Putin's Ukraine Cataclysm

[Cypress]

they had more then that, but what nobody saw coming was the Javelin .They were so effective the remove Russian tanks from being an asset unable integrate combined arms on the battlefield That is a YUGE difference from previous war


you really should look thru the lnk

On February 24 you would never have predicted that a second rate European nation would fight a world military superpower to a standstill for six months.

Any revisionism and belated attempt to backtrack and claim it was totally expected that Ukraine would fight Putin to a draw does not pass the laugh test.

I really appreciate how bipartisan the support for Ukraine has been.

Moon in not even an American citizen, so I do not claim him as an American liberal. Hopefully for every Annatta, Stone, and Hawkeye demanding Ukranian surrender,or promoting Kremlin propaganda there are five MAGAs who supports Ukraine.

If you appreciate the bipartisan support chill with your MAGAtard rhetoric and simply realize many of us MAGA supporters also want to Make Ukraine Free Again.

I was laughably wrong that the chances were slim Putin would order a full scale Invasion.

But I felt like the Ukrainian army would not be routed and easily defeated.

When I heard that the Russian military had moved blood banks to the Russian Ukraine border I knew Russia's invasion was eminent. I was laughably wrong when I thought it would be a route.

I'm for helping Ukraine. There are Libratards here that support Russia.

You mean moon? It's anyone's guess what moon is! Who are the other "libratards" who support Putin?

Putin has lost the support even of most of the far right in Europe, formerly his devoted admirers. They've spent the past six months hastily backing off.

I think we can assume this wasn't part of his plan. The master chess player has blown it.

For you anti MAGA Trump haters who are pro Ukraine. Trump had the CIA training Ukrainians inside of Ukraine for all 4 years of his Presidency. The CIA taught Ukrainian snipers and how to use Javelin missiles and taught them how to covertly operate behind enemy lines and how to communicate without detection. Remember how many Russian generals and colonels were killed by snipers and all the tanks that were killed by Javelins early in the war. Trump made sure Ukraine got Javelins and Democrats whined about it. Biden pulled them out of Ukraine.

There's widespread support for the war in Russia.

It is illegal to even say the word "war" in Russia. How can there be widespread support for something that is illegal to even say?

There is widespread support for the lack of war that many Russians believe is happening.

 

[Walt]

Yes, different scenario. Gorby was severely weakened with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Heck he had to go into exile to Switzerland. (Wish I could do the same.)

Gorbachev still lives in Moscow. It just shows how unimportant he is that he did not go into exile in Switzerland.

Free Russia Forum

The Free Russia Forum was established to unite Russians, both inside the country and abroad, who believe in democracy, freedom, and human rights.

The Free Russia Forum is an independent platform for Russia’s opposition to discuss issues of Russian and international politics, as well as to develop solutions for bringing Russia out of its current political, economic and civilizational crisis.

The key focus of the Forum is the formation of an intellectual alternative to Putin’s regime, which would create the framework for building a new Europe-oriented Russia

Dumb.
A blanket tourist ban on all Russians, including those who are against the war, just plays right into Putin's hands. It confirms his propaganda that the West is waging war on Russians

Finland and Estonia Want to End Russian Tourism to Europe

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- The leaders of Estonia and Finland want fellow European countries to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian citizens, saying they should not be able to take vacations in Europe while the Russian government carries out a war in Ukraine.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas wrote Tuesday on Twitter that “visiting Europe is a privilege, not a human right” and that it is “time to end tourism from Russia now.”.
