A "yes UA's goal is still to take back Crimea" would suffice, so do you personally agree with the "even though we lived fine up to 2014, we're now going to suicide everyone in order to prove a point to the world of just how bad Putin is" strategy? After RU escalates with mobilization and US backs off and doesn't make any new significant military aid commitments to the UA, what exactly is the point of sending UA military to the front lines? Is it to become a bigger victim?

No.

Have you considered that people who can remember and compare Donetsk before and after the coup came to town and replaced their duly elected president (who they overwhelmingly voted for) might care too? But i guess that's where you say if they didn't resist and accepted the coup they'd be totally fine?

Yanik's resignation didn't ruin Donetsk, the Russian invasion (2014 and even more so 2022) did. You need to clarify your point here if you have one. Reposting Kremlin propaganda in the form of loaded questions doesn't make it any more valid.

So you agree that Soviet leadership was fully diversified and represented with different nationalities all the way to the top. So Soviet famine that killed millions of Russians under non ethnically Russian leader is not that leader's nation fault, yet famine that killed millions of Ukrainians under non Russian leaders i still somehow Russia's fault?

You're the one bringing up "leader" nationality. I'm saying it means jack shit, it's the fucked up Russian/Soviet regime that caused this and it makes sense that Russia's neighbors (other than ones with their own wannabe dictators like Belarus' potato fuehrer) don't want any of that. Which part of it is still too difficult for you to understand?


Oh Yanukovych just resigned now did he? Is that how Ukrainian school books are being rewritten now, were the other alternatives "he just left on a very long vacation" and "he went out to get a pack of cigs"?

Everything was fine, Yanukovych resigned to pick up a pack of smokes and then Russian orcs showed up? No one could possibly predicted that majority that elected him could be a bit unhappy about that.
 
Just like i guess it must take some kind of a genius to predict that further escalations risk to destabilize EU altogether?

EUs 3rd economy becoming "euroskeptic" with "neo-fascist" roots, people might start asking questions soon, think majority would eat up that Putin did it as well? I guess US elections in November already have Putin written all over them?

If i may quote myself from May

...
Ahh the, you default because i won't accept your payment, logic. I'm not sure if USD can be militarized anymore than this, so they decided to totally kill USD as a global reserve currency, how much of the US debt do they expect China to buy up after such antics? US cannot run on balanced budget especially now, so Yellen will need to force EU (Germany/France) to start propping up USD at the cost of EUR. USD/EUR parity incoming. Scholz and Macron are set up to be played hard, guess that's why they're running around the way they do

Euro is now bellow parity hit $0,96 today, and GBP is about to hit parity, got down to $1,0373 the other day. So now USD is up over 30% against GBP since U.S. delivers written response to Russian demands amid Ukraine crisis...as Washington continues to pursue diplomacy aimed at diverting a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. yes diplomacy at its best indeed.

So at first there was a claim that RU is not allowing civilians to leave Mariupol before they take the city, logic being cause that's just what Orcs do  Huh

Then it gets better after claiming the following:
Quote
“Every Russian soldier who either shoots at the plant, or shoots using the plant as cover, must understand that he becomes a special target for our intelligence agents, for our special services, for our army,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an evening address on Saturday.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/14/ukraine-targets-russian-soldiers-threatening-nuclear-power-plant.html

Quote
Ukrainian military officials have accused Russian forces of firing missiles from the plant’s grounds in Nikopol, just across the Dnipro River, using the plant’s vulnerability as cover.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/09/06/world/ukraine-russia-war

And of course
Quote
Russia ‘endangers the whole world’ with strike on nuclear power plant in Ukraine
https://nypost.com/2022/09/19/russia-endangers-the-whole-world-with-strike-on-nuclear-power-plant-in-ukraine/

Logic being because that's just what Orcs do? They take over a nuclear plant then shoot at it so they're forced to shut it down before winter starts


And just in case readers have any resemblance of brain cells or critical thinking left:
Quote
Biden, in contrast, told reporters at the White House that “if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, there will be no longer Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
Asked how he could be sure, since it would be officials in Berlin, not Washington, who would make the decision, Biden told a journalist: “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/07/ukraine-russia-scholz-biden-macron/

And now of course

Quote
Nord Stream pipeline blasts were likely from explosions, not earthquakes, seismologist says
https://www.foxnews.com/world/nord-stream-pipeline-blasts-likely-explosions-not-earthquakes-seismologist-says

Can't wait for coverage of Orcs blowing up their own pipelines which they stopped themselves. Logic being that's just what Orcs do? After stopping the gas flow, they blow up the pipeline to make sure they loose all of leverage over Germany for the winter

At least elected member of the European parliament and former Polish Defense Minister says how it is, before he's "shown the way" and claims hacks or a joke

Do not die for Putin
September 27, 2022, 05:28:25 PM
Meanwhile, the disconnect between the RF army chief Psychos and the diplomatic and civil side of the government is show again in the terrorist attacks against Nord Stream II.

