  1. @gdaylilpiggy I don't think he was actually invited, he asked to come. Plus had he just kept his mouth shut none of this would have happened.
    151
  2. The Telegraph is a fully owned subsidiary of the Five Eyes now.
    101
  3. Amazing how they are now making slow but steady progress with only 10% of their troops left.
    74
  4. The Ukrainian propagandist (I mean that in a good way) entirely missed the Minsk agreements and the Istanbul negotiations.
    56
  5. @grisall The Ukraine is neither a friend nor ally of the United States. It is at best a huge fiscal drain.
    35
  6. The newest EU member
    33
  7. Sad about the young journalist. Russia should free all journalists.
    32
  8. ​ @ThomasBusby A key element in Ukrainian national identity is the language. The go so far as to say the Russians stole the language from them and then constructed an artificial language and that Russians aren't Slavs but Finno-Ugrics who adopted the 'stolen' language.
    31
  9. Does anyone in the Ukraine speak Ukrainian?
    30
  10. The difference between Putin's Russia and the West is a matter of degree, not kind.

  11. Just goes to show there are good profs at even non "elite" institutions

  12. Giving money to foreigners is not his job.

  13. @leszjacobs1637 About time someone stood up for the US and for peace.

  14. ​ @joeyfotofr  Immigration isn't necessary.

  15. I shudder to think what the side that is retreating has experienced.
    18
  16. LOL, I couldn't believe this was new. I guess the Telegraph is operating on the 'broken clock is correct twice per day' theory.

  18. Carlson is a real journalist, not a stenographer for the Kiev government.

  19. Okay, I think this war should end. But cutting Ukrop intel like that when we encouraged them in this war three years ago really is a bad look.
    17
  20. What's with the ads?
    16
  21. Donetsk and Lugansk voted for autonomy way back in 1994.
    16
  22. Time for peace talks.

  23. I've seen some Ukrainian young men fight like h*lol when the military press gangs try to snatch them off the street.
    16
  24. Oh sure, we're just gonna depose the president of a nuclear armed power, a guy who has surrounded himself with competent and patriotic ministers and councilors.
    15
  25. @ryangrey Call your congressperson and tell them to stop sending money to the Ukraine.
    14
  26. Protecting US taxpayers is his job.

  27.  @TL-xw6fh  So they have to become a minority in their own country?

  28. Imagine believing that the UK can 'pressure' the US.

  29. ​ @ajuc005 He said the Russian state was starting to consolidate itself, which is absolutely true as a historical process.

  30. So, they have no strategy?

  32.  @stephenlyon1358  Until they are drafting 16 and 66 year olds.

  33. How can all these civilians be killed and injured and all these buildings be destroyed if the Ukrainians 'intercepted' so many missiles and drones in what was a relatively small barrage?
    12
  34. China hasn't given weapons, just parts that can be used to make weapons. Russia pays for the weapons from the other places, they aren't gifts. And there are few to no Iranians or North Koreans operating or 'training' operators of those weapons in Russia.
    12
  35. Flagged as misinformation.
    11
  36. Battlefield reports a la Dom 20th 'No movement' 21st 'No movement' 22nd 'No movement' 23rd 'No movement' 24th 'No movement' 25th 26th 27th 'Russians have taken Velika Novosilka, we were expecting that'.
    11
  37. ​ @Tryzub-x7t Crimea was an autonomous territory which voted to join Russia in 2014. Donetsk and Lugansk voted for autonomy from Kiev way back in 1994. Russia and Putins position is that the current government in Kiev is illegitimate due to the Majdan coup so all deals are off.
    11
  38. Send Frank and Dom.
    11
  39. I watched the whole thing and it seemed to me the participant service members were pretty stoked. The band was great. The sun was shining though I understand the day was cold. Putin was on point if a little low energy. The parade commanders including Shoigu were sharp. I didnt get the beating of the drum stick during the 'minute of silence', that was offputting. Of course the British war hungry press focused on the one non mention of nuclear weapon...put referenced 'strategic forces' but didnt actually say the word nuclear.
    11
  40. Funny how these missile attacks and miraculous shoot downs always seem to happen when Zelensky is at some meeting of honchos abroad.
    11
  41. It is thanks to Putin she has a pension at all.
    10
  42. Russia doesn't need sympathy.
    10
  43. Where are the videos of captured North Koreans?
    10
  44. Yet not one word in the Telegraph about Gonzalo Lira, the American citizen blogger who died in a Ukrainian prison. Whattaboutism? Yes. What about the hypocrisy.
    10
  45.  @evilaquaman  They don't stop to ask how Russia can be advancing, at an increasing rate, while losing a brigade every three days.
    10
  46. And the EU wasnt spending money on the Moldovan elections?
    10
  47.  @aleksklochko  Who are in the 'residential buildings'?
    10
  48. Dom Dom Dom...the US is by far the biggest funder of NATO. This 'percent of GDP' stuff doesn't change the absolute value of 'contributions'.
    10
  49. Sometimes weapons systems just turn out to be bad ideas. See for example the US DDX (or Zumwalt class) destroyers. The Armata is one of these.
    10
  50. Dom, Dom, Dom...the 'airframe' isn't the 'avionics'. Can't believe a helicopter pilot doesn't know this.

