Trump was trying to pick at Russia, definitely.

Thats why he was harangueing Nato countries to take their responsibilities seriously, increase their military spending (and who were those guns to be aimed at?), dump the Russian gas pipelines, and thats why the Poles, say, liked him so much. AND he started shipping arms to Ukaine, and tried to get others to do so too.

Trump was the biggest threat to Putin and Russia since Ronald Reagan.

Biden waived the US hold on Nordstream 2 in May 2021. That was a disastrous move that, everything else considered, including all that telegraphing US weakness, gave that #$%& the idea that he could do as he liked without consequences.

Because I am not an “influencer”. And I despise the US government as currently constituted. If you fellows manage to xxxx the lot of them I would cheer all day. The “xxxx” is to keep FR out of trouble.

Well, not you Russian trolls. Professionalism and the banality of evil, yes I get it.

I am an old man with insomnia, who had a nice dry sherry when I shouldn’t have.

Absent nukes, Russia doesn’t have anywhere near the ability to turn the lights out in the entire country.

Zelensky gives update:

A total blackout in the Kharkiv & Donetsk regions, a partial one in the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk & Sumy regions. RF terrorists remain terrorists & attack critical infrastructure. No military facilities, the goal is to deprive people of light & heat. #RussiaIsATerroristState— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) September 11, 2022

If they attacked Kiev with Grozny vigor this would be over

Russia is fighting a limited war

It’s costly

The total war concept is possibly a risk they can’t take

Reducing Kiev like we did Baghdad is I think politically infeasible

I could be wrong

*we bombed Baghdad alone over 1000 sorties per day for 20 days in 2003
More in 1991

Power and water has stayed on mostly in Kiev even when a Russian convoy was parked 20 miles outside Kiev beginning of war

Life must be pure hell in Ukraine right now. How many million Ukrainians have fled the country so far?

Russia is playing the game of death by thousand cuts.
Life in Ukraine right now is worse than in Venezuela. At least the apartment buildings in Venezuela are all standing and livable.

War is horrible, which is why there is a special place in hell for people like Putin who start one for their own ego.

This guy is one of my daily listen to people he’s just speaking the truth how did you know by being on this forum if you’re seeking the truth people accuse you of being pro Putin calls the west basically just lies over and over and over so you never know what’s really going on if you only watch western propaganda so I’ve tried to dig and dig and dig and I have found this guy to be 70% solid so here he is I’m sure a lot of people who know him already

Only the winners get to define and prosecute war crimes.

It’s far, far more likely Ukrainians will be tried in Russia.


8000 square km of occupied Ukraine has been derussified in the past few days. Thousands of Russians dead for nothing. All gone. Russian occupiers are being smashed to pieces in Ukraine with NATO weapons. It’s time to let go and stop dreaming of another Holodomor. It’s not happening. Sorry.

There’s really not much Russia can nuke in Ukraine other than population centers. Kyiv? Dnipro? Lviv? Nuking Ukraine will just make Putin and Russia radioactive. Energy embargo, etc. Russia will swifty collapse and it will be the end of his regime.

Pay no attention to this Putinist doggerel, the facts as of now:

Russian soldiers expelled from the northeast of Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers filmed at the Russian border.

Rapid Ukrainian advances in the southeast. Russians abandoning positions near Mariupol and Kherson. Ukrainian soldiers filmed inside captured whole warehouses filled to the top with ammunition. Continuing to capture abandoned Russian armored vehicles.

Russians mostly without leadership as the command fled early.

Russians cut off in most of Kherson with all bridges down; disastrous in military planning.
