This oligarchy thing that is being bandied as a Russian thing is so wrong.

The Russian business men and billionaires have barely little to no say in the control of govt. If anything, those guys are in the firm grip of FSB and FSB controls them mostly.

The country where oligarchy exists is the USA , because it is the business men and billionaires there that control the govt and decide on what policies they should pass. They disguise it as lobbying grin

In summary, Contrary to what the western media tells you, the west is being control by powerful oligarchs, but Russia is not.
You just educated a lot of misinformed people here. Kudos.

I believe the country that poses more threats to the US is Russia, militarily. China on the other hand pose more threat to the US economically. Russia is the only anti-west country in the world that can challenge the US and without fear, openly send military support to any country invaded by US or a country with which the US is fighting a proxy. China, India, Iran, North Korea don't have the balls to challenge USA that was why the US had to trap Russia down first. China should get prepared as the US is planning to make it a pariah and Taiwan will be another Ukraine.
This is the first time you said something both reasonable and factually verifiable. Kudos. cool

Zelensky is doing the work of Biden, sacrificing his citizens for a total unnecessary war and as usual Europe foolishly joins the Americans even at the detriment of their economies.
Like you said the only option now for Zelensky is to negotiate. If not things would get worse for him and his country, that's if he even cares about Ukraine.
The man has serious mental and comprehension issues. It's pathetic how he was so willing to use his country as a battle ground for great powers to test their abilities.

Do you want to see how bleeped up western air defense is? See the video below
https://t. me/Slavyangrad/14000
It's true. Today, Ukraine's anti air missiles are now falling to the ground in droves. Some experts suspect the Russians might have adopted some form of electronic warfare system, which I really cannot corroborate. Ukraine rapidly need to come up with something tangible or they're doom to these long range strikes. The call for different anti air missile launchers from the west would only make matter worse.

Having a different mix of anti air defense system is absolute disaster. Each system comes with their own components, and to get them to work without interfering with one another is a nightmare, not to mention the logistics of the different ammunitions.

grin Zelensky has been quiet since the recent bombardment of Ukraine. I pity Ukraine.

The war just started, winter is coming, very soon Europe would abandon Ukraine and focus on the growing dissent in their various countries.
Massive protest is now rocking Europe, but the media is doing their best not to show it to people.

With winter, which is just a month away, things will really get awry for Ukraine. How I which the man can just negotiate and forget about this crisis.

Uprightness100:
North Korea has officially enshrined the right to use preemptive nuclear strikes to protect itself in a new law that leader Kim Jong Un said makes its nuclear status “irreversible” and bars denuclearisation talks, state media reported on Friday (9 September).

The move comes as observers say North Korea appears to be preparing to resume nuclear testing for the first time since 2017, after historic summits with then-US President Donald Trump and other world leaders in 2018 failed to persuade Kim to abandon his weapons development.
The North’s rubber-stamp parliament, the Supreme People’s Assembly, passed the legislation on Thursday as a replacement to a 2013 law that first outlined the country’s nuclear status, according to state news agency KCNA.

Everything is shaping in line with prophecy. The world is budding to experience a third birth pang.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy announced that Russia had wiped out a third of the country's electricity production facilities within two days.

The attack on the Crimea bridge is already costing Ukraine a lot, and it serves as a pretext for the Russians to wipe out the infrastructure there.
That was the reason they brought in Sukovin, the General named the Butcher of Aleppo. That man is a specialists in destroying Infrastructure. Well, Ukraine asked for it. But honestly, I don't think it was Zelensky that ordered the hit in the Crimea bridge, I think it was NATO command officers who wants to test Russia's line of patience and response. This guys are just using Ukraine to gauge Russia's capabilities. It's a pity that Zelensky played along. But prophecy must be fulfilled...like Alois Irlmaier said, "the third world war would start from an unlikely source".

I'm beginning to look at Ukraine with bated breath. Except that Ukraine isn't in the Balkans.

So Russia cannot defeat Ukraine alone .
Ukrainian army has already been defeated long ago. What you're seeing now is NATO regulars in the command chain and many of their troops on ground camouflaged as mercenaries. Meanwhile, Ukraine is supported by more than 70 military satellites and 200 civilian satellites like some of the Starlink satellites Russia just disabled. Every sane thinking person knew that Russia is fighting NATO in Ukraine. There is a reason why the Russians have been taking this methodical so far.

