Any chance he'll want to join NATO? :lol:

Tactically, Russia is doing worse than anyone anticipated. They’re especially doing incomparably worse than Putin had anticipated; there are now multiple lines of evidence that suggest that he calculated on the entire operation taking 48 hours. They are running out of food and fuel, and quite likely also of other supplies—not in general, but where they are needed, and getting them to the right place also costs resources. They are also likely to be running out of money; modern wars are very expensive and you can’t keep an army of this size in the field for an unlimited time.

But they are still advancing, only much, much slower than they thought they would, and not uniformly—some of the pictures of captured Russian vehicles strongly suggest that they have had to retreat at least every now and then. It is far from certain that they will fail to occupy Ukraine, although time is probably beginning to run out because they are likely to be running low on money.

Strategically, Russia has already lost. Even if they should eventually achieve all their objectives, their strategic position will afterwards be immensely weaker than it was before. The economy is devastated, their political position in the world is devastated; their assets are seized, their banks are under severe strain, their allies have deserted them, their currency is in serious trouble and might yet collapse into hyperinflation, foreign capital is fleeing and foreign businesses are closing. None of this will change if they manage to occupy Ukraine; some of it might get even worse, since the occupation will in itself be costly and tie up troops. Their only remaining “friend”, China, looks more like a vulture waiting to feast.

On balance, yes, I would say that they are not only losing—they have already lost. Not in the sense of being totally defeated, but in the sense of ending up in a worse situation than the one they started from


Surely not!

We've been assured (by hourly broadcasts!) that, almost 5 weeks into their "special military operation" everything's going according to plan for the Russians. Stories about their expectations of taking Kiev and capturing the Ukrainian government within days, greeted by cheering crowds as in Crimea ....... clearly propaganda. As are reports of the 60% of the Russian army in Ukraine suffering alarmingly high losses and resorting to indiscriminate city flattening tactics.

That can't be true. They even have the capacity to carry out provocative actions against the Japanese. It's all in the hundreds of links.

The man in the Kremlin is apparently, coldly and calculatingly, moving events around in a way that makes Garry Kasparov look like a bungling infant.

Are you saying this is all ................................. well ....................... a load of bollocks? That's really hard to believe. :?


Typical end of days behavior by the man. His own court is after him now considering the billions he’s lost for them. It’s another Saddam found in a hole situation here.

A total of 100-180 Ukrainian refugees from war-torn Ukraine arriving daily in Cyprus, Interior Minister Nicos Nouris said on Thursday adding that applications for temporary protection status have reached 1,232, but the Ministry is ready to manage an influx of applications.

Western military experts talk about the imminent surrender of Zelensky

“In general, the main tasks of the first stage of the operation have been completed. The combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been significantly reduced, which allows, I emphasize once again, to focus the main efforts on achieving the main goal – the liberation of Donbass … At present, the Ukrainian air force and air defense system have been almost completely destroyed. The country’s naval forces have ceased to exist.”

“The moment is approaching when the President of Ukraine will announce surrender… I have no doubts who will win in this conflict – it will be the Russian Federation with its military contingent participating in this special military operation. The loser is the regime in Ukraine and its armed forces.”

All medias report…

Zelensky, is poised to sign the Minsk agreements in Turkey AND lose territory!

Should’ve taken Russia’s deal from the onset and kept your territory fool!

Zelensky’s accomplishments:

The Ukraine has been bombed to stone-age.
Countless dead and wounded.
Lost territories.
Next to zero military left.
Nazi-themed militias lying dead in fields and roads.
Around 4 million refugees and counting.

Wider implications:

Dollar hegemony hangs in the balance.
Major boost of Sino-Russian alliance.
NATO flirtation dangers well noted by all Soviet territories.
NATO toothless
US’ credibility in MUD.
EU in shambles and in MUD.
Russia proven FORTRESS.

Confucius, he say…

“If you back a monkey you’re not backing a horse!”

American repercussions from the Ukrainian debacle:

Massive declines in market values of American giants including… US social platforms that stupidly colluded with the West’s authoritarianism by silencing countless groups, have fucked up big time!
