  1. I doubt that - he seemed rather in good spirits on different videos from current massive Vostok drills in Asian part of Russia.

  2. Why would he suddenly engage in peace talks? It is clear that Kiev regime needs to be changed now - as any talks are futile as they will lead to possible future conflict. So only peace talks will center around Ukraine surrender. Without conditions.

  3. LOL, the orders to advance were done weeks if not months before actual start of hostilities. There is no talk here about diplomatic push before the war. None. 6:30 - Russia predicted very well western response - they were more or less told of the main sanctions! 7:00 - yeah - there was push not to change borders unless it was done by the west ;) 21:00 - Putin is know for reading press and directly calling people ---- i.e. exactly the opposite of what is said here... even recently he publicly told off one of his own ministers by asking why military orders were not placed --- he personally called factory directors! 25:14 really and where would they sell it to??? eBay? Who would exactly buy things such as optical coincidental range finder for T-72??? What could this be used for? Did anyone ask simple questions like that??? No! Just pure idiotic propaganda. 31:35 - yeah Putin sick trope ;))) Maybe someone should look as how Biden ... moves or shakes hands with ghosts ;))) Why would Putin miscalculate Ukrainian resolve - they been having a proxy war since 2014 --- that is 8 years of fighting! I have a feeling he sort of knew what is out there... after 8 years.

  4. Putin is not Russia. There is zero need for any nukes.

  5.  @sirfanatical8763  What economic troubles? Russia is fastest growing economy in Europe and largest. What Ukraine "fight" what BS you are talking about? Is there any fight in new territories Russia acquired? I was under impression that 100s of vehicles were burned in Kiev, Odessa and many other cities by the resistance movement against dictator Zielinski. We have plenty of evidence on video to back it up with clear geo location. How do you explain that? They myth of Ukrainian partisans is just that - a myth. When Ukraine was part of Soviet Union there were no problems with any resistance. There were more leaders of Soviet Union from Ukraine than Russia (!)

  6. What a BS. Russian message to Kiev is not about any land. It's clear, say no to NATO. Ukraine says, over our dead bodies. To which Moscow say, that will be arrenged.

  7.  @Achill101  Who cares about Finland and their membership in NATO? Same for Sweden? Ukraine has shown they are unable to deal with situation where Russia has disadvantage in numbers of 2:1. As long as Estonia and Latvia are not going to go on full homicidal mission there there is little reason for Russia to intervene. Of course both Estonia and Latvia break EU laws regarding their minorities but for some time EU just looks the other way - so much for "rule of law". Same with US lead NATO that is clearly not some kind of "rules" based institution - rules exist but they are changed as interests seem to fit them. Russia does not need to fight too hard - all they need to do is continue current operation - they don't even need large operations - through they may chose to do so in order to firmly show that Ukraine cannot win this conflict using the military.

  8.  @Kektamusprime  No body is fighting against Russians there as almost everyone there is Russian ;) What videos have you seen of fighting there? Other than drone attacks? I have no seen any videos. There is also small Tatar minority there, but I did not see them doing anything with arms either.

  9. But there is no dilemma. Russia will try to slow down attack in Kursk and take Donbass forcing Ukraine to surrender or be overrun. Region can be taken back later on for free or next to free. God people in the west are idiots. There is obvious choice for Russia and they have picked it... your move!

  10. What if Russia refuses to turn it off? Will Ukraine hit working nuclear power plant? LOL! Western idiots are amazing.

  11. More or less Russian influence in the world stage goes only up and up and up.

  12. Yeah, Russia was invaded many times - and with few exceptions it did not work out well for the invader.

  13.  @Chuck_Hooks  Yeah and US needs Pakistan. Doing excellent I see!

  14. Russia won the war. No one is pushing them anywhere.

  15. For what?

  16.  @InspiriumESOO  Yes, its a benefit but to Russia. It is political posturing by Ukraine for political points in the west - problem is that it will cost them military loss. War is extension of politics by means of physical force - physical force trumps any non physical posturing. So Russian military wins trump any Ukrainian posturing for soft political wins. I.e. this is a mistake by Ukraine.

