Mrtaye:What should be legitimate? The referendum? ![]() |
MasterKernel:Not really bro. The two Separatist groups alone stand no chance against such an overwhelming Ukrainian forces of 600,000 standing army. Hence, the Russian limited intervention. The whole of Luhansk region was taking by Russian regular forces supported by Donbass militias. Zaporzizhia was taken by Regular Russian forces dressed like hunters hunting bear in the snow. You can go back and watch the footage when they stormed the nuclear plant earlier on. ![]() Kherson was the first city to fall to the Russian regular army. Donestsk city and some accompanying towns (not the whole region yet, which is still a work in progress) is under the control of the Donetsk People's Republic milita supported by Russian forces from all directions. This is why Russia need additional troops to support the ones on ground because when you look at the map of the territories they hold currently, you will see that they are so stretched thin that without additional troops, they can't dig in deep defensively. Heck, they even stationed military police to guard Izyum because they're critically short of manpower. Hence, the rapid success of the tactical push by the Ukie forces in that direction lately. No, they didn't lose everything they gained for the past five months. Calm down with the exaggeration. They only lost 6000 square kilometers of land, with Izyum being the most strategically important one. They still hold 136,000 square kilometers of territory, and that includes the four regions that would be holding referendum to join Moscow tomorrow. That's not a small achievement with less than 300,000 men. We are talking of a territory that is as big as Bulgaria and Belgium combined.Lastly, Crimea is not under the control of separatists. It is a full fledged Russian territory with their own provincial governing authority. You can research it. |
alcuin:Facts. |
coke75:Really? So you don't know about the law that forbids Ukrainian men of fighting age from leaving the country? They even asked governments of nations where Ukrainians are refugees to deport Ukrainians who are 18 years and above. |
Meanwhile in other news, Russia is already creating new markets for their products while factories are closing down in Germany and cost of living going through the roof across the collective west that is now marred with protests and changes in government. ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0DQ1ofRUmY When you're big, you are big. ![]() |
shogsman:I don't even know what term to use for this absurd calculus and definition of success and failures they have invented. Some parents should have a refund of the money they spent on schooling kids of this disgraceful intellect. I'm ashamed. |
Ishitinyourlife:They don't know the definition between failure and achievements. In their books, achievements is when you retake 6000 sq kilometers of a defenseless land with huge losses and lose 136,000 sq kilometers of land to the enemy. Now you can see why the west believed that Africans are living on expired education. |
shogsman:Oh, damn... so quick. I have to console the kids here that it would take another 2 months to get them ready since Russian forces from elsewhere are also being prepared to fill in the stretched lines on the frontlines. Now, you just made them to cry more. ![]() |
shogsman:Honestly, it's a waste or time trying to debate realistically and logically with folks who have chosen to do life in western prison of misinformation and zombification. |
joyandfaith:No, don't mind the Russian bots like Appleyard and Shogsman. ![]() Ukraine is winning by taking 6000 sq kilometers of land with more than 400,000 standing army while Russia is losing by holding 136,000 sq kilometers of territory with less than 200,000 troops. The Russian losses are so evident that they are planning to hold referendums in 4 huge regions tomorrow and the partial mobilisation are not for combat experienced personnels but for women, disabled and inexperienced citizens like Zelensky's great army. How alluring to live in a reversed engineered moment of joyandfaith. ![]() |
shogsman:It's pathetic how they're so frantically grasping at straws. You can tell even from a mile that the Putin's masterstroke move hit some nerves and changes the focus. Now, Zelensky is talking about negotiations with Russia but based on static demands only. What a time to be alive. ![]() |
RichProminent:Why are you so insecured? It shows in your rant. ![]() Lmao. I don't even watch nor read Tass or Sputnik. There are more than 101 balanced news outlets that are neither pro east or west. I can help you with links if you want. ![]() A handful of people who disagree now equate 142 million Russians? How alluring. ![]() Just a simple partial mobilisation and your slave masters with your enslaved mentality are already shitting in their pants. Take a chill pill, gringo. It will take another 2 months to position those troops. The only bad news is that Russian Arctic forces and regional troops are being prepared to fill in the gap awaiting the deployment of the mobilize troops. ![]() You have nothing to worry Mr. ![]() |
RepoMan007:Why don't you provide one since you're the one asserting? You expect me to prove your case for you? Nah! ![]() |
RichProminent:You just described yourself.. Because western nations did not protest due to mobilisation but for unbearable economic effects of their leaders self-inflicted ordeal. Your brain is in deed rich and prominent in thinking backward. |
bdon123:Okay. |
It's common everywhere. People flee or protest when situations like this erupt. Many Americans protested and refused to be drafted to Vietnam. Thousands of Ukrainian youths have refused to return to the country for fear or being drafted into the war. Average people will do everything to avoid war. |
