Yes, they are under blockade, now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are deciding how to destroy them

There are rumours of a contingent of Ruzzian soldiers, anything between 60 and 400, that seem to be trapped in the Kharkiv direction. This is the legacy of a plan that was such a poor idea by Putin that nobody could believe that they were actually trying it for real. Yet there it is, an stalled offensive, lots of killed and quite a bit of material destroyed all around Belgorod and now permission from US to strike inside Ruzzia as a bonus.

Some advice for Trump:

Sorry, I misread you. You did not post spam. My apologies, my comment was not adequate. I think was actually trying to answer to some other user  , there are sometime comments that come from people not read the thread (I mean, it is impossible, but at least some comments).

You are right, a martingale from Putin ends with zero. doubling the bet requires to have a bigger wallet than your opponents and that is not the case. Ukraine and allies simply have a bigger wallet. Some people would argue that Putin has a large nuclear arsenal, but I frankly think that if you have 200 nukes you do not need any more, the world is so destroyed by then that there is no "winner".

I don't understand your hostility. I'm on your side, mate. Being a gambler I said, from my own experience, that Putin's strategy of martingale is a desperate strategy and he will lose everything soon. What's wrong with that? (If you think that I posted that to spam for my sig campaign, you can check the rules for my campaign and see that posts in "Politics & Society" are not counted).

I think people who are standing against Putin's aggression should be more supportive to each other.

That's dumBAss parallel universe news, but meanwhile on planet earth...

So keep pushing the agenda. You already had to take a high-G manoeuvre when Trump stated that Ukraine is actually important for the US. You next 360 high-G is going to be when Trump decides that trying to weaken the US dollar is not only impossible, but vey likely to get him out of office (if he ever gets to office in the first place, which is nothing granted)

^^^ Don't have to buy USD on the black market. BRICS joined BIS (Bank for International Settlements). Now even Ukrainians can trade in Rubles - Ukraine banks to BIS to BRICS. The Ukraine/US/Nato government control in Ukraine is falling apart.

Not to mention the website that hold the account depository guarantees... this is looking like banks collapsing in Ruzzia so a "corralito" is on.


An agreement between the US and Ukraine was signed at G7, including the supply of squadrons of F16, supplies and further Patriot bateries. One squadron is 15 planes minimum, so this is as minimum 30 f16 plus supplies / ordinance.

On the economic front...

In other words, if you are Ruzzian, you would be buying usd in the black market. If you do deals not just with Ruzzia, but with someone subject to sanctions, you are under sanctions too.

If only there was an end to this madness, we need peace.

 I can fully agree with you that Ukraine needs better toilets - an many, many better other things. What would you choose to get there? (a) be under the Muscovian regime - which is not ever going to invest in Ukraine, but rather convert it in another territory to get mercenaries at a cheap or (b) Try  to be more like Poland - which joined the EU and got this:



I guess now you may understand what Ukraine is fighting for (hint: is not for toilets).

Moving on to news, the latest is about economic sanctions. These have now been increased in several ways:
- A shit-metric-ton of pressure on banks. Queues of people have been noted trying to get usd -  I do give relative value to this information, but the volatility of the Ruble vs usd is 10% in a day during the last week. This means uncertainty - some believe that sanctions are going to have a deep economic effect.

- The last G7 summit in Italy is a discussion on whether the interests of the Ruzzian frozen assets are going to fund Ukraine's war effort and pay the Ruzzian debt or if it is actually the Ruzzian frozen assets that will be partially confiscated. A figure of 50 Billion has been mentioned. To put it in perspective, this is one year of US aid on top of the existing aid.

These seems a bit more serious than what has been done to date, so I would say that the frog is getting further heated. I really hope that Putin has a very good measure of what is the breaking point - a rogue Ruzzia is not the best scenario for the world.

Edited to add: It seems Ruzzian banks are not offering exchange services in US and Euro and have stopped withdrawals. Moscow exchange down 15% in a day??


I see, this is the new theory then:

a) The western weapons do not exist.
b) The western weapons exist, but they are destroyed before reaching their positions.
c) The western weapons reach the positions, but "do not make a difference".
c) The wester weapons reach their positions, make a difference, but "do not work".
And the latest: (d) The western weapons work, but Ruzzia is so smart that they "only hit decoys". These decoys are so wonderful that they have radar emissions, leave tracks and have secondary explosions just as if they were real.

