  1. perfect, since then they have much more value as exchange prisoners! Sweet!

  2. from a negotiating angle, it appears dumb and THUS psychotic/aggressive in fact ,given Ukr is the ally, not Russia. SO, it IS psychotic! Anyone who has studied strategy, game theory, theory of war, principles of negotiation in criminology, knows this.!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE US ADMIN IS OFF ITS MIND!

  3. yes we can! And we're working on it

  4. we cannot quit, including here in the US and europe, bcuz civilization itself is under direct threat by CLINK countries led by Russia.

  5. yes! and btw, part of the loss of faith that us american liberals have in Biden is related to ukr policy and israeli policy to a lesser extent. But it's real.

  6. there's been talk of this since two year ago. But what is known for sure is the basic illogic of Ru using a single nuke, let alone more than one, or WMD of other types ie chem weapons. Basically there is no practical use for them. To get a big impact on Ukr military, the size needed of one would have to be maaaasive, or several of them would have to be used at once. But if they did that, they know the US would immediatley start a conventional weaponry campaign rapidly depleting the entire western Russian force /conventional weapons/military system. That is what Biden promised Ru, and Ru cannot do anything back to us about it, bcuz they lack equivalency of power w/ us. And they're not suicidal re wanting to die in a nuke holocaust (in fact, no human groups are suicidal en masse like that probably, not even the Persians! Nukes are a menace weapon, they have no practical use as Ru is clearly demonstrating in very obvious ways over the past 900 days.

  7.  @bodasactra  dramatic oversimplification with some wrong ideas wrt and no explanation as to what that reason was that the aid supply was always only a trickle??!?!

  8. yes. But even worse, there's an actual series of mafia's in each region and like Satters says, even in THE most sophisticated city St. Pete, these are whole-family-murdering style total-control-of-city mafia. This really IS entirely medieval and makes the western mafia's look reasonable (i'm a mafia buff for U.S. areas, including asian mafia's).

  9. maybe yes. Btw, big difference between cynicism and anger.

  10.  @rabbitt-ee4yu  indeed! And more 'air power' will be developed by UKR as well as given or loaned or sold to it, i believe, over this next few months and years. Ru..is..cooked.

  12. right! I'm an american and he seems like the normal type of person we always had and still do. The only thing new is this rise of reactionary types including especially ultra rightwing

  13. yes, especially the fact that vs iron curtain, the new russian curtain was created by them over the past decade and half thru online activities including hacking, and infowarfare via the social media formats. Thus, silicon, ie the basis for the chips that make that possible. Ru's only truly potent tools have orginated thru online formats & they have hundreds of K's of ppl involved in it, ie cyberwarfare.

  14.  @moffig1  and the opposite would be all sorts of disaster for DE, eastern europe and all of EU, and the U.S., my country. This is very obvious to educated folks, and to many uneducated as well. Here in the US, the abject ignorance of the avg conservative voter is truly breathtaking and disturbing of course. On the left as well the ignorance is unbelievable, particularl in those born after around 1980. Here's hoping Harris wins, and congressional seats move toward Dem's as well. Otherwise, things could get 'rough' for Europe.

  16.  @Niels133  the whole point of what his level of cruelty/sadism is is that it only comes from the most psychopathic: thus indifferent and depraved and/or severely machiavellian to an extreme not typically seen in so many decades and quite a throwback into barbarism. Barbarism exists as part of a criminal continuum. To understand that autocratic regimes tend toward various forms of a-moral actions, is the start of seeing how it all works. But he is certainly NOT insane. That is the whole point! He's perfectly sane, just so tawdry & pathetic that this is how this type of human works! Like the dumbest form of animal-kingdom u can ever imagine!?

  17. correct. WW2's lessons which are embedded in all the institutions and agreements and contracts of every sort since 1945, show that. Pls , allies need to stand up to the US Admin!!

  18.  @andrenascimento9112  NO, ru doesn't need it actually, bcuz it has other excellent ports connected to the rail and air systems. Ru needed it hundreds of years ago when logistics were entirely different. Try learning things before you speak
    2
  19.  @LenQuerido  yes, many russians who care about their lives literally, or at least their future economics, should try to stop this war asap, bcuz they are on a track of russian dissolution literally, bcuz the pressures that have been put on the rest of CIS states are going to start backfiring in comphensive ways and the elite of RU will end up trying to leave RU or establish warlord fiefdoms of small size. That will destroy massive amount of econ stability and quality of life, russia will revert to literally 19th century economic levels , yes literally. Most westerners have no concept of what russia is like economically /socially.

  20. no , u have the facts heavily modifed into falsehoods actually. Please read up first and pls refrain from spewing misinformation.