bdon123:How did you know all flights to all countries without Visas are overbooked? The western mainstream media told you that? |
texazzpete:You're disappointing me, dear. ![]() Fact: Russia barely lose a war when they mobilize. You're just repeating the gibberish of what you saw on the Lamestream media. Every Dick and Harry knows Russia was fighting the whole of NATO in Ukraine. Russia's regular army in Ukraine is just 150,000. The rest are Donbass militias and Wagner fighting contractors which are not even up to 200k combined, and that is why they are so stretched across the contact lines like we saw in Kharkov recently. Yet, with such small force, Russia has carved out 30% of Ukraine, and you are here talking about a meat grinder? Just imagine what an additional 300,000 soldiers would do to Ukraine who has been sending cannon fodders into the Russian meat grinders. Are you actually trying to compare losses in this SMO? Ukraine have mobilised 5 times and they keep losing hundreds of soldiers everyday. Oh, I see you are one of those misguided by the recent Ukrainian success in the Kharkov region, which the western media has amplified beyond the reality of what is on ground. Interesting. The Ukrainians took back about 6000 sq kilometers of land that was obviously undermanned and you're so hopeful compared to the 166,000 sq kilometers currently held by Russia with such meager force? Quit dreaming, friend. With this mobilisation, it's game over for Ukraine whose so-called offensive has already stalled by the way. |
WhatCanIsay:No, I'm your worst nightmare in disseminating the truth. ![]() |
shogsman:I thought as much. |
shogsman:That is exactly what I was saying earlier. The Russian tank storage alone will take hundreds of kilometers when they line up, and these are just the numbers known to western intelligence sources. It's a pity that Ukraine allowed itself to be goaded into this fruitless battle. |
leofab:What firm foothold? Can you explain? The US has been active in the MiddleEast decades before you were born and before the invasion of Afghanistan. So, how does the war changed that in any form for the US geopolitical stance and foreign policy vis-a-vis the MiddleEast? Honey, please teach me. ![]() |
shogsman:At the bolded, spare the lady, she is just a girl. ![]() |
leofab:In business people sell at discounted prices, and if Russ decide to sell to their allies at a discount, what's your business? You're crying more than the bereaved EU baby. ![]() Allies support and sell things to each other all the time, including weapons in peace and war time, and for different reasons. There was a time when Russia wanted to buy helicopter carrier ships from France, not that they can't produce it themselves, but the ship building yards in Russia are already saturated with projects of other nature. US buys weapons from others also. See below.
|
leofab:Get near one of those inflated balloons and let us see whether the 'leo' would still remain intact in the 'fab' that makes up your moniker. ![]() |
joyandfaith:Go and research about CAATSA. it was a bill created specifically targeting weapons sales from Russia because the proliferation of such weapons pose a great geoplolitcal threat to US gunboat diplomacy globally. |
blackboy:So because Russia is powerful it shouldn't look out for it's own interest and security especially against an adversely (NATO) that has repeatedly made known it's hatred for her? You're not making sense. If we are to go by your logic, which I think is warped, why is USA threatening the government of the Solomon Island against allowing China to have a permanent military base there? Isn't the US not the world so-called sole superpower? Why then is she wary of China? This is called being pragmatic and preemptive in securing one's sphere of influence and strategic advantage. The USSR made the mistake of trusting the enemy and despite having a "none aggression pact" with Germany, the Nazis still invaded surprisingly and we know how that cost the Soviet people, the ripples of which is still being felt today. Russia will NEVER make that mistake again...allowing NATO to encamp her and pack missiles at its doorsteps is, as Putin rightly puts it, a treasonable offence that generations of Russians to come would never forgive them for. And Ukraine is the last straw on that REDLINE. |
Discombulator:Even Ukrainian forces confessed that Russia was firing like 12k rounds of artillery shells every 10-15 minutes as such that it looks like it was raining hell from heaven, forcing them to stay in their trenches for days. Yet, the Lamestream media decieved many of our brothers here that Russia has run out of missiles and firepower. Like you said, so many people here are misinformed.
|
shogsman:This list is not even close to what Russia have in store. You only just scratch the surface. But it's still a big deal. They rolled out their old Soviet stuff against Ukraine because that is what much of what Ukraine has consist also, and people start hollering Russia has nothing. Like you said, anyone that actually expect Ukraine to win against Russia has been propagandize beyond redemption. From the onset, Ukraine never stood a chance. |
Even the shameless EU have to lift sanctions to get Russian fertilizers without which they will go hungry. People simply underrate Russia just because they don't use smartphones and fine cars made in Russia. |
Andres28:Nuclear power plants Bro, it's game over for Ukraine once the referendum holds and the result says yes to join Russia. Even the west understand this. |