All these fools. So the Ukrainian attack on crimean bridge is not an attack on civilians. Honestly I feel sorry for Putin. The guy truly loves the Ukrainians and perhaps that's his main weakness. Even though he knew how important it was to defeat ukraine he wanted to do it with the least possible casualty and in doing that, endangered his own people. I believe he would have been deposed by the more hawkish Russian elite if he hadn't stepped up the campaign like this.
Putin's mother is Ukrainian.

what?

do you have proof of what you are saying?

Russia and China not only supplied weapons and fighters to Vietnam, but they also trained the Vietcong and the US had more nukes that Russia and china combined at that point so if they wanted to nuke Vietnam, there was nothing Russia or china could have done
Are you aware that the US did used chemical bombs in Vietnam?

Hiroshima would be a grenade compare to what would be used from all sides.
How many people would be able to get to bunkers in time with modern hypersonic missiles.
The world should just pray all Dem craziness and threats doesn't lead to actual used of those weapons coz it would be one for the ages
Exactly.

Russia can't use all these big missiles (strategic missiles) against Ukraine. They will likely use tactical missile equipped with nuclear warheads e.g Iskander-M ballistic missile, Kalibr cruise missiles, Oniks e.t.c
That's exactly what I mean. Deploying those missiles means they could possibly target locations beyond the war theatre. It's getting crazier.

The U.S. and its allies (NATO) will destroy all Russian troops and equipment on the territory of Ukraine, and will sink the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation if Russia uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Dude I am done with the topic. You've made your admission.

When anybody kills thousands of American civilians over 8 years, you can say it is not genocide. That's your own prerogative. But if you kill ethnic Russians over 8 years through continuous shelling, that qualifies as genocide to the Russians.

That is their point. That is my point.

400K civilians died in Iraq. 2 million civilians died in Vietnam. But the US does not target civilians. How do you mistakenly kill 400,000 and 2,000,000 unarmed people in two separate conflicts?

-Lord
The west never kills civilians...only the damn Russians do. cool courtesy of the Lamestream media. cool

The only silver-lining here, If Zelensky gets his wishes, is that Eastern Europe will become the new Middle east, with Ukraine being the epicenter.

At least Arab people will for once rest from incensant wars when US and its European allies shift away attention from them

Are you minding that guy.

Russia is literarily copying NATO's style of Annexation in Yugoslavia (Now Serbia) for the creation of Kosovo.

What people don't know is that Russia copied NATO style word for word. grin

Let me list the similarities between NATO's Yugoslavia campaign and Russia's Ukraine Campaign

Firstly, NATO accused Yugoslavia of ethnic cleansing and crimes against some ethinc minorites in part of Yugoslavia, the part that now became Kosovo.
Russia use the same template in Ukraine by accusing Ukraine of ethnic cleansing and Shelling of ethinc Russian minorities in Eastern Ukraine (Donbass)


Secondly, NATO sent in troops for Military operation, just like Russia did in Ukraine, and both did not technically declare war on both countries.
NATO was just bombing military assets in Yugoslavia indiscriminately, destroying see Civilian assets and innocent civilians along the way, Belgrade was bombed indiscriminately, even Chinese embassy in Belgrade got bombed accidentally then, that caused serious diplomatic issues with China.
Russia did the same in the first month of the war in Ukraine, bombing Kiev and everywhere allover the country, claiming they were targeting Military assets and installation.

After the whole Iraqi style shock and awe bombing, they then sent in troops to secure the part under dispute and eventually the war shifted to the are, which is now called Kosovo, after they've bombed Yugoslavia and weakend their military to at least reduce resistance a little bit.
Russia did the same and sent in some troops, although they first tried their luck by starting with Kiev, because they thought the Ukrainian govt will flee the country, leaving a vacuum, just like what US did to Iraq where it govt collapsed immediately after they sent in troops but eventually pulled back to Donbass after a month, when that didn't happen

Lastly, after some time of fighting, NATO conducted referendum in Kosovo, with Kosovo later declaring independence. Russia has now done the same with the Donbass.

In conclusion, you can now see the similarities between the two military campaign.

NATO set that shit precedent with Yugoslavia but it won't make the news because they have the western media under their thumb.
That's serving them back with their own plate.
