End russa, lol, you are delusional. But whatever, everyone can have their own wishes and desires, you are in for a rude awakening tho, hopefully you won't be too disappointed lol.
The longer this war goes on, the more problems Russia gives itself. It is running down its reserves, both financial and military. USSR ran itself into the ground financially and ended. Russia is heading in the same direction again, not that it will cease to exist but It will be much weaker than it was before it invaded Ukraine.

What effect does the cost of supporting Ukraine's have on Ukraine's supporters? It is easily absorbable by those countries, hardly noticeable.

Official footage of the strike of the Russian Iskander-M missile, 9M723-K5 with a cluster warhead, on the Ukrainian military training ground Novomoskovsk in the Dnipropetrovsk region. About 150 servicemen of the 157th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army were undergoing training at the training ground near the settlement of Cherkasskoye. Iskander-M missiles of the 9M723 series, with a cluster warhead, can carry high-explosive fragmentation, cumulative fragmentation and self-aiming anti-tank warheads. The cluster part of the Iskander missile explodes at an altitude of 900-1400 meters, after which 54 warheads descend and detonate, presumably at an altitude of 10 meters. Some Ukrainian media confirmed the death of servicemen of the 157th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army.

Just look at Turkish/Russian relations over Syria. Every agreement, every deal was broken by Russia. Not only when it was broken they took great enjoyment in humiliating the Turks over it. When their jet got downed for instigating trouble along the border, they became the biggest victim and isis narratives were propagated against Turkiye.

Probably a prime example of Russian treachery was when they bombed and killed Turkish troops. The agreement was that the Turks would provide their co-ordinates so the Russians know not to hit their positions. Turks provide those co-ordinates, the Russians then use them to bomb Turkish troops. They then say to the Turks they can't use the airspace, so ambulances are sent by land much slower to get their. Once they get their they bomb the ambulances and kill more, its then shown and celebrated on Russian TV.

Unfortunaty for the Russians that moment caused the idlib retalition. That kept the current opposition alive who would go on to send the Russians packing from syia in their totality, another defeat for the super power. Another great strategic blunder for 4d chess putin.


When dealing Russians you got to smash them at every opportunity, only a fool who knows nothing of history thinks you can have sensible dialogue with them. Zelensky calling Vance a bitch for acting like "diplomacy" would work with these communist shitheads was bang on the money. For all this talk about zelensky being a clown, a crack head, a homosexual the guy has shown massive balls in the face of both the USA and Russia.

And keep in mind that Syria is nothing compared to what Ukraine is to Russian geopolitical ambitions.

Russians will be laughing at the current dopes in the white house.

Hopefully Turkiye ramps up support for Ukraine. I'm not against sending tens of thousands of troops to Syria, more if required. I rather we fight the Russians in Ukraine with Ukainans then allow them to conquer Ukraine and who knows maybe 20 years down the line were fighting against Russians and Ukraine's in places like the Balkans, caucuses. Ukraine gave the world a great opportunity to put this beast to rest, its a shame that so many are fooled into thinking like a soviet.

Obviously the war is hurting Russia and its economy and the people and they are losing alot of soldiers, but Ukraine just has a much lower ceiling in terms of this and will struggle more and more no matter the support they get, its just facts, people can hope all they want but if Ukraine was in a great position and thinking they can actually win the war, Zelensky would not be saying they can't handle another year of war and that the war needs to end this year.

You say “no disrespect“ and “the country is a complete and utter sh*t” in the same sentence, and yet you want to be taken seriously?

You are the definition of an arrogant and ignorant Westerner who knows nothing about the world outside his close proximity, yet thinks he is a know-it-all.

Moldova is an amazing democratic country with great people who want to join the European Union and reach their true potential.
Im not arrogant or ignorant im just being realistic, you have a problem with someone being realistic?

Where did I ever say Moldovian people are bad or horrible in any way? Im pretty sure they have a ton of great and amazing people, this has nothing to do with them, that doesn't change the fact that the country is utter sh*t, like I said before, and I will say it again.

And with country I don't mean their culture or habits or anything, I mean the state of the country, the economy the politics, stuff like that.

Greece is part of the EU and the country is also in a very sorry state, not like Moldova but pretty sorry state for a country in the EU, is it wrong to say that? Its realistic, and I know quite a few greek people and have friends there, it has nothing to do with them.

I get your thinking. A bit like if China invaded India and occupied 20% of India's territory, the sensible thing for India to do would be to surrender the occupied territory and its people to China to achieve a fair and just peace.
It depends on the situation but if you have no chance but to do that, then you have no other choice, or else u will lose even more, or all.

Your assessments about countries being “sh!t” just because their GDP per capita is low is extremely childish and lacks any depth. A country is not defined only by the current state of its economy. There is a lot more than that.

