  1. Panic b/c of what exactly????

  2. There was no Ukraine or Ukrainian as a concept in times of Catharine the Great - a German.

  3.  @ImperialDiecast  Crimean Tatars are also known as Golden Horde. They are closely related to Volga Tatars which are in Russia. Most Tatars - which is Turkic ethnic group are Russians - like 90%. Cossacks are nomadic or semi nomadic people that occupied (occupy) lands between great rivers on current plains of Ukraine and Russia. Currently they are on Russian side of the conflict - fun fact, the Krasny Liman city is defended against Ukrainian troops by Cossack regiment.

  4. LOL, and what will Russia occupy rest of Europe with - against NATO? Come on, be real. It will take Russia few years to rebuild from this war.

  5. They talk about UA surrender - its same as allies back in 1944.

  6. This is mostly to scare people into paying more taxes. There is small chance of war between east and west. It is clear NATO will loose any war, no matter what they do. So why invest if nukes are the equalizer. So why invest into a certain, unlikely loss? Note Russian side has bigger advantage over NATO than allies had over Nazi. Huge population advantage, more than 2 to 1 and huge economic advantage, more than 2 to 1. I would vote to stop any needless military spending. Also the small country is protected is total BS, look at US dictating to little guy.

  9. He will.

  10. Ukraine is democracy? Is North Korea a democracy?

  11.  @simian_essence  both are one party absolute dictatorships. Ukraine is more similar to Nazi Germany while NK is more of a medieval kingdom.

  12. Ah yes, the aid is 190B per year out of which about 55B are for equipment alone. This is largest aid in human history. The equipment part is roughly equivalent to all purchases of EU countries (!) And people say that weapons are "managed" LOL! Aid for UA adjusted for inflation and per year is MORE than US aid to other allies during WWII - which was 17% of US war expenditures... Sure UA does not get enough aid ;))))

  13.  @harmless6813  Nice try Boris but as per google aid to Ukraine has been 380B as of March 2024, so 190B per year. Aid to Soviet Union as per Google again - taken from bloody US embassy in Russia web page was 180B inflation adjusted between 1941 and 1945. Over 4 years. so per year the aid was less than 45B. Last time I checked 45B is way less than 180B. In case you wonder aid to UK was about 3x that of Soviets over longer period of time - so also LESS.

  14.  @harmless6813  Google points out info from reliable source - such as US embassy to Russia. Is US government reliable source for you on WWII aid data or not?
    1
  15. ​ @harmless6813  You have 64B as a US aid only in weapons - I assume its maybe as of September? So you fully agree with me and my numbers. Good to know. Total aid per year of 190B, with US portion of the aid as military only (weapons) aid of less than 30B per year. Largest ever military aid in human history to a single country - agreed?

  16. There was no end of the 2014 conflict. Many people consider this current events continuation of 2014.

  18. F16s need to be sent as Ukraine has no air force left. This is just pro longing the fight not any game changer at all. In fact it is a downgrade from MiG-29 which can be used in much rougher conditions.

  19.  @anderspuck  Why you see a problem? Russia has like 2 extra bridges already + they just fixed Antonovsky brodge. The dam bridge has only minor damage and video shows trucks and busses have no issues driving over it.

  20.  @kuroneko77716  there are like 10000 videos, actual western commentary and agreed by both side facts. I mean west admits that Russia has at least 5x advantage in artillery. West admits that Russia has 100x advantage in long range missiles. And so on.

  21.  @correctionguy7632  He is neutral. Ukraine having 100k in Bakhmut seems realistic as well, I don't see any propaganda here, remember the fight for the city was over a very, very long time. I realize fan boys of this guy are so pro Ukraine that nothing, not even neutral positions will shift them. Well, so be it. Once the war will end you will be shocked the lies here - and author will simply state he did it for the good of Ukraine ;) But the author here is not pro Ukraine. He wants Ukraine to bleed. He wants country to disappear from the map. He is not a friend.

  22.  @theonlylauri  Not sure what a scare quote is. In 2010 Ukraine made Bandera a hero of Ukraine and started to slowly encroach on the rights of ethnic Russians. By 2014 we had things such as Odessa massacre. Ukraine, or more specifically Kiev regime, also did not exactly live by the treat. I fully support the fight for freedom of both people of Crimea and Donbass - they have the right, as all humans do, to live free. The free choice of the people is far more important than any other "laws" or "regulations" that attempt to hamper such freedoms.

