Finland set to join NATO in the next months. Russia warned that Finland is risking a full destruction of Finland.
- Russia reminds me of Chemical Ali from the Iraq invasion.Chimp
- Nuclear Ali, sadly. Otherwise Moscow would be dust now.tank02
- That's a good point. Finland will find out if they are all talk or not.Chimp
- here comes the NBQ00, for him war is like porn.sted
- as soon as we're done or 2 day full destruction of Ukraine, Finland is next!_niko

- Yes sted, me posting articles and news here (like you and others) it means that war is like porn for me.NBQ00

- pretty shitty, is this so that they bleed out and die a slow death?_niko
- guess bombing that theatre full of civilians was a tipping point...
this conflict will reverb thru' generations, no Russian will sleep peacefully for many agesgrafician - one bullet to the legs of the officers is a humane way to do it. sheer luck if you make it or bleed to death, just as the artillery shells they fired.pr2
- Fuck... there's no point doing that. No matter what the enemy does - show them compassion, show them love, it's the only way a war can be won.shapesalad
- Yeah it's fucked up and hopefully the exception. I've seen Russians doing similar with shooting POW's. - kinda difficult to keep a...NBQ00

Vladimir Putin's defence minister 'vanishes with heart problems'

Journalist Roman #Tsimbalyuk reported that a #Russian serviceman ran over his commander with a tank, who sent his comrades-in-arms to their certain death. Now the run over colonel is being treated in a #Belarusian hospital.

- Sorry, but how does someone get run over by a fucking 46-tonne tank, and survives to get treated for it? As much as I would *love* to believe this little gem ..Continuity

I think the culprit to how far this invasion has escalated were FSB's false reports about pro-Russian sentiment in Ukraine.
Putin anticipated to have a quick 3-day victory and maybe did not want this massacre to begin with. He is now busy cleansing the ranks of his FSB agents, but in the long term he's trapped and does not know what to do. He can't abort now.
However successful the Ukrainian army is, I think Russia is still quantitatively superior, even if they win by showering Ukraine with Russian corpses.
The only good scenario is that Putin is overthrown by a gang of high-ranking FSB officers followed by some decorative revolution and they elect some internationally recognized leader like Navalny in his place.
Worst case Russia wins and Putin has no choice but to build Gulag v2.0 to keep his power, the greatest prison of peoples in the world.
Discuss
- yeah I don't see what Putin's end game is here, even if he "wins" he loses.
A pyrrhic victory is his best case scenario._niko - Ukraine military is amazingly badass considering they have less fire-power but they may win and push Russia back fully. Putin will be butthurt and launch nukes.NBQ00
- the russians are too lazy / stupid / frightened to do anything about it.
they just destroy things out of malice.
this is the russian wayhans_glib - I hope not. At least he can't launch them alone. And hopefully there'll be a coup and somebody kills him.NBQ00
- are pro-Putin nationalists going to be any less hostile to a west approved Navalny figure than to Zalensky? Making Putin a martyrFax_Benson
- could create civil war across Russia?Fax_Benson
- Putin is apparently closer to "winning" in the South, so plan B could be to simply annex more territory from Ukraine in that region.yuekit
- And rile up a whole range of dickheads.Fax_Benson
- A friend of mine has close relatives in Russia and they have no idea what the plan was supposed to be.Fax_Benson
- He's flattened the bit he wants to keep.Fax_Benson
- yuekit, he can't annex the south this time because Ukraine isn't accepting it like they did with Crimea (even if they didn't officially) in a full out war.NBQ00
- There'll be counter-attacks in that area and constant ambushes. Russia won't be able to hold those parts.NBQ00
- Crimea was mostly Russians, and Ukraine cut their water after the annexation. But no mistakes, Crimea is still Ukraine territory at the end of the daygrafician
- The more privations you pile onto Russia, the harder their resolve.Brabo_Brabo
- The sunk cost deepens by the day.. eventually things will go nuclear.Brabo_Brabo
- Why do you care?grafician
- yeah I don't see what Putin's end game is here, even if he "wins" he loses.

The Russians were hunting us down. They had a list of names, including ours, and they were closing in.
We had been documenting the siege of the Ukrainian city by Russian troops for more than two weeks and were the only international journalists left in the city. We were reporting inside the hospital when gunmen began stalking the corridors. Surgeons gave us white scrubs to wear as camouflage.
Suddenly at dawn, a dozen soldiers burst in: “Where are the journalists, for fuck’s sake?”
I looked at their armbands, blue for Ukraine, and tried to calculate the odds that they were Russians in disguise. I stepped forward to identify myself. “We’re here to get you out,” they said.
The walls of the surgery shook from artillery and machine gun fire outside, and it seemed safer to stay inside. But the Ukrainian soldiers were under orders to take us with them.

The point where Putin is completely backed into a corner, knowing this is not going to end well, is the point the rest of the world should really be worried.
Nothing more dangerous than a madman left with few alternatives. He ain't going to go out quietly.

