  1. If you're winning a war, you don't ask for a 36-hour ceasefire, you keep winning. Unless you're losing, then you ask for a 36-hour ceasefire - Sun Tzu

  2. Its adorable when Russia plays parliament

  3. Wow, Chad, Russia and Uganda. The Allied Forces for Prosperity and Peace.

  4. Of course its an exaggeration. Maybe my pro-Russian friends and colleagues are too young to remember the Kherson counter-offensive, but Russian reports were saying the same thing; "Ukraine have suffered significant losses" "Ukraine have lost 4000 casualties in the first 3 days" "Ukraines counter-offensive has failed" "the hospitals were short on blood because there's so many Ukrainian casualties". Then as Ukraine made significant gains, the reports shifted to; "Russia are laying a trap for the Ukrainians" "Ukrainian troops are now surrounded" Then as Ukraine captured Kherson City, the reports said; "Russia tactically retreated and now have Ukraine right where they want them" So its the same as before. Ukraine will make significant gains and we will start hearing about how Russia tactically retreated to better ground, as though somehow retreating in an invasion war is a good thing. Just a pro-tip to my pro-Russian friends, Russia reports disinformation about Ukrainian casualties because they don't want their troops to surrender or retreat or lower their morale.

  6. Africa will continue to buy Russian because lets face it, they cant afford the top shelf stuff. But India, needs to re-evaluate its arms imports from Russia.

  7. To all my esteemed colleagues in the comments, lets pool together some cash and buy a message for ourselves. "from Crux comments section with love"

  8. The last time Ukraine increased their bombing of ammo depots, they went on two successful counter offensives

  9. A "Russian World" sounds absolutely horrible. I think it's safe to say that nobody wants to live like Russia. It's not exactly a system/place that people are drawn to

  10.  @educatedindian8018  Japan has the 4th largest navy in the world. It aint no puppy dog. If Japan having a larger navy than India, is a puppy dog, what does that make India?

  11. Solomon Islands will be the next Sri Lanka and will go broke all of a sudden and it will be a valuable lesson to the rest of the pacific Islands. They aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed and when a country like China shows a keen interest, they get all excited. Having said that, the previous Australian administration was apparently incompetent when it came to foreign relations

  12. Just for the record, there's no radioactive cloud heading towards Europe

  13.  @brandycat8513  Russia invaded Ukraine

  14.  @varvik4992  Come on Vatnik, Russia fared worse in Afghanistan. Not sure what your point is. The US toppled the Taliban government in a month, established a new government, democracy and a new constitution, supplied security for 20 years then left. Did you want us to stay there for another 20 years?

  15. Russia aspires to be perceived on equal footing with the US, harboring historical expectations of such parity. Nevertheless, the reality is different; Russia, by comparison, by all measures, does not stand as an equivalent counterpart to the US and the US' interactions with Russia have reflected this. Its nothing personal. The US does not apply uniform treatment to all nations. Instead, it differentiates its engagements based on the relative power and influence that a nation wields on the global stage. This dynamic underscores the core of its relations: Russia, does not possess the level of power and influence that would grant it equivalence with the US. Russia, perhaps nostalgic by its Soviet past, aspires to expedite its ascent to a status of peerhood with the US, despite being approximately one-third of the Soviets' size in several key areas. However, such aspirations should be tempered by the sobering reality that achieving this coveted status will necessitate decades of sustained effort. In contrast, countries like China and India, aware of the same international dynamics, adopt a more measured approach, waiting until they amass sufficient power and influence before pursuing endeavors commensurate with their ambitions. Russia's fervent pursuit of narrowing the power disparity with the US is hasty and pressured, driven by the constraints of time. Unlike political systems characterized by party continuity or democratic processes that foster long-term ambitions, Russia relies heavily on the leadership of a singular individual, Vladimir Putin. This political structure lends a sense of urgency to Russia's endeavors as Putin's aspirations are inherently constrained by the finite span of his own lifetime. The ambitious objective of achieving parity with the United States within Putin's tenure is, however, beset by inherent challenges that render it virtually unattainable within such a compressed timeframe. The complexities of global power dynamics necessitate sustained efforts over decades, a luxury that Putin does not possess. The cold, unemotional reality is, the US does not currently view Russia as its equal. This reflects the current state of affairs. Yet, should Russia successfully accumulate the requisite power and influence over time, it may ultimately find itself treated by the US on more equitable terms, much like the Soviet Union was. Until then, the US will continue to gauge its interactions with Russia in relation to its current standing, a status that falls short of equality, akin to its engagements with nations like North Korea or Iran. While Russia is undoubtedly a strong actor, it has yet to attain the status of an equal counterpart to the US on the world stage and they are very resentful about it. Putin cant complain, invade, cry and bemoan Russia to the top. That takes a long term strategic mission that Putin doesnt have the time for and he wants the glory before his time is up and thats never going to happen.