  60. What treaties would those be?

  61. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Yugoslavia, or for that matter the 'Orange Revolution' and the 'Revolution of Nulandi...uh, Dignity'. Yup, the G7 loves them some 'rules based' international order.

  64. 'Latvian' with an obviously 'Latvianized' German name. Just like the country itself, a modern construct with little in terms of historical roots.

  66. Weird that a guy with a North American accent heads the British council.

  67. Estonia has a population of 1.3 million people. The size of San Diego California. Why do we listen to them? Its like listening to the chief of police of a medium sized city.

  68. Three border walls...we could have three border walls for that 60 billion.

  69. Kudos to the scholar who had the intellectual honesty to recognize the strong pro Russian sentiment in Mariupol. Now imagine she hadnt been escorted around by a pro Kiev actor, imagine she wasnt funded by some sort of Western NGO or EU funds...thats the way UK/EU post grad works. Imagine she actually spoke Russian...the only relevant language in Mariupol because it was never part of any 'Ukrainian' cultural area. Her views would be even more truthful
    7
  70. Just a correction...Donbas was not a poor region in Ukrainian terms. The ultranationalist Western oblasts are far poorer

  74. @wackadakka3134 LOL, just three days ago they launched dozens of missiles from surface combatants in the Black Sea.

  76. If this was the Ukrainians the Zelegraf would be: 'Ukrainian geniuses use their ingenuity to stymie Russia drone operators by creating a turtle tank'

  78. According to reports on Telegram channels, with images, the Ukries managed to donate a couple of US made MRAPs to the Russians.

  82.  @Ode-to-Odysseus  That's not the case. In fact Russia has just reached the outskirts of Kupyansk (which was retaken by the Ukraine in the vaunted Autumn 2022 counteroffensive. Plus the area of Kursk controlled by the Ukraine has shrunk to 50% of the 1200 km^2 or even less.
    6
  83.  @bodins2704 the The full video, strangely cut here shows around 30 launches of the exact same type of missile. The Dillweeds obviously had two launchers in close proximity for some reason. Even US now admits one was ''damaged"
    6
  84. @marisabenson1222 And the Tatars genocided the Ostrogoths, Black Sea Greeks, and Rus already living in Crimea. This is well documented in written history. They are not indigenous to Crimea...in fact Stalin sent them home to Central Asia.

  85. We heard from the NAFO crowd that a ceasefire would only allow Russia to regroup, rearm and rebuild. Now that Russia is making advances, that argument works in reverse.

  89. @gregoryadair3223 Dude, just live your life. Nothing gets very much better, nothing gets horribly worse. The Ukraine is far far away from us. We lived the first 7/8s of our country's existence with most of it under Russian control (the rest under the Austrian Empire or the Poles).

  93. @misterborak751 I just watched a vid of a delivery robot, not in Moscow or Peter, but in Krasnodar. Russia is catching up rapidly after 60+ years of communism, huge sacrifices during WWII, and the decade of being r*p*d by the west that was the 90s.

  108. The US ambassador can't get a translation of a 6 page document translated within an hour? He also neglected to mention the network of 9 + CIA bases established in the Ukraine before 2020, and the US/UK interrupting the very real possibility of peace with zero territorial concessions (maybe including Crimea) in April 2022. Also, wasn't the sledgehammer thing years ago and in Syria?