Also, your belief that a country with low GDP/capita is some sort of ghetto or a wasteland is also detached from reality, There are countries with very low GDP/capita that are extremely civilized, educated and where life is pretty good, sometimes even better than in many “wealthy” countries.

For example, a country like Uzbekistan with a nominal GDP/capita of around $3,000 would be easily discarded as dirt poor if you look at statistics alone. However, if you visit the country you will notice they live exactly like in Europe, only that their cities are cleaner and they don’t have beggars and homeless people.

If you want to understand the world, you should strat traveling instead of looking at almost meaningless statistics.

And life in Greece is generally better than in most of Europe.

1.3% for defence for every EU country, mandatory!
Depends on what you do with that 3%.

2.Alliance with Turkey and the Arab world, throw full support behind Palestinians, let's choke the US pudel in the ME.
You are already in an alliance with Türkiye,its called NATO!
Another alliance is not gonna happen,you(EU) kept Türkiye out of the EU and now you want help from Türkiye to go against Trump(SDF/YPG) and Putin(Russian gas and trade).
Türkiye can only send a peace force,nothing more.
Arabs(GCC) would never go against Trump or Putin so forget that.

3.Lift sanctions on Iran, let's buy as much oil and gas from them as we can,let's invest in their energy infrastructure.
Not possible,you(EU) lick Israeli boots which also means going against the US.
So forget that to.


4.Nuclear weapons with more delivery systems,.
You have French nukes,should be enough.


Btw,Moldova is under the Turkish umbrella.

Can someone explain me for what should Zelensky apologise to Trump
For nothing,he was trapped.
Trump and Vance find him ungrateful,according to them his clothes were inappropiate,he didnt ever say TY to the US for all the help,he didnt accept the rare earth minarals ''deal'' etc.

I know a ton of Greek people and have many friends there and you are completely wrong, you are just speaking out of your ass like about every single thing always on this forum.

Unless you think you know better than the actual people living there, lol.

I love how all the big Ukrainian twitter accounts, politicans and even news media outlets are too scared to address most of what J.D. Vance said. Like no one wants to say he is wrong, claim their proofs probably because consistently pushing him he might reveal the actual losses of the war.

No idea if you have a brain but the side that keeps getting surrounded on all sides and with 10 times less the firepower is not winning or having lesser losses. Some of those Ukrainian soldiers dont look like rambos to me.

Edit: French being French. https://t.me/lastoppo/8038
We know quite well the equipment losses.

Russia lost about 12,000 armored vehicles.
Ukraine - about 4,000.

So ratio is 3 to 1. in Ukraines favor. Men power ratio is lower, but also in Ukraine favor by all estimates.

My estimate is nearly 200 K KIA for Russia and 150 K KIA for Ukraine.

If those numbers are correct than why does Europe need the US as a backstop for their peacekeepers? Your country voted for Russia in the UN and now I am hearing reports they want an alliance with Russia in syria because they don't want other parts of the country to have any Turkish influence.

People in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe tend to always complain about their lives, jobs, goverments, countries, etc. It is a cultural thing. We could be the wealthiest people in the world, but we would still complain about how bad we have it. We always look at the half empty part of the glass, and ignore the half full part.

If someone doesn’t work and just enjoys life, he would complain about being poor. If someone works in a very good job and earns a lot of money, he would complain about not having a life and being a slave. It’s a cultural thing to self-victimize. Even if your Greek friends would have it better than you, they would still complain and tell you how hard life it is in their country.

Depends what is meant by Ukraine winning the war. IMO

1 Ukraine will not be able to force the Russian ground military to withdraw back into Russia
2 Ukraine will not be able to force the Russian ground military to retreat back to where is was 24 Feb 2022
3 economic crisis may force Russia to abandon its attack on Ukraine and withdraw from some of the land it has occupied since 24 Feb 2022
4 acute economic crisis may force Russia to abandon its attack on Ukraine and withdraw from most of or all of the land it has occupied since 24 Feb 2022
5 ?

Putin set out to take over the government of Ukraine. If Ukraine it is not overwhelmed and survives as a state, that could be viewed as Ukraine winning (retaining its sovereignty).

Only problem is from what it seems like the Europeans want Ukraine to get all the land back, which is completely unrealistic, so i have little hopes for these negotiations.

If you're talking about the Gagauz people,even though their language is Turkic, they're 100% Russian a££kissers.

I'm not worried about a Russian invasion, they're allready a spent force,by the time they reach Kiev, we'll have colonies on Mars.Them marching on Romania,Moldova, or even the Baltics ,is a severe no go.The Poles would mopp the floor with them even today, in 5 years it might not even be a contest.
An alliance with Turkey would be preferable, but,even without, the EU is fine.
Trump won't be allowed to finish his mandate, he'll loose the primaries anyway.

@TR_123456 btw,today in London,there were participants from every EU country(except Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria...no surprises here),plus...Canada,Norway, and....the FM of Turkyie
