Sadam Hussein said more than this.


cheesy cheesy

Comparing Putin to Sadam has to be the most ludicrous thing I have ever read. Most of you are dumb beyond redemption.

Anyway, it looks like things are going to escalate into Moldova in the coming days/weeks and Russia vs NATO confrontation will eventually happen if NATO doesn’t pussy out again.

I guess then we’ll find out how swift Russia can hit NATO countries and bases.

weapons dont win war, people do. Really So why didn't they win the war before the US supplied them weapons and why are we arguing on this thread cause apparently, from the topic of this thread ,your mini god, putin thinks otherwise grin .lol

They paid for the weapons? Why didn't they buy from other countries if US weapons weren't superior at that time? U.S should have joined the war when hiltler didn't attack them or thier interest? How much longer did the war last after the US joined?

What officially ended the WWII?? Hitler's death or the surrender of japan?

How Y'all just scream propaganda on anything concerning the U.S baffles me tbh. Was it the U.S president that made or composed the post war press statement by stalin?

A country supplied massive weaponry
to both uk and russia, that lead to the defeat of the Almighty nazi army and also bombed the hell out of almighty japan to surrender. Yet, y'all are saying russia won the war?

Dude pleaseeeeee!! grin

Weapons don’t win war (people do) - if they do, the US would’ve won the Vietnam war and not lose over 100k servicemen. They used every weapon on earth against Vietcong peasants, yet lost the war. People win wars.

Soviets mostly bought weapons from the US because the US was the only weapons manufacturer that wasn’t part of the war. Nazis were also buying weapons from American companies whilst getting financed by Wall Street.

And the war ended in Europe after the Nazis were defeated. As for Japan: they were already planning to surrender to the US - when Soviet forces decided to attack them. The Japanese were scared of the Soviets. The US just decided to get ahead of itself and use nuclear weapons to claim Japan before the Soviets got there. And it was the same reason they occupied west Germany when the Soviet forces were marching to Berlin. Losing Germany and Japan to the Soviets would have given them no chance against communism.

Most of you don’t read - you just indoctrinate yourselves with dumb propaganda.

Only the AGM 183 failed
The tested one recently plus they have dark eagle hypersonic missile too in Germany
I mean if you keep believing that the test failed, why you pro Putin find it hard to believe when they say, they tested hypersonic missile

You don’t successfully test a missile and then create allied nations to research the same weapon.

Dark Eagle isn’t even deployed yet - it’s expected to be deployed in 2023. And from the two tests already done - they’re ballistic missiles.

Russia already used two variants of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine which NATO confirmed: one from MiG-31 and another one from a ship.

Again, the killings are totally unnecessary. Flattening cities, killing children, the elderly, vulnerable is unjustifiable.

Sadly, that’s what happens during war time - avoidable deaths and destruction. Once big weapons get involved - that’s the killing machine.

However, the only silver lining is that civilian death has been minimal. And at the least count by Ukrainians - there are still less than 2,000 dead civilians. Compare that to NATO bombings of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya where civilian death is over a million combined.

lol nukes asides? You're obviously the uninformed one here.

Lastly, please read up which country assisted Russia in defeating Hitler...lmao..russia that was almost overan by hilter down to even Stalingrad? Also read Stalin's statement/press release on USA after the war ended. Please stop the misinformation

That Nazi army in Stalingrad would’ve crushed the US if the US had been involved in that war when it started. There’s a reason why they refused to join. That same army crushed the whole of Europe and would’ve crushed the U.K. if they wanted to but Hitler wasn’t really interested in the U.K. and saw the Soviets as the bigger threat. You saw what happened to the French.

The US navy wasn’t even top-3 in the world at this point - Nazi, Japan and the U.K. had the best navies.

Weapons don’t win wars - people do. The US helping out with weapons since it wasn’t invaded doesn’t mean it helped significantly. And those weapons were mostly parts which the Soviets paid for anyway. And it’s basically like buying weapons. Countries buy weapons during wars - it doesn’t mean they’re helped.

Most of you just spam idiotic propaganda everywhere. Revisionism laced with dumb propaganda won’t change historical facts.

Putin has become a rambler! Other nations have weapons, too! The US doesn’t display her weapons like putrid ‘baby-man’ Putin does! He should use a nuclear weapon and watch Russia receive doses of nuclear weapons as well. As the bigger man, Putin could have ended the unnecessary war but he chose to drag it on, and by doing so he has emboldened the Ukrainians who now feel there’s nothing more to lose since Putin has already murdered thousands of their citizens; displaced millions and obliterated many parts of their country. And I used to like the ‘modafaka’, Putin!

