I agree with you that many European leaders made big mistakes in their relationship with Russia, especially when it comes to Germany, Austria and Hungary. They thought Russia could be a partner, and they thought Putin was a rational person. They were wrong, and the warnings about Russia’s...

While the circumstances were different, it doesn’t mean the outcome can’t be the same. Think about the rebelion in Cecenia. They sent the military to quell the rebelion. What would have happened if at that time the Russia military was fighting a serious war like the one in Ukraine and didn’t...

Your statement sounds juvenile, not my opinions. How many nukes did the Soviet Union set-off when it disintegrated? Exactly the same number that Russia will set-off when it will disintegrate. The disintegration of Russia into smaller states doesn’t have to come through nuclear war. It is enough...

The problem with those world leaders you are citing is that they have ulterior motives. They don’t want Russia completely destroyed because they fear that China will remain without a counterbalance in Asia. They already see Russia as being weak, and their main concern is now China. Some US...

Looks good. Now they need to make a bigger version with longer range and more explosive power.

The Russians have imposed Communism on my county, and for this alone I wish for their total destruction as a country. They kept all of Eastern Europe in poverty for half a century with their evil doctrine, and they deserve to be punished for it. I stand with the Ukrainians in their fight for...

A Balkanized Russia would be the best outcome of this war. The last thing the world needs is a strong Russia. It is impossible to know how the war will end, but I doubt the Ukrainians will be willing to end the war without recovering their lands. In the end, this war gives them the excuse to...

He left Russia long time ago, because he was not willing to do the regime’s bidding. He refused to handle the information about Ukrainians participating in the Maidan revolts to the Russian authorities. He was basically a Russian disident who stood for freedom and risked his position to protect...

This is actually a bad thing, as Durov was arrested because Telegram doesn’t censor enough. The Telegram app is known to be used by people who want to avoid censorship, so it is a tool that helps free speech. His arrest just shows that France is not much different from Russia when it comes to...

I don’t agree with your opinion at all. First of all, I think Russia can be defeated, in the sense that a complete socio-economic collapse of Russia would force it to abandon any territorial gains in exchange for peace and economic relief. Russia needs to collapse like the Soviet Union, torn...

What you completely dismiss here is Ukrainians’ will to revenge. At this point, after all the suffering, I bet most Ukrainians are more interested in punishing Russia than saving their country. They will want to inflict more damage to Russia than what Russia did to them, in order to punish it...

Putin will be faced with various forms of defeat. He will not have a choice between victory and defeat, but between various forms of negotiated defeats. Ukraine will join NATO. Theree is no IF about it. They already received lots of advanced NATO weaponry and have one of the most experienced...

You’re more optimistic even than I am when it comes to Ukraine’s chances to win this conflict. Your scenario so far sounds really good. They have a very easy option to defend their territory. They can negotiate with Ukraine the retreat from all the occupied lands. If they withdraw from...

So your opinion is that Putin is so stupid that despite all the advice he received from his friends in France and Germany, he still fell into the trap set up by the UK-US axis, and even now, despite the obvious trap, he will fall again and nuke Ukraine. If that is the case, Putin is completely...

Zelensky didn’t start the war. He was elected on a platform of reconciliation with Russia and trying to end the conflict. But Putin was having none of it, as he wanted to grab more land and change the regime in Kyiv, to bring back his old serfs in power and keep Ukraine as a vassal state, in the...

I know it hurts when Russia gets beaten up, but let’s try to be serious for a moment. The Kursk incursion captured more territory in two weeks than Russia did since the start of the year (8 months). Why would you use those troop to stop the last two weeks of Russian advances in the Donbass (to...

People expected Russia to break Ukraine in three days, and they couldn’t in two years. If the expectation now is 24 months, than it means they won’t be able to do it in two centuries.

Nobody knows what Trump will do once in office. This will be his second term, so he doesn’t have to compromise for the electorate, as he can’t run again. And don’t forget that Trump voters are sheep, they agree with whatever he says, so if he suddenly decides to win the war for Ukraine, his...

That’s exactly why Russia will lose in the end. Long attrition wars are won by the stronger economy.

Of course Ukraine mattered more because it was bordering the EU, and a potential future member. Also, having a direct border makes helping them much easier from a logistical point of view. Europe cannot deliver help to a far away country without a direct border in the same way it supplies...
