I honestly think Europe will have to get troops going real soon ....   they cannot just sit back and do nothing but talk.

I’m old enough to remember when the left was all about peace and negotiations, now they’re all kill kill kill. 

 

I guess killing is where the money and power is.

I believe that Trump is actually extending the war as he is giving Putin so many supporting signals that will encourage Putin to grab as much of Ukraine at any cost as quickly as he can while Trump withholds support along with the delays in Europe getting together and filling the voids.

What is this claim based on?

I give him 48 hours. Lucky he squirreled away so much and has villas overseas to live his life in luxury, as a million Ukrainian mothers mourn the senseless death of their kids. It was for nowt.

 

 

So which part of your country would you give up if Putin came for it ?

The Russian navy does not need Crimea to control its naval entry to the Black Sea. It can do that just as easily from the port of Novorosslyk.

 

The Russian bear will not go back to sleep. The Russian demographic is collapsing, this is the Kremlin's last chance to push westward to natural land barriers.

 

Putin's miscalculated invasion only succeeded in adding 1500 km of frontier with a new NATO country, Finland. The Finns have not forgotten how they were forced to cede Karelia in 1940.

 

Russia has an existential crisis as bad as Ukraine. Appeasing it is just kicking the can down the road.

I still say blow Moscow of the face of the earth,  what has Ukraine got to lose, Russia has slaughtered kids, women and elderly,  that's enough evidence for me to destroy them ..... just do same as Truman did in August 1945,  wipe the bastards out ....   Ukraine is stuck between a rock and a hard place,  they have been thrown under a bus protecting Europe ......  bomb Moscow. imo

If my country was a former Soviet state and the US had effectively taken control of it(against all treaties and promises), I would be sounding the alarm bells as loud as possible.

Provocation is bad. Provocation leading to war is unforgiveable. Denying the facts and blindly cheering on one side is stupid.

If they did that, Ukraine would face nuclear weapons, or large destructive weapons reigning down on their cities.

 

The reality is Russia could dispose of Ukraine by unilaterally destorying it to peices and killing everyone, and probably Ukraine in retaliation has enough weapons to destroy some Russian cities. It would be mutual destruction. 

 

What then would be the point of the Russians invading Ukraine, if you've destroyed everything and left it in a mess. The cost of rebuild would be huge. If you nuclear bomb it, then you couldn't live there for decades - so what would have been the point ?

 

I don't think anyone in Russia signed up for having Moscow or other cities destroyed either. 

 

Russians clearly miscalculated the strength of resolve from Europe to back Ukraine, and thought they could steam roller over new land. This was about a land grab. Nothing else.

Nonsensical argument. So what led Putin to annex Georgia? The west did nothing so felt embolded. Waited for the rite conditions didn't he. He's hurt Europe with the energy crisis, and calculated no way they would back Ukraine.

Most of “land grab “ took place over ten years ago. 

 

Do you really think Ukraine can get Crimea and the Donbas back in a ground war with Russia?

 

Nukes are a pretty strong hole-card.

Ukraine has no Nukes. But it has enough to destroy some Russian cities too - if it came to a destruction process. Sad times.

I hear ya '    and I agree some,  but Ukraine problem is it's been used as a guinea pig to protect Europe and Europe hasn't done enough in return to protect Ukraine.  -AND THAT'S LOGIC COMMON SENSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENED -

 

so if I was Urkaine, honestly, I would destroy Moscow anyway possible,  because as it stands there is no end game and Russia will try to move west and just murder everyone,   so I wouldn't hesitate in nuking Moscow.  they have No choice ....  imo

[steven100]

with no international army boots on the ground,    it sends a message that you have to fend for yourself so you do that by bombing Moscow.   Then either Europe will get off their a_sre and help or they can become cannon fodder as well.   imo

He brought totally into the ridiculous msm narrative that the war was totally unprovoked and only happened because Putin is a madman. Lots of them did. Shows the power of propaganda on minds that need quick takes on everything. Putin bad. Ukraine good. No shades of grey. No understanding of the provocations. Just this constant drone of Putins mad, he blew up his own pipeline etc etc

Its a worry so many are unable to think for themselves. Thank C they lost in the election. I am quite sure blinkered democrats and msm consumers would start a nuclear wsr.

I'm pretty sure these low-information anti-Russian pro-war conduits don't do much in the way of reading.  They watch main-stream TV and parrot the sound bites of the Biden Administration and State Department saying "Unprovoked" over and over and over again. That repetitive sloganism is propaganda. The weakest minds grasp on and run with it.

One can understand what is going on by reading what comes out of the Council of Foreign Relations and think-tanks like RAND. 
Example:
"Providing lethal aid to Ukraine would exploit Russia’s greatest point of external vulnerability. But any increase in U.S. military arms and advice to Ukraine would need to be carefully calibrated to increase the costs to Russia of sustaining its existing commitment without provoking a much wider conflict in which Russia, by reason of proximity, would have significant advantages."
- Overextending and Unbalancing Russia, Apr 2019,  RAND Research Brief
https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10014.html

Unprovoked.  Check out the date. Apr 2019.  The US foreign policy agenda for close to 20 years has been the strategic overthrow and break-up of Russia.  Geo-political analysts know it.  Russia knows it.  It's not a secret.  And from 2014 onward Ukraine was a wedge to be used in the attempted break-up of Russia.

