Russia & Ukraine

[TreeFrogTrader]

Seeing that multiple French firms are bypassing sanctions to ship technology and arms to Russia -- the lack of support by France for Ukraine is hardly surprising. The EU needs to put these French clowns in their place.

Germany has been dildo-ic as well.

They resisted sending anything other than helmets for a long time. Still will not send Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

All those European countries fell into relying on NATO to be their army. But part of Nato's strength was supposed to be that each country would bring big strength to the Nato. Gets to be a circle jerk if the big strength they are bringing to nato is nato.

And we know who funds nato.

"For a certain period of time, things won't be easy for us. We shouldn't be expecting good news right now," said Vladimir Solovyov, the most prominent presenter on state TV.

I just think that Ukraine winning this war is a leftist fantasy.

that's what is happening right now, in case you didn't notice.

and it is without alternative, actually.

the free world is - for good reason - absolutely determined to cure this russian pain in the ass once and for all.

whatever it costs.

putin will disappear.

"Today, in Nyzhnia Duvanka near Svatove, some Buryats were blown up, and parts of their bodies are now hanging on trees. Apparently, they were smoking somewhere they shouldn’t have. Or should have.

The mood [among the Russians - ed.] is panic. They are shocked at the speed of the Ukrainian soldiers’ counteroffensive."

vodka + smoking

... no good

Russia claims they will start taking out commercial satellites if they are using in any manner to support Ukraine. Well I hope they have the hundreds of necessary space missile weapons needed to do this.

Russian official says civilian satellites may be “legitimate” military target
Russia wasn't happy about Starlink providing broadband in Ukraine after invasion.

More panic on Russian TV - for your viewing pleasure. Apparently to "win" they need to restructure everything - industry, army, mass media. Good luck.

Another hilarity from that rant: On one hand, "All of Ukraine is with us" and at the same time "the enemy outnumbers us 5 to 1". Clings to the "their losses compared to ours are 7:1" which is clearly absurd, but the propagandists don't care. It's the big lie technique.

.. and a bit more: "Of course I want censorship. Like in China". "We have to close everything, forbid everything, censor everything"

Germany says it would leave Germany unprotected.

Needless to say, Ukraine argues that stopping Putin in Ukraine IS protecting Germany without Germany even having troops in the field.
