So russia starts a war of agression. Attempts to violently annex its neighbouring brother-country. (That suffered genocide under soviet rule before)
Flattens cities, guns down civilians, starts torture rooms, bucha massacres, abducts children, wants to eradicate ukranian nation/identity...
Wow russia could be a rich, wealthy nation that thrives on trade and has great benefits and opportunities for its citizens.
With allies and trading countries lining up for closer relations.
Instead it is a corrupt shithole where almost all the wealth ends up with Putins oligarch and military...
Yeah russia atleast learned from kharkiv where they had no defense in depth or defensive positions to fall back to.
Ukraine really needs the new material and combined weapons training/strategy to overcome this extra challenge. It will not be as easy as before
Very likely.
“Only against a wave of ukranians and without army support would they then have to retreat.”
Numbers leaked spoke of 40-50.000, other analysts max 70-80.
Seems much more likely else ukraine would not have had trouble around bakhmut with THAT many reserves to spare.
Russian cheerleaders like you have been around screaming about russias imminent glorious victory from day 1 of putins 3 day special operation.
And keep screaming the same at day 408 now…when instead of a parade in kiev, wagner is boasting about taking a street in the small city in bakhmut after...
This is major. One of the top political leaders in russia basically stating ukraine has no right/reason to exist.
But plenty of russian cheerleaders on here though.
Somehow ukranians deserve pain because of “what america did!”…..
I agree with this.
China is an fast rising power and unlike russia, actually becoming a near peer/competitor.
But for saudis/iran deal…it was never in USA interest to push for it. Having them at odds ensured the saudis were tied to USA (defense umbrella/material) and petro-dollar secure...
ukraine holds the big cities in zhaporizhia and retook the capital of cherson province.
Advance after russia poured in 300.000 fodder has been 0,1% ukraine land.
now even russian news outlet indicate ukraine is building up for counter offensive.
“great success comrades”.
Why not make it...
They do not fully control any of these claimed provinces.
Well Cherson capital for one…
Based on russian data. Effect sanctions will be felt in time.
The west demolished soviet union. Russia is a poorer/smaller remains of that.
We scored better economically then russia?
Russia lost half...
Losing half your armor and most of your professional army for a few cities in the donbass?
Throwing your economy back 20 years?
Losing your biggest gas customers?
Territory that is not recognized as yours by rest of the world and contested and at risk of being retaken by ukraine. Your...
What “blaze”?
Russian feared winter offensive after mobilising 300.000 soldiers amounted to taking half of a small city in the donbass.
That spells major trouble for russian ambitions on donbass, let alone the four claimed provinces, let alone kiev.
You are delusional buddy. Keep hoping for...
Taliban got an enormous amount of recruits from pakistani madrassas.
Pakistan had a large part in growing the taliban.
“Sometimes the dog bites the hand of its owner”
(Or to put less simplistic, large minority in pakistan supported and tolerated hardline islam and were blind to risk nation/society)
Hmm this russian twitter bot was the only googlehit i could find on this news.
Care to link to bbc or an actual original source surrounding what MI-6 exactly stated?
Or spreading fake news again?
With nukes Pakistan should not fear any full on invasion.
a large army and nuclear deterrence is costly to maintain however.
Pakistan should be careful not to focus too much on military but forget economic foundation. (As soviet union did)
This traitor has been selling this message for 405 days of the 3 day special operation so far.
Just before ukraine reconquered 50% of invaded territory…..Scott was claiming how ukraine was collapsing and fighting a lost war.
He has zero credibility left.
Just admit you were gladly sharing fake news from russian propaganda instead of squirming like that.
Learn from your russian friends.
Dont bother defending previous lies, just move on to another whataboutism or another propaganda piece.
Yes. Master strategist Putin is trading 200 bcm gas to the west, with 30 bcm to china.
With hopes to maybe increase it to 88 bcm in 2030 (ridiculous time estimation at that).
With China being the sole customer forcing large Price discounts.
Record budget deficit for the next 15 years for...
You are not strictly neutral. You show selective outrage and try to paint both sides as “Equally morally wrong” in a situation where:
an agressor is annexing land from a neigbour. Despite a vow to safeguard their security (for getting rid of nukes).
Denying their very existance…Flattening...
So what?
You have no idea what hate-speech can do? Its poison.
He was most likely funded by russia, and got his income pushing attacks on civilian infrastructure (to kill more ukranians) and claiming:
“We'll defeat everyone, we'll kill everyone, we'll rob everyone we need to. Everything will...
He is not really a civilian.
He is an very active part of the russian propaganda machine behind the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine.
A mini Goebbels.
They call that Karma. Good riddance.