Other RAND ideas which were implemented using Ukraine as the US' proxy instead to NATO troops.  

 

And more.....

Those screaming "Unprovoked" and other anti-Russian tropes should try reading the RAND paper. And then think: If Russia planned these same measures against the US, how would the US react.  "Unprovoked?"  Get real. Think tanks like RAND are the basis on which of US foreign policy is developed and implemented.
However, I actually believe this paper may be beyond their reading level and attention span although it's marginally high school level reading at best.  Those screaming anti-Russian hatred the loudest aren't the sharpest tacks in the box. But they do make excellent useful idiots, i.e., tools.

The US was weak from Iraq under Bush.

 

The US was in love with Russia during Obama’s first term, and Obama agreed to cancel missile defense for help with his reelection. 

 

Obama ignored Russia during his second term  when the took Crimea.

 

Trump sold arms to Ukraine and sanctioned  Russia. 

 

Biden stoped arms to Ukraine and cancelled sanctions on Russia. 

 

Biden surrendered Afghanistan, makinf the US look weak. 

 

Russia was emboldened to invade Ukraine. 

 

Now here we are, fighting to the last Ukrainian.

Do you think Europe, that has had ten years to meet their NATO commitments and has not, is going to have time to do anything to respond to a Russian response to Moscow being bombed? 

[mogandave]

How many people here are going, or have a child that will be going to fight a ground war in  Russia? 

 

I think the UK and France have both indicated they would be willing to deploy security forces to Ukraine once an agreement is reached. 

 

The US has indicated it would heavily arm Ukraine, funded via US-Ukraine minerals agreements.

Apparently you have not heard of Mutually Assured Destruction, with the appropriate acronym MAD

 

Truman did not have to think about Japan striking back.

 

IMO the EU needs to gear up to assist Ukraine, Trump is totally unreliable.

 

Richard Condon wrote a book called The Manchurian Candidate. Quite possible Trump is the Moscow Candidate.

 

Let the sanctions do the work of destroying the Russian economy.

You don't even have to read the book. Read the bibliography and citations. "Unprovoked."  Uh-huh.

Is it just me or does anyone find it a bit strange we never really see images of the hell of the war ?

 

With most wars you see awful images, videos, the fighting .... with this one, other than the odd drone incident, i rarely see anything.

 

Maybe there is footage out there, but definately not mainstream. Where is the action videos ?

Listen, if being rational and accepting the facts is left - guilty as charged.

 

 

 

Let's see if you continue being "rational and accepting the facts" when the truth about pedophilia and Epstein start coming out shortly. Or if you "accept the facts" that Obama's birth certificate being fake wasn't just a conspiracy theory, and that he was a foreign operative.

The problem with the left is not their political opinions, but the reality that they refuse to acknowledge "facts" that don't fit their contrived narrative.

 

Yes, Zelensky is a puppet of the globalist cabal, and yes, Ukraine is responsible for the war. Russia was given no choice but to take the bait. The West started it in 2014 by fomenting a coup against the legitimate Ukrainian government, and then lied during the Minsk agreements to buy time to build up Ukraine militarily.  The issue isn't that there are no "facts", but merely that you refuse to accept the "facts", and prefer the convenient lies and propaganda being told to you by the legacy media.

 

But all that is about to end. The truth about who the Left/RINOs/Globalists truly are is about to be exposed.

 

Let's see over the coming year if you are truly ready to hear the facts, or if you just plug your ears and scream "Trump is lying" like you are now.

That’s a good point. Only a tiny percentage of the population enjoys watching death and destruction. If the public saw row after row of boys in hospital beds on the news every day, support for the war would plummet.

 

Interesting the same press loves to show it in Gaza.

Yeah, the people I walked with in Vietnam anti-war protests are now raging pro-war maniacs.  Pro-war in Russia.  Pro-war in China.  Pro-war in the Middle East.  Pro-war everywhere.  I don't know who these people are now. As far as war goes, I'm still the same person I was back then even though I'm a US veteran.  The Soviet/US era was dangerous.  But the USSR dissolved and NATO should have dissolved with it.  Peace should have reined.  But?  Peace isn't good for the Military Industrial Complex and "Defense" stocks. Maybe my age group is making money hand-over-fist in US "Defense" stocks so that makes them pro-war.  Cha-Ching!

Its just you.

 

The Reddit "UkraineWarVideoReport" is the place to go to see FPV drone footage, headcam combat, Russian soldiers being picked off one by one, Bradley-T80 engagements, executions, rotted corpses, roads of death, all of that, far stronger than in previous wars, if you are looking for that. Even some of Russian soldiers swinging around decapitated heads, if that's your thing.