  16. Zelensky offered to meet with Putin one-on-one before the invasion. Putin refused. The US met with Russian officials pleading them not to invade. They invaded. A month into the war Macron met with Putin begging for peace negotiations, Putin refused. Two months into the war the UN Secretary met with Putin and tried to negotiate a peace deal, Putin refused. Two months into the war the Austrian President met with Putin seeking a peace settlement, Putin refused. 3 months into the war Ukraine offered to drop their bid to join NATO if they are guaranteed security, Putin refused. Ukraine said to Russia if they illegally annex Ukraine's lands they will refuse any peace deal, Russia illegally annexed Ukraine's lands. Ukraine have offered a 10-point peace plan, which includes simple provisions such as dont bomb our energy infrastructure, Russia refused. Russia have refused every single peace offer, every single peace deal, every single offer to negotiate. They dont want peace, they want Ukraine.

  17. If Hungary doesnt like NATOs direction or handling of this conflict they can leave the organization any time they want.

  18.  @DrDoomsd  Whos "we"?

  19.  @Leny1777  When are you hoping on the bus to the front lines?
    26
  20. lol 🤡
    26
  21.  @ihavetowait90daystochangem74  And what do you think Hungary is blocking Sweden for? just for kicks? or perhaps they want something out of it. Just like they "blackmailed" NATO accepting Finland and passing various other sanctions by demanding payment first. Hungary has to learn, either the easy way or hard way, that they are part of an alliance, not an alliance is a part of Hungary

  22.  @godmode5738  You mean its the other way around champ. Ukraine was a founding member of the Soviet Union. Ukrainians and Russian share the same ancestors in Kyiv. Half moved west into todays Russia, interbred with mongols and Turkic people and became Russia. The other half stayed around Kyiv. Ukrainians are more pure "Russians" than Russians and they lay claim to ukraine? Nah dont think so pal. Time for you to read its history
    25
  23. Let Putin flail and cry it out. If he didnt threaten nukes everyday we may have taking this threat seriously. Support for Ukraine continues and will continue until Russia leaves. He was told this before he invaded and he has been reminded each month for 11 months. He was offered many off ramps and peace deals and each time he chose to escalate. Now he finds out.
    25
  24. Its weird everything you said is complete garbage and misinformed, yet you speak with such assuredness, its embarrassing. Russia haven't made any significant gains for 2 weeks now, they are getting pushed back in some areas and they are making some gains in others, but it is very slow at best. Its not "moving around the country at will" and "attacking wherever it wants" and they don't have " Ukrainian forces in the East surrounded", as this is what they ultimately want but are unable at this time. "Ukraine can't do anything about it" Ukraine are currently engaged in a battle against Russia with both sides losing troops and equipment, they are doing something about it. Also western media and Zelensky have never said Ukraine is winning. I think its time for you to educate yourself, Robert, so next time you post something you wont look like a fool

