Russia-Ukraine War Political Discussion

[lloyd007]

Boris Johnson unleashing a real rant against Marcon, saying he had a bromance with Putin before the war, calling Macron a cunt and saying he's 'Putin's lickspittle'.

TBF, UK =/= France and aside from Ukraine, no one is actually at war with Russia.

You know when IQs and attention span started dropping like a rock?
2006.

Twatter and Facebook became big the same year, geez, I wonder if there might be a coincidence...

Good thread that goes through and eviscerates the idea that peace can be achieved by cutting aid for Ukraine and deconstructs most arguments used by those in favor of cutting support.

Edit:
Oh, and Russia's Supreme Court has made it illegal for Russians to surrender; guess this is part of their push to make sure Ukraine does not have Russia POWs to exchange for their own going forward.

Protests in Georgia over allowing direct flights from Russia to their wayward province again

First Russian Flight Lands In Tbilisi After Kremlin Lifts Ban

A Russian passenger plane has landed in Tbilisi, the first since Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted a 2019 flight ban last week.

One can only wonder why Georgians at large seem to have engaged in such Russophobia. I thought, as the international relations expert Scott Ritter said recently, you just have to get to know Russia better.

This wouldn’t be the first time a completely hacked off Russian army has come home to overthrow a government. They’ve been sent to die out there, so I wouldn’t blame them.

Aaand the fanservice animu town has fallen:

Oops, wrong link to wrong Bahmut:

Bakhmut Citadel area has fallen to the Russians

 

[Zachowon]

Except we still have Ukrainians holding territory.
Until Ukraone says it, it hasn't fallen.
Because Bakhmut has fallen at least 12 times according to the Russians

Again.
I will wait until the Ukrainians admit it.
Because when they admit it then it is true.
Until then, Wagner has a habit of lying

Same Ukraine that "admitted" it took down Kinjals, then people from their PVO said it was not the case, then they flip flopped again?

And so far only Wagner has said Bakhmut has been taken

 

[Bacle]

The Ukrainians pretty much only hold the SW corner of the town near the Mig-17 monument now, and that's simply because the Russian's have taken to just leveling their way through the town with artillery.

The counter-attacks on the flanks seem to have allowed forces in Bahkmut to withdraw under better conditions to prepared defenses outside town, and made it so all Russia gets out of Bahkmut is a place to be fish in a shooting barrel.

The fact that you appear to delight in this is profoundly concerning.

The fact that you use holier than thou blather is neither surprising, not entertaining at this point.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

The fact that you use holier than thou blather is neither surprising, not entertaining at this point.

It’s literally as cringe inducing as people laughing at Russian soldiers getting blown to bits by drone strikes.

Please show an ounce of maturity and stop.

 

[DarthOne]

Zelensky is saying plainly and directly there is no point to negotiating with Putin, because Putin cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith.

Gotta keep that grift going too so NATO can use Ukraine as a weapons test bed and money laundering scheme.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

I’m hoping you’re just joking.

Because if you‘re not, you really don’t understand what’s happening in Ukraine at all.

 

[Marduk]

I think vast majority of Ukraine would prefer even that as opposed to the alternative proposed by Russia.
