No, I want Canada out of NATO, yesterday !
And, American contract forces have been fighting over in Ukraine for two years now. So yeah, we have "boots on the ground."
Putin may have attacked in 2022 anyway even if Trump was President. He would have used his friendship with Trump as an opportunity to attack Ukraine.
He may have but unlikely. Trump would have not been whispering sweet nothing in Z’s ear that he could win.. the west wanted this conflict that’s the sick part about it all.
They actively egged Z on..
I don’t for one minute believe Trump administration would have played Z like thr fool he is to create a war.
Other way 'round. That Putin acts according to Dugin is more likely. Certainly the long paragraph on Ukraine fits that mold.
Judging by some comments coming from other Moscovite power players, they are mighty close to Dugin's "teachings". (Hence the claim that Putin is a "moderate".)
Do not fail to listen to your enemy.....
“That Putin acts according to Dugin is more likely.”
Not a chance.
Giving back Kaliningrad is absolutely a non-starter.
Dugin is an academic. Putin doesn’t “act according to him” any more than Trump acts in obedience to Patrick Deneen.
There are many and not hard to find, even for the putinstoogeruption.
IF Russia really is willing to take 1000 casualties a day as this report claims, they are not going to shy away from a WW2 scale “Displaced Persons” strategy to make sure that the remaining population isn’t an insurgency risk.Thanks for making clear the ruZZians are Nazis. The people who fled Putin's Terror Invasion are obviously not the battle hardened veterens I posted of. Any displacement of population will help cement ruZZia as a Terror State and put them in a little box.

Why would a ruler need to justify anything? Don’t his subjects instinctively obey his every command? Even in the most pitiless absolutism, a ruler had to justify actions that risked his soldiers’ lives and wreaked havoc on the welfare of his subjects. The risk was of troop mutiny and armed rebellion. So they came up with elaborate reasons, weaving in history, grievance and personal benefit. That’s where a guy like Dugin comes in.
Why invade Ukraine? Putin is at the top of the totem pole in Russia. Land grabs are a very traditional way to increase your fame. Putin could make Russia the richest country in the world, and it wouldn’t put him on the same pedestal as Peter. Plus - land grabs are easier and theoretically more achievable than the feat of catching up economically to the US. And few remember rulers who made their countries rich, whereas even a failed conqueror gets an ocean of ink.
I’m just telling it like it is.
I believe this war will be decided on the battle field. And the final ceasefire line will be decided by defensible terrain - which doesn’t change - rather than population distributions which can change.
Ukraine can avoid this rejecting NATO and going neutral.
Joining NATO doesn’t protect them. It is just a recipe for them being right on the front line of a gigantic future war.
We see the hatred against Russia on this board, including from people like you.
That mentality governs the leadership of NATO, and war with Russia is inevitable with that thinking.
‘Nothing makes sense in this conflict, nothing except the money flow. Where did it go, what was it used for, and who got it?”
It’s telling that none of the usual suspects; the UN, the EU, the OSCE, and the Vatican have come forth to call for or offer mediation, or even a ceasefire. Oddly, only the Chicoms have called for negotiations.
Even if Putin doesn't take weekly phone calls from him, Dugin's world-conquest philosophy is the milieu that has surrounded Putin 24/7/365 for his entire life. He most assuredly was subjected to the heroic films of Sergei Eisenstein, as I was in high school by our Russian history teacher, (who probably was a Communist, looking back on it 60 years later).
I’m just telling it like it is to an angry Fanatical Putin Stooge. Who is desperately spinning BS as if Putin didn’t badly screw-up his Terror Invasion from the start and is still going two years later.
That’s the way it is.
“Russia has suffered its worst Military defeats and greatest Military losses since WWII, while Putin was running the show.”
They can’t get the story straight. Which is it? Is Russia collapsing? Or is it on the way to conquering all of Europe and world domination? You can’t have both.
‘He would have used his friendship with Trump as an opportunity to attack Ukraine.”
Why didn’t he? Trump was the first to send military aid to the Ukraine. Before that Obama was sending non-lethal stuff. You’d think Putin would have attacked before Trump sent that aid and Ukraine was even weaker.
Casualties are not deaths.
Frostbite produces casualties.
Putin talking to his mistress about their childrens future education: Regarding the future of children, Putin advised taking a closer look at quality educational institutions in China and the UAE.
At the same time, the President casually threw out the phrase: “Soon all of Europe will be ours. And maybe soon there will be no place to study there at all.”

1000 per day? Could be but it is 1000 per day of YouCrayne Solders going thru
Ruzzia Meat Grinder.

BeauBo does not mention Russia collapsing, that’s your conjecture. Also various Russian spokesmen have said, time and time again, that Russia’s border ends where they say it does. ( find your own links ). Therefore, attempting to take all of Europe is very possible. Not that it would be successful.
More over Putin just said that: Regarding the future of children, Putin advised taking a closer look at quality educational institutions in China and the UAE. At the same time, the President casually threw out the phrase: “Soon all of Europe will be ours. And maybe soon there will be no place to study there at all.”

Here, we're told that Russia lost 1,000/day during February; so......29 days in February, which would mean that Russia lost approx, 30K last month..........or the same as Ukraine has lost over the entire two years of the conflict.