  23.  @colinwise8044  After Maiden square once their president was removed sure there was discontent - come on - if you elected a guy and they removed him would you be ... happy? Maybe Donbass and Crimea did not want to outright leave Ukraine but they certainly wanted something to happen. There was no intervention of Russian "mercenaries and irregular forces in Crimea" - they had their regular forces there. "The Odessa event looks like an accident that would not have happened if Putin had not done his best to sow discord in Ukraine" please - Putin's fault? Really? This event has 100% shown the true side of Banderites - they were BACK. The worst evil on earth was born again. And do you care what people of Ukraine want? Like all of them? Donbass was supposed to go back to Ukraine with set of rights as a territory. But nope, none of this was materialized - I am sure its Putin's fault. It is also Putin's fault that Kiev wants to go to NATO at any cost - even if it means burning down all of Ukraine. Strange no? This is why so many people in Donbas fight against Kiev regime - they want freedom. They are tired of empty stuff. Saying in 2014 they did not want to leave Ukraine - neither did UK want to leave EU in 2014. So I guess we have to de-legitimize their referendum, correct? Elections are held every few years as people view changes. So did view of people of Donbas - they no longer want to be part of Ukraine. Why the west insists incorporation by force is a solution? I support freedom for Donbass and their choice. Sure Russia had its hand in it - but so does US or anyone else - so everyone is as guilty. May I remind you of embassies that US has in countries it controls that are the size of small cities? No influence there ;) Millions or Billions spent on Ukraine by US also does not count, I guess, in influence shaping - so why blame Russia?
    1
  24.  @colinwise8044  Ah yes, people burned themselves ;) And again somehow fault of Putin - I guess he instructed people to set fire to a building with at least 40 pp inside. And I love the idea that if they make one decision its final forever - who cares what referendum said in 1991? You do know we have elections every few years as people change opinions and things change. In 1991 Ukraine was Bandera free - not so much later on like in 2014. So this argument makes no sense at all. Also we do know that after Maiden there were very strong anti Ukraine feelings in Crimea - we do know over 70% of Ukraine army stationed in Crimea joined Russia. If your troops join the "enemy" in large numbers then clearly they do not want to be part of Ukraine. Kiev was with different president in 2013 - irrelevant. They wanted to be in NATO by 2014. They wanted to be in NATO at any cost in 2022 even if they needed to fight a war for it. Looking at Donbas right now almost all males of military age fight for freedom. If any left their homes (and many did) they did so to go to Russia. "people of Donbas did regularly have their say and would have had it again following Maidan" - LOL, sure - you must be kidding - their president was just removed by force and new Ukraine just banned their culture and language. What do you want these pp do - I would fight for freedom as well! "They might have elected many MPs or even a president sympathetic to Russia. " - LOL, Ukraine arrested all opposition and all MPs. "Much of it was in promoting or supporting democracy." i.e. western US version of it. Not actual freedom. If someone wanted anyone "poisoned" dead they would be dead. Same as any other strange poisonings. They are a joke. Bottom line is people have the right to determine their future. People of Donbas do not see that future in Ukraine but with Russia. You can say that "Putin changed their mind" or some similar stuff - but that is just a way to go around election results - I mean anyone can say that Biden is not true US president as Americans were coerced by say... Putin? Do you think that would fly? I think democrats actually tried that with Trump. Past results of elections etc. are of no importance. What counts is now and current will of the people. Kiev regime knows 100% they cannot win any referendums in Donbass or Crimea - even if we get 100% of people that were there in 2022 and had residency. After all, would you vote for regime that shelled you for past 8 or 9 years? Ukraine today is one party multi leader dictatorship. There are no freedoms. There is no opposition and people that are inconvenient are disposed off by force. Go ahead, ask why Ukraine does not want any referendums that are totally free? Go ahead ask why they fight a war given they can end it by simply saying they want to be neutral? Strange they say they want NATO for safety yet they lost all that safety b/c of NATO. Nuland and US admitting to some spending is also not exactly to be trusted. There is a reason countries are banning or taking a careful eye to all these "charities". I wonder how somehow its OK for US to have so much influence in Ukraine but you start to scream when Russia does the same - one is "legal" the other is "evil". To summarize will of the people needs to be respected and the current will not some past will and without any conditions. Simply ask, what they want.

