All things Russia and Ukraine...

Self delusion is not an uncommon human trait Kai...Man's insecurity is legendary, as is the resultant destruction it causes...
Aryan's are blonde and blue eyed!
What a f##ken joke...

 

It is kinda weird. We were on holiday in Greece when I was 12-years old and had all-white hair. All the locals wanted to touch my hair. I felt like a King as everybody was staring at me.

 

Haha…now that reminds me…My Mother was a nurse working at (the old) Darwin Hospital…She went back to work only a day or two after giving birth to me. One morning she went down to the nursery to see me and I wasn’t there! She looked everywhere and asked everyone where I was! She then looked out of the window and off in the distance was a group of Aboriginal women sitting in a circle under a tree…She could see them passing a bundle around…Hot footing it out there she came across me being passed around the group…I had a big shock of white hair…The Indigenous women thought I was an old man reborn…Something they had never seen before.

 

Death of any living being is saddening.
But what I've heard today is deeply tragic:

43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives.

May Lord have mercy upon their souls.

 

Do you really believe the casualty figures on either side?

We aren't going to find out exactly or even close to it how many casualties of all kinds there are until the war is well and truly finished.

To show you how difficult it is, experts still disagree on how many people were hurt or killed in World War 2, and the figures from the Soviet Union are still in dispute, let alone China or Eastern Europe or Yugoslavia.

Casualty figures published while the conflict is still going on are always suspect, so don't be fooled

 

Indeed, Fake News. Empire of Lies is behind everything. They know exactly that Ukrainians and Russians are very similar if not the same. They don't give a stuff anyways. For them Ukrainians are perfect cannon fodder to weaken Russia. So why not push Ukrainians to die for "Western Democracies". They are perfect scrapyard for obsolete weapons that will be delivered to Ukraine.
But, if you investigate the whole game you may find that the real target is Europe. Europe is now just a pile of weakened vasal states deprived from access to energy and raw materials. The EU is not governed from Bruxelless but from 1000 Colonial Farm Road, Langley, Fairfax County, Virginia.

 

You do realize that is almost double what the Russian defense minister claimed 5 days ago.
He only claimed 23,000.

 

Swan dive into an empty pool again?

If the CIA controls Europe, then it is not the target...Duh.

If Europe is a pile of weakened vassal states, it is not worth controlling. Let the Russians have it free of charge, so that Russia collapses even faster...Duh.

This class, is the reason why you only dive into pools filled with water...It causes brain damage.

 

KAI....

Then WW3 is a poor recreation of WW1. In the latter, you have just two belligerent countries (the Austro-Hungarian empire and Serbia) that want to square off. But doing so will bring in a big brother to the fore (Russia.) So a jerk nation (Germany) sees this as an excuse to start the war it has always wanted (against France, UK, and of course Russia.)

Well so far Russia is playing the role of Austro-Hungary and the Ukraine is a very strong Serbia. But people think Russia will also double as Germany if the vassals and the US finally decide it's time to dive in. Nah, that won't play out. Russia in my opinion won't go beyond Ukraine. Western Europe and the US won't venture out to save it. Kuwait is one thing, Iraq is another. But massing and travelling more than a thousand miles to liberate something as big as Ukraine, fighting against something even bigger, is not what NATO is geared up for.

 

Definitely. The article goes through the simple facts why we end all trade with the SU, also train passage or tourism. Oil, coal etc will now be bought elsewhere. Since 2014 the trade had gone down 50%, so it is easier just to Finnish the rest. Also the Russian planes are not allowed enter out air space. Threatening with war has been the same since 1945, so it is the same sh** from Kreml every day practically. This day was coming and now Russia shall reap the poor harvest.

 

The obsolete weapons from West seem to work quite beautifully. I don't know what Tamino is bubbling about. Was Moskva sank with obsolete weapons? In Youtube several Russian tanks and military vehicles get a straight hit with Javelin or drone marked rocket attacks.

 

So now they also have started getting heavy artillery and 'Katjusha' rocket vehicles.both sides must be tired, but Russian morale is ripped to shreds while Ukraine sees its chances ahead. And they fight for their country.

 

I happened to read through this topic while half-watching a documentary on Hitler's annexation and conquest of Czechoslovakia. It's weird how many parallels there are in the justifications invoked, though luckily for the Ukranians therevare fewer parallels in terms of military and political events.

One note, a Ukranian friend of mine pointed out why the Ukraine has so many 'Russian speakers'. It is exactly the same historical reason why the Scots, Welsh, Irish and Cornish primarily speak English.

 

It appears that the main question is: how fast are Russians in destroying the "gifts". Russians today have destroyed large terminal near Odesa with weapoons from the US. I don,'t know where they' ll send further deliveries when Russia takes Odesa?