My analysis is that Putin and the diplomatic arm could be thinking of selling gas to Europe while the Psychos are keen of breaking all ties an ensuring that it is not possible. Think of it, the RF does not need to blow the gas pipes to stop the supply. This is someone in the army making sure it cannot be back. There is certainly a fight in Moscow.

By now you must be aware that the "all powerful and glorious" RF Air Force is unable to do anything in Ukraine. Missiles are ok to destroy nurseries, commercial centres and the like but real military use requires precision not "precision". To put it plainly, the RF cannot raze anything to the ground. There was no option to "bomb" and instead the Junta took the non-decision of sequestering civilians and send them to die.
Bombing with high-explosive bombs was successfully used by Russia, in particular at Azovstal and near Kherson, where there is no threat to defeat civilians.

On regards to "synchronous"... funny that you mention that. The RF is absolutely unable to coordinate the deployment of 300k freshly recruited pretty much demotivated and unready poor bastards. Expect them to arrive late, unequipped, untrained, unmotivated, uncoordinated... This is the perfect recipe to destroy de population growth rate of the RF for the next 10 years.
Ukraine somehow coped with the task of mobilizing more than 800k civilians, Russia has a simpler task.

For Ukraine it is. They have been preparing since your Psychos and Orcs took Crimea and have plenty of help with training and supplies. RF has show their inability to hold supply lines beyond 200 km. I suspect many of these soldiers will desert out of mere hunger.



Yet here you are, still on phase 1 "denial".
I think you are too exalted by the local success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kharkov. Ukraine still has no chance in confrontation with Russia.

Why did Putin not close the borders? Perhaps the damage would have been excessive or perhaps this is designed to send abroad anyone who might actually dissent with the Psychos Junta.
What for? Russia has a multiple greater mobilization resource than Ukraine, it's okay if some people go abroad, it's their choice.


Are you aware that there is a 19 mile long queue in the Mongolian and Georgian borders? It seems it is not "some people", it is kind of "a lot of people". And make no mistake, these are not precisely the poor sods that have little skills and do not have enough to fly, these are the qualified professionals you need to run a country.

There is difference between the number of people living in RF and how many can you mobilise for a war that is not threatening the country before the depose Putin and the Psychos - probably in a very expedite way, like in the Menshevik revolution.



...

Biden didn't do anything. Big Money used all kinds of vote/election fraud to do it. And we see the results, below. But big money doesn't care. And loads of Dem-tards don't understand, even after they are living in the streets.

...

And somehow managed to do so without any evidence to be found by all the Trumpists, with even members of the Republican party stating on-record that they were being pressed to lie about the result, Mike Pence part of it!, with even Trump close family speaking of an actual conspiracy by Trump to cheat, with recorded evidence of a President of the United stated calling for violence, with recorded proof of armed groups, with security officers killed in the Capitol while Trump stood silent and sent no one to protect the temple of the US democracy. It is shameful for the US and it is not politics or partisanship, it goes well beyond.

As I have said many times, it would require so many people to be in a conspiracy that it would actually be more than half of the Americans - which would then would not require to do anything but just voting.

Anyway, you kind of believe that you can lie of confuse your way out of any situation, so I am not going to insist, it is not worth any more time.

If I were Putin and wished to 1) make a big statement, and 2) respond in kind to infrastructure sabotage, I certainly wouldn't even consider low-yield nukes.  Not even for the purposes of doing and EMP.

What I would do would be to start sweeping up satellites.  Russia is certainly no stranger to work in space.  It's always seemed to me that simple nets should be able to do the job to one degree or another.  My initial vision is to just have a device that rotates and feeds out a net which looks very much like a spider web.  Weights on the radial cords and the spin to open them up.  Deploy them on a vector which would converge with the computed path of the target satellite.  Wouldn't be much different than fishing the ocean, and the eco-tards assure us with confidence that almost all the fish are gone because of us bad bad humans and our destructive tendencies.

Probably Russian sats would be targeted as one (of many) responses, but when all is said and done Russia will probably be able to put up new ones more competitively.  Rocket fuel takes a lot of energy to produce after all.  In the mean time it seems pretty clear that the loss of space assets would dis-proportionally degrade the more 'advanced' militaries.  Use of nukes for anyone would hugely tarnish one's reputation worldwide for a long long time.  Inconveniencing people who just want to do a little porn surfing on their Viasat collaterally damaged connectivity is kind of a different story.



I recommend you double the dose of what you are currently taking. Your current dose does not lessen your symptoms.

You probably need a team of top-notch Norwegian psychiatrists, one will not do.

I'm sure tvbcof would thank you for your experience with Norwegian psychiatrists, if he wasn't so busy gathering more info about what is going on in the world. You might try that sometime... gathering more info rather than being nipple fed.

^^^ Maybe rocket fuel is the reason Russia cut off gas to Europe. They are converting it to rocket fuel for the low-yield nukes, so they can take out individual HIMARS without harming the land with large amounts of radiation.

Oops! Accidentally hit a bunch of Ukraine Nazi soldiers.

