War in Ukraine

Didn’t we discuss this already ? You knew the government was lying about its other wars but they’re telling the truth about this one!

 

The Russians are almost all dead, those left are starving, frost bitten and reduced to fighting with shovels. How are they doing this to an army of two-million as supplied by 50+ nations ?

 

What's to lie about? Russia needlessly invaded. Did a horrific job off it and let the Ukrainians get on the front foot. Once they did, we gave them old weapons, bullets and artillery shells. Literally 1/1000th of the commitment in terms of money, men and materials. Again, what's to hide? Russia's failures are right there for the world to see.

The Russian invasion wasn't fake (like WMD's). Face it, all of this is on Putin just as all of Iraq is on Bush. It was their stupid decisions that led to both. And in both cases, both the US and Russia would have done well to listen to the opposition rather than march right into a lake of quicksand.

 

Russians marching into quicksand …

 

Yeah, quicksand. What did they get, 7km for the cost of 3000 lives. At this rate of loss (you can look this up), they will run out of men before they conquer half of Ukraine. Even if Ukraine surrendered today, Russia is still fucked beyond measure here. No way to spin this other than catastrophic failure.

 

Of course your dogged informed of irrational and visceral hatred for Russians and unproven axiom that Russia is suffering vast losses in chewing through Ukraine’s nearly two-million strong army as supplied by 50+ nations. The fact is Russia is waging a war of attrition in a way no other nation can.

 

Jesus! Word salad much? This is completely incomprehensible.

Whatever dude. You're clearly off the reservation.

 

“Chechen Special Forces Academy Hit by Drone Attack”: Kadyrov Confirms First Chechnya Strike Since Ukraine Invasion

A Chechen special forces training academy in Gudermes was struck by a drone attack early Tuesday, marking the first reported drone strike on Chechen soil since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Russian Special Forces University, known for training thousands of troops deployed to Ukraine, sustained damage to an empty building’s roof, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov reported.

“At 6:30 a.m., an unmanned aerial attack caused a fire on the roof of an unoccupied building within the Russian University of Special Forces,” Kadyrov stated on Telegram. He confirmed there were no casualties or injuries and that the fire was quickly contained. Investigations are underway to determine those responsible for the attack.

The Russian Special Forces University plays a prominent role in Russia’s military operations, with its training programs covering an array of combat tactics, including shooting, artillery, and parachute operations. According to the Kremlin, over 47,000 troops trained at the facility have been sent to the front lines in Ukraine.

While drone attacks have become common in areas closer to Ukraine and on Russia’s western border, this strike in the North Caucasus region underscores the evolving nature of the conflict and could signal an expansion of hostilities into previously unaffected areas.

 

Why would a Kamala voter be put off by word salad ? In any case, the difference between hers and mine is that mine is a single cogent thought sans punctuation for effect.

But run back to your cellmates who earnestly believe that more than twice than twice as many Russians have been killed as ever inserted in theatre … then come running back as you always do.

 

Cool. More nonsense. I'm sure the rest of thr short bus is proud.

 

I assume you are talking to Lee Harvey. Lee Harvey has no principles, other than the concept of "Russia good, U.S. bad". It's why most people have him on ignore.

 

He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. You try to throw a semi olive branch but realize pretty quickly he's over his skis on about everything.

 

Bot alert, bot alert, bot alert..........

 

I find Putin lovers to be the dullest of blades............

 

go Finland. pretty bold, seizing properties owned by the Russian federation

Finland seizes $4.25 billion in Russian assets over Crimea claims

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Finnish ambassador to express strong opposition to a Finnish court's decision to seize Russian assets valued at $4.25 billion. This confiscation was executed at the request of the Ukrainian company Naftohaz, which seeks compensation for property lost in Crimea.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted sharply to the seizure by Finnish authorities of 45 properties belonging to the Russian Federation. According to Russia, the seized properties include buildings with diplomatic immunity that are used by the Russian embassy for official purposes.

A representative of Russian diplomacy informed the Finnish ambassador "to reconsider this illegitimate decision, grossly violating provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, as soon as possible." Russia also warned that if Helsinki does not respond, retaliatory actions will be taken.

 

Shades of Mannerheim!

 

You're wasting your time arguing with Lee Harvey. He can't tell the difference between 2,000 volunteers from other nations defending Ukraine (the actual number), and a 2 million man army from other nations (his imagination, fueled by Kremlin propaganda). He is literally that stupid.

 

"Russia solve problem pay for war in Ukraine." Fine Google $20 decillion (billion trillion trillion) for not allowing Russian propaganda on YouTube. The entire world's GDP is believed to be $110 trillion. Mankind could pay this off in 182 trillion years at the current GDP rate. The sun is expected to explode in 5 billion years, if that helps your frame of reference. This must be Putin's way of asserting that he is not an Austin Powers Dr. Evil level of idiot asking for $1 million; instead, he is a diametrically-opposed evil idiot who asks for way more than is theoretically possible.

Russia fines Google more than the world's entire GDP

 

The war is already in dark days - Ukraine war briefing: western allies’ response to North Korean deployment is ‘zero’, Zelenskyy says | Ukraine | The Guardian

but agree the response here from the west has been so useless. The problem is manpower now not weapons. Time to shit or get off the pot.

 

Let’s see what happens after the election. I understand a measure of reticence at the moment, but come Wednesday the gloves need to be set aside.