So, you expect Putin to be the “bigger man” with all the sabre rattling coming out of NATO countries and Ukraine? The US threatened to weaken Russia militarily and economically last week. The UK keeps talking about being able to strike first with nuclear weapons daily and has been urging Ukraine to attack inside Russia lately. Zelensky keeps threatening Russia daily. Everyone keeps calling Russians “orcs” and subhuman and Russophobia is at an all time high.

But the man has remained calm and only issued stern warning to remind them what they’re dealing with - not Afghan and Iraq - should they get carried away. And that’s something a real leader ought to do.

Putin didn’t even want the war and pushed for diplomacy for 8yrs despite growing animosity towards him in Donbass and the people calling him a coward. They signed Minsk 1 agreement - Ukraine never honoured it. Signed Minsk 2 agreement - Ukraine never honoured. And that’s because NATO keeps pushing them not to and kept arming them to invade the Donbass region who want out of the country or an autonomy.

Even when Russian forces invaded Ukraine to save the Donbass region from invasion from Ukraine who were already building forces up to invade - he went in to scare them, so they could surrender and get to the negotiating table and implement the Minsk agreement. But they used that as propaganda due to a few ambushes of inexperienced Russian conscripts that were sent there because he wasn’t expecting Ukraine to put up a fight and started claiming that the Russian army is weak. But now that Russia has started using its professional army to fight properly - it’s about Putin should be the bigger man. If the whole of Ukraine had done what those in Kherson did - we won’t be here and they would’ve negotiated an agreement that would make Russian forces pull out.

If anyone is to blame for the war - it’s the US and dumb Ukrainians who allowed themselves to be used as cannon fodder. Putin acted the right way and some would even say he’s soft because he should’ve done this 8 yrs ago or put Ukraine in a meat grinder from 1.

Important message to all the kids and civilians reading this thread before I leave: in a war of attrition - artillery is the king of war. And you’re as good as your artillery.

And Russia is the king of artillery (it has been like that since the Soviet days). So, it will lose a war of attrition even against combined NATO even if nuclear weapons are excluded. Now that it has taken its gloves off a bit (it’s still holding a lot back) - it will pound Ukraine into submission with artillery and it is happening in eastern Ukraine now. Ukrainian elite forces in that region (about 60-80k of them) should collapse in the coming weeks. 70-90% of those killed thus far died from artillery fire.

By the end of the war - Russia should have taken the whole of eastern and southern Ukraine including all the Ukrainian Black Sea coast thus making Ukraine landlocked - with mostly artillery. That’s the plan from the get-go and they will achieve militarily regardless of how loud NATO chihuahua barks.

Russia has lost more army in their 2 months campaign in Ukraine than US had in their entire 20yrs in Afghanistan.

Fake news based on propaganda.

If we believe the US’ claims in Afghanistan - we should also believe Russia’s claims in Ukraine. No?

And those Navy Seal 6 killed in Afghanistan are on the internet because they couldn’t hide it and Taliban posted the footage. There’s a movie about the 15 navy seals 6 killed called “Lone Survivor” (movie isn’t accurate tho because they fought just 7-10 Taliban but movie acted like it was 100). Real footage posted by Taliban should still be on YouTube with the dead US special forces and the Taliban involved.

US claimed it lost 25k forces in Iraq without including other NATO countries, Iraqi forces that fought for them, NATO countries and US military contractors like blue water and others. But all the British and US veterans I’ve spoken to claim it should be twice or three times that number for US forces alone. Coupled with the extremely high suicide rates amongst those who returned from that war - I think between 2-10 of them commit suicide daily. You don’t commit suicide at such a high rate if the war were that easy. And they didn’t even fight a proper sophisticated army - they fought militias that were carrying AKs and RPGs, lol.

US missile technology is a generation or even 2 generations behind Russsia’s. Ditto its air defense. The US only has the edge in surface navy and airforce.

First of all Putin is taking rubbish. Every developed country has weapons that has not been seen before, even a fool should know this. It’s not only Russia. Wars bring the opportunity to try new weapons

On the other hand if I would advice Putin I would tell him to shut his bloated face mouth. His weakness has been exposed and he’s simply making Russia a laughing stock by taking about so called imaginary weapons

You’re a big dummy.