There is good phrase that you shouldn't understimated your enemy. These drones might be slow and very loud, but so far they have done some significant damage. They fly at low altitude and missile defense systems can't detect them. It's possible to shoot it down with Stingers, but I seen video from Odessa where they are trying to shoot it down with machine guns.

Inflation under Biden, Democrats costing Americans more than $11,000 a year per household


Yes, that extra pinch you are feeling in your bank account and checkbook at the end of the pay period is real.

Thanks to the inflationary spikes under our fake president, Joe Biden, and a Democrat-controlled Congress, Americans are paying a lot more for their basic necessities than they were a year ago — like $11,500 more, according to a new analysis.

According to a study by NerdWallet that was published in August, Americans have to spend that much more today than they did in 2020 if they want to maintain the same standard of living, The Epoch Times reported.

The firm’s analysts said that 2020 was the “last full year when inflation was relatively stable” — around 1.23 percent. Last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the inflation rate stood at 8.3 percent, down from a June high of around 9.1 percent.

Inflation has been above 5 percent for more than a year, according to BLS stats. And it’s been above 8 percent since March.



“In all of 2020, American households spent $61,300, on average,” the analysts wrote. “This number includes everything we spend our money on housing, food, entertainment, clothing, transportation, and everything else. In 2022, it stands to reach $72,900, a difference of more than $11,500 if consumers want to maintain the same standard of living.”

The analysts also said the annual cost is just an average estimate, and therefore, one that’s “exact to a very few.”

“Those who earn (and therefore spend) more will see more dramatic dollar increases. Those who earn less may see less dramatic dollar jumps, but the impact of these rising prices could be more significantly felt,” they noted.

The Epoch Times went on to note:

According to analysts, total monthly household expenditures are up by $961 from 2020, while spending on groceries is up by $101. Shelter is up by $120 and household utilities are up by $70 per household, while gasoline has risen by a whopping $209.

They are called Geran-2 and have recently been actively used to strike at military infrastructure in Ukraine, in particular in Odessa. Drones are slow, loud, cheap (compared to cruise missiles), not homing (working at given coordinates), and yet they seem to be quite effective, Ukrainian air defense cannot do anything with them.

^^^ Putin doesn't want to harm Ukraine. He simply wants to kick NATO and the US out. But he wants to do it without hurting the people of Ukraine.

It's a difficult thing that Putin is trying to do. The Ukrainian people tried to do it, but couldn't. So, they appealed to Russia. So, how do you get rid of the Zelensky coup which was set in place by the US and NATO, all the while protect the average people?

What Putin really needs to do is set a date. Announce it to the Ukrainian people. They have to move out of Ukraine by this date. Then, after all the people who are going to move out have done so, totally obliterate what is left of Ukraine... with nukes if necessary.

Then start over, with the people moving back to their lands that are no longer controlled by the US.

Partial mobilization in Russia is a symmetrical response to mobilization in Ukraine.
Ukraine has been mobilizing since February.
Symmetrical does not mean synchronous.

I do not see the prerequisites for mass mobilization in Russia; professional military personnel are doing their job quite well.

At what point do you realize that you're being fed lies?

Russia has a huge excess of natural resources and the most combat-ready army in the world
Even now I do not consider mobilization in Russia necessary. I think Putin had a choice in response to the mobilization in Ukraine - start mass bombing or increase the size of his group. Personally, I would prefer to raze Kyiv to the ground, but fortunately for you, I do not make decisions on this issue.

By now you must be aware that the "all powerful and glorious" RF Air Force is unable to do anything in Ukraine. Missiles are ok to destroy nurseries, commercial centres and the like but real military use requires precision not "precision". To put it plainly, the RF cannot raze anything to the ground.

Meanwhile it seems more and more likely that Putin is about to embarrass himself yet again, and cause the unnecessary death of thousands of innocent people that never wanted to be involved, yet again,  by trying to mobilize Russians (and Ukrainians lol) to join his military that already suffers from low morale to fight a war they aren't allowed to call a war.

Quote
Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to overcome fundamental structural challenges in attempting to mobilize large numbers of Russians to continue his war in Ukraine. The “partial mobilization” he ordered on September 21 will generate additional forces but inefficiently and with high domestic social and political costs. The forces generated by this “partial mobilization,” critically, are very unlikely to add substantially to the Russian military’s net combat power in 2022. Putin will have to fix basic flaws in the Russian military personnel and equipment systems if mobilization is to have any significant impact even in the longer term. His actions thus far suggest that he is far more concerned with rushing bodies to the battlefield than with addressing these fundamental flaws.

Western Europe will probably be hit even harder, though in a different way.  Putin gave these idiots more than enough opportunity to live in peace and prosperity, but they insisted on flying moth-like into the Ziocon flame over and over again.  And now it's too late.

At what point do you realize that you're being fed lies?

Russia has a huge excess of natural resources and the most combat-ready army in the world
Even now I do not consider mobilization in Russia necessary. I think Putin had a choice in response to the mobilization in Ukraine - start mass bombing or increase the size of his group. Personally, I would prefer to raze Kyiv to the ground, but fortunately for you, I do not make decisions on this issue.