  25. He allegedly stole Russian next gen technology from the plane. An old CB radio and a half used roll of duct tape

  26. lol "Joshua Paul" the amount of times you have said Ukraine has lost this war is amazing. You've been at this for 10 months now and Russia are moving backwards. Give it up man, youre not convincing anyone
    24
  27.  @PavolFilek  lol nothing will happen to the US, Pavvy. Calm down. The US Navy alone could sort Russia out in 2 weeks, let alone the US air force, which is 3 times larger, and the army. Just calm down and keep soldering your HAM radios man

  28. I thought most Eastern European countries celebrate their independence day by burning the Russian flag

  29. They have yet to sack the one man that counts

  30. They struck an abandoned building. Wow. And they didnt even hit the building lol
    23
  31.  @MRrealpolitik  US toppled the Taliban government in a month. Then occupied the country and only losing 2000 casualties in 20 years. Then left because occupiying it was pointless. Russia have lost 10s of thousands of casualties in just a few months. Mr Geopolitics, with a name like that youd think you would have some understanding of basic facts
    22
  32. Well thats the headline they chose. Another headline could be "Estonia to bolster its defensive capabilities amid an aggressive Russia". Id say thats more accurate. Being able to defend yourself isnt provoking Russia. It creates a balance of power, which is actually good news for Russia because this time they wont feel arrogant enough to invade their neighbor and get their arse handed to them. Peace for everyone.

  33. So a Russian soldier recovering in Hospital says when he woke up he was told he destroyed a leopard and was awarded a framed certificate with 10000 rubles written on it

  34. Someones jealous lol. Why cant the Greeks have nice things
    21
  35. But this is also Russia's problem. If they had bombed military structures instead of apartment buildings, shops and old ww2 pylons maybe they would have succeeded in this war.

  37. There are limits to the no limits friendship

  38. What people dont know about that cowboy hat Putin was wearing is its actually Shogu's hat. In those shots during their trip in Siberia the cameras were filming various shots and backdrops. Shogu and Putin were bathing in the ice cold river as a traditional siberian health rejuvenation technique to stimulate the bodies immune system. At one point Shogu wearing his cowboy hat invites Putin into his cabin for tea which Putin obliges, they both went in but the cameras stayed outside. 30 minutes later they both came out with Putin's fly undone and wearing shogu's cowboy hat

  39.  @sedemtettey8914  The last thing Russia wanted or needed was to be in a prolonged and protracted war. He's in one, he cant get out of it unless he withdraws, he wont do that because that makes Russia look weak and incompetent. Which we already know they are. But his people still cling to the idea that he knows best and withdrawing will be the end of him. So he is stuck. Its a fail

  40.  @mahir9076  And this makes you happy? Why does innocent civilians suffering make you happy?
    18
  41.  @chopstixsix802  The number of total Russian casualties is around 200k. Thats a lot. About 3-6 times more than Ukraine casualties But we really shouldn't talk about Ukrainian losses because Ukraine didn't choose this war, Russia did.

  42.  @mikaels6009  You clowns have been saying this for 6 months
    18
  43. When does your bus leave for the front lines? Since youve been one of the biggest cheerleaders of this war, I assume youve already volunteered yeah? Cos I know you wouldn't cheerlead a war that you dont expect to fight. Youre not a coward shouting from the comfort of your moms couch, at all

  45.  @SL92018  You dont understand what "directly involved" means.

  47.  @araara4746  The UN resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine only had 5 votes for Russia, 141 voted against Russia. The resolutions condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and demanded that Russia immediately withdraw its forces.

  48.  @manickn6819  Dude, if you really think that western press said Russia has been out of ammo since March of 2022, you need to reevaluate who the sheep are

  49. By the way, whenever Ukraine does a supply cut of Russia (bridges etc), its always followed by an offensive. Which is always successful. Whenever Ukraine says they will go on an offensive, they always go on an offensive. Which is always successful.

  50. It was just a small restaurant with ordinary people dining in there. When Russia says they hit their targets, it means they accidentally or purposely, hit civilians. Very typical of Russia to target civilian areas and public buildings.