As an alternative hypothesis, the Ruzzia air defence is getting blasted systematically, possibly because Ukraine does not want to loose too many f16s.

What the hell i just read? Because i must have misunderstood that....

Are you saying that because of anarchy in Ukraine and absence of state, Ukrainians have toilets that have sewers? I suppose you think it's the anarchy that built their sewer infrastructure, and other infrastructure for the country? And why would you even need to try to assure that toilets from all the things aren't a good meter to measure "superiority"?

i suppose that we need more of that good old total chaos and anarchy that somehow also builds infrastructure.

Also, don't do drugs. (I feel that i need to say that).

There are simple figures - average monthly wage in Russia vs that in Ukraine - which was always higher in Russia. If you watch POW's interviews - people state their salaries, I envy them a bit.
There were simple cases - Ukrainians going to work to Russia right from western Ukraine, where they are definitely not pro-Russian anyway.

As for toilets? If somebody has a "better shitter" in Ukraine - it's not because of Ukraine, it's because of he has personally invested into having a more comfortable life. Why don't russians do that? Probably they expect it to be done by the state and not by themselves. Does this show Ukraine in any way superior? No. It only shows Ukrainians that are used to the fact of anarchy and effective absence of state power.

I can pinpoint you places in Kyiv (not the "outskirts") where there are no connections to sewers at all. So-called "private sector" (built during USSR mostly; perhaps some were rebuilt nowdays) - tens of meters from multi-floor buildings built during USSR and Ukraine rule has no sewer connection. The house I own in one of oblasts - has "central" water (built by local community) and natural gas (same case) and everyone has a "shit collector" of their own - with ordering of shit-transporter "barrel" periodically and stuff .

Russia's losses are huge, their military officers are constantly whining and crying about it in their chats

That is why this war has not ended. Ruzzia has all several reasonable options available to keep their pants on and there is not anything in particular that seems like a risk overturning the Moscowian's regime. That is by design - the frog can decide when is too hot.

It would be equally dangerous to allow Ruzzia to invade at will because they got nukes, as I am sure you understand perfectly, but at the same time try to ignore.

Some pictures of what happened in Crimea last nights (mostly Ruzzia Air defence blown by weapons that do not work).





Missiles hitting the anti-missiles. I sense that quality of Ruzzia air defence is going to be questioned worldwide.

Therefore, Putin poses a threat to the world with his nuclear weapons.

Wise man once said:

""Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring
an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear
age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy--or of a collective death-wish for the world.""

How do you think it will all end?

Just the sons of others. Tell me Branko, where is Putin's offspring (not just the official ones)? Where are the sons of the Kleptocrats studying? Hit: do not bother to look in the front.

The fact is that everyone knows what happens after an strategic nuclear strike. Keep the saber=rattling, is going nowhere.

Edited to add: However this night another air defence system seems to have been taken down in Crimea. I wonder why so many strikes are going to the air defences during this last month or so.

Today there is a video of a drone jamming equipment being hit by ... a Ukrainian drone.

There are rumors about huge numbers of decoys/false targets that Russia deployed, but both
sides keep shut about it, Russia because they want to continue Ukraine to waste precious weapons,
and Ukraine out of embarrassment and of course for PR effect


We don't know, you tell us...you're only one claiming Putin is killing Russians around the globe all the time, so why would he
suddenly be hesitant?

do you think Ruzzia would be attacking Ruzzia and killing the sons of their own elite kleptocrats? Or did you think they study at "Peter the Great " Politechnical.

A while you are confused about Ruzzian weapons systems, and where these are aiming and its intended use - oh my naïve Texan-Chinese friend who has "nothing to fear from Putin" - there seems to be a significant case of people smoking in Moscow in the wrong place.

An SU-34 crashed in Osetia. Many causes are possible, but aircraft usually require good maintenance and are limited in the hours they can fly safely.

BTW, just so you know France and the UK do have a nuclear arsenal. You knew this right?

The UK is way too slow. By the time they get anything done, Putin will have launched his Satan II missile(s), and cause a great tsunami that will destroy the UK islands with a gigantic tidal wave... or two - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=satan+2+tsunami++missile&ia=web.

One would think that UK people would be a little more humble.