  25. Not just fine - they are winning!!!

  26.  @philliptemple9841  No, are you?

  27. They probably replaced most barrels at last 5x maybe 10x.

  28. Yes, Russians have been reducing Ukrainians all the time and removing both their morale, equipment and generally will to resist.

  29.  @mbak7801  Sure there are some safeties. But there is no reason not to replace when you have them plenty available. Also re-manufacturing them is not rocket science.

  30. Nope. A lot of Russian troops - even seen by Ukrainians - were killed by flooding waters. No troops were moved from the area - in fact more may need to be added as a lot of defensive positions were wiped out.
    1
  31. There is zero chance of tide turning. Ukraine since start of the war had zero success on counterattack. Not even once.
    1
  32. Russia is exactly using nukes to prevent hypothetical aggression of NATO. So will UK attack?
    1
  33. Why would they need bigger army? For what? To finish war sooner? It costs a lot of money to rise a big army - and than what? Disband it? Invade EU? What do you do with such huge army?

  34. Russia.

  36. Trump will simply ask them to surrender now. If they are still in the war by January 2025.

  37. LOL!

  38. Crimea is Russian territory and thus even if Putin was gone any future leader would defend it even with nukes as needed. So Crimea will never "go back" to Ukraine. Russia soundly won this war at least 6 weeks ago, maybe 8 as it is achieving all of its goals set for the operation.

  39. Russia has skin in the game as well - they are also fighting for and defending land of allies and Russian ethnic people. They have as much reason or even more then Kiev regime. These pp have no choice. They have to defeat Kiev at any cost. This is why Ukraine will not win - same reason why US / Russia / UK failed in Afghanistan. Freedom is simply hard to defeat.

  40.  @pavelhranicky8291  General mobilization is expensive. Ukraine already recruited in prisons few months ago. Why do things you do not have to do???
    1
  41.  @pavelhranicky8291  But ethnic Russians in these regions are fully mobilized - i.e. they are all in the army already. Donbass mobilized as soon as Ukraine mobilized, at the same time. What you need to see as distinction is which part of Ukraine, is it in Donbass or is it outside of Donbass. For example, there is not that much will to fight in Kherson other then for say for water supply for Crimea or b/c Ukraine would bombard areas of Russia proper such as Crimea or Donbass. Telling pp we need 100km buffer is less convincing then we need to get your home back. Support for Crimea is like 95% in Russia - even Navalny sees it as part of Russia. At the same time Kherson probably does not have more then 50%. DPR / LPR only want to fight in Donbass. Or for Russia proper as 2nd choice, not so much for say Dnipro. Good example of what is going on.

  42.  @pavelhranicky8291  WHAT? There is not a hint of what are you saying. There is a clear resolve to fight. Crimean, Donbass, Ukraine, Russia etc. Belongs to people that live there. Period. If these pp want to join Russia - it is Russia. If they want to join Ukraine, its Ukraine. Period. We no longer live in imperial times - we live in more civilized world where pp should be given a choice. Freedom win these days, and it can be seen after 20 year stay of US in Afghanistan. Same thing in Crimea and Donbass. They do not want to be part of Kiev regime. Crimea belonged to Ukraine, but then it seceded from Ukraine and as independent state joined Russia. I am sure you can now throw some legality fit, to which I remind you it was illegal for US to secede from UK as well ;) Also I remind you a lot of land that makes your country is based on people that LIVE there. Otherwise maybe you should give some land back to Germany, huh?!

