Russia - threadbanned users in OP

The Russians have been superb at asymmetrical warfare for the last twenty years, funding and supporting every contrarian fringe group and collection of useful idiots as part of their efforts to show division in the "West". And it's working.

That's an absolute f*ckin disgrace if true. We know what US persuasion will involve: either do what we say or we stop cooperating militarily.

And of course American economic interests always take precedence over so called commitment to human rights and democracy .

There's a lot of worrying background noise around Ukraine right now, I hope much will turn out to be unfounded rumour

Oil is always near the root of the problem. Isn’t that what fucked hitler, pushing to take the oilfields in the caucuses.

Related to US telling Ukraine stop bombing russia .. this

the last part I have been saying. Prepare for milliins more ukraine refugees. What we have had to date is a drop in the bucket. Also same from other states like moldova etc once putin defeats ukraine

Nonsense. If there is 1 thing that Biden does not want in an election year is rising oil prices.

They should bomb the railway in Kursk. That would knock out a lot of logistics for the whole country.

Really? Europe twiddled its thumbs?

"The European Union has given, on average, over $710 million (€650 million) per year to the country since 2014—almost twice as much as the United States average. The European Bank of Reconstruction and Development has given a similar amount..."

"Some of this military assistance has come through the European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) for support to the military and national security forces, which includes intelligence support, training and logistics support, and equipment (e.g., C2 systems; situational awareness systems; secure communications; military mobility; night vision; military medical treatment; maritime and border security operations; and defensive weapons systems). As of 2017, military assistance (outside of EDI) also includes the provision of lethal aid for defensive purposes, including the sale of U.S.-made Javelin antitank missiles and launchers to Ukraine."

Thats all pre 2019.

There's a war on, and military service is required. Anyone not prepared to fight and protect their Countries peace and security, deserves neither peace or security. Do a little research about Putins conscription methods, and the age old Russian military tradition of Dedovschina.. something that does not exist in the Ukrainian army.

I agree Boris incompetent, he is also corrupt…. But he is also reckless and I think he might put troops into Ukraine to live out his Churchill fantasy

It's interesting to see all those who were celebrating Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure now crying when the Russians hit back in kind.

......another orc celebrating PutZer's war

The west including US must be low on weapons to spare that is the only explanation. Biden is still in charge in the US he is still the President. They must be running dangerously low with potential conflicts in Taiwan on the horizon as well.

it would absolutely never be revealed just how low they are on weapons. And no where in the western world is anywhere near a war economy to sustain a war like this .
