I wouldn't say that...Russia is not the only source of gas on the planet nor the most plentiful and there are already plans in motion to acquire alternate sources to compensate for the reliance on Russian gas.

Are there pro-Russian people in Ukraine? Probably, although I'd be skeptical if their numbers now are higher than 0.1% or thereabouts. Is Russian propaganda correct that all Russian-speaking peoples want to be under Russia and they are all ethnic Russian minorities? No. That was my point. The...

Interesting but it's still odd that they would support former communist regimes that are no longer so. It's like someone supporting modern Spanish government because of a fondness for Francoist Spain.

Russian-speaking does not mean ethnic Russians or Russian patriots. Russian propaganda tends to skip over that part.

I've got my fingers crossed that we'll see Russians busting out T-34s before this is all over. Double points if Germany scavenges some Panzerfausts that have been lying in storage since 1943 and ships them to Ukraine.

I'm more of a bird person myself to be honest. Used to have a parakeet that loved to sing along to Def Leppard (or at least he'd start chirping as soon as I put one of their songs on). Tried to teach him a few words as well but I'm afraid I lacked the patience to spend hours every day talking to...

Moving Russian POWs to Poland would only cause trouble for Poland on the international stage.

Never did understand why modern communists have such a hard-on for Russia. At least China is theoretically still communist, Russia purges communists.

From what I heard, it kept changing hands.

The promise to accept Ukraine is all empty talk anyway. The process normally takes years, Ukraine only has months if not weeks. They're not getting in.

What he said. Russian supply lines are completely fucked. I'm still certain they can brute force this but they are paying a much higher price for it than they wanted to. Right now Russia's strategy is to take the big cities and then use them as staging points. The problem is that they don't...

Ukraine probably won't exist anymore in 6 months or less, so this is nothing more than lip service.

Russian men and women have already gone through similar chaos in the 90s. They'll survive.

The Chinese won't invade Taiwan. They prefer economic dominance to anything else and they are well aware they aren't powerful enough yet to take what they want with impunity without serious consequences. They also aren't in as deep shit as Russia to start resorting to desperate measures.

Russian army professionals are definitely there. I saw at least one video of Spetsnaz operatives getting ambushed.

The US didn't take 4 years to destroy Iraq or Afghanistan. Both Saddam Hussein and the Taliban were crushed within weeks and unlike what's happening here with Russia, where their logistics are completely screwed and their soldiers don't even know what the fuck they're doing, the US took minimal...

Coach Red Pill is in Kiev? Isn't he supposed to be in Kharkiv? Hell, at one point I'm pretty sure he was in Mariupol.

We're mocking the fact that Russians are taking heavy casualties in the process and making much slower progress. They are supposed to be the 2nd strongest army in the world, this is embarrassing. For the record, I don't think Ukraine can win this without NATO forces coming in to save them...

Where is a crying emoji when you need one...

I noticed way back when this started that most of the troops being sent in as cannon fodder are not exactly ethnic Russians. My conviction grows with each day that Russia must be dismembered and reeducated, just like Germany was. Only way to fix this rotten nation.
