The war in Ukraine

"I miss the ""is putin about to make a big mistake"" thread"

I think I've located Gerasimov. He's our defensive coach.

"Cappy old Pal cumulative inflation is up 18% since Biden took over, year over year we have had 3 prints in a row showing it is going up again and is currently at 3.1 % much higher than the Feds target rate of 2%. Powell just said the fight on inflation is not assured, so doesn’t appear anywhere in the data or by what the Fed is saying that Interest rates will come down before the election. Are you making shit up again? Looks to me that people are losing their jobs and inflation is going higher as are interest rates. Again what’s he got to run on? Even the Pro Palestinians and the Jews don’t like him. Black and Hispanic Americans are tired of being ignored while illegal immigrants get their hand outs. It’s a train wreck and you know it."

"Tend to stay away from ticktock and the like for the sake of my sanity, Cheezey. But I’m sure it is also treated as a reference by the blue-rinse gollums of the shires in their pursuit of the mong vote. They’ll howl down any sensible foreign policy responding to real threats while demanding absolute loyalty on idiocy like Brexit or Rwanda. So good they got a proper Mullery in the locals just now - they are a pathetic laughing stock as individuals and a menace to themselves collectively."

"Gimpy - great to set up a series of interest rate cuts by the fed running into the election - fatty’s head may explode when that happens. Oh, and you need to stop buy the hysteria about decent numbers being a disaster. The only way they are bad is that they’re not the fantastic numbers of the past three years."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

"Yes, I've realised that while thinking about it. It's the Putin assets attempting to invalidate the Ukrainian position. You see it a lot in tiktok comments where the pro Putin scum are untouchable."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"The proxy war thing is another known Kremlin trope designed to present Russia as the brave victim of an aggressive, conniving West. So if a country supplies weapons but insists they are not on Russian infrastructure inside Russian territory, this is seized on as evidence that Ukraine is a mere unwilling tool and proxy. It’s the usual Socialist Worker level crap peddled by brainwashed shouty Nigels."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

"I often see the point made that this is a proxy war. I'm not entirely sure what point is being made. Is this a suggestion that the Ukrainians are somehow being forced to keep fighting when they would prefer to make peace with Putin? Or is it, as I believe, just pro-Russian shills expressing their bitterness that the war is being turned against them?"

[Nutsin]

"Cappy did you see today’s payroll numbers? What a fucking disaster, what the fuck is Biden going to run on?"

Careful Joyo - Bovine “Does his own research” on the internet. He got his medical degree there as well as one in political science from the RT online university.

"Joyo Can you be clear about who is ""thick as shit""? I'm sure that those of us who are ""thick as shit"" would be quite happy to engage in a debate about the subject."

Because comma they are thick as shit Putin apologists

[riosleftsock]

"Comma Good to see you standing four square with Johnson, Sunak and Cameron on foreign policy. Bravo!"

"Why do some of you post like Ukraine is the aggressor, with forces occupying Russian territory, and Russia is fighting a valiant defensive action?"

"Sending NATO troops to Ukraine would be a dangerous escalation, this is not necessary - British Foreign Secretary Cameron. David Cameron also said that he leaves it to Kiev to decide how to use British weapons. after being quoted ""ukraine has the right to strike inside russia"" Yet people claim this isn’t a proxy war."

"""The Russians will take the Baltics in seven days."" Yeah righto"

"From Ukrainska Pravda (infamous Kremlin propaganda media) Defence Intelligence of Ukraine official says Kyiv can't win on battlefield alone: such wars end in treaties IVASHKIV OLENA — FRIDAY, 3 MAY 2024, 00:51 34256 Defence Intelligence of Ukraine official says Kyiv can't win on battlefield alone: such wars end in treaties MEETING OF UKRAINE’S AND RUSSIA’S DELEGATIONS IN MARCH 2022. PHOTO: OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE Vadym Skibitskyi, Deputy Head of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, has said that he sees no way for Ukraine to win the war on the battlefield alone. He believes that such wars can only end in treaties. Source: Skibitskyi in an interview with The Economist Details: Skibitskyi noted that even if Ukraine managed to push Russian troops back to the borders, which is an increasingly remote prospect, it would not end the war. Skibitskyi noted that both sides are currently trying to take the ""most favourable position"" before potential negotiations. But he also stressed that meaningful negotiations may not begin until the second half of 2025. By then, Russia will face serious ""headwinds."" Russia's military production capacity has grown, but will plateau in early 2026 due to a lack of materials and engineers. Both Ukraine and Russia may eventually face a shortage of weapons. But if nothing else changes, Ukraine will run out of weapons first. Skibitskyi said the biggest uncertain factor in the war was Europe. If Ukraine's neighbours do not find a way to further increase their defence production to help Ukraine, they too will eventually be targeted by Russia. He downplayed the importance of Article 5, which deals with NATO's collective defence and even the presence of NATO troops in countries bordering Ukraine. This article, in his view, may prove to be of little practical significance. Quote from Skibitskyi: ""The Russians will take the Baltics in seven days. NATO’s reaction time is ten days."" More details: He also noted that Ukraine's bravery and sacrifice have given Europe a multi-year head start, eliminating the immediate threat of the once-fearsome Russian airborne forces and marines for at least a decade. Now, as Skibitskyi stressed, the question is whether Europe will reciprocate by allowing Ukraine to stay in the game: ""We have no choice. We want to live. But the outcome of the war [...] isn’t just down to us."""

Pickle you dug a tunnel yet?

"“The democratically elected government was overthrown by a violent western colour revolution, and many people in Ukraine did not accept the new unelected, illegitimate government. You didn't accept the democratically elected government in your own country.” What absolute twaddle. Of course many did not accept the Majdan revolution; many didn’t support the collapse of the Soviet Union either. And why should I accept a democratically elected government if it’s totally incompetent and corrupt, you pathetic peasant?"

[riosleftsock]

"The fire was a crime? It was a mass murder by ukrainian banderite nazis. Nobody was arrested, charged or convicted. The democratically elected government was overthrown by a violent western colour revolution, and many people in Ukraine did not accept the new unelected, illegitimate government. You didn't accept the democratically elected government in your own country. You are probably a fascist."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Point’s as straight as a die, SpamBotTroll2. The fire was a crime. I’m asking you who are these Banderite Nazis Putin wants to save us from. He is a known mass-murderer so they must be pretty nasty to make anyone want to seek his protection from them."
