  1. Seems like a really unbiased source GRUHorn.
  2. Simplest solution is that the autocratic shithead that murders journalists and indiscriminately slaughters Yemeni civilians is a little nervous about democratic countries uniting against killing journalists and indiscriminately killing civilians. But it's probably something Hunter Biden did if you think about it.
  3. Time to confess people. He got us. Why stop with apes? Obviously, no species of animal can exist if any other member of a larger group of them still exists. How are there any other mammals if both us and dogs are supposed to be mammals? I'll tell you. Big Zoo. A conspiracy of the top 153 Zoologists on the planet assembling at an annual meeting at an underground lava base, funded and coordinated by none other than George Soros. Herschel is coming from a fine tradition of individual research, instead of trusting experts, which is such a novel approach these days. I look forward to seeing his data in the original coloring book format.
  4. The former. Medvedev wants to reinstate the death penalty to suppress dissent.
  5. You keep peddling this Russian lie over and over, even though other posters have repeatedly pointed it out. Putin wants to bring back the Russian Empire. He does not think Ukraine has a right to exist as a sovereign entity. He does not think they should have been given autonomy during the USSR and should not have ever been able to leave being a Russian vassal province. He wants to revoke this and subjugate Ukraine and the Ukrainian people under Russian oppression again. Despite this being pointed out to you over and over, you still repeat the Russian lie. You are far more poisoned from reading/watching Russian propaganda on Russia Today than you realize.
  6. With a fuck ton of natural resources. The Chinese have already locked up a lot of resources in Africa and Asia. Russia as a Chinese vassal would be no bueno in all sorts of ways.
  7. Spot on. As to #2, they will eventually also try to position themselves as the moderator between Russia and the West. By assuming an authority/"mediator" role, they solidify taking Russia's seat at the big boy table.
  8. The Russians do not do anything in good faith, especially negotiate. Ukraine and the West can try to negotiate, but it won't make a shit until Putin is dead. This isn't about NATO, this isn't about sanctions, this is solely about a small and petty man's wounded pride.
  9. Thanks @956 Worldwide for help translating SOON into the proper Ukrainian word to convey the context.
  10. Looks like the majority of the Ukraine rail system is still functional and operating. Amazing how they've been able to maintain so much of their infrastructure despite the Russian bombardment.
  11. That's weird, the Russians usually post using GRUHorn/Bravo/Immaculate Vibes/whatever his newest account is.
  12. Now we see the the cost of Kirby Smart's deal with the devil.
  13. The results of Kirby Smart's deal with the devil.
  14. You clearly want to discuss the Saudis and should go make a thread on it. To quickly address your point, if you don't think he's a usurper, you can take it up with Reuters, but it's a weird hill to die on. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-saudi-palace-coup-idUSKBN1A41IS [quote]“It was a big shock to MbN,” said a Saudi political source close to MbN. “It was a coup. He wasn’t prepared.” The sources said MbN did not expect to be usurped by the often impulsive Mohammed bin Salman, who MbN considered to have made a number of policy blunders, such as his handling of the Yemen conflict and cutting financial benefits to civil servants."[/quote]
  15. MBS is a usurper and not the legitimate ruler of Saudi Arabia. Fuck him.
  16. You need to be focused on the collapsing ruble and whether your handlers are going to keep paying you.
  17. Hi GRUHorn. I would have thought you'd be a little busy right now to be on here 24/7, but I guess that's yet more bad Russian planning. Nice attempt to lump this in with neo-cons though. Buzzword bingo. I've been in favor of much stronger intervention since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and illegally seized Crimea. It was clear then that Putin wouldn't stop. We should have treated it like the existential threat that it was and slapped Putin down then, but normalcy bias is a bitch and people didn't want to see it. People didn't want to see this second invasion either, until it happened. A no-fly zone prior to THIS SECOND invasion would have stopped it before it happened. The Russian Air Force just had the worst day of any Air Force in 40 years against Ukraine's rag-tag bunch. Going against NATO is fucking laughable. Appeasement never works. Eventually, you either confront a blackmailer, or they'll take everything. The west made the same failure they made with Hitler and it's gotten them the same result.
  18. It's called Nebraska.
  19. I was in favor of a no-fly zone pre-invasion, but a no fly zone now also means no Ukrainian drone strikes on these convoys. As they get more drones, and more Stingers to suppress Russian air assets, that's going to be a big advantage.
  20. Agree, and some vacationing drone pilots as well.
  21. I believe discussion was that F-16's to Ukraine wouldn't work, because their pilots aren't trained and are a bit busy for the training right now. NATO can pick up the slack while the Polish pilots get trained.
  22. Don't have to maintain it, if the Ukrainians blow it all up.
  23. Downed KA-52 helicopter 16 slides of captured, or destroyed Russian equipment, including 4 T-80U and a truck full of munitions.
