You are mistaken, the promise not to expand NATO to the east is not a fantasy and there is documentary evidence of this.

Maybe in BADeckerville.

In the real world that "we won't expand NATO" promise is a fantasy, it doesn't exist.  Just like the whole "tHeY aRe CoMiTtIng GeNocIdE!11!!" bullshit.

The loader of a t-60 is in a hot seat



I don't think they're brothers anymore. Not after all the atrocities committed by Russians on the Ukrainian soil. It's one thing to invade, but another to shoot fleeing civilians, rape women and children, bomb train stations full of refugees and so on. There's not going to be any love between these countries for decades.

Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if the US hadn't gone back on its agreement to not expand Nato, and if they hadn't pushed Ukraine into harming their own people and some Russians as well.

The war won't have happened if Russia didn't invade Ukraine.

Poor Putin being bullied by evil NATO... except instead of standing up to the bully he's trying to beat up his "brother". Russian family values.


Because Russia is still a threat as proven comprehensively by this invasion and all the other shit it's done since the collapse of the USSR.


Because it has a demented wannabe-dictator who wants to rebuild the Soviet empire and NATO is kinda in the way.

Deploying nukes to any border is nothing more than sending a political message, considering (all?) countries with nuclear weapons have the ability to stick them to the top of the missile that can fly to any part of the world. Hence the name "intercontinental". To be fair, NATO was formed to secure peace in Europe, countering the threat posed at the time by the Soviet Union. Why would such pact continue not only to exist, but to evolve AND spread eastward to Russia's borders past the Soviet Union collapse? Can you comprehend why Russia doesn't like that?

The war won't have happened if the US and some western countries have kept to their promise of not expanding NATO towards Russian borders. And moreover, both Ukraine and Russia are brothers, just in arms. Russia is simply trying to survive hostile NATO policies.

I recently saw a video of Prygo speaking about the forces of Ukraine, as he believed they were positioned or wanted the world to believe he knew... Information supplied by the enemy is always dis-information. No real exceptions. However, you may infer what they known and do not know because there is a torrent of subtle information in the mis-information about the psychology of the enemy.

RE tanks and supplies, it is not even about the big numbers, but also about the quality. It is not the same to use proper ultra-high-tech components fresh from a Raytheon manufacturing facility than to dis-assemble a North Korean washing machine and fit the engine regulator to the hydraulic system of your T-60 turret. Yes, the T-60 is still a tank, but has no chance against even older ATs not to mention a newer generation tank afresh from Germany or US.

What would you prefer, be the loader of a T-60 in a group of 5 tanks or the gunner of a single Abrams facing them? What if this happens at night?


I got a pic of one of those battalions training!!

Since when you believe what mr Prigozhin says?

The drama in this war is getting ridiculous.  It was what like 2 days ago it was looking like Ukraine was going to have to give up on Bakhmut?

Tanks may not disappear entirely (they do make a hundred or so T90s a year), but there is already a significant shortage even with the T62s and T55s being unpickled. First Ukrainian sources started reporting a few months ago that Russians are creating entire infantry battalions equipped mostly with transports (often not even armored vehicles but crap like "buhanka") and throwing those at the front line. Basically "meat". Now even Russian "voyenkors" are whining about it so it's mostly likely true.

Then you have tactical geniuses like the one who decided to attack Vuhledar and they lose half of their annual tank production in one battle.

Here's what you said 52 weeks ago:

And now tell that NATO escalates conflict not Russia. There no talk that nuclear weapons can be deployed in Finland or Poland and now Russia first deploy it to the border with NATO. BTW, if they want to fear out Finland, it really makes much sense to deploy intercontinental missiles there.

Missiles, yeah, it's not endless thing and considering that they don't make such massive attacks against Ukraine like they used before may be indicator that they can't produce it enough. But tanks, it won't end anytime soon. Recently they took out T-54/55 from storages (post WW2 tanks). Estimated numbers that they had 500-600 such tanks in reserve and storages. What's next? T-44 and T-34?

