What a pathetic sack of dildos
"NEVER SURRENDER!"
Putin is fighting a war he cannot win.
He will not get Ukraine.
All he requires is for his military to give him good news and this in turn leads to bad results on the battlefield.
The West knows how badly it is going for him and understands this will continue. The Russian mibloggers that dare tell the Russian people the truth but the main people listening are the ultranationalists that are livid with how sloppy and irreconcilably false the reports are. Its going to be at least a horrible 30 more years for Russia.
The best thing that Ukraine can do for Russia is end it by taking Crimea and totally ruining their already broken economy. Start over Russia or starve.

Same damn thing for Biden thru Blinken, peeg. Z is standing right there, sure, but this ain't his war. This belongs 100% to America. We're underwriting this and it's all (American) hands on deck in that country. Boots? No. Hands? Absolutely. If America wins we'll find out the truth, because THEN America can (write it/sell it) any which way it serves them. If Ukraine loses, we'll never find the truth.
One constant is that Putin holds 20% of that country...(He's already got Ukraine, peeg.) But nobody wants to dwell on that fact, especially Biden & Blinken.
"irreconcilably false the reports are"///all of them, both sides. We haven't had a true "report" come out of there since well over a year ago.
America, thru the CNN/MSNBC mechanism hammering that (blogger angle) night & day. Trying desperately to get somebody to assassinate Putin, weirdly like America wanted to do Trump.
"The past is prologue."
"NEVER SURRENDER!"
Well, even the Ukrainians would admit it's different because Russians are buying these weapons whereas Ukraine is being given them and such donations could dry up.
There are first world military weapons and there are third world military weapons.
US/NATO precision artillery s s (also anti-tank missiles, radars, military vehicles, drones, cruise missiles, etc.) are not the same as those from NK or Iran.
Russia is also bartering with NK and Iran as their cash flow is not in great shape.
Over a year and a half, NATO/US are not decreasing support as you would have them do.
Big difference.
Let's wait and see before we can say for sure what the US will do. Because Biden's latest big Ukraine budget request seems to be going nowhere in the congress. You're going to need the Freedom Caucus to fold big time, which is certainly possible but not guaranteed.
...I'd give my left nut for that dry spell.
Won't happen, 7. As long as he's squattin' in that White House they'll give him the money to give to Ukraine. Sadly, just the way it is.
To Ukraine, and for that matter the U.S. corruption is rampant.
"I will never do cluster bombs as Putin has done them. Never, ever. That is evil!" - Biden
tee, hee.
"NEVER SURRENDER!"
honestly up to here, fairly accurate
no country recongized nagorno kharabakh as independent, not even armenia itself. diplomatically speaking, its been considered part of azerbaijan but had been de facto independent with support from armenia proper (though armenia never formally claimed it as part of itself)- azerbaijan started s ing nagoro kabara which is a territory considered part of armenia but completely within azerbaijan
yeah, a lot of armenians hate him right now... but imo he's doing the right thing. armenia is a poor landlocked country and the last thing they need to be doing is engaging in endless war over territory. but i have no idea what these people think the endgame looked like here. azerbaijan alone is more powerful than armenia, and turkey is quite literally azerbaijan's big brother. armenia doesnt have any real support. they've been russia aligned but russia is a terrible ally and hasnt done . meanwhile the west is never going to really support armenia in this because turkey is nato. so it would have just been endless fighting against superior forces. there was no scenario where kharabakh maintained its independence peacefully. imo pashinyan is doing the right thing but will be crucified for it- armenian president first insulted russian allies and also seems not to care about nagoro kabara. Is either a pussy or a traitor
- armenian citizens are protesting accusing the president of betrayal
on the other hand, maybe he's being naive, and azerbaijan wont stop just with kharabakh and will start trying to chip away at armenia's internationally recognized borders. its been thought for a long time that turkey and azerbaijan want to establish a border with one another to create some pan-turkic nation. that would require them taking the southern portion of armenia
dno about any of thatIts a huge mess.
My take is probably CIA just wants to start a fire next to Russia doesnt give a which way it goes. And erdopig is happy to oblige.
We still have billions in the pipeline (e.g., tanks, artillery, s s, small arms, de-mining equipment, etc.) that have not reached Ukraine yet, plus other NATO countries are still supporting Ukraine right now, so no need for your caveat of the near future.
And yet it won't be close to enough to achieve Ukraine's goals. You know that. And Biden knows that, which is why he's asking for billions more.
Russia is not buying drones from Iran anymore. They are kindly given in return for nuclear help.
Seems like a safe deal... The nuclear deal of course only involves help on nuclear power plants... yeah....
Now Russia has had to buy Troops with privatization of the armed forces. so yeah.... thats worked well... Wagner and all...
Zelensky has asked Trump to present his peace plan... *crickets*
The peace plan is very simple. Russia leaves Ukraine.
It's pie in the sky. Putin isn't going to give up his claim to at least Crimea.
Main point I am trying to make right now is just a point already made by Ukraine's Intelligence Chief, who was recently interviewed by The Economist.
Both countries aren't in great shape, but one is at the mercy of others to a much greater extent so it is different.According to Kyrylo Budanov's assessment, the Russian economy can only hold out until 2025, and the flow of weapons to the aggressor will be exhausted by 2026.
"If everything is fine, and Russia has enough resources, why are they looking for them all over the world?" explained the head of Ukrainian intelligence.
However, the risk of resource depletion is also relevant for Ukraine.
"We are dependent on external players, while Russia depends more on itself," Kyrylo Budanov said, adding that it is not yet clear how long the West can sustain a sufficient reserve of resources for Ukraine.
