incoherent, rambling mess
How dare you say so about the wisdom of Vladimir Vladimirovich?

nuclear war
You think Russia can just nuclear blackmail other nuclear powers and it can be one sided. This is very silly. It's not how it works, it's not how it ever worked.
And it's not called "nuclear war", no.
By the same token, America is extremely well prepared for the mission of SAM suppression.
I wish the Moscow problem could be settled through talks and the implementation of agreements, but regrettably, this is no longer relevant. Everything can be reversed in a second if Russian and Chinese arms industries continue to pump the current Moscow authorities with state-of-art weapons. That is why the key point is a certain degree of demilitarization of today's Russia, because it is the only objectively controlled factor, which can be monitored and reacted to. Putin would resettle to Havana, Damascus or Beijing, while we would have a heavily armed 'anti-West' next door. This is absolutely unacceptable, in particular, now, that Russia's current leadership has declared its nuclear ambitions.
You're overanalyzing it lol
Weaken? This war can only truly end with the complete demilitarization and decommunization of Russia. The 1990s were a mistake.
And yet it does now, according to you here even plunging the world into nuclear war no less (you're wrong on this one).
Also, how do you Yank accelbros feel about the Azov way when not hysterizing about your "drafts" and shit?
The Azov movement was founded in 2014 by Andriy Biletsky, former leader of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi group Patriot of Ukraine, during the battle for control of Kyiv’s central Independence Square during the Maidan Revolution against the country’s Russia-leaning, elected president Viktor Yanukovych. Back in 2010, Biletsky claimed that it would one day be Ukraine’s role to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led untermenschen“. The revolution, and the war which followed, would give him the national stage for which he had so long craved. (...)
In this, the current war has surely come as a blessed relief for Azov. Biletsky’s attempt to found a political party — the National Corps — met with almost zero success, with even a united bloc of Ukraine’s far- and extreme Right-wing parties failing to clear the very low hurdle for parliamentary representation in the last election: Ukrainian voters simply do not want what they are selling, and reject their worldview. Yet in time of war, Azov and similar groups come to the forefront, with the Russian invasion seemingly reversing the downward spiral that set in for them following Avakov’s resignation due to international pressure. Judging by their social media, Azov’s armed units are expanding: they’re forming new battalions in Kharkiv and Dnipro, a new special forces unit in Kyiv (where Biletsky is organising at least some aspects of the capital’s defence) and local defence militias in western cities such as Ivano-Frankivsk. Along with other extreme Right-wing groups such as Karpatska Sich (whose militancy against Western Ukraine’s Hungarian-speaking minority, including Roma, has drawn criticism from the Hungarian government), the Eastern Orthodox group Tradition and Order, the neo-Nazi group C14, and the extreme Right-wing militia Freikorps, the Russian invasion has allowed Azov to restore its earlier prominence, burnishing its heroic reputation with its dogged defence of Mariupol alongside regular Ukrainian marines. (...)
Senior Azov figures have been explicit, over the course of years, in stating that Ukraine has unique potential as a springboard for the “reconquest” of Europe from liberals, homosexuals and immigrants. While their broader contintental ambitions may have a very doubtful chance of success, a broken, impoverished and angry postwar Ukraine, or worse, a Ukraine suffering years of bombardment and occupation with large areas outside central government control, would surely be a fertile breeding ground for a form of extreme Right-wing militancy not seen in Europe for many decades.

(Patriot of Ukraine was a more acceptable-sounding name of the Social-National Assembly.)
One was convicted.
Poroshenko about himself in third person when he recently returned from Poland to be tried:
"We are not here to protect Poroshenko, but to unite and protect Ukraine," Poroshenko told the crowd, before heading to the Pechersk court in central Kyiv for a hearing into his case, as supporters chanted outside the building.
The trial didn't conclude for obvious reasons, and he's now heading his own private militia personally. Clearing his name I guess.
Yang Gang also known as Yang Army expected by some UN observers to begin retaliatory raids into the outskirts of Harlem from their besieged enclave as the latest bout of ethnic violence continues.