  17. Sure they can - they can say Ukraine needs to give up all the land Russia controls and return all land in Russia taken by Ukraine. Through this is off the table - Russia is winning the war and they need to ask for more.

  18.  @krisfrederick5001  well, Ukraine crossed Russian red line and look at it now. In 2019 interview the presidential advisor knew that Russia would not let it slide. They even predicted up to 3 wars with Russia over a dozen years. Oh how wrong they were. Russia has proven far and wide more powerful than expected.

  19.  @PhysicsGamer  LOL, dude you are clueless. Ukraine before the war was strongest military (ground force) in entirely in Europe. Mexico cannot even defeat local gangs. Ukraine air defense network was almost as big as rest of Europe COMBINED. And roughly half that of US. With aid Ukraine air defense power not counting losses is roughly that of US! With aid the number of tanks not counting losses is that of US. With aid the artillery systems count is roughly same as US not counting losses. Europe itself sent more than 1/3 of all of its weapons as aid (!) This would be equivalent of Russia invading US and US managing to invade it back if oceans dried up and there was land bridge. Would Russia be pathetic for being able to take and hold large chunk of US? As for Mexico - do they even have air defenses? Canada does not have a single air defense system other than hand held stuff and air force... Russia is doing excellent thanks to preparation. It took them years to prepare. They correctly calculated what the west can do, what west can send and they planned for it. This is why Russia is able to make more artillery shells than entire west combined even including Japan and South Korea. This is why Russia can make more missiles than entire west combined. This is why Russia can make more tanks than entire west combined... I think you get the picture.

  20.  @PhysicsGamer  Czehia sent around 60% plus of all their weapons. Same for Baltic states. I know it sounds ridiculous but its a fact. Poland sent about half of its tanks. Russia did take initially large parts of Ukraine but could not hold them without mobilizing - something Putin refused to do. To expect Russia to take whole Ukraine, country larger than France, in few days is a joke when you realize they are using their regular army and just over 100k at that. Anyone whom believed that is an idiot. Clearly US government has plenty of rather retarded people in it. I think people don't realize Ukraine was very well armed - as I stated - it had massive stock pile of weapons from Soviet times and a sizable army. It also had multi layer defenses in the east built since 2014. Russia just few weeks ago finally passed the last 2014 defenses. For 2023 offensive west sent Ukraine around 10,000 vehicles of different types. 10k. Let that sink in. Russia is doing way, way, way better than expected anywhere in the west - what was the quote from idiots in US - "I cannot wait to see their tin can army crushed" - guess it was not tin can army after all...

  21. Russia is not interested in cease fire as it would allow Ukraine to re-arm. Russia is only interested now in unconditional surrender.

  22.  @ixfr123  Well battle of the Bulge had valid targets and was better thought out. This was plain stupid. But net result is the same.
    1
  23.  @ixfr123  it is like a battle of the Bulge as it is an act of desperation. Both Nazi Germany and Ukraine knew they lost the war but they refuse to surrender. The main difference is that Germans actually had military objectives in mind while Ukrainian objectives are a total mystery. Both Germany and Ukraine wasted precious resources they could use to prolong their futile defense. In retrospect Ukraine did everyone a favor as war will end sooner.

  24.  @ixfr123  Who said 3 days? West. Who said NK troops are used? West. Who is retreating every day? Ukraine. Less than 10 counter attacks per month.... Full defense and constant retreat. And they are desperate.... desperate? Why? City of Soledove fell in a week. 22000 pre war population. Multiple villages captured per day... But they are desperate...

  25. Of course and now Ukraine realizes its mistake and redeploys from Kursk....

  26.  @reboundrides8132  Of course, now its going according to Russian plan. Ukraine badly out gunned is being ground down in attrition war. All Russia needs to do is continue till Kiev comes to its senses or runs out of people. Either way is good for Putin. Bleeding Ukraine dry at minimal own costs. I am unsure why such plan - that is working - is a bad plan. It was also used by the allies in WWI with similar results. Except in WWI allies did not have such huge fire power advantage as Russia has over Ukraine.

