from what I gather it seems like a prisoner swap was setup before they actually surrendered. Time will tell if Russia actually follows through with the swap. Regardless I’m glad it’s over for them, they will go down in history as complete badasses. Zelensky said “hero’s need to be alive” so here’s to hoping most of them make it.

What do you not understand? They held up
12-15 BTGs of Russians for 80 days. Nobody ever said they were going to miraculously beat Russians back out of Mauripol and liberate the city. It’s also being noted that a prisoner swap has already been setup for these men.

I'm pointing out that when you are referring to him as a possible Russian asset and ignoring that he's actually doing his own thing, you are not engaging his shitty arguments.

Vladimir Putin might have blood cancer, hidden audiotapes reveal
"Many have been wondering for some time how ill Vladimir Putin really is. Time and time again there have been sources who spill the beans about the Kremlin leader's health, one of them being a former Russian spy. Putin’s last appearance suggested that he was taking painkillers like cortisone. His gait was said to be stiff and his face downright puffy from the cortisone.
We are not, of course, in a position to independently confirm this claim. But the recording is a rare statement from a person with proven ties to the Russian government that the fanatical dictator could be seriously unwell.
The Kremlin leader has been travelling in the company of specialists, including ENT doctors, Alexei Shcheglyov and Igor Yezakov, orthopaedic traumatologist Konstantin Sim, and neurosurgeon Yevgeny Selivanov, who specialises in oncology.
Moreover, his face seems to have changed considerably over some time. It is no longer gaunt but swollen with a plump neck, an appearance that could point to the use of steroids. These can be used to treat lymphomas or myelomas, according to Ashley Grossmann, professor of endocrinology at Oxford University."

I'm not going to say he's a Russian asset (Sen. McCain said that). I'm just going to say he's useful to Russia and is probably oblivious to that.
I don't buy.
Btw not cos politics. I didn't had bought natural gas even before 2022 th.
Companies are businesses, nothing new.
Russia smoothly sold crude oil in 1970 ies, despite Vietnam, support to Sadam, North Korea.
However now things are different...
If ppl didn't had read prognosis about future NG prices in 2006-2007 th and didn't had get how unstable and dangerous Russia is when 2008 th they launched huge anti western internal brainwashing campaign in Russia...
Also how insecure are natural gas supplies.
Pipeline, valves and ....sorry, gas storages are only solution to cover short term demand.
Mainly cos in summer demand is lower.
While with other energoresources you might choose from xx suppliers and get best offer.
+ relatively easy to store reserves...
However some companies and countries were smart and had read such papers in 2006-2007 th...
With current NG prices rising NOV-DEC-JAN-FEB before ukraine stuff alone should be enough to get....what will happen NOW.....
Just if you have fixed for 12 months contract as retail customer .....you will see changes in prices with next contract.
And think: it is only cos sanctions.
Nope.
Price hiked even before Ukr stuff...

Steroids are used for different diseases and to treat different conditions.
It is not mandatory that a person who uses corticosteroids does have oncology at all.
They are widely used to battle with alergic reactions, autoimmune diseases ( some from them are not less deadly than cancer ) , also to prevent autoimmune reactions afrer organs transplantation: here btw some regimens uses also ...chemo...and coctails with xx medicaments.
+ also to increase painkillers effect, some regimens does use roids+ painkillers + some stuff used in psychiatry...
+ in some cases in order to prevent possible alergic reaction.
F.e if there is 1 medicament that might help you to survive but here high risk that allergic reaction too might kill you= doctors might offer to load you with this stuff and then administer medicament.

If the Russians let them go, it would be a huge blow to Russian morale.
You too bought Kremlin's story about nazis.
Nothing wrong, it is predictable...
Ants morale in Moscow might be boosted with such measures: scheduled referendum to incorporate separatist controlled in Georgia : South Osetia in Russian Federation.
Kremlin ordered to conduct such referendum...
Not Putin, political party " united russia ".
Next morale booster most likely will be ..." help " to seperatists in Moldova, they are waiting Mother Russia 30 years...
BTW referendum there might be done with just enough decent vodka supplies. 0 losses warranted...

Shit's gettin' real. If their nukes work as well as their military maybe they will turn themselves into a collector's plate before anyone gets hurt by them. But I don't think they will ever use them to begin with because if they did, I think that would spell the end of Mother Russia in any event.

"Bombardment - A continuous attack with shot and shell upon a town, fort, or other position; the act of throwing shot and shell into an enemy's town in order to destroy the buildings."
The plant and tunnels would had been completely destroyed had it been under constant bombardment for a few months. The game plan explicitly stated was to not go on the offensive at the steel plant, to sit back and starve them out, and it worked.
Outside of a few shots at the plant to deal with the Azovites popping up to shoot at them, they weren't really aggressively attacking the plant.

Nazi badasses that were holding civilians hostage in tunnels. OK.
They will not use nukes.
It isn't poor elite ruling Russia.
They are very rich, does have villas, luxurous flats, their family members and kids too...close friends too.
Also....investments. Even in west and properties in both: west and east....
Ants just are brainwashed about great ideas, deNazification and " rusofobia " in west and EU. While brainwashers loves to have villas, Rolex, even shares in businesses...
In 1982 th they more likely had turned keys to launch nuke...
However more likely when Stalin was alive.
He just more trusted old stuff: bombers, not missiles...
They till 1953 th also had low number with nukes......
there are a few foreigners that are fucked, so I’m not sure everything that is happening around that situation. Definitely need to keep an eye on it.
Are you just making shit up? Shit post like this aren’t worth responding to but I’ll give you a chance to post a single source saying the civilians in the plant were “hostages” you imbecile.
It worked? LOL. Why are there countless videos of Russians getting their shit pushed in around the plant for two months straight? Why are there countless videos of it being bombed and white phosphorus being used on the plant? You do know that is a war crime to use where civilians are located right? If the plan was to starve them out why in the fuck would they drop white phosphorus on the plant multiple times? Someone has been drinking the Kremlin koolaid too long.
With Snubnoze everythinh is clear and it is not worth even to conversate with him. It will be useless....
He even will not admit reality: this area in city had best shelters....btw initially built to protect workers and civilians for close area in case if...bad west will bomb city.
It always was civilian object in soviet times.

If you watch the full testimony from Natalia Usmanova - not the clipped up version that cut out these parts shown in western media - she states just that:
