Topic: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] - page 98. (Read 73604 times)

Glad you're having fun. In the article by Simon Schuster, Zelensky is presented as an inadequate madman, divorced from reality, who imagines himself to be a messiah who must save Europe and the whole world from the Russian threat. It kind of reminds me of Hitler in the bunker, giving orders to his now defunct troops as the Russians approach Berlin. In the context of Zaluzhny’s interview, who admitted the failure of the counter-offensive and the lack of understanding of how to win this conflict, all this looks very shitty for Ukraine.

LOL, here we go again with wet dream about taking Kyiv
With such kind of articles it seems that someone is trying to destabilize situation inside Ukraine that heads of country of army would start to look for enemies among each other. And again we see attempts to push idea of peace talks with Russia. There is also talks that Ukraine should hold president elections next year in war conditions and seems that Arestovich already started his elections campaign.
Fact that less US people support sending weapons to Ukraine is normal thing IMO. War is going one for more than 1.5 years and people  got war fatigue, what is probably normal reaction, especially when you're thousands km from frontline and when war in Israel is getting more attention is Western edia now.

You're right. If this article contains at least half the truth (and it was essentially written by Zelensky’s court journalist, who is inclined to smooth out corners and embellish reality) - Ukraine is absolutely fucked, and Russia’s capture of Kiev is only a matter of time.

Of course there is nothing to worry about here. I think Ukraine has more than enough logistical problems with supplying its troops in Kupyansk, Seversk, Avdeevka and Rabotino to add logistical problems with supplying any large-scale group in the Kherson region on the left bank of the Dnieper.

The first is that his country is actually receiving much less media attention. For the past month, international attention has been drawn away from his war to another.

Ah right, this vote was about taking away US's right to self determination, how silly of me not to see it that way. But, only now even if we follow your silly logic we have an even more inconvenient question to answer, why would the whole world vote for taking US's right to self determination away? But something is telling me that you won't answer this, it's inconvenient to have people with critical thinking that follow logic ask such difficult questions, a good tactic would be to become more arrogant and offensive, anything to draw attention away from the question. Or perhaps ask a rhetorical question back, for example like, why do you think a country would want to trade with a global hegemony and printer for global reserve currency (when they always have an option to starve). And the fact that anyone who touches global reserve currency (USD) falls under this unilateral embargo and can get sanctioned, and the shortages of food and medicine in Cuba are all just unfortunate coincidences, right? Perhaps they should hire you to reeducate the world population with your boundless depth of knowledge?

Comrade, you got tangled up in the verbal diarrhea of your righteous anger. Trade implies mutual "self determination" to engage in said trade, and the US used its "right to self determination" to not trade with Cuba. Perhaps you should ask yourself why is it that Cuba (and most countries for that matter) wants to trade with the US so much, and not with e.g. Russia, the richest country in the world.

Also there is no "blockade".

And it has nothing to do with Putin's invasion into Ukraine but nice try at deflection.

what's Israel got to do with Cuba that it has the entitlement to vote against? and there's one who abstains lol Ukraine for christ sake. what trading do they have with Cuba?  the country has been blocked for more than 50 years and presumably, there is no way that the government of Cuba gonna be friendly to the US in any way which will surely be trading with China and Russia. Castro still pays the price even after his death. 

Russia is moving forward according to some news, jesus they are pushing it all. does it look like Israel is taking Gaza while Russia is taking Ukraine, fair deal?

Oh, sure, if your narrative about the article is right the Ruzzians will be in Kiev in three days. Again. And then they will do a few gestures of goodwill, and then reduce the "scope",... sure we know the drill.

I am not trying to get any reaction on the dnipro crossing, I am just stating that there is Ukranian activity in the East bank and there is video footage of fight, shelling and the usual things that happen when people cannot reach a peaceful agreement on what belongs to who. If you think it is not important, then it is not important. Nothing to worry about.

independent nation of Cuba should have the right to self determination and be able to trade with the rest of the world without blockades

Ohh the irony, once again the whole world overwhelmingly votes against US Cuba embargo. As usual US and Israel voted against that, but only now we also have a new absentee. Care to guess who abstained to vote if an independent nation of Cuba should have the right to self determination and be able to decide who they trade with for themselves? The double standards are off the charts