He said there will be warning before hand, as there was this time. The UK wasnt mentioned by names at all. The USA was mentioned in conjunction with our withdrawal from arms limitation treaties and our 'attempts to hold on to hegemony'. The entire speech is available with corrected translation on Michael Rossi Poli Sci. It is only 12 minutes, not long winded at all. Edit: Putin's address is actually under 8 minutes

    3
  170.  @marisabenson1222  No it isn't. Because the east and south of the 'internationally recognized' Ukraine was never 'Ukrainian' in any sense. The Russian empire took the land from the Ottomans and the Crimean Khanate. And that's why virtually everyone there speaks Russian as their native language.
    3
  171. Stalin didn't 'invade' Poland until two full weeks after the Germans did and the Polish had been routed with zero effective help coming from the West. This was a repeat of the run up to Munich where the Soviets wanted to help Czechoslovakia but France and the UK didn't and Poland actively interfered with efforts of the USSR to provide help and even worked with Germany to threaten CzSl. The area of 'Poland' the Red Army entered was mostly East Slavic Orthodox i.e Rusyns or Ukrainians or Belorussiane and even today that area is now the mostly in the 'internationally recognized' Ukraine.'

Latvia and Estonia didn't exist as 'nations' before the mid 19th century and the advent of German 'romantic nationalism'...the same that inspired such people as Wagner and the failed Austrian painter.

Victoria Amolina herself was meeting with an ex-defense minister of Columbia (not just 'journalists') who runs a pressure group for Ukraine in Latin America. Clearly a strike on a military target. Too bad Ukraine has chosen to mix its military assets in with its civilian population.

Organize 'popular' protests which, even if they numbered 200,000 participants, would only be one fifth of the population of Tblisi. The problem is we've run out of colors to bestow on this prospective 'revolution'. BTW it is not unusual that people living in the EU might be more pro the EU kowtowing party. I wonder how the many Georgians who live in the Russian Federation voted...or if they even had the opportunity to vote.

The most known/successful is four time rowing champion and 'master of sport' [for the Ukraine] Larisa Zhalinkaya ...or as the Ukrainian government calls her Larisa Zhalinska. The rower claims that the VSU is forcibly conscripting athletes. Here's the report from the UA government "Larisa Zhalinska, a Ukrainian rower, member of Ukraine's national team, and an internationally classified Master of Sports of Ukraine, has moved to the Russian Federation. Her actions and statements suggest support for the unprovoked armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Additionally, they indicate attempts to undermine trust in Ukraine’s Defense Forces, as well as betrayal of national interests and the Ukrainian state."

  417. "Dom" seems to forget Kosovo, where after the first arial bombing of a European capital post WWII, the border of 'internationally recognized' Serbia was redrawn. Even some EU/NATO nations don't recognize that violation of sovereignty, but the US and UK do and in fact instigated it. He also seems to think the EU doesn't try to extend its 'sphere of influence'...for example the 1.9 B Euros just given to Moldavia to be doled out by the not overwhelmingly popular president Sandu. It's only nefarious when the Russians try to influence countries on their border, right 'Dom'?

  439. The 'expert' doesn't even know how long Bout has been in captivity. Its since 2010 (12 years) in US custody and another two in Thai custody. So 50% longer than the 'expert' says, would would actually help him in his point, that Bout is 'out of touch'. Personally I don't think that's right. There are still going to be guys around that worked with him. 14 years isn't 30 years. There are going to be guys that know of him. There's going to be something of a cache about working with him. He might have even made contacts in US prison (that's been known to happen). And there is just him...he isn't young anymore but he isn't old, and still will have to a great degree the same characteristics and skills that made him a top arms dealer.

  453.  @drewmalesky9869  Mexico is a sovereign nation...the US wouldn't even think about allowing them to ally with China. Cuba is a sovereign nation, but we have essentially prevented them from trading with much of the world because we don't like their system of government. We even blockaded them ...an act of war we called a 'quarantine' to avoid the implications...because we didn't like them deploying missiles to protect themselves.

  454. Well, no, it was decided that Russia would be the successor state. And remember, at the time, the CIS was a real thing (it still is in many ways). Minus the Baltic Pomerianians, the CIS continued and Russia was the agreed successor at the UN.

  455.  @sebastianforbes1  That's the reporting. It's really strange that a 32 year old of some prominence dies suddenly of an event more associated with 50-60-70 year olds, does so in an unusual place, and there are no further details forthcoming. And no speculation from a team that theorizes that Putin is behind every fire, riot, and bit of bad weather in Europe.

  456. The BBC actually did a good job scouring Russian local and social media and found ~14,000 dead. They figure they might have missed at most 60%, so we are talking about 22,000 dead. That was a couple months ago so maybe 24-26000 dead now. I follow a bunch of non-pro Putin vloggers from Russia, both foreigners and Russians, and none has reported knowing anyone who has died.