Putin is alluding to hypersonic missiles that no other country apart from Russia has (China also has a version but no as sophisticated).

Only idiots who are drunk on propaganda believe anything was exposed. Everyone with military background from US, UK, German, Austrian, Swiss, Swede and Italian veterans who understand warfare know Ukraine stands no chance. And they only had pictures to push a faux narrative because Russia wasn’t to doing too much at the beginning and people ran with that.

Now that Russia has stepped it up a bit - how many pictures of Russia losing have you seen in the past one week? But there are pictures of hundreds of dead Ukrainian soldiers everywhere and Russia keeps advancing whilst capturing tens on villages daily against Ukrainian elite forces.

MI6 just came out tonight and said Ukraine has to find a way to get into Russia if it wants to win and that’s because they need pictures for propaganda. They know it’s suicidal but with escalation - Russia would be force to be more heavy handed so as to help them in a campaign about genocide - to force a ceasefire.

Putin already won in Ukraine and Ukraine’s elite forces in the east should collapse in the next few weeks with the smacking they have been taking the last 2 weeks Russia took the gloves off a bit. The cannon fodder are in a meat grinder now.

The biggest losers are Ukraine, US and EU. Ukraine is the cannon fodder. Europe’s economy is in the toilet and it will never recover or be able to compete with the east unless they colonise Africa again. And US dollar is slowly but surely dying. Russia is going to get stronger economically and militarily and start projecting its power again. A new dawn.

40-yr old obsolete flagship for the Black Sea which Russia has never cared about. And they were planning to replace it by the end of 2023 and are already building a bigger frigate which should be commissioned next year to replace it. BTW, it was hit by a landmine.

Funny how none of you say these things when Royal Navy lost its 2 best destroyers and 2 frigates to Argentine conscripts during the Falkland wars.

The US lost a fleet of Apache helis to Iraqis using RPGs (not even sophisticated manpads) - it was so bad that Apaches were dropping out of the sky daily that the US had to ground all its Apaches for a long time.

BTW, in Afghanistan the US lost 31 elite Navy Seal 6 special forces and 2 chinook helis in one night against Taliban and RPGs. And in another incident in the same country - the US lost 15 elite Navy Seal 6 special forces, with one survivor and a chinook - fighting against 7-10 Taliban with RPGs.

I could go on.

Funny how no one talks about these things when it comes to NATO but people expect Russia to be perfect. It’s military and war - no country is invincible. Imperial Japanese army was defeated in the Pacific by militias at its height when everyone was scared of its Navy.

In the last 24 hrs, I've seen more than 200 bodies of Ukr soldiers that have been destroyed by Russia on telegram - with multiple defence layers completely anihilated by artillery. And SSO has been picking them apart at night in ambushes with kills like target practice.

Since the first 2wks of the war when Russia was on honeymoon and thought Ukraine would surrender rather than engage in a war that will destroy their country - I don't think Ukraine has achieved any multiple kills. And since Russia has changed its tactics - it has been a complete meat grinder.

I don't know how you outnumber those you're fighting by 3:1 yet can't make any offensive. But to propagandists, you're having success. The Ukrainian army is going to collapse in the coming weeks because you can't attain anything in a war of attrition without going on the offensive.

A broken US/western hegemony would put everyone on equal footing and brown/black people that have been systematically destroyed by the west would be able to make the normal progression by doing business without interference. And people ought to be lauding Russia for the sacrifices it’s making.

Most of these idiots don’t even know that NATO was created by the Nazis American assimilated after WW2 and the first NATO Secretary General was a Nazi general. Even the current head of NATO has Nazi lineage ditto the German chancellor and head of EU. Also a lot of the brain behind US foreign policy from Kissinger, to Albright, to Zbigniew Brzerinski have Nazi lineage. Add the Bush family who made money from doing business with Hitler to it. The US and Zionists running Israel have basically been using Nazi playbook since the end of WW2 hence both countries are killing machines against non-white people.

The problem with these idiots is that they don’t read - they just slurp dumb propaganda that has kept their people perpetually poor and disenfranchised and regurgitate the same nonsense brazenly.

For any country to satisfy their needs, they don't depend on one country to satisfy their needs, they buy from multiple suppliers.

Do we sell our oil to just one country?

Do we sell out gas to just Europe?

With Russia selling gas to the EU, why is the EU still buying 50% of Nigerian gas? Shouldn't they be ok with just Russian gas?