  21.  @Thomas-hh5eb  no, nuclear war is not the risk at all, and u r probably trolling in conjuction with @seachange3822 in my guestimation, bcuz i've never quite seen a pro ukr argument as twisted as Seachange. Ya'll are not fooling anyone! Most informed ppl realize that Ru has NO practical ability to use even a single nuke weapon bcuz of the CONVENTIONAL hammering it will get on its military capabilities. Ru is not a self immolating suicide bomber and everyone knows that!

  23.  @PurpleUSAWTF  all b.s. propagandistic framing of what the Dem's offer. In fact Harris ran on normal stuff, just like the past forty years. DJT ran on radical changes that are plainly unamerican and will be blocked by courts and by the ppl even thru NV civil disobedience if necessary, i will participate if need be, to stop these unamerican unjust plans to separate families and send grandpaents and parents home to south america. Won't happen if good american ppl have a big say in it. Half the voters cannot upend 150 years of past precedents and laws and precedent laws that were only threatened suddenly two years ago by the Scotus in radical upending of precedent law! We are nation of laws and thus rule of law!!!!!!!!!! Stop your fascist bullshit!

  24.  @garybrodziak2196  Browder does NOT know about the russian system?! He sure does bcuz he's the ONLY major foreign investor who was there! Putin's ppl are literally criminals in every way imaginable! They dn';t just steal/pilfer, skim, they murder in cold blood, ie business associates and attorneys they dn't agree with! This started in the 1990's regularly, with businessmen murdering each other every week in Moscow! Are u a youngin who has no idea?! ooooh, poor lil boy/gal! Wake up, before u lose...every...thing...you love!

  25.  @garybrodziak2196  for some reason your fellow-travellers who work for Youtube probably, deleted my reply to you that i wrote yesterday. Browder is literally THE expert on invesment and finance in Russia, when it mattered. He was the only foreign hedge fund there and did yeoman's work in making Ru attractive. Ru has had so much opportunity in the past 25 years to become so successful, far far in excess of its econ level as of either '14 or '22. Russia was invited to join Nato long ago! Instead it has such a profound lack of consciouness, self awareness and imagination, ie the elite are such pathetic ppl, that from around '09ish, they started getting very very dark. Solyoev's theater-speech/performance around '08, where he rebuked fellow russians talking with hostility toward former USSR parts such as Ukraine; he said it was psychotic and insane to talk about militarily taking Ukraine. Today Solyoev is the main talk show host with pure psychopathic spewing and nonsense and near-pyschois that he inflicts on the 'russian' ppl daily on TV. Russia is not just a failed state, but a failed society that is about to go thru the darkes period in several hundred years, imho. (and i do know a bit about political economy and a about history, and history of war. Ru took a step too far and it's about to experience excruciating pain lasting likely 30 years minimum).

  26.  @gandydancer9710  nice try slick or ru-bot if u r a troll of any type, not just ru-allied. U dn't sound american like i am in fact, bcuz a Yank wouldn't say an overwhelming number drew oppo conclusion re DJT's allegiances/pref's: Even supporters know he strongly prefers Ru to most nations on earth, thus he is a form of a stooge, given US foreign policy officially holds Ru as the active member of the CRINK enemy alliance. Per our voting system, approx 300-400K ppl is the margin that elected DJT! U do not represent american nat sec concerns or values. You personally will have no social power soon, nor political power after the next few years. Mark..my..words.

  27.  @pzubets  they're also facts, per the hundreds of hours i've spent as a semi retired middle aged american who prizes his true freedom from dark forces like RU, or the new authoritarian fake-libertarian anarcho-populist psychotics who are running amok in my nation using autistic youngsters to push aside the entire authorized qualified professionals and officers of our already very lean bureacracy (i'm a conservative wrt gvt and studied and worked in D.C. and know how lean the fed gvt is). Your psychotic fascism is going to rot on the vine fast!

  28. while well intentioned i guess u are, this is a classic fallacy which is the most subtlely pernicious indirectly defeatist thinking, bcuz in fact, it's only planning and preparation and motivation (which comes from righteous purposes and saving one's women and children from barbarism), which makes this sort of success happen. NOT divine intervention, which there are no known examples of in the history of war, and the history of war is very very well documented in fact, vs other aspects of history.

  29. wonderful u were there before the war. In the future u may return and see transformation u never imagined possible on earth, positive and negative. You're young so what u already know is that this 'war' is teaching all ppl on earth that the classic human frailties of ignorance, apathy, low-mentality (lack of moral values/codes), create a level of corrupt ignorance societies which then try to increase their power through medieval motives and means including actual depraved sadistic level actions, like Ru's personnel tortured around half of the populaion of the big city of Kherson! These levels of extreme efforts of barbarism, over many months, are actually pretty rare in history. Ru is the real deal, they have become literally evil, and most westerners still do not understand that fact, or what it means.

  33. yes! very interesting. 4M germans can understand russian language for reasons of that history. One of my dearest friends whom i met in university here in the US, was 19 when the wall came down. The personalities of E. Germans is quite different in some ways, even among the very highly educated, like my friend. It's a bit difficult for me to describe well. Fact is that whereas my Ddr-nick and my slovak friend were seemingly passive-ish ppl, my Cz and my Ukr friends are the opposite. Very intersting personality arrays and history.

