You mean the "referendums" facilitated by a hostile occupying force where armed Russian troops escorted election officials door to door and observed people voting? Well, they were literally in violation of the Constitution of Ukraine, international humanitarian and human rights laws, and the UN charter.
Sham enough for you? If not, probably also violate the Hague Regulations (1907) and the Geneva Convention. Very telling that the only sovereign nation to recognise the results of the sham was North Korea. Quote:
Again, I know his videos are a long death by PowerPoint, but if you were to watch just the 2-3 minutes on 'Manpower' from 16 minutes 40-odd seconds you would see that troop numbers are unlikely to be an issue for NATO (watch the full vid and you will see it is equipment and ammo that could need solution).

I see the “peasants” mobilised by Putler and sent to Ukraine, are starving and waiting for their families to buy them warm clothes and other supplies now, this is why the Russian military is a Meme.

So much of it does not make sense.
Why even mobilise reservists of all ages and health/fitness when they have dedicated career soldiers supposedly sitting on the sidelines? Why send those reservists into the fray so poorly equipped without even the basics? Why not use all of their advanced weaponry and equipment? I can understand not expending your best troops and materiel if it weren't needed as you were already getting the job done, but we have seen they are steadily losing ground and troops (and morale). Makes you wonder how much of their military 'might' is simply parade forces |

It looks like the “partial mobilization” has been suspended...

AKA ‘battle of Stalingrad’! Seems the same type of scenario, except the shoe is on the other foot!

The Russian military is fake, any hope of a modern army disappeared after the Kleptocracy stole the money for their own Super Yachts and overseas Mega-Mansions. How are Shoigu, Medvedev, and Lavrov billionaires ? Lol. |

Had to lol at the Red Army monument in Czech Republic that got "updated" to reflect the real Russian army...not the splatter of red paint to symbolise blood, but more how they made the base into a washing machine

It’s hilarious how Russian troops aren’t being paid. Lol
The “Mobiks” just want to get out of Ukraine. Russia’s Kleptocracy only cares about its self, the “Mobiks” being sent to their death, cold, hungry, poorly equipped (the “Rusty AK” video is a “****er”), don’t matter to the corrupt Russian leadership. The cannon fodder “doesn’t matter” to the billionaires. This is like Tsarist Russia sending peasants to their death. |

It’s almost as though bribing the Russian front line could succeed. Privates surrender, get refugee status and 18 months of transitional support in a NATO country, a new iPhone and the family back in Russia receive a white goods appliance of choice…

I can't believe the amount of Russia and China simps in this country. The trolls have been very successful in turning our countries inside out
The worst part about it is they use our open and free media to do it while suppressing their own people |

On both sides, yeah? Or is no one making money / profiting by supplying Russian forces?

Some funny logic going on in here.
NATO spends over $trillion a year just to deter a fake army? Our overlords have imposed sanctions that will cripple citizens of the west, seems a bit heavy handed to stop some dude who is on his last legs and with no army? Anyhow, whats happened to the Nord Stream 2 investigation?

Looks like the battle for Kherson is going to kick off at any moment. If you were the Ukrainians, would you fight through the city or encircle and keep going south to The Crimea? Street fighting is a costly business.

Outflank the incompetent Russian forces, leave them encircled, stranded, without supplies, and move towards the next objective.

The kleptocracy is in decline lol
The billionaires are looking for a way out. Hopefully the Russian Yachts are used for target practice just like the “Pong Su”. But the “Mobiks” will continue to die in their thousands (unpaid by the Kleptocracy), and they won’t be fed, they won’t be armed, they will will “call” their family and friends to tell them what a “**** show” their invasion / war is, that is before they die in a ditch for something they don’t believe in. In the mean time, young Ukrainian men and women will fight for their homeland, and fight to their death for something THEY believe in while they are supported by people in free nations. Lol “Ruzzia” |

The weather will be the key for the next few months of this war. Rain has made travel off road difficult and temps have dropped to low single figures overnight. If the stories of the Russians inability to adequately supply their troops are true then a severe winter will see their problems get a lot worse. Sitting in a trench in minus 30C can't be fun.
I don't expect much to happen until the spring thaw; by then both sides will have built up their supplies of fuel and ammo and the killing will resume. Can't really see an end to this any time soon. Hope I'm wrong about that. |

I don't get why on one side it is "military industrial complex getting rich", but on the other side it is good fiscal use of weapons nearing their use by date. Meanwhile, looks like the Russian withdrawal from Kherson is in full swing. Is it simply recognising the perilous position they were in? The Russia TV guys are full swinging from depression to over-blown anger - they're great to watch, and over last week and a half are pushing the narrative of a holy war against the satanic west. Ukraine are no longer Nazis; they're now satanists - but interestingly even Russia TV drew the line at their producer who was saying the Ukrainian children should be drowned and burned Last edited by Mulva; 05-11-2022 at 07:20 PM. |

The Russian Trolls on here (you know who those “Ruzzian” trolls are), are hilarious too, I have them on ignore, they will spin the “Ruzzian” line because they are slaves to Putlers Facist nonsense. Oh BTW: “Z” is the new Swastika, the Russian Trolls on here love it too. lol |