See, you scored your own goal with your illogical and not well-thought-out argument.

lol @ Nigerian the largest producer and exporter of gas in Africa, 9th largest reserve in the world and the 12 largest gas producer in the world is not relevant,?

Did the EU rant to Nigeria to beg for gas because Nigeria is not relevant?

Now you are sounding like a comedian.

And the rest of your post is the same fluff.


Let me break it down for you since it seems you failed maths in school

Nigeria has 2% of global natural gas reserve while Russia has 25%.

Nigeria currently export 50% of its natural gas to Europe and that makes up less than 10% (about 5%) of European natural gas import. While Russia supplies 41% of European natural gas. So even if Nigeria were to break the contract it signed with other countries outside Europe & send all its natural gas export to Europe - it will still be small fraction of what they get from Russia.

How is that too tedious for you to grasp? All the nonsense about rank in Africa is irrelevant.

lol... EU ran to Nigeria to beg for Gas supplies.

Nigeria is the largest producer and exporter of LNG in Africa and is about to dominate even further with our 7th LNG train.

Do you think the EU is stupid for going to Nigeria because they don't know what we have in the ground or our capacity to sell more to the EU?


Sure, Nigeria can not satisfy EU's total gas needs, but is it not obvious that the EU is sourcing gas from all over the world?

Do we sell our crude to just one customer? I don't get your point.


It is not by force to always hate Nigeria because half of your post is just fluff.

Sourcing doesn’t mean it can replace. You can’t give what you don’t have. EU also went to Qatar and Qatar which produces more natural gas than Nigeria told them it can’t replace Russia and that it can only replace a fraction of what they get from Russia.

Russia owns 25% of global natural gas reserve while Iran owns 17% and Qatar owns 12%. Only Iran and Qatar coming together can replace Russia. And Iran is out of the equation. Also, with Qatar’s fraction, it won’t be that cheap and they’d have to pay almost twice what they’re paying for Russian gas. So, it’s common sense to buy from the cheapest option without the unnecessary overhead - especially for a region that’s almost bankrupt and needs to remain competitive with the emerging powerhouses in Asia. Past glory won’t cut it.

That said, Nigeria is not that relevant in the scheme of things globally when it comes to oil/gas and it’s not a big player. Small countries like Qatar, UAE and Venezuela are more relevant than Nigeria. So, perhaps, people need to stop overstating Nigeria’s relevance and start talking about other things Nigeria can focus on.

Saying the obvious doesn’t mean I hate Nigeria - it’s just the truth. Excessive reliance on insufficient oil wealth is the reason why Nigeria has remained poor with lazy and inept leaders who can’t think beyond oil/gas. The only thing keeping Nigeria afloat is remittance from the millions of Nigeria in diaspora - without that, Nigeria would be bankrupt.

EU do not have a choice

Russia gas is the cheapest for Europe.

Is either Russia gas or people go on the street when Winter starts knocking in Europe. Gas will be so expensive in Europe if they insist on boycotting Russia gas. Good news for ruble

Most sensible people in Europe know that there’s no alternative to cheap Russia gas. The only alternative is bankruptcy and de-industrialisation. Europe is already lagging behind the emerging powerhouses in the east (Asia) and they need cheap Russian gas to remain competitive.

A lot of European leaders are just American globalist slaves/puppet and it isn’t shocking because those who run things have Nazi backgrounds like their American counterparts.

Smart Europeans know Russia can’t lose the war in Ukraine and you can’t win an economic war of sanctions against a resource rich country since the economy is backed by resources. And now that Russia has taken its gloves over and has started turning the cannon fodder in Ukraine into meat grinder - Europe has started coming back to its senses. America is still importing Russia oil/gas while trying to resell it to Europe at a more expensive price for profit. grin Americans are nuts!

Anyway, once Russia finish crushing Ukraine - if things don’t escalate because I expect the US to escalate things (probably between June/July) - keep an eye on Francophone African countries. Especially Mali, CAR and Burkina Faso. The proxy war is going to shift there and this might be the chance for those countries to finally break free from French colonisation.

Nigeria has the Reserves to fill it and Ghana also has natural gas

grin grin

Where will Nigeria and Ghana get the natural gas to replace Russia?

Nigeria currently export almost 50% of its natural gas to Europe and it’s not even up to 10% of European gas import.