  43.  @pavelhranicky8291  LOL! Russia was all for real referendum as well - even in Donbass ;) With UN and US and EU as watchdogs. Totally legit. Ukraine refused. What on earth possessed you to think that they would allow people choice?!?! Why Siberia would separate from Russia proper ;) Yes, I believe in choice - too bad only few places on earth give such choice. Most countries do not - heck even somewhat civilized places such as Spain do not allow referendums... maybe b/c they know Catalonia would leave. Finally what about Georgia - why they do not have referendum? Or maybe even Azerbaijan. Or so many other places. I assume you firmly believe Taiwan does not have a choice either and needs to listen to Beijing? I also assume you do not support Kosovo?
    1
  44.  @pavelhranicky8291  You can do referendum with UN / US / UK and any of these democracies. Results would be the same. A lot of referendums by so called "democratic powers" were with soldiers on the streets. Heck, may I remind you of elections in Afghanistan? Were there US soldiers there? Were the elections "fair"? Exactly. Was above resolved by "political menas"? No - oh why not? I guess "democratic powers" do not like to play? What about all these coups where US overturned democratic government? Say like Iran? Why not resolve through "political means"? What about Kosovo - why not return it to Serbia then - there was not even fake referendum there! Sometimes you need to fight for what is yours. This is what Russia do. I support their fight for their home. Ukraine did not allow referendum for Crimea or Donbass - so revolution it is. If you were so law abiding regarding rules and sitting at a table to do political means you would not have your country right now!

  45.  @macmcleod1188  You do know they get paid at least monthly :) Why would young well off Russians not have skin in the game? It is their country. Same thing can be said of many well of Ukrainians - they also do not have skin in the game by same argument! This is why so many young Ukrainians left and are seen all over Europe or north America. Why not fight for their country - or shall we say Donbass? How many millions have left Ukraine, never to return in pas few years? Even before the war???? Country of 54m before 1991 reduced to just 37m before this current conflict. That is a loss of what exactly, 17m. Even if you exclude Crimea and Donbass regions from 2021 it is like 10m loss (!)
    1
  46.  @pavelhranicky8291  WHAT DO YOU MEAN - it happened like 10 years ago! Last time a democratic power organized a referendum and annexed the territory. 10 years ago or so. Hello, Kosovo?! "Serbia lost any claim on Kosovo when it used ethnical cleansing as a final solution there." Oh, so I guess you agree then that Ukraine lost any claim to both Crimea and Donbass. Thank you for agreeing on that point. Oh, regarding your country - I have a feeling it has tiny bit LONGER history then last 25 years, no, think deeper. Finally, regarding annexation and referendums - that was the correct solution to crisis after WWI. Land was given based on who lived there and this is how new nations were created. Sure, people from Kherson can go back to Ukraine - this was original proposal for peace which Ukraine refused. Ukraine did not want to end this war based on ethnic divide. It would be foolish for Russia to give back land to Ukraine which it captured without any peace deal. For a pariah Russia is doing very well - guess who defeated soundly pro Ukraine resolution at UN few days ago! Only west supported it, the rest of the planet shown a middle finger. People are not as stupid as you think, they can clearly see that Ukraine does not want peace and wants to continue abusing Russians which rose up. I also support people fighting for their freedom. Democracy is based on freedom. You are good to remember that. How free are you exactly?

  47.  @mirekslechta7161  about 50k troops out of which over 40k are Russians (there are Chinese at over 2000, Indians probably same number and some former republics like Tajikistan). So I realize that the 40k can later be deployed in Ukraine.
    1
  48.  @pavelhranicky8291  According to your country Kosovo does not belong to Serbia it belongs to Kosovo which is about as close to Albania as Donbass is to Russia. Maybe you need to actually read about the issue there. Kosovo - Albania - Serbia issue is EXACTLY the same as Donbass - Russia - Ukraine issue. Exactly. Every little detail. Ethnical cleansing definition is different for everyone - its a very broad term. Was there attack on Russian culture, language and customs? Yes of course. Such attacks are all over Baltic states as well (former Nazi). Are they forcing Russians out of their homes? In some cases yes. Are they using gas to finish them off - so far no. Which resolution - from August 25th. Sure you live in a country that you can do all of that - lets see how far you go when you actually do stuff that are NOT popular and once you become a threat. They will cancel you. And if you are big enough threat they will sanction you. So much for "freedom" nowdays. You do not have a lot of knowledge of stuff going on around you. Its all propaganda. These news you watch - propaganda. Most of what you read online propaganda. Everything. To figure out a slimmer of truth you need to use logic and filter through the lies.

  50. Yep, nukes were already proposed. If Putin is replaced with Progrozin Ukraine is done for. He would mobilize 600k and run them over including Kiev.