  27. These are Russian islands as per international law.

  28.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  no they are not. UN says that nations have the right to decide their future. Thus it is the right of the people of Crimea to secede from Ukraine. The right they have legally executed.

  29.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  So what? Golan heights are Syrian according to 99% of the world. Taiwan is Chinese according to 99% of the world. Kosovo is Serbia according to 90%+ of the world. Need I go on?

  30.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  Crimea belongs to the people of Crimea.

  31.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  Umm, there were not even "illegitimate" elections/ referendums anywhere else I mentioned. Border changes after WWI and WWII by the victorious side were also not proceeded by any referendums. Most land transfers were political with a hint of basing them on ethnic makeup. This is why Sudeten land was taken from Germany and Silesia from Poland. So it may come as a shock to you but no one so far even bothered to hold any votes.

  32.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  "Crimean referendum of 20 January 1991. The referendum asked Crimeans whether they wanted to restore autonomy to the region, and just over 93% of voters approved. " "in May 1992 the Crimean parliament established a Crimean constitution, and in September-October 1993 it established the post of President of Crimea. But in early 1994, after a polarising election campaign, Crimeans elected as their President a strongly pro-Russian candidate, Yuriy Meshkov. A power struggle between the Ukrainian parliament and the Crimean parliament commenced. Another Crimean referendum in March 1994 asked three questions: ‘1.3 million voted, 78.4% of whom supported greater autonomy from Ukraine, 82.8% supported allowing dual Russian-Ukrainian citizenship, and 77.9% favored giving Crimean presidential decrees the force of law’." So from the very start Crimea was not interested in being part of Ukraine. Even in early 1990s when Ukraine was not doing too bad - it was doing as well as Russia and better than Poland. In later years Ukraine started to disintegrate while both Poland and Russia flourished. Ukraine grip on Crimea is not justifiable by any EU laws - yet EU supports it - which shows what kind of institution EU is.

  33.  @tapultanul97  I do consider them as Russian version of Sudetenland - and if you do as well than you fully agree they should belong to Russia.

  34.  @tapultanul97  Taiwan is seen as Chinese as it is legally part of China. If US applied its policy evenly it would have helped PRC take Taiwan back... but somehow they help rebels in Taiwan yet they disagree with Russia helping rebels in Donbass... strange, no?

  35.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  Not US is not. US does not support Crimea as part of Russia. Instead US supports Ukraine. There is no aid to Russia to fend of Ukraine occupation.

  36.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  Whose laws are these? And why should Russia fall under them? The west does not care about them so why should anyone else? Laws are created by stronger - once east is seen as stronger a lot of things west does will be illegal and US will be forced to pay repatriations or face sanctions.

  37.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  Russia helped people of Crimea throw Ukrainian occupier off their land. US is supplying Kiev regime to fight Russia and occupy land against the will of the people. You are very confused by propaganda person.

  38. Of course Ukraine should surrender - not doing so is same as advocating for Nazi Germany to fight to the end. Republicans don't want all Ukrainians dead in difference to Democrats. For what, few more dead Russians?

  39. Umm, not sure - not anytime in the last few hundred years. Russia has not been this strong since fall of Soviet Union - maybe mid 1980s.

  41. But they will not retake them - now what?

  42.  @hummingbirdman  correct.

  43. And now leaving them for Putin as they run away from the region. Massive losses for what???

  44. Which as this war has shown was a correct assessment.

  46.  @o0alessandro0o  In Russia smiling is not common. Putin is a chess player - no emotions. He plays and enemy made a foolish attack deep into his line. For which Putin is slowly moving to mate.

  47. Who cares. Ukrainians gambled and lost now moving troops away from Kursk. Putin won.

  48. Ukrainians did not cut even single supply line - that would be a success - but they failed to do so.

  50. They can - Russia now is counting on some major operation there.
