  111.  @111076tom  Why are you speculating? Why not just find the facts? The rail bridge is NOT below the road, it is mostly at the same elevation as the road, but it begins to climb earlier than the road when approaching high portions, so in many places is higher than the road. You are wrong ("why not just find the facts") about it's military value. It is the MAIN supply route for military equipment into Crimea and Kherson oblasts. There is no rail route along the shore of the Azov Sea ("why not just find the facts"). The rail line goes inland to Melotopol, then heads north towards Tokmak before heading north east into Luhansk oblast. Crimea does need huge volumes of supplies ("why not just find the facts") as that is where the Russia Black Sea fleet resupplies, and it is also the primary route for supplies into Kherson and parts of Zaporizhzhia as the only other supply route is via Tokmak which is within Ukrainian artillery range (why do I have to point this out again - because you have a closed mind due to Russian BS). & weeks into the offensive and you would like to see Ukrainian troops destroy themselves on Russian defenses. Unfortunately for Russia, Ukrainians are not that stupid. Speaking of offensives, we're now 26 weeks into the Russian winter offensive - when is it going to even start? 30,000 soldiers KIA. They must be mostly Russian soldiers because Ukraine has lost only a fraction of that number ("why not just find the facts") - expect in Pootin's mind. "Houndreds" of armoured vehicles destroyed, over one "houndred" tanks destroyed - again your are quoting Russian propaganda instead of "finding the facts". "Why did they end negotiations in Turkey last April?" because there weren't negotiations in Turkey "last April", it was April the year before ("why not just find the facts"). And the reason they ended negotiations was because in April 2022 Ukraine was still loosing to Russian forces and they wanted to cut their losses. But Boris and others pledged their support and convinced Zelenskyy that he could do better than to cede so much territory to the aggressor. And they were right. In August 2022 the Ukrainian army brought Russian army advances to a halt. Since that time the Russian army has been unable to make any significant gains in Ukraine. The Russian army has been unable to capture so much as a single Ukrainian city in those 11 months. Over the same period the Ukrainian army has liberated over 13,000sq km of Ukrainian land, including six cities. That's why. It sucks to be a Russian troll.

  254.  @QANews  Hey QANews. Let me explain ONE MORE TIME to aid your comprehension. 1) It is against ruSSian law to allow communities "the fundamental right to self-determination". A sign of ruSSia's disregard for human rights. 2) Crimea DID NOT exercise its choice to join ruSSia. To do so would have required a free and fair referendum. This did not occur. 3) You (nor I) have any idea whether or not the Donbas region aspired to achieve independence. Some residents of the Donbas expressed a desire for semi or full autonomy, some did not. The last time the region had a vote on the matter was when the Donbas decided to seek independence from the USSR as PART OF UKRAINE (not as an independent region). 4) By attacking Ukraine ruSSia has demonstrated that it is not a responsible member of the global community. Being a member of the UNSC exacerbates ruSSia's irresponsibility. 5) ruSSia has never been tasked with aiding any communities in their pursuit of self-determination (where were they when Chechnya wanted self-determination?). 6) As a neighboring nation ruSSia was directly involved in causing events in the Donbas, when it had an international agreement to keep out of Ukraine. In the Partition Treaty of the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet, of 1997, ruSSia not only agreed to the sovereignty of Ukraine (an agreement it has broken), but also agreed not to interfere in the internal affairs of Ukraine (another agreement it has broken). 7) ruSSia did not initiate a 'Special Operation', ruSSia initiated an invasion and a WAR against a sovereign neighbour. ruSSia had NO rights to intervene in Ukrainian affairs. ruSSia had NO mandate to intervene in Ukrainian affairs. ruSSia has demonstrated to the world that it is NOT a responsible member of the international community. So kindly cut the BS and the lies. Warmest regards and may peace be upon us all as soon as Russia leaves Ukraine.