- I am worried, too.SimonFFM
- One of the former MI6 guys also said the west should leave him a way out. Nothing worse than a cornered rat.Chimp

2019 interview with Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine: "Our price for joining NATO is a big war with Russia".
- All this was known since maybe 2014
The one thing nobody expected was what a shithole of an army Russia hadgrafician - Word for word....he essentially just discussed what Russia did exactly in the past three weeks all in chronological order.utopian
- yes utopian it was that obviousgrafician
- Nice video, Pablo, Thanks.
You daft bugger.Nairn - @utopian, yeah, but without NATO intervention, Russia will win this war.pablo28
- Probably the final solution for the Ukraine is to resort to a diversion and use chemical weapons so that NATO can intervene armed, as happened in Syriapablo28
- *for Ukrainepablo28
- pablo we all know you're a pro-Russian pro-dictator troll on here who wants Russia to succeed but they won't.NBQ00
- As for the video: The guy has predicted pretty much everything.NBQ00
- Watch this clip carefully and you will learn that this war was provoked by the new political regime in Ukraine, with the support of NATO (especially the USA).pablo28
- It's a proxy war similar to the one in Syria.pablo28
- In this interview, more or less directly, Oleksiy Arestovych says "vote for Zelinsky and by 2022 we will have a war with Russia."pablo28
- Ukraine's ticket to NATO membership is a war won against Russia.pablo28
- The fact that everything was prepared in advance shows how evil this war is and how little they care about ordinary people.pablo28
- If you're pro Russia (as you are) then you can spin it that way, pablito.NBQ00
- I expect some counter-arguments and not just unfounded accusations against me.pablo28
- But I probably have too many expectations from some members on this site.pablo28
- He's absolutely not saying "vote for Zelensky so we can have a war with Russia." You'd have to be insane to think Ukraine are the aggressors in this situation.garbage

Insane footage of a Ukrainian BTR-4 in use in the vicinity of Mariupol against Russian armour, damaging a T-72B3M and totally destroying a BRM-1K.

James Blunt is just the chemical weapons option.Continuity - James Blunt prevented WW3 during Kosovo, we need his help:

Shoygu, minister of defense, is the one on the right
- So US officials leak this info? Now Putin knows, greatNBQ00
- The look on Shoigu's face during the long table meeting looked a bit menacing. He can't like seeing his men slaughtered like they are.mandomafioso
- This one seems like propaganda, take a look at the "reporter" guy's account. It doesn't even tell which publication he writes for.yuekit
- Maybe is fake, to sow seeds of doubt at the top of Kremlin. Not a bad tactic. Make Putin paranoid. Unless he expects it.shapesalad
- he should do a better job maintaining his army then throwing a coup. Funny that this is his failure.Beeswax

This is a continuation of the *amazing* tweet grafician linked 2 posts up^^ I was pleasantly surprised to see it here before I could post it.
I found this within the tweet replies
It concerns Aleksandr Dugin, Putin's ideological advisor. It is chilling, buckle up.
https://www.twitter.com/TobyVena…
Besides the waffen SS stuff, he also says:
"and what all this makes clear is that if not prevented, Putin will not stop at Ukraine, any more than Hitler stopped at Austria, or Czechoslovakia, or Poland. 22/22"
So much for appeasement. (certain people saying OMG no let him take Ukraine or you'll escalate and it's WWIII)
These people are nazis. It's already WWIII. This is only the beginning.
- Power hungry fascist cunts.NBQ00
- no shit, thats why everybody .. especially in eastern europe is on high alert.tneverscared
- Eating croissants and browsing tweeter...grafician
- But, based on what I read and posted here too, they lack the resources for their "grand plan"grafician
- Putin does only "special operations" when his numbers drop at home, it's all a show for the Russians at home so he can stay in power.grafician
- But on this latest one in Ukraine, he messed up big.
Surely, we can't say with 100% confidence the outcome, but we're pretty sure Russia is fucked.grafician - And "Foundations of Geopolitics" by this parasite Dugin, is bullshit. Any resemblance to actual real world situations is purely coincidental.grafician
- Dugin is a crazy mofo. I don't think any slighty sane man in the Russian admin takes his theories serious. Tho it's known that he made visitsBeeswax
- to Ankara and talked with Erdogan as the middle man. It's weird that he's so close to the leaders but yeah he's a nut job, a "utopian" so to speakBeeswax

With all these sanctions we're putting into place, at what point will Russia be backed into a corner, their economy is completely on its arse and pressing that big red button is their last resort? Or am I being pessimistic?
- next weekneverscared
- North Korea is there and they still haven't pressed the big red button. Russia will turn into NK, their people will suffer greatly.NBQ00
- As soon as they press the button the whole mutually assured destruction thing kicks in. So will they commit suicide over some sanctions?yuekit
- Earlier I posted this clip, you can see Putin thought carefully about these issues lol
https://youtu.be/rdx…yuekit - Problem is Putin has isolated himself with his big long table. Surely the team beneath him see how bad it is and direction and have the sense to end him.shapesalad
- If they are going to use nuclear weapons, I'm guessing it will be in Ukraine, and before that they would have to pull out all of their forces firstdrgs
- I like that Stone/Putin interview yuekit. The 'typical American gift' at the end was pretty funny tooIanbolton
- China will be enough to keep ‘em hopingGnash
- It's completely surreal isn't it? Although I wonder if Putin staged the whole thing to send a message to any American politicians watching.yuekit
- Can't believe he opened the DVD case to check for the DVD. Seems so pedestrian. Or maybe a little paranoid?mort_

"BREAKING: Germany to send another 2,700 anti-air missiles to Ukraine"
Hmmm what are they doing with all that fire power? Is it like the entire Russian Air Force around 2000 fighter planes? And they deployed probably just a few hundred for this invasion?
Idk, honestly asking...
- Also when invaded, if you repel the first wave, you quickly need to counter attack, not wait and get surrounded by the following waves...grafician
- Several cities are already surrounded unfortunately, even if the West promises more weapons, they can't get it to them in time...grafician
- You need back-up‘s and multiple for every 1 plane at least.NBQ00
- I love how everyone is a military strategist all of the sudden.jmckinno
- I grossly inflated their Air Force, apparently they had around 4000 aircraft in total around 2015. Losing dozens aircraft in a week looks like a huge blow!grafician

"Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:

We call on the residents of Kyiv/Kiev, who live near the relay nodes, to leave their homes."
