  1. putin is a genius. putin figure out how to get nuclear armed russia targeted with weapon from multiple NATO countries. Magical. A Genius. putin figured out how to get nuclear armed russia invaded by the neighbor he said he would defeat in 3 days.
    41
  2. Why the war in Ukraine bogged down? because russia lacks the capability to advance.

  3. What I read there is - putin says - "I got nothin" putin cannot make the missiles with the sutfff avail in russia - it is only possible with "Western" bootleg parts. Of course don trump will give putin the parts - which is just one more reason why don trump cannot take office in the USA never again.

  4. putin been threatening nuclear war since he got power. Every single year. The nuclear threat is irrelevant. Why? The nuclear threat is not going away. If putin want all of Europe he will use the nuclear protection racket to advance all the way across Europe until he flies the russian flag from the Eiffel Tower and the Arc d'Trump. Macron did the calculus. It is not complicated. Will NATO fight to protect Paris from the nuclear threat? London? Brussels? Amsterdam? Copenhagen? Madird? Lisbon? Berlin? Warsaw? Riga? If there is a location in Europe that NATO will defend in the face of the nuclear threat - then does it really matter which town it is? No. Better to draw the line on putin;s iron curtain - at the russia border. If putin wants to threaten nuclear war - then unilaterally seize all Russian Assets in ALL NATO countries Immediately. How can you get away with threatening Nuclear Armageddon while keeping $1trillion of assets in NATO protected countries - It is an intelligence test. It is a sanity test.

  5. What happens when NATO mobilizes across all of Europe? I mean goes to full blown war mode. Hope they have gamed that one out. It is mysterious to me though. Russia cannot scrub Ukraine from the south side of the Dinipro and Russia cannot scrub insurgents from Belogrod. So what are they going to do to NATO?

  6. Ukraine’s Kursk incursion shows Russia’s weakness | DW News - Wrong Question. Correct Question: Is russia prepared to fight a new front - Inside of russia?

  7. Meddling? Try Espionage. Spying. Why does the EU tolerate it?

  8. There is no russia gas that enters Ukraine. Any russia gas that enters Ukraine is Ukraine Gas. Period. Any pipe enter Ukraine is Ukraine pipe. There is no such thing as russia gas that traverses Ukraine. it does not exist on Planet Earth.

  9. Brexit was a successful putin divide and conquer project on the UK and the EU. putin wants to own the EU and the UK. I mean let';s face it - Russia billionaire petroleum dollars bought a lot of influence in the UK. Not sure why UK conservatives bought it - but they did. Oh well. Fact is - what really matters is the EU and the Uk vision for the advancement of mankind in this century. And you'll NEVER hear putin talk about his vision for mankind. Examples? The UK moon shot in this century - Worlds Best Public Transit. Cooast to Coast - door to door all across the UK. Why stop there - expand it into Africa and South America. Let China fix Asia. UK moonshot? Total Renewable energy - this century. Abandonment of fossil fuels? EU Moonshot? Best public transportation system on Planet Earth. Architected. Adopting China Style absolute Standardization across the system. Export to Africa. Export to Middle America. Export to South America. Let China fix Central Asia. All Renewable Capacity globally is mapped. Solar and Wind. North Africa is "Solar Rich" - The EU can Partner with North Africa to expand the EU standards of Living - South. To North Africa - Follow the Italy PM idea of Economic investment for development - to Europe - South on the rim of North Africa. Spain already has land there. Not colonialism. Not conquest. Partnership. The countries on the north rim of Africa are some of the largest land mass countries in the world. Where is the European Vision - For Mankind. This Century. Care Diem - you fools. Carpe Diem. If The Channel didn;t matter in 1066, in 1349, then it sure does not matter in 2024. Don't think small. Don't think Big. Think - Bigger.

