International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[San Marino]

So I find your statement above somewhat hard to believe. Based on a few videos you ask? I get it. But it's unscripted interactions with the local populace. So yeah,

Depending on the source of the YouTube video. No, not just videos, but various media articles, ISW, and other sources.

The Ukrainian military of 2026 is no longer the Ukrainian military of 2022 and 2023. Things have only gotten worse and will continue to get worse. The same cannot be said of the Russian military. They are still in Ukraine. They are still fighting, and now gaining ground after causing high Ukrainian casualties.

He has a recent video from 2025 I believe. Look it up.

Ukraine isn't country, ukrainian isn't language and ukrainian language is russian dialect nothing more. Putin. February 2022 th.

Something changed when ukraine had pro kremlin oriented lawmakers and government ?
When ukrainians were drilled to fight vs bad NATO and ukr government supplied strategic weapons for russia, Putin told Bush that ukraine is Russia's province.

I even hope that in crazy mode Trump will de classify Bush and Putin phone conversations in full ammount about ukraine. All texts.

Lavrov office had invested damn a lot of russian taxpayers money to spread PSyOPs and propaganda in multiple languages. Especial focus on internet.

He had heavily failed in India, maybe cos putinstan times internet shit ( ppl in India usually gaves 0 f about ukr or russia, so media is picking some stuff and really might not care ).
Lavrov confirmed Modi that Russia didn't had invaded any foreign country and ukraine is russia.
Also georgia and armenia for him are russian territories.
Modi, being angry about delayed weapons supplies then managed to press down crude oil prices even more.

Russia still had failed to supply AWACS in time despite had signed delivery contracts ....

 

[SandisLL]

Doesn't makes sense what stuff ukr will sign or will not sign.
Ukraine in controlled by Kiev areas is de facto United States colonium.
With 0 bright future chances : colonium owner isn't willing even to sell colonium weapons normally and doesn't have balls even to install in colonium peacekeepers after peace deal. Beautiful owner and colonium doesn't have any chances cos owner loves Putin a lot.
Also 0 chances about future after war. 0.

So only hope for ukrainians after war will be to elect lawmakers who will allow them to relocate from poverty hole without future. Only this chance.

Plus China, Russia and U.S hopes that dumb europeans tax money will be used to rebuild their property :colonium without future.
Also ofc some % of ukraine should remain on paper independent in order to milk slaves dry properly for personal, businesses and municipal and government debts.
Maybe will pray God to dream to relocate to Zimbabwe. Will be better perspectives for youth than Ukr debts colonium without future.

btw recently IMF officials had visit in Kiev.
After this ukr lawmakers told that changes in small businesses taxation will be implemented. It is difficult to pretend to be sovergein country while all world does knows that Ukraine is U.S colonium de facto plus should do also all orders from xxx lenders on top of this beauty.
Still on paper it is sovergein country.
Till visits from WB, EBRD, IDB, EIDB etc officials with instructions how to breath properly. If will not listen, should have $ on the table to repay loans.

 

[SandisLL]

Btw IMF loan isn't most dangerous stuff.
EBRD is satanic if compare with hienas from IMF.

Part of WB loans is partially warranted by other countries and if after war Ukr will not start pay smoothly according to signed schedule, ukr will get sanctions from these countries central banks and state treasuries.
Now, when war is going, WB allowed to delay payments contracted in loans agreements. After war will end they will switch ON clock immediately.

 

[SandisLL]

With january payments for WB ykr managed to weasel out thanks to Japan.
However there is risk: if they will not start pay smoothly after war, BOJ and Japan's State Treasury will have rights to implement sanctions. Financial sanctions.

Is February hotter than January in Ukr?, because in January they are not able to move even an inch forward for some cold reason!!!

For Putin perssonel is hired and booked. Cos for special operation payment is higher than for casual pros, they are booking payments to schedule payouts 1x in beginning of month or before new month had started.

Therefore if funding is signed, most likely small special opetation will be all calendar month.

This shouldn’t be a problem,

From my understanding Russia is beginning to use African conscripts..

These recruits are ideal for the most formidable winters..

 

[SandisLL]

Stuff for ukraine looks very bad today.
U.S officials appeared very " succesful " to talk with EC officials.

EC had prepared tariffs bill for import from U.S as retalation measure.
They will gave 0 fuck about illusions regards safety " U.S weapons sales for big profits " makes.
Approx 93 b € worth tariffs.
Also it is only beginning.
EP might vote to void ~ 175 b $ worth trade agreements with U.S.

Threats to remove troops will not help. They will tell that troops should had been remowed yesterday together with civies, banks and corporations too.

In worst case they might tell that doesn't needs to purchase weapons and so on from U.S and this will increase wealth and safety in europe.

 

[SandisLL]

EU had get that they were wrong when agreed that U.S will apply 10 % tariffs for import from EU and EU will apply 0 % tariffs for import from U.S.
They showed weakness and trump continued to press even more.

EU doesn't needs american troops, weapons or to attempt be friendly with senile bully administration.

Next week maybe will vote to void trade agreements and apply tariffs on import from U.S.

As for security yanks might today relocate till Lisbon and pump might collect them in time, in order not to create Saigon II rats running scenario.

 

[SandisLL]

Only reason is that all this shit is because Trump is senile.

EC doesn't have legal authority over Greenland and even if they will agree to sell him Greenland such paper will be lesser worth than toilet paper peace.
Trump can't get reality and how such papers does work.

 

[SandisLL]

there is stuff that diplomacy requires reading skills and doesn't needs rude, cocky mortgage speculants.

Greenland isn't EU member so even with this mortgage speculants were wrong when choosed to yell on EC.
EC and EP might agree or not agree, over Greenland they does have 0 legal authority. So all papers will be used toilet paper worth.
Still speculants looks that really are not just senile, also are disabled with serious basic reading problems.

 

[SandisLL]

next week on the table might appear such things :
1. Tariffs for import from U.S.
2. Offer to vote to denounce trade agreement with U.S.

3. Next thing if will happen will be horrible IF EP will vote yes.
It might be nail in coffin in financial relationships between EU and U.S.
If will happen, will be voted for partial restrictions for U.S based businesses to operate in EU. Including banks and brokers etc.

plus if EP will support and vote for this, EC will be absolutely helpless and it will be end of game.

 

[SandisLL]

If about first 2 things mentioned I agree and should had been done long ago, 3 rd idiotism is real mental clinic worth ......not better than Trump might do.

February would be colder.
Ideal temperatures for the Ruskies.
...and it could all end tomorrow if Putin would only level Kiev. I still don't know what he is waiting for.

Im no expert but so far it seems moving forward becomes "easier" in summer, more difficult in cold winter. Other posters have explained something about soldier detection through infrared optics, among other factors!

As for levelling Kyiv im not 100% sure it ends the war considering ukr stubborness, ukr armed forces are maybe 0.2% concentrated in Kyiv, 99.8% are spread apart at the front lines. If that option was the winning variant Putin would have already used it! Just yesterday he jumped in cold water to catch the cross, doesn't make sense to deliberately target a million civilan orthodox christians one day after that jump!