  34. bingo, ! yes! This is precisely correct! That indeed was a severely egregious failures of the Biden WH, as was slow-rolling things and hesitation, with strange notions of escalation.

  35.  @nicolaasstempels8207  indeed, those are all the best and in that order basically. I'd also add Paul Warburg who is ultra sharp in integrating strategic thinking into both the mil and econ factors

  36. @Chixbythesea it's normal to get many things wrong in a war, which is by definition THE MOST UNPREDICTABLE THING OF ALL, as any officer can tell you, including him, which he has done! U didn't listen bcuz u r a fearful cowed vassal of lords

  39. russians as well as most ppl on earth , when in hierarchical groups like miltaries, which are part of countries in flux, within autocracies like Ru, will not use nukes, bcuz the commanders who are responsible for orders would likely disobey orders from the gvt/Pu-Tin (though it's also extremely unlikely Putin would order nuke use). This is bcuz the commanders are not suicidal, they are human beings who had a good enough life and have no desire to die long with their familes and make the land uninhabiable for years and decades, especially in Ru where domestic food production is quite limited. Your ideas of panic bear no resemblance to any military or even political structure in most countries on earth.

  43. not likely re the nukes not being mentioned. They can't use the threat anymore bcuz it has lost its meaning since they know there is no practical way to use them. One or a few is not enough to make enough damage to Ukr troops to be worth the negative response from the US airforce/navy which Biden has assured Ru will immediately start conventional destruction of Ru's conventional military system. Ru has no ability to successfuly defend itself against such an attack. And ru is not suicidal, and in fact no military on earth probably, even Iran's , would use nukes in a way that would assure it's own destruction. Nukes for RU are not practical to use. Ru has disadvantages in several military domains to an extent it has very limited chances against the US let alone Nato. Ru since 1850 crimean war has made mistake after mistake in such incredibly significant ways and scale, that its beggars belief. Fascinating

  45.  @shooster5884  yes this is a coup or an attempted political-social coup, ie onslaught against the entire civil service which is 150 years old and our a-political un-corruptable element of national fabric. It's an attempt to radically remove social power & smooth operating economy. Thats why 25% tarrifs on our neighbors with which the bulk of our economy is traded with. It really DOES look like self destrction so much so that anyone in the NSA/CiA senses it IS intentional self destruction!

  46.  @brucemckenzie7188  good point, though it's a fact that a number of the worst people in history were older men, bcuz quite a ton of us become rigid in thinking with age, and it can even be a form of dementia, ie as we see Putin does have some demented thinking. Tho i agree w/ Browder and others that Pootin is sane, there can easily be some dementia/paranoia, partly bcuz the normal russian/muscovey/ussr consciousness was paranoid and deeply insecure, tetchy, touchy, hyper defensive. Medvedev is a great example.

  48. YES! also, Odesa is the linchpin area for Ukr's entire economic future to get it moving back into full social economic function ie new economy. The ag money from the exports of Ag is fundamental to that functioning gvt. SO, the West has NO choice but to FULLY arm Ukr to entirely defeat Ru's efforts, OR to form a coalition of the willing to swiftly show Ru to back out of this war of choice which has been openly nakedly genocidal, with now 140K documented (international UN standards of every level and type) cases of war crimes. And almost none by ukr soldiers upon russians.

  49. it's suuuuch a small 'risk'. I'd argue there is no negative risk, it's extremely lopsided risk/reward in favor of all reward! They are acting schizophrenic, ie split. They have been protected w/the Nato/US security system for the past 80 yrs, and now they are pretending as if they are trying to be 'reasoned' and giving Ru a bunch of extra chances to slow down its genocide? It makes no sense. It has all the hallmarks of cognitive faults, cognitive dissonance even perhaps. Many factors go into the calculus that makes most Nato members want much heavier and better equip to get into Ukr hands. Just one factor is that Ru CAN be prevailed against, Ukr CAN actually work hard enough against Ru aggression to restore the international order. Without that international order, there is no germany as it's been known, ie successful economically. Many of us have studied a lot of history, econ, geography, sociology, anthroplogy, psychology, and even a bit about russian history, etc. I personally studied a lot about the cold war during it, and immediately after it. Germany is hesitating right now during the final two weeks left to start the two months process it takes to get heavy equip into Ukr hands. Biggest single mistake in modern germany's history, and it will not be forgiven by us yanks, that's for damn sure. Only Leapords will do the job. Abrams/american are useless with its hightech jet fuel propulsion. KISS (keep it simple stupid)

  50. first part is quite right! But not the atheist part at all! That is not what this new russia's narrative self explanation/description is, which is actually mystico-orthodox christian with nationalism embedded. It is the most dangerous form of religiosity known to humans!