  10. NATO got about 45 days to put this one to bed. 45 days. Best Get Crackin.

  11. Ukraine summer operation failed for two reasons. Ukraine is far too risk averse. Conventional big budget military is the pentagon play - because...I do not know why. Both the pentagon and Ukraine put far too much weight on military equipment and not enough on military action. Results not budget - wins. Second - Ukraine runs the wrong military model. Ukraine is a small more agile force operating on Ukraine soil. russia is the occupier. The relevant paradigm is not WWI trench warfare - although that is the paradigm plays to putin. The paradigm is Afghanistan. Insurrgency against a larger more powerful occupying force. Ukraine mojo is Insurgency. Special Ops. Commandos. Guerrilla Warfare. Resistance like Franch and Poland, or even Al-queda. There is a model insurgency in WWI. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. German East Africa. Commanded a few thousand German commandos and a a few dozen thousand African commandos. Never captured or stopped. Died in Hamburg in 1964. Who is the Ukrainian Lettow-Vorbeck? In 2023?

  12. Russia steps up response to Ukrainian incursion of Kursk region - It's been an entire week for Christ sake. What they been doing? Russia gets invaded and putin - the fool - calls it a "major provocation". Dude, you just got INVADED. Maybe take that army of internet trolls and send some of them over to help out on the front line?

  13. the media is - horrible.

  14. Why doesn't Europe intervene to say to Ukraine - take your best deal and we will double it. Double it? I would. If trump and putin want European mineral resource - they'll pay for it - dearly.

  15. The crime was putin entering Ukraine. Now putin plays the protection racket. Looks about played out now. I will be shocked in putin is still alive on Dec 31, 2024.

  17. trump makes the USA - Irrelevant. Something all of the experts said was impossible and now it is Historical Fact. If the USA is irrelevant - then trump is irrelevant.

  18. any russian oil entering Ukraine is by definition - Ukrainian Oil. Hungary can have it - but they pay Ukraine for it, not russia

  19. See? That is the old paradigm. If I needed a crash course in Obsolete Worn Out Wrong Headed Economic Dogma - this video is it. The growth model of business and the consumption based society. That dogma is Obsolete. It has no meaning in a Built out Resource Constrained World. Common sense tells you that in 2024 - the Growth Model of Business And Consumption based Economy - is not sustainable. The Bare Fact of the matter is - to make all of the products people need and want - you no longer need full employment. A portion of Society can now make everything people need and want - what are the other going to do to define their lives. That is the salient question of our time. Humanity is at an inflection point - the Dogma that drove human civilization to this point - is now detrimental to our situation. Humanity is going to figure out a different way to give meaning to human Life - other than making money - and now it the time for the transition to begin. In terms of Economics Lewis and Churchill wrote about it in the HBR in 1983 in the context of small business lifecycle. The idea extrapolates abstracts to society as a whole in our built or world. Lewis and Churchill - even in 1983 had trouble coming to grips with what happens to business once it goes Resource Constrained. Because it no longer supports growth. But that is now the reality of our situation.

  20. has the USA provided stinger missiles yet?

  21. Zelensky has enough on his plate without bombing Moscow directly. Like halt the russia advance in Donbas. Ukraine has plenty of sites it can hit within a few hundred KM of the Ukraine russia border. Why not just lay waste to all russia resources used to wage war - within that perimeter. Did I say - lay waste? Clearly NATO told Ukraine not to hit the Kerch Bridge again. After Ukraine takes Crimea - which they can just go ahead and start now - cut the Kerch bridge on the Urkaine side - rendering the rest a Alatros. Useless. Ukraine can and should go ahead and retake Crimea - This year. No point in waiting and russia appears to have no capacity to defend their occupation of it.

  22. Why would Europe permit either putin or trump - both actively anti Europe - to steal European mineral resource. It is insane. Europe can get serious in a day - and tell Zelenski - no matter what theUSA deal is for you - we will double it.  And keep Ukraine free.  If Europe gets up on its hind legs - there is nothing trump or putin can do about it. Europe can intervene to tell Zelenski - we will have your back - just tell trump and putin - No. There is still time. If I am Europe there is no scenario where either russia not trump get Ukraine rare earth minerals.

  23. putin lost 800K casualties and got nuclear armed russia invaded for the first time since WWII - something all experts said was impossible - and now it is historical fact.

