BS!!
We don’t know what the Ukranian and Russian populace want.
Putin and Zelinski seem to be on ego trips and are not honest about what they want...which is to boost their egos.
U.S. proxy wars with Russia are good business for politicians on both sides of the aisle, as well as their big donors. The only ones that win in a proxy war, are the individuals with investments in the military industrial complex. The losers are the American people, and the U.S. economy.
Hy Ivan pull your head out of Tass or whatever they are calling it now and understand they had been a part of Russia when it was called the Soviet Union and very few of them have any intention of going back.
The plot thickens.
BTW, anyone keeping track of Trumps 2 weeks deadline for Putin to join the peace process?
Total bullSchiff from the neocon Robert Kagan, bloody vampiress Vicky, Anthony Blinkin, John Brennan CSIS warpig team.
This war now is about forcing people in the annexed area to go back to being part of Ukraine. They don’t want to go back:
Donbass Victory Day!! (Lugansk moto-parade)
“Donbass is Russia”
If they don’t want to be part of Ukraine, they should move to Russia where they’ll be happy.
Putin said no.
So Trump is going to make EU pay to support Ukraine.
Previously, they were expecting USA to do that. They got away with that because it was too easy to manipulate Joe Biden.
That’s a choice headline. :)
Well, I'd wager there's probably more dissent in Ukraine than in Russia. Of course, some might say that's because being a dissenter in Russia is hazardous so your health. You could ask Alexei Navalny, Alexander Litvinenko, Boris Nemtsov or Sergei Yushenkov, but they're all dead.
Ukraine will either leave them and Russian Federation territory alone OR can cease existing.
Ceasing to exist would be the best case scenario for US taxpayers.
Let's see. Ukraine under Zelensky has 1) Banned opposition parties 2) Banned opposition media outlets 3) Imprisoned AND MURDERED dissents like US citizen Gonzalo Lira 4) Destroyed churches 5) Round conscripts and sent them to the frontlines against their will to die 6) Cancelled elections.
Everything you, ignorantly, think is true of Russia IS true of Ukraine.
It's just proof of how ignorant or dishonest the average Zeeper is.
Russia is freer than Canada, Britain or France.
It's simply amazing that you get your undies in bunch over Russia given they tyranny that is going on in countries were, unfortunately, aligned with.
Then, why are YouTubers from Russia posting videos criticizing the Russian government?
Why are there thousands of US and Western expats enjoying life in Russia and posting about life there on YouTube?
You're more proof Russian Derangement Syndrome retards the mind as much as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The Ukrainians may or probably have over 1.6m KIA, and those wounded never leave the battlefront hospitals and are returned to duty ever since the war started. Russia lost 50,000 contracter’s in Batmuth, but Ukraine lost 70,000. Russia has lost about 120k soldiers in the war and 400k WIA.
Ukraine is suffering 15,000 desertions’ monthly on average this year since January. Zelinski has locked down Ukraine and male can leave the country legally. He is running a gulag where men are hauled to the frontlines with days or weeks only of training and left in cauldrons as Ukraine never allows them to retreat - trading lives for time.
Ukraine has had 15-17m citizens flee to the west, 2.5m fled to Russia and Belarus took in many as well. Ukraine had 42m people and now is around 23m.
The west and Zelinski has taken an entire population hostage and forced them to fight a war with Russia. Russia on the other hand is using volunteers who sign a contract with 1-2-3 year active combat and a total of 5 years on the military roles. Their conscripts are not fed into the war.
The west made one critical mistake when this started. We told our popultions and the Russians that we hated them and wanted them dead after 8 years of Ukrainian total disregard for Russian lives.
Russian’s have united in the face of the hatred spewed from the west. If there had been a time when Putin was weakened politically, that ended with the Russianphobia and the hate.
Now you have Russians who are in their mid twenties that rountinely respond to surveys that they willing would send their grandchildren to fight Uraine and the West.
Ukriane will see 2m additonal deaths, and 10-12m will flee the country as the authorities breakdown in Ukraine. Eventually, the people may actually join the Russians by targeting the Zelinski government personnel and anyone connected with the slaughter so they end this.
Sadly most armies have individuals that rape for a variety of reasons, the most of which is hate and to further diminish the gene pool of the conqured. Today the East Germans are probably less German than the west by a huge margin.
If blood were thicker than water, today’s east germans would follow their Russian grandfathers.
Ukraines had one chance yesterday. Russia has concluded that they must now conquer the entirity of Ukraine; they simply wanted to end the threat of NATO Membership and Missiles in Ukraine - now it is all or nothing.
The west got a hostage nation and forced it fight a lost war to the last Uke so we could harm Russia as much as possible. Call me cynical or a realist, but Russia is going to accommodate the west out of forced necessity; actually your fears for Ukraine are reasonable since they have a NAZI government.
