Wtf’s happening? Doesn’t look like Ukraine is offering much of a resistance, just let them waltz into the capital basically unopposed? Or are the Russians just that good?
The Serbs put up a much tougher and longer fight against NATO and that was basically a bombing campaign.
Maybe they’re pulling back and preparing for a prolonged guerrilla war
- I tell you like a 100% times that i'm a friendly guy, then i'm going to slap you one morning so hard that you can't pull your shit together for hours.sted
- yeah I wondered the same. The Ukraine military is nowhere near the power of Russia but still has a relatively big budget.NBQ00
- On top of that the Ukraine officials have been very naive regarding the whole thing and not believing the Russians would invade.NBQ00
- I can do in those hours whatever i want because your attention will be always at the wrong place.sted
- @NBQ00 we have no idea what went down there. But we can guess that the Putler did everything to make them believe that they won't attack.sted
- It’s a no-win situation for Ukraine, the west abandoned them, left to take on Russia alone. So either Russia annihilates them and takes over or_niko
- ...the let them take over and are spared the destruction and loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. This whole thing is so fucked up_niko
- This whole abandonment rhetoric is a bit biased. Regardless of how awful the situation is, currently there is no real reason to drag the whole world into it.sted
- I'm sure it will be used in the future as an example.sted
- It's not exactly surprising, Russia is one of the world's most powerful militaries and has fought multiple wars in the past couple decades.yuekit
- not to discount the Ukrainian defenders, I've seem videos of regular citizens being given arms, I know they want to fight but man are the unprepared._niko

- This is so sad, I’m sure they’re just kids, I’m sure they’re doing their best but are scared shitless. Doesn’t look like there is any leadership or military..._niko
- ...strategy here. Russia sent in 200,000 professional and seasoned fighters. So sad._niko
- those are footsoilders the guy on the left with the black helmet gets a warning, and they leave, hopefully in time.sted

Ukraine officials saying they killed about 1000 Russian troops so far. Not sure if that's believable. But who knows.
- Remember, for weeks after the invasion in Iraq their ministers were saying there's no invasion.Morning_star

So much focus on Putin, I wonder if it is letting the other 144 million people in Russia off the hook too easily?
Yes it's an authoritarian state but ultimately this is being done in their name. And when you think about what will actually bring down Putin, it can only be the Russian people themselves. Either a real mass protest (hundreds of thousands rather than what looked like hundreds yesterday) or someone in the power structure taking him out.
- Probably 50% approve him. The other 50% is afraid to end up like Navalny or Pussy Riot women.NBQ00
- Much like the West they are fed a relentless stream of media diarrhoea, half at least will think he's making Russia great again.fadein11
- only 8% approval for an invasion in polls, i imagine similar in ukrainekingsteven
- encouraging if accurate, he needs to be removed from within after the codes have been changed.fadein11

- Yeah that was the video of tank crushing elderly man I talked about before.NBQ00
- I'm surprised they dragged him out alive (injured).NBQ00
- fuck sake, no need for that. presuming the tank driver didn't see the car coming.shapesalad
- Of course he saw it coming and intentionally drove over it.NBQ00

Putin on TV today speaking to Ukraine military:
"Take the power into your hands. It seems to me that negotiations between you and us would be easier than with the gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis who have settled in Kiev and taken the entire Ukrainian population hostage".

Interesting take from 2015.
Here’s the full talk. Puts everything into context
- TL;DV?sted
- every fucking time i watch a video like this it triggers the old USSR anti-west propaganda memory cells in my brain.sted
- Legendary political scientist John Mearsheimer predicted in 2015 exactly what's happening in Ukraine right now.Milan
- 90 seconds is too long for sted's attention span. make it shorter plz.Milan
- How is this anti-west? He’s just talking about policyGnash
- great vid and great insights, should have listened to him._niko
- This has been posted a few times, I think the only problem is that he allows for zero agency for Ukraine themselves, when in reality they made many of theukit2
- decisions. The West can't just "force" Ukraine to be neutral or not aspire to closer ties with EU if its a democracy.ukit2
- Didn’t know it was posted. My bad. But he didn’t say to force the ukes 2b neutral, just that west actively encourage them 2b aggressiveGnash
- LOL fist one is 90s? :D
i'm going to watch these, its just not now :)sted - 1st one is just a snippet from the talkGnash

- "the brown people U.S. killed?" ahaha defending one of the most racist countries in the world with this line? everybody just count the black people in Russia.sted

Ukraine Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said Friday that Russian forces have lost 2,800 service members since the start of the invasion.
She added that Russia also lost 80 tanks, 516 armored combat vehicles, 10 aircraft and seven helicopters.
"We are strong!" she said "Victory will be ours!"

"This invasion doesn't make sense."
i will tell you why this is wrong.
The goal isn't ukraine, it's to rebalance world order.
The globalists like Klaus Schaub (world economic forum) are working with Russia and China as the model for global authoritarianism so THEY need Russia and China to lead this great reset.
The GOAL is to cause Chaos for the markets, food, energy and create a collapse that allows them to usher in their great reset and global prison planet through the financial monetary system.
And they will use blockchain to control what people buy, who they donate too and if they should have their access restricted or removed.
That's why politicians don't care about inflation. They BELIEVE you don't have a right to make a living, or have access to meat or air conditioning or heat your home.
This is George Berndard Shaws (and Utopians) wet dream. Justify your existence by producing more than you take or you die.
- Without any conspiracy theories, it makes sense purely from an economic perspective. A Russia that includes Ukraine would be a much more formidable power.monNom
- ^ True. The Ukraine is a younger, more well educated population with better economic prospects.MondoMorphic
- Re. the Great Reset stuff, I'm sure some of that is true but fwiw, decentralized blockchains help us resist.MondoMorphic
- There was a list of resources posted in this thread. Ukraine is in the top 10 of a lot of them. But importantly - arable land, iron, coal and uranium.monNom
- As we just discovered in Canada, blockchain doesn't matter if the intermediaries won't transact with it.monNom