  24. I guess the Holocaust card is played out.

  25. Biden knows authorizing US weapons in russia - russia has no defense - Bidne knows he is risking nuclear war. Biden did the calculus and is willing to risk direct nuclear war with russia. Unthinkable Ito Biden in 2022 - it is now - Historical Reality. Historical Fact. Name the one thing on planet earth that could flip that switch in Bidens' Brain? Proof trump is working with putin to overthrow the USA. That'd do it. Name anything else that could flip that switch in Bidens's Brain? Anything? The Fate of ukraine? No - that definitely is not enough. Puti nis 60 days away from installing trump and taking over the USA, Europe and the Free World. I'd rather die a free man than be a slave under putin. I stand in Solidarity with Joe Biden.

  26. You cannot target civilians. Israel right wing land grabs in the West Bank remind me of Hilter annexing Sudetenland and putin excuse to invade Ukraine. I guess the Holocaust Card is played out.

  27. hundreds of billions of dollars worth of russian assets in Europe all protected by NATO. That is how you know putin crying about NATO was always a Fraud. The entire time. It putin wants war with NATO putin is forfeit his russian assets in Europe. Can't have it both ways. Why did putin stash hundreds of billions in assets in Europe? Because it is safer and the return is better than in Russia. Did you all see that as it turns out Syria was simply a front for the Russian Drug dealing Cartel? Turns out putin is nothing more tan a common drug lord. And should be dealt with accordingly.

  28. day 680 of putin 3 day war. russia lacks any ability to advance on the battlefield. putin dare not commit more military resource -or he will not have enough resource inside russia to stay in power. putin made Ukraine a player in Europe. and russia - irrelevant. putin is turning russia into North Korea.

  29. It means Russia will advance no further into Ukraine - Never.

  32. I guess Biden came out of his coma. Imagine what is possible if Biden figures out he is President of the United States.

  33. US announces military drills with Guyana following tensions with Venezuela. Does Venezuela want a US backed insurgency on its east border? It could topple the Venezuela government. Easily. Solve a lot of problems it could.

  34. 11,000,000 people in the US without permission. Too clear them out - trump'd need to depot 7K per days every day for all 4 years of this term. cause for sure trump will attempt to remain in power when this term expires. If you are not seeing 7K per day leaving the USA - then you are watching a PR stunt.

  35. Since 2018 No Country on Earth has done more to Protect Global Democracy - than Ukraine,. In 2018 - putin toll on the US Oval Office - trump run putin foreign policy out of the US Oval Office - to shake down Ukraine so Ukraine would announce investigation on Joe Biden in exchange for javelin missiles. And the fact of the shake down compromised ukraine in pending ukraine Russia negotiations. Ukraine saw through the scam because it reeked of putin - and Ukraine told the USA and Russia - No. go pound Sand. Think About that. ukraine told the USA and Russia - Get lost. ukraine told the USA and Russia - go screw yourselves. Think about that. In 20223 putin massed his military in the intimidation play and then invade. putin already in decline that day accelerated his demise - by orders of magnitude. Ukraine stepped into the breach on the border with Russia - in Defense of Europe - giving NATO and the Eu two full years to pull their heads ofut of their butts - and smell the coffee brewing. Seems like NATO finally sobered up. What we know today is that putins best days are behind him. Far far behind him. The is no upside for putin anywhere on anything - from here. Putin colored far outside the lines for far too long - Europe and NATo tried to reason with him Europe and nATo tried to give putin hints. With putin you are talking about a gut - who can't take a hint. Too bad for russia. putin set Russia back at least one hundred years. At least. The Soviet rot is relentless in its consumption of russia. Relentless. It is a russian nation tragedy. unrelenting tragedy. It is like russia is cursed doomed to suffer the slings and arrows of unrelenting self inflicted wounds. It is putin's fault. And Al Dugin. It is Al Dugins fault. The guy is a Russian National Curse. Horrible. tragic. Russia.

  38. Basically there are 74 days until trump takes office. Ukraine has 74 days to defeat putin. Seems like the laser beam approach is to go find putin the person and end the war. Everyone knows where he is - just go get him. That is IF trump takes office - which I expect -there are no guarantees.

