The NATO is a defense alliance she is not a threat to Russia. Putin is a thief. He trying to steal other people property, nothing else.
Exclusive: As war began, Putin rejected a Ukraine peace deal recommended by aide
Putin's chief envoy on Ukraine told the Russian leader as the war began that he had struck a provisional deal with Kyiv that would satisfy Russia's demand that Ukraine stay out of NATO, but Putin rejected it and pressed ahead with his military campaign, according to three people close to the...www.reuters.com
Putin rejected Ukraine peace deal struck by aide as war began: report
President Vladimir Putin’s deputy chief of staff, Dmitry Kozak, had hammered out a deal with Kyiv at the start of the war that would keep Ukraine out of NATO, but the Kremlin strongman report…nypost.com
Putin’s spiritual head is Alexander Dugin, a Russian nationalist. Dugin invents the concept of “Russian world”. In his mind Ukraine doesn’t exist, the West is corrupt. Putin’s military doctrine is based on “ Russian civilization”. 25 million Russians live outside Russia, he sees as his obligation to protect them, irrespective of national borders.
In the book "Foundations of Geopolitics" in 1997 Dugin wrote "It is especially important to introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements -- extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S."

Some interesting thoughts of Dugin on China:
On Germany
- China, which represents a danger to Russia, "must, to the maximum degree possible, be dismantled". Dugin suggests that Russia start by taking Tibet–Xinjiang–Inner Mongolia–Manchuria as a security belt.[1] Russia should offer China help "in a southern direction – Indochina (except Vietnam), the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia" as geopolitical compensation.[9]
On Germany
- Germany should be offered the de facto political dominance over most Protestant and Catholic states located within Central and Eastern Europe. Kaliningrad Oblast could be given back to Germany. The book uses the term "Moscow–Berlin axis".[9]

Post USSR, Ukraine weakens while Russia strengthens. 5 years from now, Russians out number Ukrainians 5 to 1, population 150 million compared to population 30 million. The longer the war, the worse for Ukraine, the better for Russia.
Combat work of Russian 240-mm self-propelled mortars 2S4 "Tulip" in Ukraine. Combat vehicle 2S4 "Tulip" is used in the most difficult sectors of the front.
Twenty Australian-made Bushmaster armored vehicles appeared in Ukraine. The Bushmaster armored car began to be produced in 1998, the car was originally intended to transport 10 soldiers and not to conduct combat operations. The armor of the vehicle protects the crew from 7.62 mm bullets and high explosives, it can be reinforced with modules. According to the developers, the armored vehicle is able to survive a landmine explosion up to 9.5 kg. The R400S-Mk2 combat module with an integrated 40-mm Mk.19 automatic grenade launcher is installed on the vehicle. Despite its appearance, the car is considered successful and has proven itself well. The approximate cost of an armored car, 1.5 million dollars.
Combat work of the Russian Osa-AKM air defense system in Ukraine. According to the servicemen, the air defense duty is on around the clock, only the crew of the air defense system changes.
Russian artillery attack on the Buk air defense system and Krab self-propelled guns of Ukraine. After the discovery of the Ukrainian air defense system, artillery attacked the area and destroyed the installation. A Polish-made Ukrainian self-propelled gun Krab was also found. The self-propelled guns Krab drove into the forest, the self-propelled guns were destroyed there by artillery strikes.

Are you sure it's Italian? Would you please help me to see if the text in the picture is Italian?Don’t be ridiculous that will never come as bad like that. Maybe in some areas of Southern Europe but not the normal case. Germany gas stocks are 87 percent I expect 100 percent end of Sept. Just a shortage of gas but no shortage of coal. Wood oven is more for comfort feeling, not the major source for heating.
Besides most houses need very few energy. Thanks to gov subsidies if you renovate the houses. My house is built something like below, it can withstand -10 Celsius without heating. Walls, windows, doors are isolated against cold by 3 composite layers.

Get real everyone russia isn't going out so easy. Yes its getting beaten up no doubt about that but Russia is one of the countries who can take a beat and lose for few years before going down.

Japan took Hong Kong and Philippines and Malaysia from the Allies in WW2 but still ended up losing. The war is just getting started. Better grab that hot popcorn and enjoy the show.

Ukraine doesnt need to reinforce kherson. Russia has trouble holding on as it is on that front.
Ukraine should start to pressure on luhansk/donetsk front. At most reinforce around bakhmut where Wagner still has its mini offensive going.

Ukraine is under a lot of stress. Ukraine population 36 million is out numbered more than 4 to 1 by Russia and rebels. It's like Japanese fighting in China in WW2. The odds are not good.
