Russia v Ukraine

[M_B]

We are just 10 days away from 2 years of Putin's war. I'd say the Ukrainians are doing a lot better than the world expected.

 

2024 & 2025 will depend upon western support. If Trump gets in power, then it's the end of Ukraine as we know it and probably the end of NATO. But even if he doesn't, the Russian supporters in the Republican Party will do their best to ensure a Ukrainian defeat. It's not going to be easy.

I thought you would ask him how come it took Russia two days to get to Mariupol from Crimea. And why was the bridge still standing when they rolled into Kherson at the same time.

 

It's a stalemate. Ukraine haven't got the ammo òr the men.

Ukraine just sunk a Russian ship didn't they?

An awful lot of strange shit going on in that post. 

There is, you’re right - he was accurately outlining your behaviour in this thread. Very strange indeed

Yeah good.

 

 

 

 

 

It's the situation with manpower on the ground this video deals with. It's grim. Ukraine are losing lives, many many lives. They've also just sacked their top general. They're going to run out of men. 

 

 

This report below is imo as accurate as you're going to get.

Once they run out of men, they can always go back to mobilizing old women, as per the previous links.

Most of those women are probably dead now.

 

 

No, they seem to be looking over the horizon for other steams of cannon fodder now. I'm sure you'll be one of the first to thrust your hand in the air when Johnson and the other Grifters send out the calling.

Russia have already lost the war. Even if Ukraine cede land to them, with its ruined buildings, Russia's reputation as a capable military force is shattered for good. Putin is forever isolated, the oligarchs are persona non grata in the West. Ukraine has lost troops, civilians, villages, Russia has lost ships, generals, admirals. Their top mercenary tried to start a coup and was offed.

It all depends on how much money they have left. Money builds new bridges.

Shiny new bridges are not often constructed over "rubble". Those new money bridges will be reaching out to different partners methinks.

Certainly there are quite a few Russki fellas with topped up bank accounts with plans that go well beyond Putin's time left on earth.

I agree with most of that. Putin massively misjudged that invasion. The part on him being isolated though is starting to unravel now. He's forged closer links to China and countries across Africa and South America. Plus the American/Israeli actions in Gaza has been a lifeline. Putins positioned himself on the right side in the eyes of most of the world. Gaza has also shone a light on American hypocrisy.

How much money will we have left. We've just entered recession.

None.

 

but he is not talking about the UK I don't believe.

But you are right, zero money is left for the UK.

This is what you get with the stupid situation with the Yanks taking the piss with aid.

[SasaS]

My point was, Russia is economically much more important than Ukraine. The West is still doing good business with Russia. Billions are still made on equipment and even machinery necessary for Russian military industrial production, this is all knowingly exported either through intermediaries or directly to Russians. Imagine the deals once the war is over.

[Anubis]

So Johnson will join the British Army if it is fighting Russia, but won't join the Ukranian Irregulars, which has a more pressing need. Riiiiiiiiiight, Boris. No pointless posturing there, then.

[SasaS]

He did throw that grenade like a natural.

Navalny - Dead

[Lurtz]

To be fair, Navalny's done well to fall out of a hospital window whilst in a siberian prison. 

[Pidge]

Just needed some desperate dope to help try and humanise him to the moronic online contrarian audience before finally pulling the trigger.

 

Great job, Tucker.

 

Look forward to all the "there's no evidence" takes for the next couple of years.

[Captain Turdseye]

Loved Navalny since this. A great watch.

Tuckers walking around Russian supermarkets marvelling that they've got bread and potatoes.

Took long enough - at that rate this war will be going on for another decade.
