It double sucks that they didn’t manage to actually butcher those recruitment thugs. Sorry - not sorry - for sounding bloodthirsty - these mfs deserve the fate of WW2 Nazi collaborators in the USSR.
The bad news is that (allegedly) the axemen were found, trial pending, up to 7 years of prison if found guilty. Which is ironically somewhat good news if this were to happen - it’s better to serve jail time than to become cannon fodder for the US/NATO empire.
Where’s Japan? We need the whole circus
That’s not being a ‘determinist’, that’s just plain old mathematical certainty, considering Russia’s powerful industrial output, technological superiority, population advantage and supreme military experience. Also - overpriced NATO wonder weapons proved their papertigerness.
The US, the neocon monsters, those with actual competence… My take is - either the vast majority of them or ALL of them knew the impossibility of victory on the battlefield. That was not the point anyway
These annoying little fascist NATO puppets are not even paper tigers at this point, these are yapping paper chihuahuas.
Hey! I made a meme exactly like this a couple days ago, planning to post it on Lemmygrad. Many thanks, comrade!
AFAIK he wanted Zaluzhny to resign on his own accord, perhaps so it doesn’t look like Zelensky fired him. Allegedly Zaluzhny told Zelensky to fuck off, stating that if he wanted to dismiss him he’ll have to do it. Zelensky, it appears, does not want to give the order himself to avoid bad PR.
My guess would be if Ukraine does surrender then Russia will insist that it becomes effectively demilitarized and breaks relations with the west.
That would mean the end for the Banderites and the Nazis, no matter what form the unconditional surrender takes. Which is interesting in itself, since Zal is a Banderite fascist, one among many in the state apparatus. My bet is Russia will not tolerate these people in any way, shape or form, thus if the Ukrainian state survives (as a rump state, without Kharkov, Nikolaev and Odessa perhaps, but we’ll see) - the entire government would have to be purged. If they coup Zelensky and surrender, they will have to go as well, I think
Is there a corresponding article from the AP, though?
At this point they might just go ahead and admit it openly, running around throwing roman salutes. Though, something tells me even that won’t get the liberals convinced
It depends. The flat areas of the steppe are located in the Southern and Eastern parts of the country. There’s a substantial amounts of heavily forested areas in Northern and Central areas, similar to what Belarus has (which is understandable, given that Belarus is to the North of Ukraine and has a ton of forests and swamps).
There are also mountains in the West (where the Nazis mostly come from, by the way) - they constitute a part of the wider Carpathian Belt (the Carpathians).
Yeah, I don’t think Putin is going to be around at that point in time. He’s in his 70s, after all.
A socialist union, I might add. 😉
I suppose they could get opportunistic, though of course they’ll have to deal with the Banderites and all the Nazis themselves. I wonder how much weaponry that “was lost to corruption” will suddenly pop up there.
Not to mention the migration crisis that might be created.
Luh/Lukh/Lug means “meadow”, I think, both in Russian and Ukrainian. It would then roughly translate to “[he who is] behind a meadow”.
So for those unaware, zaluzhny is/was the commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces. Top dog of the military, officially under Ukrainian defense minister and president.
Also - a staunch banderite
I mean, after WW2 a lot of those Nazis got cushy jobs in NATO and other US-controlled organizations. AFAIK they appointed one as General Secretary right after the war. Not to mention - operation Gladio and operation Paperclip is a thing.
Reminds me of a meme with a dude on the gallows with a noose: “First time?” That dude is the Kurds
120+ years of mastering the art of propaganda. Gotta give the West credit where it’s due - it is THE thing they are good at - projections, lies, omission of facts and half-truths.
This. They could not have come close to having even a tiny chance of victory on the battlefield, and the US knew it all along.
It’s like saying “the fish you’re after is slipping away!” when you’re at the beach with nothing but a fishing rod in your hand, the fish is 100 km from the coast line and the fish, it turns out, is a fucking 30-ton blue whale.
Useless and fucked up