Some you just overvalue Nigeria’s oil and gas reserves/resources. Nigeria doesn’t really have much compared to the big players like Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Qatar and UAE. Russia alone owns 25% of global gas reserve. Nigeria can’t replace Russia. And Ghana is irrelevant when it comes to fossil fuel.

This is the reason why smart people know Nigeria is a poor country due to its excessive reliance on oil and gas and overvalued sense of importance when it comes to fossil fuel. It doesn’t even make $60 billion annually from oil and gas export (80% of that money gets stolen by kleptocrats). But countries like Russia and Iran are making over $300billion and over $200billion annually from oil/gas export alone despite sanctions. And they don’t have Nigeria’s huge population.

Let me add that the claim of Nigeria being oil/gas rich is overstated in context of the huge population and oil/gas reserves. The only thing keeping Nigeria afloat is remittance from Nigerian diaspora. Nigeria is basically the African version of Pakistan.

Realist12:
It's funny how the west are avoiding a war on their home ground, but are encouraging Zelenski and supporting him to destroy his home. We all have to know our real enemies.

I have said repeatedly that NATO is scared of Russia. The reason why they're using Ukraine against Russia is because most Ukrainians genetically are also Russians and they share the same fighting spirit. And this is basically a campaign, to try to weaken Russia militarily whilst using propaganda war to smear Russian military and claim it's weak. They set tasks the Russians never set (like claim Russia said it will take over Ukraine in 3 days) then claim Russians are losing and post all kinds of propaganda fraud videoes all over social media.

However, Russians are the grandmasters of chess and they're always 2 steps ahead. Hence they're not that committed to full blown war against Ukraine. Also, where NATO shot itself in the foot is that: Russians are gaining valuable experience from this military operation that no other country can gain without being in the same position and Russian forces are adapting military tactics whilst they're also becoming war hardened. You don't learn that by fighting farmers with rusty AK47 and RPGs that don't shoot back in Iraq and Afghanistan - you learn by fighting professional conventional forces that can shoot back. And that's something that will come handy if and when NATO forces engage Russians.

Let me also take you down memory lane to the greatest military units ever - it was the Soviet army units led by Field Marshal Zhukov (arguably the greatest military general ever) that fought in Stalingrad and that later conquered Berlin and hoisted the Soviet flag there during Operation August Storm in WW2. Zhukov had previously led the Soviet army in the counteroffensive that defeated the Imperial Japanese army on the eve of WW2 in 1939 in Manchurian. And the valuable lessons he and his units learnt from there - was very instrumental in Operation August Storm which decided WW2 and led to the defeat of Nazi Germany and Hitler. Operation August Storm is arguably one of the greatest military camapaigns ever. This looks like history is repeating itself.

As for Ukrainians: the CIA has been in the western part of that country since 1945 and they have been grooming for this day, for a long time. Hence a lot of sensible American diplomats, academics and military generals have been warning the dark forces in the US since the 1950s to leave Ukraine alone. Too bad Ukrainians decided to become cannon fodders for overzealous American globalists and they allowed their country to be used as a battlefield. The country will never recover from this war - especially with the billions of aids western countries are pumping in because they have to pay back those billions one way or the other when the smoke clears. Especially if western countries don't achieve their objectives.

Gonzalo got himself killed.

He should've moved to a safe haven controlled by DPR in Donbas when he left Kyiv.

I don't know why he went to Kharkov despite everything that has been reported about Ukraine targeting everyone who's against the war.

Not smart on his part and he's collateral damage.

I'll miss his Tweets.

US and NATO vs Iraqi cities.

Fallujah (2nd Fallujah war): almost 20,000 US and NATO forces vs 3,000 Iraqi militias - it took US and NATO forces 2 months to capture the city.

Mosul: almost 40,000 US, NATO and Iraqi kurds vs 5,000 ISIS forces - it took US, NATO and Iraqi kurds 9 months to capture the city.

But somehow idiots expect Russia to capture Ukraine within a week despite being outnumbered by 3:1 and everything else is a failure. grin

To Pro-Putin looooonatics, any news that doesn't fit their chosen narrative is propaganda.

A war that wasn't meant to last more than a week is taking months.
Yet in the middle of it Russia have adjusted their objectives from removing Zelenskyy, de-militarizing Ukraine and de-nazifying the country to 'liberating' the Donbass region.

Even the latest objective is taking forever to commence... grin They are still recovering from the nightmare of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol.