There is another option, and it seems a likely option: Until the RF can no longer produce the volume of weaponry and supplies that this war requires. The numbers are really big, and it is not only about the soldiers dying for nothing, it is also about the shells, drones and, believe it or not, tanks that are being lost.

Incredible as it seems, the RF may actually run out of tanks, but even earlier of missiles and, and this is critical, of artillery supplies.

That is quite ironic if we keep in mind the number of times that opposition leaders in Russian happened to be poisoned out of no where.
Still, keeping that to one side, I have also read that Putin keep his personal distance from anyone and during official visits he has his own private portable bathroom out of fear of someone getting samples of his excrement for God knows what purpose.

Very paranoid, the kind of thing we should have expected from a former soviet spy with many enemies around the globe.

What you don't get is that pravda propaganda is aimed against Russia, not us. And moving some rockets around is not any kind of significant tactical move especially against nato. They just want to be seen as doing something so they move some rockets and trucks. That's supposed to be signaling Russians as a show of some sort of strength. It's empty muscle flexing for anyone who understands Russian point of view. Meanwhile whole west is facepalming to this nonsense. They can't do anything about Finland joining NATO, they just wish they could.

First of all I couldn't find a better name for the "disease" killing oligarchs like flies. It is the so called:



The number is shrinking rapidly. I am too lazy to list the countless sources here stating ridiculous stories of how all those people coincidentally fall out of windows, have a stroke, fall off the third floor in a hotel, kill their entire families and then themselves, etc.

But all of these cases have one thing in common besides being statistically unrealistic (if not impossible), as we are talking about a tiny, tiny, tiny subset of society experiencing excess mortality such that the odds to win the lottery is countless times higher. They have in common that they criticized Putin. Putin denies that he has anything to do with it, of course he does. That's the point of his strategy.

To the Putin fans here, what would you say if 38 of the most important people (sometimes including their families) die in the USA after they criticized Joe Biden? When the Crimea was annexed, 38 died between 2014 and 2017.

Now, at least from what is publicly known, another 32 have died, some are in prison and are probably going to die as well like Igor Shkuroko just 3 days ago.

There is only one cure to the "Sudden Russian Death Syndrome": don't criticize the psychopath Putin and do whatever he wants even without him asking you. If you don't you get a mysterious disease or you "commit suicide" because you started hating your boring oligarch life.

The coincidences are so ridiculous and Putin is killing all over the planet. It is disgusting to read that he is even willing wives and daughters and sons at child age.

To the Putin trolls: where is the line for you guys that you would say "ok, can't be coincidence, and it is ugly what the psychopath is doing"? Would you even do that in case you realize it must be true? (no worries, you wouldn't realize)

If someone likes seeing Russian forces having their asses kicked in the field here's a long but satisfying video showing a large group of Russian soldiers trying to attack a trench held by a handful of Ukrainians.

There's news that Putin is sending Nukes to Belarus while his mouthpieces say that the West is trying to escalate the war.
I haven't seen any NATO nukes being moved to positions, so Putin makes the first move but it's all our fault.

Apparently Putin is afraid of covid. One of his personal guards fled Russia and gave an interview. If you want to meet with Putin you need to be in quarantine for 2 weeks and he refuses to take any vaccine out of fear of being poisoned 

Oh, so you're from Finland? Of course, I don’t particularly delve into the ups and downs of the internal political struggle in your country, I’m simply not interested. From the outside, this whole story with joining NATO looks like Finland was thrown hard through the dick. Moreover, Sweden prudently moved off the topic, with the help of some ridiculous actions to burn the Koran. And Finland suddenly found itself at the forefront of the universal struggle for democracy and other pederastic values against the huge and terrible Russia, which immediately redeployed Topol-M mobile complexes to Vyborg. Well, good luck.

I have repeatedly said that time in this story works for Russia, it is strange that you yourself have not understood this yet.