  39. The Fall of Avdiivka is Joe Biden's fault bordering on Dereliction of Duty for failing to Support using US National Security Imperative.  Joe Biden OWNS US National Security - not US Congress. Biden blaming congress is another rderiliciton. Joe Biden clearly does not understand the power of and role of POTUS.   And That is a US National Tragedy. It is an Ukraine National Tragedy too. The Joe Biden inability to confront putin through paralysis and fear but mostly fear - just about renders Biden unfit for office of Commander in Chief. The Fall of Avdiivka is NATO abdication of the NATO Charter to protect Europe.  This Joe Biden Failure is a gift to putin. Good for putin. Make putin looks good it does.    Obama and Biden both showed a pervasive gutlessness unbecoming of the Commander in Chief failing to confront putin.  I can't bear to watch it. After the failure to back Ukraine to enable them to sustain the fight in Avdiivka - NATO and the US fall over themselves professing undying commintemtn to Ukraine through to the end - And Ukraine is standing there thinking - MY GOD - You just failed systematically over a period of months to do what you just showed you to tell me you are going to do. It is not like the siege of Avdiivka was a sneak attack. It happened in slow motion - for MONTHS. And Joe Biden and NATo sat there paralyzed. I thank god in heaven I never heard the discussions justifying that paralysis and what I am sure is the mind blowing stupidity of those discussions - justifying the paralysis. Actions ,Joe. Talk is cheap. What is that ? Action - Genuine Coin of the realm. A dollar of Action is worth ten dollars of talk. Actions, Joe. Actions.

  40. I wonder if DW has heartburn about the 25 million landmine russia putin into the ground in Ukraine? Or does DW only have heartburn about USA landmines Ukraine will put int the ground in defense of Ukraine.   Biden sends 25 million landmines to Ukraine 2.5 years late. I wonder what Biden is capable of - Sitting on a $1 trillion per year Defene department. and 60 days left in office. Unless Joe Biden simply wants to stain office. Which he can legal do after Jul 1, 2024 when SCOTUS granted don trump absolute immunity - placing POTUS Squarely Above the Law. In the USA Today the is no constraining Authority on POTUS. Not Congress and Not SCOUTS. That is why the SCOTUS decision was irrational. The decision effectively striped SCOTUS of power over POTUS. It is the USA equivalent of the Mar 23, 1933 Enabling Act. Right? So the the people behind the decision are taunting and Mocking Biden Right. They know they gutted the Consitution. They granted the power in anticipation of trump taking office and the taunt, the mockery ,the humiliation is - they gamble, they bet, Biden is too Fearful to pick up the baton of Dictatorial Power in the USA - and Use IT. A Safe bet. Why? because it mean Joe Biden must admit that the USA Republic Fell - On His Watch. And Authority never admits a mistake. Especially not the Fall of the Republic. That is what makes the whole thing extraordinary. And Ballsy. No American would dream up anything to Elaborate. American come in through the Front Door. It Reeks of putin. The stench of putin is on it. Me? You lay the baton of Absolute Power at my feet and I guarantee you - I will pick it up and take it for a test spin. Guaranteed. And you can cry and blame me all you want. Of see- biden Dictator. Biden Destroys American Democracy Blah Blah Blah. And I will say - yeah - Whatever. And take the Baton of Absolute Power - And split you in two with it like a Lighting Bolt on Steroids. Like that Storm in Speilbergs - World of the Worlds. I will split you in two with it. But that's just me.

  41. It is not meddling. It is state sponsored espionage. Cyber Warfare. Meddling is just playing around. This is planed and architected.

  42. It is very simple. Who calls the shots in Europe? Brussels and NATO or Moscow and putin? I can see no value to Europe to allowing putin to call any shots in Europe.

  44. putin planned for a 3 day special operation. It is day 662. putin wants his money back.

  45. Maybe potin thinks he is god and when Ukraine defied him - he couldn't handle it - an the war is a personal grudge.

  46. I guess putin is not the only one who knows how to start a war in the Middle East.

  47. Why are Russians risking years in prison to protest? That is not the question. The question why is anyone trying to stop them? What are the cops - not joining them?

  48. Right - Joe Biden must stop pretending that congress can stop him from arming Ukraine. Joe Biden Owns US National Security. Biden can direct the pentagon to provide any and all available resource to Ukraine. It is a matter of US National Security. No further justification is necessary. No one can argue with it. Any challenge - to Biden Executive Action - will fail.

  49. what does the growth model of business mean in a built out - resource constrained world of 8 billion people? The world is in the resource mature stage. Growth has no meaning. the growth economic model is obsolete in our finite world.