If NATO were not helping Ukraine in the resistance, why did Russia have to wail hard in an official letter/memo to the US begging them to stop arming Ukraine as it is hindering peace talks

Less than 2 weeks ago, Russia's foreign minister admitted that Russia has suffered huge losses in Ukraine. Pro-Putin looooonatics will never hear that one.

What of the 8 generals and other top Russian officers - close to 20 of them that have lost their lives That one is propaganda too

Have you observed that Russia has almost given up on ground battles with Ukraine Even taking out the brave Ukrainian forces still standing in Mariupol is such a nightmare for them that they are trying to use aerial power.

Who takes a place from the skies grin

Ukraine being on the defensive may not be able to use fighter jets OFTEN. But they have carried out a couple of cross border attacks successfully... cool

Pro-Putin looooonatics are worse than Putin himself... angry

Who the Bleep are you calling a lunatic? You’re an accursed brain-dead slowpoke. That’s the reason why I don’t engage you warped illiterates that populate this forum - it’s always ad hominem, rather than post your idiocy. And it’s because most of you have no argument and extremely low IQ, apart from spouting nonsense propaganda.

You’re an idiot if you think an invasion of a country Ukraine’s size would last a week. NATO has been attacking countries countries that are a fraction of Ukraine’s size and fighting militias for decades now - which of the invasions lasted a week? This assertion is actually damning on idiots like you who parrot this nonsense because you have to think Russia is invincible and superior to NATO - to expect to run over a country like Ukraine within a week. Something NATO has NEVER achieved in its history against tiny 3rd world countries with no military.

LMAOOO at 8 Rus generals losing their lives when in the past 2wks - 4 of them have been in videos in Donbas. cheesy I guess Russian generals have 9 lives since they rise up every time they die, lol. These idiots just claim kills with no proofs whatsoever. But we do know a NATO US general from CENTCOM has been captured.

Give up on ground battles? cheesy You’re a shithead. Too bad your propaganda sources aren’t updating you on how Russia is crushing Ukrainian in the Donbas region while building squadrons to encircle them with. And about 9 brigades of Ukraine’s elite forces would soon be in a siege in Donbas (that’s almost 60k troops). Yes, your propaganda sources won’t tell you about the absolute beating Ukraine is taking because it doesn’t fit the propaganda narrative.

Tell US and NATO to intervene and get smashed to bits as well.

Anyway, fu.Kk your life - I’m done engaging dirty illiterate and primitive fuckers who can’t stay civil. Fucking warped/sad cunt.

…………..,……………….
Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers just surrendered in Donbas:

Bu bu but Russia has given on ground attack according to the dirty cunt with no brain, lol. Fools with no grasp of military apart from parroting propaganda.

……………..

One of the “Killed” Russian generals, Magomed Tushayev, walking around in Donbas a few days ago:

But according to US propaganda machine, the same guy was killed in Kyiv in February, lol.

Rubbish!

The only option Russia has left is nukes.

Russia is now wary of ground battles with Ukraine as result of the huge losses they suffer.

They have done their worst.

NATO is scared of Russia Come on, NATO is even getting bolder in arming Ukraine seeing Russia's deficiencies and demystification over the past few weeks.

Very soon, they will supply Ukraine with fighter jets... grin

Huge losses? grin

NATO propaganda =/= Reality

I’m yet to see 20 Russian soldiers killed at once throughout this war. But I have seen different piles of Ukrainian bodies in the hundreds in videos many times. Heck, I saw more videos of dead American soldiers during the Iraq war than I have seen of Russian soldiers during this war. And most of the dead Russians I’ve seen are the separatists and Russian military police - not Russian regular forces.

Even Pentagon said Russia is yet to use more than 10% of its firepower (they stepped it up a few days ago by using one of their bombers). If they decide to use their real firepower - there will be no Ukraine by the end of the week.

NATO is the biggest force in the world on paper but in actual combat - it’s yet to fight any country that can shoot back and yet to win a war since NATO is American war machine. So NATO knows its limits hence it’s scared of direct confrontations against Russia. And both Pentagon and NATO commanders have repeated this several times.

In a nuclear war - Rus just need to drop EMP on all NATO countries and let its ICMBs go. It will also take nuclear hits but it’s more prepared for nuclear bombs than any country in the world. Almost all Rus houses have bunkers that can protect against nuclear Armageddon.

LMAOOO at fighter jets. Ukraine had almost 150 fighter jets before the war. What happened to those is the fate of whatever jets NATO gives Ukr.

