Taking a harder line against a post Soviet Russia is not the same as wanting to see women getting gang raped. Get a little perspective.

Sure, I am not saying it is but at the same time - she is an enabler for rape of some other poor victim.
Maybe her husband would not do that if not for her.
IMO that makes here fully responsible. So at least she should suffer trial like a real criminal would.
But street justice is probably only thing that gets to these low life people... as sad and judgmental it is of me to say.
Still yeah - we should be better. It's a longer road to go but long term it is better.

CNN interview with Zelenskyy.




He says 2500-3000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed so far, 10,000 injured. Unknown number of civilians killed.

Im not sure I can believe those numbers, didn't he come out and say 1,300 soldiers had been killed 2 weeks into the war? If so then the number has only doubled in the 5 weeks since then which doesn't seem realistic.

Both sides are skewing numbers to sound better.
Probably the best ones are given by usa military estimates

I understand Putin wants the Soviet Union again but when you got people dying I think you’re at a disadvantage.

"We are better than this" is a mentality that brought us to this moment.
If Russia would've been dismantled after ussr died, maybe thing would be different but it's another post ww1 germany again. They lost cold war and were just left there.... just like that. of course retaliation would grow inside a a nation like that which lost it's former glory.

It isn’t. Post ww1 Germany was in economic collapse, that is what motivated the people to line up behind a radical and stand by as the 3rd RIECH took control. Russia was not into economic free fall until after the invasion. Prior to that the average Russian seemed to be doing well under the Russian state.

I saw a documentary a while ago (before the invasion ramped up) that focused on the lives of Russians born as Putin took power in 1999. A pretty interesting look at how they are shaped by their environment:


Some love him, some hate him, some just want to get away from Russia.
There are some solid documentaries on that channel.

DW has excellent documentaries. I think I sub to a number of their channels. Germans get some quality journalism.

They weren’t just left there for 30 years and more we used oil / gas / to get some kind of relationship and had all kinds of business there to make Russia part of the world and economics.. even the company I work for , I have Russian colleagues. But Putin almost single handed decided that they are victims.. it’s not the other way around , they could have made Russia great , with smart and kindness .. instead he chose war and idiotic behavior.. much like Hitler .

Numbers of Russia casualties

Mind you these numbers are bit dated ( April 2) before Moskva sunk, bridge explotion, more equipment destroyed etc theyre loosing war equipment way too fast...

Putin will drag the country to the ground...both military and economicaly...this war is just unsustainable for him( long term wise)

Just waiting for it to become just too much for some Russian units that they turn on other Russian forces.

If you're going to shoot people for fleeing, then you'd better be ready to be shot by those fleeing. And they're going to be like rapid dogs desperate to get out of there.

If not mistaken, America just sent 600 of these little things.

I think they are mainly used vs personal

I mean look at the size of them, it's insane.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Speaking of economic ruin, it appears propping up the ruble amongst other actions to combat the sanctions is costing the orcs 1B$/day. Problem is about half are frozen since they were stashed off country, so let's say Putin started at 300B, he's now at 250B.

That's just the 300. They are sending 600s as well, that while less portable, can take out light armour.

Basically smart autonomous loitering mortars. Fucking scary stuff to be on the receiving end of.

Because there is not always a need for a wall of text.. or because I am doing other things meanwhile ..

And in this case it’s not worth my time .. Russia should just ban the whole world. Do their thing, leave the Ukraine and go fuck them selves .

It was worth enough of your time to reply, first to misunderstand the significance and then to correct yourself retrospectively with a "actually I knew all that". If it's not worth your time then it's not worth your time and that is shown in how you post, thankfully you've admitted that you still have enough time for low level shitposts.

Russia sanctions wrong Joe Biden, claims White House after Kremlin targets US individuals in retaliation

When asked what impact the Kremlin's sanctions would have, White House press secretary Jen Psaki's tongue-in-cheek response was said that none of those targeted was planning a trip to Moscow anyway.

I see the Kremlin is back to accusing the UK of "anti-Russian Hysteria" again.

No Putin, think you will find this is "anti-Russia invading its democratic neighbour for trumped up reasons, then committing genocide" hysteria