  495.  @hatchxable  Of course ruzzia said it was to be a 3 day operation to take Kyiv. The fact that you are useless at research is not our fault (although it is typical of ruzzians to blame everyone else). It is obvious however that you are getting all your information from ruzzian sources. Take this quote of yours for example "Russia never said anything about a 3 days military operation. The original source of those claims was the US general Mark Milei who predicted the fall of kiev" You're spelling of both Milley and Kyiv is the ruzzian spelling, revealing your sources. ruzzia restricts what you are allowed to see to ensure you only get their version of events. "it was Boris Johnson who went to Kiev and told Zelenesky not negotiate, fight! You can beat the Russians". Why are you telling us old news? Of course Boris advised Zelenski to fight. And it was good advice too. At the time Ukraine was on the back foot with ~27% of Ukraine occupied by an a-hole invader. But Boris advised that with western support Ukraine could do better. He was right, the a-hole invaders now only hold ~17% of Ukraine. So tell me, what do you think fascist ruzzia's conditions would have been for peace back then? It would, without doubt, have required Ukraine to agree to fascist ruzzia's occupation of Kharkiv, Lyhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts - minimum. Most likely Mykolaiv and Odesa oblasts would have been included in fascist ruzzia's demands too - along with Ukraine agreeing to the international recognition of Crimea as ruzzian. So you can clearly see that Boris' advice was good advice. And it was a poke in the eye for the fascist invader - which is why all you ruzzian trolls are bitter about it. I guess it sucks to be a ruzzian troll.

  530.  @timparker4160  Oh Tim, you poor deluded troll. I just read your next post and I realise just how deeply you have being tricked by the russian propaganda machine. Do you really believe that "Russia has barely commited any of it’s military force so far because Pooptin has shown incredible restraint"? Do you not know that Pootin has had to pull troops from the Norwegian and Finnish borders for this war he started? Do you not know he's had to pull troops from Murmansk and Vladivostok. From Syria and Armenia. Pootin has FULLY committed his entire army. How do you think Wagner got to within 200km of Moscow? There are almost NO russian troops left to guard russia, because they are mostly in Ukraine being defeated. Do you really believe that "Ukraine loses soldiers at a ratio of 7:1 on a good day and 10:1 on a bad" because it was the other way around at Bakhmut where russia was losing 7:1. Ukraine's advancing troops should be losing at a 3:1 ratio, but very accurate counts (Oryx) of vehicle losses show that russia is losing two vehicles for every one that UKraine loses. That would suggest russian troop losses are 2:1 - however western armoured vehicles are designed to protect their troops, so russian losses are almost certainly even higher. If your figure of 300,000 lost Ukrainian troops is correct (it isn't) then russia has lost close to 900,000 troops "Lets just come back here and talk about it in 6 months" - well funny you should say that, because the russian army has been unable to make ANY advances in the last six months, nor the six months before that, so "Yes" I'll happily come back in six months and prove to you that you have been made a fool of, by russian sources. Purrrrrr. Meow.

  576.  @rayden1387  What a load of distorted bollocks Ray. What happened in Yugoslavia is NOT related to what's happening in Ukraine. Not whatsoever. Only in the minds of people clutching at straws to defend the indefensible (that's you). In 2014 there was an uprising in Ukraine - a coup you call it - a popular uprising by the people of Ukraine - yet you condemn it. A new government was elected that year. A further free and fair election was held in 2019 and there was a peaceful transition of power. There is no way you can claim that the government of Ukraine is not legitimate - except in the minds of people clutching at straws to defend the indefensible (that's you again). Russia was also subject to a 'coup' but I don't think there has been a free and fair election in Russia/USSR since. Is the Russia government legitimate? Russia does not, under any circumstance, have the right to defend the oblasts of Donetsk or Luhansk - except in the minds of people clutching at straws to defend the indefensible (you again). And Russia has not done so. They have injured, maimed or killed hundreds of thousands of Russian speakers and ethic Russians in Donbas. They have bombed and shelled many Donbas cities out of existence, killing tens of thousands of Russian speakers and ethic Russians in Mariupol alone. They have emptied the Donbas of menfolk of fighting age and sent them to the front, often ill-equipped, often to die in this pointless war that Russia started. So much for "the right to defend" Donetsk or Luhansk oblasts. Lets kill everyone so they feel defended. You fool. You think it's funny that most countries of the globe don't recognise the referendum in Crimea - remember that they don't recognise the referenda, nor the annexations, in the four other Ukrainian oblasts either. I have voted in at least 10 free and fair elections referenda in my own country. What I saw of the refernda held in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts shocked me. I have never seen such blatant coercion. That would immediately invalidate any results. If Russia had a legitimate issue with the treatment of Russian speakers in Donbas, why didn't it deal with the matter at the UN? Russia is a member of the Security Council after all. "the precedent is done" you say. Bollocks. So what you are saying is if your neighbor robs your house, then there is a precedent and all your neighbors are then allowed to rob your house. Complete bollocks. "You cannot invoke the law when it is you who have violated it." It is not me, nor my nation, that has violated. But Russia has, and you are cool with that. It sucks to be a brainwashed Russian troll.