@bolded Nonsense talk!

Russia would have levelled Ukraine at least to achieve all its initial objectives if it could.

But it can't. The heavier the hand they raise, the stronger and fiercer the reaction they will get

What reaction? cheesy

They’re just lucky Putin is lenient and still sees Ukr and Rus as brothers. If it were the Rus hardliners - they would’ve levelled Ukraine to the ground, lol.

Even Putin’s advisers are begging him to escalate.

And no one is going to do shit - NATO is scared of Rus. China is their main target.

Eriokanmi:
If I remember well, we were comparing an apple with an apple in my precious post. Russia can't face Germany and not regret it, let alone face America. Did you know why America left Afghanistan, restored and supported taliban rule after their long stay to restore peace in that country? It's laughable when you misconstrued this move with defeat....really laughable. If the taliban led-govt falters in their promise of change, American forces will return. So far, they're behaving well.

On the Ukrainian joint forces from NATO as you wrongly posited, NATO never sent a single soldier to fight in Ukraine, go and do your research again and i dont know where you're getting this false information from. How does supporting Ukraine with weapons by NATO equate sending military to Ukraine?NATO only sent troops to Eastern European Countries to secure their borders against Russian possible invasion, learning from Ukraine attack. Only a few countries have even agreed to support with weapon among nato countries so far. All those joining Ukraine to fight Russia were mercenaries( those independent and professional fighters who fight for a living and volunteers)

Are you aware there are pro-russian Ukrainians and separatists too, who are joining forces with Russia to fight Ukraine? I wonder why you skipped this in your post. Their leader had even been captured by Ukraine as we speak, same way Russia captured a british mercenary( not a British force...there's a difference between the two) last week. So, you can't say all the formation of Russian fighers are only Russian army without the fusion or support of the separatists and Belarusian army. They're both using mercenaries to fight ( i mean Ukraine and Russia) . If all you said about Russian military might was the truth, why was putin advocating for fighters and volunteers from friendly nations?

If what you're saying is correct about Russian army, why have they lost so much of their soldiers? This isn't propaganda but confirmed information by russians themselves, including their topmost generals who died in the ongoing offensive.

Russia has been so much rated before this war by lots of people, including myself. So far with what I've seen, all I can say is, I'm so disappointed. They've lost much more heavy weapons and men ( as displayed openly in the media) than any other. The recent warship was a clear proof of their weakness, even though they refused to admit it was caused by Ukrainian missile.

You’re a funny guy who lacks rudimentary knowledge of military tactics, and warfare. Typical armchair guy spouting baseless propaganda.

Germany in 2022 has no proper military and even Ukraine would run over Germany without breaking a sweat. Germany hasn’t done anything militarily since the end of WW2 when it was disarmed. Russia defeated Nazi Germany, the greatest military ever, alone. And it will destroy current Germany without breaking a sweat.

Stop lying - America never supported Taliban after it invaded the country. It left a puppet pro-American president there with billions of dollars worth of weapons and the same government got overthrown within 24hrs hence America placed on embargo of Taliban. The US lost the Afghan war miserably and got chased out of there by farmers.

There are NATO special forces and intelligence agencies all over Ukraine fighting. A lot of them have been killed and some of them have been captured. You think Boris Johnson would visit Kyiv without British forces on the ground? grin Mariupol is flowing with NATO forces and an American general was captured there. A lot of the captured would soon be shown after the war.

I doubt Russia has lost more than 5k troops. But when you add the separatists - the number won’t be more than 7k. And most of the losses happened during the first 2wks when they stretched their line of defence despite not sending enough troops for a country as big as Ukraine. Most of those killed were killed in ambushes by special forces of Ukr and NATO countries. However, they have adjusted since then and aren’t taking any significant losses. Ukraine on the other hand has lost almost 30k troops - almost 5k In Mariupol alone and about 5k POWs.

80% of the kills during the war has been with artillery fire and 10% from air bombardment. Two areas where Russians are smashing Ukrainians to bits. All the other nonsense is propaganda trash.

The US lost almost 60k troops (official US figures but real figures should be at least 3x that number) in Vietnam fighting militias despite using all chemical weapons in the world. Lost almost 30k troops in Iraq (official US figure but most US Iraq veteran claim the number should be 4x that official figure) fighting against farmers and militias. If it had been US vs Ukr with Russia helping Ukr with intelligence, endless weapons and special forces - they would’ve killed more than half of US troops.
