Sooooo, all of a sudden the clown Boris becomes a good guy by being rude to Putin, LOL.

 

Wasn't Boris the one that made the war happen by telling Zelensky not to negotiate? Tell me if I'm wrong.

Interesting perspective from S. Frederick Starr, Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute and former adviser to three US presidents. 

 

Based mainly on statements by various people within Russia itself, Starr sees multiple signs of weakness bedeviling the Russian war effort, especially on the economic front and his view is that:

 

 

Ukraine and Russia’s Collapsing Home Front

Just one man's opinion but an apparently well-informed one.

I agree with that, have posted similar myself.

i just want to add something i dont know if its mentioned or not before..

north korean soldiers are all putins dream. zombie soldiers. no questioning or else but just obey the orders to dead

great for the meat wave

the thing is.. north korean reality kicks in. north korean soldiers are physically not good enough due to less protein.. etc. most likely they met a real food first time in their life when they were training in russia. but now again at the front their food is not that good.

You're wrong, just as Chamberlain was wrong.

You obviously know nothing about the situation necessitating Chamberlain's actions, so why would I give credence to anything else you post?

Hardly unbiased though. Same old same old Russia's doomed that we've seen the past couple years. I'll believe it if it happens.

 

Various people? Nothing to say who they are and why they hold their opinions. LOL.

Those who think NATO countries should increase their military budgets by a few percent to be able to confront the Russian Federation on the battlefield are likely grossly underestimating the financial requirements, and the strains to be imposed upon their already extenuated economies.

Western Europe is currently governed by economic imbeciles, for whom diplomacy is an unknown art.  And as if that is not enough, they are also unable to master the arts of war, which are supposed to be an extension of diplomacy.

 

Post-Soviet Russia was never a threat to Western European nations and in fact sought closer relations with them.

Then Atlanticist aggressive anti-Russian propaganda and menacing expansionism forced the Russian government to reconsider its position.

 

At the same time, by arousing patriotic sentiment, NATO threats have encouraged greater public support for Putin's government.  The opposite of what was intended.

 

Even now, I do not believe Russia seeks to overrun western Europe.  They are not that illogical.

 

There were years of deliberate NATO provocation and, finally, a powerful Ukrainian striking force assembled and softenng-up barrage unleashed, before Russia resorted to a pre-emptive military strike.  Those that fail to understand this should study the sequence of preceding events.

 

Of course there were other ramifications that led to the decision-making.  Does anyone believe these days that NATO interventions in the Middle East, North Africa, and South-East Europe were all about human rights and democracy?

 

Western official and MSM narratives seek to indoctrinate Western Europeans into believing this fable of a nascent Russian expansionism, projecting onto Russians the characteristics of the accusers.

 

If the war-mongering propagandists carry on hard enough and long enough about Russian intentions of overrunning NATO nations, perhaps one day the idea might take root and have them say to themselves "Why not do it?"  But the way things are going they will not need to.  West European nations are self-destructing.

 

Lots of stuff on there to agree with.

 

West European nations are self-destructing.

Agree.

 

Does anyone believe these days that NATO interventions in the Middle East, North Africa, and South-East Europe were all about human rights and democracy?

Agree.

Agree, though I would delete "economic" from the sentence.

 

Post-Soviet Russia was never a threat to Western European nations and in fact sought closer relations with them.

Agree. However, western leaders need a boogeyman to justify the economic IMO raping of their economies. If Russia didn't exist it would have to be invented.

 

There were years of deliberate NATO provocation

Agree.

 

And as if that is not enough, they are also unable to master the arts of war, which are supposed to be an extension of diplomacy.

Post war western nations such as the US and the UK had many ex military politicians that had served in the war. W H Bush was probably the last. They understood what war is. The present cabal know nothing about serving.

As the video title says, Ukraine just launched an unknown number of ATACMS missiles at a rocket and missile solid fuel manufacturing facility in Bryansk.  Keep chipping away guys.
