seeking a guarantee of neutrality and an end to the bombing Ukraine agreed to stop in the Donbas.

If they had kept their word in the Minsk agreements and not tried to join NATO, they would have kept all territory and had no loss of life.

The invasion could have ended quickly, but Zelensky backed out of a signed peace deal made a month into the war at the behest of Boris Johnson.

If they kept their word from the peace deal signed in Turkey, the DPR and LPR would be independent states, but very little life would have been lost.

Since they kept deciding to violate and back out of their agreements, Russia has annexed Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaparozhia. The Russians now have a land bridge to Crimea.

Do you see the pattern? The longer they wait to negotiate and continue making agreements in bad faith, the worse bargaining position they find themselves in. They should negotiate now while they still can. If they don't negotiate soon, Russia will keep taking territory and eventually Odessa. If that happens, then for all intents and proposes, Ukraine will be a landlocked rump state.

They can't win and their negotiating position only gets worse the longer this goes on. The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43 at this point. When is enough enough?

The number of civilian casualties when Putin launched his invasion from the Russian backed separatist conflict was in the single digits for several years.

This is Kremlin bullshit of the highest quality.

Putin didn't invade because of civilian casualties in the Donbass. He invaded because his separatists failed to separate from Ukraine and the conflict was basically over.

He had to reignite the conflict or admit that the separatist movement was dead and didn't actually exist with any meaningful political or military force in the first place.

typical Kremlin bot that only sees what has happened to UKR and think Russia is in great shape from this. this war is going to end Russia as it's just a matter of time. You think UKR will want peace and hand over Russia their land and everything will be fine?
Do you think the war crimes will be forgotten and sanctions will all the sudden end and Russia will get it's oil and gas customers back?
Do you think the rouble will make a comeback and interest rates will go down and business will come back to Russia?
Russia is going to die from a 1000 cuts from this war so dont expect a military celebration and parade when putin expects to get his annexed territories back.
And Putin isnt stopping until he get's Odessa back, he basically said as much.

Putin crony found dead in yet another mystery fall from window​

Vladimir Egorov, 46, fell to his death from a third floor window in oil town Tobolsk

"Vladimir Egorov, 46, was a member of the ruling United Russia party and prominent politician in the oil-rich Tobolsk region in western Siberia.

His body was found in the yard of his home, with a source close to the investigation noting there was ‘no visible sign of a criminal death on [his] body’.

Heart problems are among ‘the most likely’ explanations, according to Russian media, in line with several untimely deaths among prominent figures since the start of the war on Ukraine.

How that relates to Egorov falling out of a window is less clear.

News outlet Baza reported: ‘Police are now investigating what exactly caused his fall.’

A trained lawyer with business interests, Egorov had earlier been forced to leave the city administration in 2016 after a corruption scandal for which he was ultimately not convicted."

He returned to politics and was the wealthiest local deputy in Tobolsk. He leaves a wife and two children.

I thought you may like this one it is remotely possible that the US and Ukraine are playing a game on Russia by Ukrainians flying F-16 but not engaging but firing longer range rockets to take out Russia jets. They could be using a longer range radar that has top secret designation and rockets that can hit up to 300 kilometers away "nearly 190 miles away". Russian fighter jets radar lack the range to go beyond 150 to 200 kilometers away they are blind and the rockets travel at mach 4 towards the target. Everybody thinks it is the Patriot missile batteries but Ukraine only currently have 3 of them. These planes are far enough a part that would put them out of range of the Patriot missile batteries. This would be a brilliant move an possibly they are flying out of another Country so people don't see them flying over Ukraine by taking off Ukrainian runways or have a secret runway or base to fly out of . Anyway a military guy on a network thrown out the potential idea.

"In the early hours of December 26, a Ukrainian missile strike damaged Russia's Novocherkassk landing ship in Crimea. Russian-aligned or anti-Ukrainian Telegram channels have since speculated that an F-16 was used to fire the cruise missiles at the Russian vessel, and what threat the jets in Ukraine's hands could pose to the Kremlin."

Ukraine F-16 speculation mounts as Russia loses 8 fighter jets in 3 weeks

Ukraine has scored several high-profile victories against Russian aircraft in recent weeks and damaged a large landing ship in Crimea on Tuesday.

Does storm shadow even work on F-16? i mean id assume so...


Then again apparently some of the F-16s are being upgraded with Block 70 technology