Contagious and careless / You're spreading your disease among us
She had her covid mask on. Superspreading only crabs from that bush.
Because the Russians still aren't sure the Americans (British, French) wouldn't strike back at them. Putin's motto might be, as he says, "the weak get beaten", but after showing a whole lot of weakness over all these years NATO and friends also finally do start to show some strength.
Look at what Trump did when they tested him with their mercenary army by advancing on an American base. What did he do? He smoked them. How did they react? They backed away. The strong don't get beaten.
But there won't be any "nuclear level world war". As always. Not even after Stalin estabilished his No-fly Zone over northernmost Korea, resulting only in a lot of early jet-on-jet dogfighting (and when MacArthur wanted to just nuke the northern side of the Chinese border clear with his novel No-life Zone concept, but was told he was being silly). Operation Unthinkable was named so because it couldn't happen, and thus didn't happen.
He saved his mom tho.
It was incredibly frustrating. I've seen a lot of people believe he's a Russian plant, conciously sabotaging all defense only to surrender then.
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that warnings of an imminent Russian attack on his country were stoking “panic” and demanded to see firm proof of a planned invasion.
Zelensky’s comments came a day after US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan warned that a Russian attack on its western neighbor could “begin at any time.”
Ukrainian leaders have been trying to talk down the prospects of an all-out war because of the damaging effect it was having on the country’s teetering economy and public morale.
But it was also generally the mood and belief in Ukraine all through the country that nothing will happen, and so very few were preparing in any way whatsoever. They had so much time to do so much, it's just painful.
Ukraine’s government dismissed leaks from American intelligence officials that Russia was transporting supplies of blood to its troops at the Ukrainian border to treat potential casualties of war. “The purpose of such information is to spread panic and fear in our society,” wrote the deputy defence minister, Hanna Maliar, in a Facebook post. A rhetorical and analytical rift has opened between Ukraine and America.
Just pain.
In a way it reminded me of how the Soviets ignored all the warnings about the millions of soldiers gathered at their borders in 1941. Refused to "panic" too. A long tradition that works wonders.
I remembered wrong, majority among most urban populations. Including Kiev.
Except in Lviv and such in the former Austro-Hungarian areas (Galicia).
The peasants have opposed the Russification similar to how they resisted the Collectivisation (when millions have been killed as kulaks for the latter to prevail). It was also the peasantry that was the UON/UPA recruit pool during and after WWII.
World War Z
I thought many of you guys were accelarationists. What happened to this all of sudden?
Russian speakers (meaning preferring Russian, because everyone speaks Russian) are majority in Ukraine. It was Lenin-defender minority (and the "vacationers" from Russia).
Of course it's the most right wing thing to sympathise with people who took up arms to defend Lenin statues while flying Soviet flags.
It would have been avoided if he did act on the American intelligence and warnings, instead of ignoring and even publicly 'refuting' them, by preparing his country to repel the invasion in time and not starting only 12 hours minus the Z-day.
There were people here too who were taking his 'peace in our time' naive stupid bullshit as supposed evidence this was all really just the very prolonged Zapad-2021 exercises.
No, their own.
(A chemical attack is much more likely.)
Yeah, it is Them: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WL3Jz8fDgFI
Without any sarcasm intended, it probably does make you a better person to be disturbed. Usually I hide my power levels about things like that from people as to not sound creepy, about which I'm self concious.
Speaking truth without edginess, there's a lot of relatable videos of Russian soldiers who are clearly confused or even ashamed about the situation they found themsleves in. I can't say I really hate them and it's even relatable at times, and I'll even just go and say I actually wish them
Nah. Putin's going to be deposed by his own inner circle to save themselves and what they love and cherish most: their wealth. Even historically tsars have been murdered by their own bodyguards, and Putin's now meeting even his top men at such ridicalous distances not necessarily just because he fears covid.
There won't be a No-fly Zone btw, it's just more theatrics from an a professional showman. There will be just a lot of material and other support.