You have been consistently pushing this fantastic story of Ukraine crossing the Dnieper for several months now, apparently trying to achieve some kind of reaction. Well, you achieved it, here it is - Ukraine’s crossing of the Dnieper is a pathetic media attempt to sweeten the bitter pill of disappointment from a failed counter-offensive and nothing more. There is no meaningful reason or technical feasibility to undertake any large-scale efforts to cross the Dnieper. Stop fantasizing about this topic, this is just the usual petty fuss of sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

I hope that on your part this is just a ridiculous attempt to distract the audience’s attention from really important and key areas. Because if you are sincere and this is truly your best hope for success, then your despair is even deeper than the current situation in Ukraine really deserves.

Just wow, think this is by far the most damning article I've read (exactly when i was expecting the opposite, some typical rosy propaganda). It'd be hard to imagine even gloomier outlook. 59% of Americans are against sending more weapons to Ukraine and increasing fast, Ukraine is out of options but Zelensky is delusional and feels betrayed by "West". US acts dumb and asks Ukraine what will happen if they'll stop providing aid., Ukraine was giving their lives for US money, but that's not enough now. Military commanders are refusing even direct orders by the president, there's not enough weapons, but even if by some miracle UA gets more weapons there's just not enough soldiers to man them, recruitment nearly ground to a halt, US is using corruption in UA to shift the blame and now just directly tells UA who to fire. Feeling the end is near, government officials are stealing like there's no tomorrow (which for them there might not be). On top of all that UA is also now loosing media war with headlines dominated by middle east. Thus now Ukraine aid doesn't stand a chance in Washington  

Update from the dnipro banks: it seems that there is certainly a mid-sized operation ongoing to cross the dniper in several points. Nothing to be scared of, just adjusting ownership of a few square kilometers of land, very close to Crimea and not covered by the so called "Surovikin line". It must be going well for Ukraine, because the local military chief psycho has been replaced with another psycho. The cannot fire the team, so they fire the coach.

Really?

""Ukrainian nationalists, often still cherished by the current authorities of this country, committed genocide, we simply need to face this truth. These facts are denied by the Ukrainian society. This is not a good page in the history of Ukraine. Russia will always want Ukraine and Poland quarrel, Ukraine must come to terms with its past." - says the Deputy Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Jarosław Sellin. "

I guess link is removed because it followed official CIA narrative?  

Casualties of the Ruzzian army are not in the range of 150k but in the range of 300k. If you wait for tomorrow add between 600 and 900 more.

Ukraine officials are stating the obvious, the message is not "we got it wrong" (that is an interpretation, biased as usual) the message is that they are fighting with a country that has lots of people and a regime that is ok letting them die and a society that is ok accepting such regime so they need the right level of support from their allies.

Ukrainian officials are being straightforward with their allies and supporters and they certainly need to be straightforward: either you provide proper help or Ruzzia will eventually be knocking at your own doors or, for the US, you will be dragged into a cold war that is far more expensive than supporting Ukraine.

US people and some others are failing to realise that the alternative of peace, as of now, is not a real alternative, all that will happen is that Ruzzia would start preparing the next invasion in 5 years time, maybe less. That is not peace is just a pause to get their breath, recruit another 250.000 poor bastards from the poorest regions and send them to the next meatgrinder to capture city XYZ.

When you are a mid-size country fighting a large-size country, the strategy is to be "too expensive" or "not worth it". Ukraine has shown to be quite expensive to invade and I am not sure you can class the current holdings of Ruzzia as "worth it", I mean, half of the arsenal of soviet era stuff is now recyclable rust. Putin & the Psychos do not care for the soldiers, that has been made clear, but they may actually care for the gear they have left.

Now on the US support for aid. While support (this month, in October it was in good health at 65%) has been reduced, the majority of democrats, that will decide if Biden gets another chance, do support Ukraine, so the usual Washington trade-offs will progress as usual and eventually some form of aid will go to Ukraine. The F-16 training is ongoing, the shipments are ongoing... Ukraine should have a winning hand, but at least they do have a fighting chance.

BTW, how many spare artillery and shell does North Korea have? You know that due to the meat tactics, Ruzzia cannot be in the offensive unless they have a ridiculously large supply of shells. It could perfectly happen that the supply is just not enough.
