I think we might underestimate the support Putin still has in Russia

 

Just saw a guy driving around Jomtien with a big Russian president flag hanging off the back, I did take a picture but not sure if I can post or not

Yesterday I saw a car outside Villa Mart in Phuket with the Ukraine flags and streamers draped all over it. I wanted to find the owners and offer support.

You must be kidding! Are you trying to imply that the massive level of war crimes that we have already witnessed from the butcher of moscow does not amount to 'high level mass bombing'?  Away with your attempts to normalise the atrocities Putin has already committed.

I don't understand where you're coming from,  I hope it doesn't get worse but because Putin and company are already accused of war crimes what's to stop him doing even worse things.

Wrong in Thailand that would be against the Thai wishes who voted in the UN for Russia to stop the illegal invasion

keep it up, they keep sinking them! Another 2 boats down. Great video in the link

 

Wow, the Ukrainian Navy has posted a video showing a Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drone taking out another 2 Russian Raptor fast-attack vessels. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is getting decimated and it all seems to be happening right next to Snake Island.

 

I reckon the only safe place soon for the ruskies will be down with the fish....

My post said the navy released the video and that was only today of the two being hit even though the actual events happened a couple of days old. Hope that clears it up for you despite your confused emoji

 

Here's some other links with this new video that has just been released within the last couple of hours:

Quite right. The Russians have shown in Syria that they are completely ruthless and 100% amoral in reaching their objectives. I’m sure their attitude hasn’t changed one bit, and one of their goals is to cause as much devastation, suffering and death as possible. Maybe it’s time Ukraine took the fight to Russian territory and pay them back in kind. Or maybe they are waiting for May 9 to send Russia and Putin a clear message that Ukraine is far from beaten.

Not just far from beaten, the Russians are being handed their a###s in Ukraine, according to a Dr. Ledwidge of the Institute for the Study of War.

If the EU bans Russian oil and gas, Russia will become a failed state. No income, a ruined economy, and a discredited military. All due to the overweening ambition of one person.

I know it's inappropriate for things like this to happen I was only thinking how many Russians are in Pattaya and maybe other places.

If a Thai person knocked out T shirts they could make some money.

After all if a Russian person wants to go home it would be a good thing to wear going through customs whether they support or not.

Nearly 4M Russians Left Russia in Early 2022 – FSB!

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/05/06/nearly-4m-russians-left-russia-in-early-2022-fsb-a77603

This Russians own news, how many has actually left !? Really bad thing is that IMO almost all who leave are against Putin! There for soon no people left in Russia who can tell real opinion about war or other things in Russia! Only voice what soon hear from there is government propaganda! Even not many  opposition voices has heard anyway! Because if they are not in prison they has get killed.

Exclusive: A @theipaper investigation has uncovered 66 camps in remote parts of Russia where thousands of Ukrainians have been taken as regional officials follow orders from Moscow to disperse them across the country.

 

For the past month, I have been analysing dozens of Russian-language local news reports from Belgorod to Vladivostok and using maps to show how officials are taking Mariupol survivors to a network of Soviet-era sanatoriums, children’s camps, hostels and orphanages.

 

The results are shocking and show the first evidence of a major operation to spread Ukrainians across Russia – at sites stretching across the Ural Mountains as far east as the remote Kamchatka Peninsula.

 

Putin sends Mariupol survivors to remote corners of Russia as investigation reveals network of 66 camps

One activist told i: “The state treats them as a labour force, as objects, moving them around without taking care of what they need. The state is unable to look after them. They are vulnerable and need help.”

i‘s investigation marks the first evidence of a major operation to spread them across a country gripped by a historic post-Cold War population decline.

Have to be really mentally sick people who claim other's to be Nazi and doing all the time bad war crime's!

[Bkk Brian]

Some Russian state TV ramblings although in these ones a smack of reality and desperation is beginning to come through, links all contain the video with eng subs:

 

Senior military expert on Russian state TV argued that mobilization wouldn't accomplish a whole lot, since outdated weaponry can't easily compete with NATO-supplied weapons and equipment in Ukraine's hands and replenishing Russia's military arsenal will be neither fast nor easy.

 

As average Russians are starting to feel the sting of Western sanctions, talking heads and government officials on state TV suggest that what Russia needs now to prevent potential riots is a figure like the notorious Lavrentiy Beria, who headed the NKVD during Stalin's purges.

 

Meanwhile on Russian state TV, military experts are concerned that Russia's current economy is unfit to meet the needs of its Armed Forces. One expert advocated the urgent need to move on to "military socialism" and a "wartime economy," with government in charge of everything.

These relocations are very Stalinist. It's clear by now that Putin's intentions towards Ukraine are genocidal. That doesn't mean killing every last Ukrainian. It means killing Ukrainian identity, Ukrainian nationalism, Ukrainian culture, Ukrainian language, and of course killing (or relocating including the refugees not in Russia) masses of Ukrainians in the process. This is total EVIL. Putin isn't Hitler. Putin isn't Stalin. He's he's own horrible brand -- Putin the Terrible.

Europe is Russia's most important customer for energy exports by far.  Europe is now highly motivated to find other sources.  Russia will be able to sell oil elsewhere, but currently Europe is the only country that Russia can export significant quantities if natural gas to. 

 

"In 2021, Europe bought up about 42 percent of Russia’s total oil production, while China purchased 14 percent and 30 percent stayed in Russia."  https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/597882-here-are-the-countries-that-import-the-most-russian-oil/

 

Also in 2021, Europe bought 74% of Russia's natural gas exports.   https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=51618

It certainly seems that way.

First it was claimed that Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO and/or because of Ukraine's treatment of Russians. So not Russia's fault.

Now you're claiming that Putin will do even worse things because he's been accused of war crimes. And not because someone capable of such extreme barbarity could do even worse? Once again, it's somebody else's fault but not Putin's.

This webpage can be useful for keeping track of Russian equipment losses and they are only the ones with visual confirmation, the list is comprehensive including all military equipment by category with link to visual/video of the damage/loss.

 

Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

 

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here.

Putin's Victory day speech is due at 12 noon Moscow time, I make that around 4pm in Thailand. Lets see what lies he sprouts.

 

This is what the dictator said yesterday:

 

‘As in 1945, Victory Will Be Ours’: Vladimir Putin on World War II Anniversary

Putin, who invaded Ukraine in February, said that soldiers are fighting to free their native land from “Nazi filth".

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday, 8 May, that “as in 1945, victory will be ours” while he sent congratulations to former Soviet nations marking the 77th anniversary of the Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II.

Putin, who launched a 'military operation' in Ukraine in February 2022, said that even today, their soldiers are fighting to free their native land from “Nazi filth” and said that it is their duty to prevent the Nazi from “rearing its head” once more, reported AFP.
