Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital

[rabas]

Breaking   Smashed!

 

Three more high end Russian planes shot down including Russia's next to last $300M AWACS plane. Keeping one for Ukraine leaves nothing to guard elsewhere. Surely some generals must start questioning the Ukraine war's value. Just don't stand near a window when you do.

What if the rest of the non "supporting Putin" countries followed suit?

I reckon it would be a bigger slap in the face than any sanctions they could use!

PS;  Any ideas for other names that Russian addresses could be changed to?

Putin Under arrest Street
Russia Putin the World at risk Street

 

 PPS;  No mail to be delivered unless the new offending name is used!

All I can say, watch out for being the useful idiot, and it not only directed against you, but everyone who take any war propaganda as truth and there is nothing more behind or between the lines. 

 

War is horror and both parts trying their best to rule and divide. 

 

The borders should had been respected, and everyone no matter what they feel should had respected each and ones individual feeling of belonging to one part. 

 

Still ridiculous since all is Russians or Ukrainians no matter how you twist it around!

 

Putin is the obvious aggressor with most power, and have to be treated like one.

 

As claimed before, the economic sanctions is a bluff, and a show with no effect, since Russia still export oil and gas!

 

The more I see what's going on, Putin's seems to know exactly what he doing, he got a solid cruel plan, and stick to it. As said the worst is still ahead of us, and therefore voted for surrender since day one to save innocent lives, and then start working with the real tools that will affect Russia on the long side of it. 

 

Finland and Sweeden become NATO member, stop Russia's export of oil and gas to the west is top priority. 

 

Surrending can give negative effect world wide, but I rather take the chance on that than wasting 50 000 Ukraine children and women, or put the elderly generation trough another hell!

 

As said before the strong support Putin have from China now, ( not always been like that) he can continue without to much risk for a long long rime. 

 

In the meantime Europe is once more flooded with traumatized immigrants.

 

Also the propaganda war inside Russia have to step up and make sure the message about what's really happening. But we all know how that work when someone really is convinced a out something, even the science is there. Many will not believe, 

So, how did this really turn out soon two years later? 

 

Was called out as Putin friendly and totally off the border. 

 

Is it still worth it? Have Ukrainians been used as a piece in a much bigger picture? 

 

What now when other conflicts escalating?

Ask how it's going for Putin. He's the huge problem in the room, always has been. 

 

Now is because we didn't do enough before. No other way with Putin.

I'll let Ukrainians themselves answer that one:

 

"We must fight; we won't tolerate anything else. People are so angry now."

That appetite to defend has remained mostly intact since that morning on 24 February 2022. Against a terrifying unknown, people volunteered in their thousands to join Ukraine's fight.

From 800 to 0 km/h in 1 minute. I think we can rule out break failure as the cause of the crash.

you are still Putin friendly I guess.

 

worth it? let the Ukrainians answer that one, but only as far as Ukraine is concerned.

for the rest of the world, stopping Putin is certainly worth it.

 

Ukrainians have indeed been used. by Putin. not anymore.

 

this conflict will resolve when Trump and his MAGA fanboys (many of which Putin probably has kompromat on) will have been taken care of. Any moment now as even Fox News started attacking the Trump crew.

They are done, they just refuse to acknowledge it for now.

 

Ukraine can hold Russia on its own, but it can't win on its own.

So far, about 350,000 Russian soldiers dead or wounded. And counting. Incredible loss of military material, like tanks, fighter jets, war ships. And counting. Millions have fled the country to escape being drafted. And counting. And increasingly more people, especially wives/girlfriends of soldiers, are protesting the war, calling on Putin to bring their loved ones home.

So maybe you should ask the Russian people if it’s still worth it, to pay such a high price in human and economic loss, to satisfy the delusions of grandeur of their tiny little dictator. Oh wait, you can’t ask the Russian people, because no one is allowed to say anything bad about the war, or about their ‘beloved’ leaders.

Despot Putin reminds me of Lord Farquaad from Shrek, when addressing his knights before a tournament.

"Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make".

Apparently ‘Putin was at the controls during the flight’. Looks they’re going to try to make some kind of demi-god of Putin just like they did/do with the Kin dynasty in North Korea. Pretty soon and Putin will have solved world hunger, the energy crisis and climate change. According to the Kremlin, of course.

Russians have no other choice while putin is in command.

 

How many conflicts around the world involved or involves indirectly and directly USA/Europe vs Russians interests. 

 

Now on the border to Russia EU and Nato (Usa) stepped on foot to far, and with previous conflict neighbouring countries to Russia in mind, who would think that was an good idea to continue to push Ukraine in to a democracy and Partner? 

 

Now it is to late and we have to finish the job while millions on Ukraines is refugees, dead, injured physically and mentally? In Europe only,   6 millions Ukraine refugees. Cities and villages bombed to ruins, children lost their parents, and while this happening, I Putin grow bonds and allies with those who is willing to make money on weapons and other goods we are not willing to supply. The anti west mentality growing with the double standards set by western governments we also see in the middle east at the moments. 

 

I feel with the Ukraine people who have no other choice, than to fight a war that involves alot more than just Russia vs Ukraine? 

 

Just once more, not Putin friendly, Carlson or any other twister of the truth, just being realistic and truly  believes this war could had been avoided. 

 

Is that so hard to understand?

There has been some question of how many $300M A-50 AWACS planes Russia has left.

 

The correct answer is one functional and five not so functional any time soon or maybe never. Five are graveyard skeletons used for spare parts. Probably not much left in Russia's kleptocracy. I count 5 engines remaining out of 5 four-engine planes, and rust. [more info]
