[QUOTE=VinDici;2940978]Anything Q posts is a pack of lies directly from Orc TV, if you are relying on him and Drama, then you may as well pack up and go back to the Kremlin right now.[/QUOTE]So what are you saying exactly? That there is no land bridge to Crimea?
[QUOTE=Xpartan;2941045]What consequences? You never said what Putin would do that he's never done before. Why be shy about this?[/QUOTE]You really have no clue do you. Look at Kiev right now. Yeah they have issues with power now that Russia has started targeting the energy infrastructure. But it could look a lot worse if Russia wanted. You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, so try and put two and two together.
[QUOTE=Xpartan;2940993]That's great news. So what media are independent? Come on, don't be shy now.
Wow, that's priceless even from you! Thank you, I needed a good laugh.[/QUOTE]Yes, that pic of Zaluzhny is authentic and has not been doctored. Zoom in on the bracelet, you will see the Nazi swastika. You already have the pic of Zaluzhny in front of a portrait of his hero, the Nazi Stepan Bandera. I rest my case. P.S. Nice selective quoting.

The unstoppable might of the Russian army, righteous victimhood -- you are a victim of 80 years of unceasing Russian propaganda. Try closing your eyes and breathing deeply through your nose.

What exactly will scary Putin do after the Ukrainians destroy the bridge?
Stop with your dumb, vague, apocalyptical whispering and tell us already. Most of all, be specific, so we can compare our notes after -- yes, AFTER, not "if" -- the bridge is destroyed.
I say he'll do nothing that he hasn't already done. More bombings, more killings. Nothing new. Just same old war crimes, same old genocide.

You really don't understand that you sound like an idiot or you just don't care? The twit I linked to shows two pics next to each other. It tells you how to reproduce this illusion. Just go there and do it for yourself.

[QUOTE=BloodRed;2941191]You can't debate worth shit so you post nonsense.[/QUOTE]Look within.
You are on a mongering board, in the Ukraine forums promoting the glory of the Russians.
Something has gone wrong in your life.
Take some time for self reflection.
[QUOTE=BloodRed;2941191]You can't debate worth shit so you post nonsense.[/QUOTE]Explain to us again the invasion of Kursk oblast and the response by the mighty Russian army.
[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2941223]Explain to us again the invasion of Kursk oblast and the response by the mighty Russian army.[/QUOTE]I already addressed it if you had read my previous posts. The Russians got caught with their pants down, a huge intelligence failure. The purpose of AFU with the Kursk PR stunt was to capture the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, which they failed to do. They also hoped to divert Russian manpower from the Donbas to Kursk. That also did not happen, and the AFU defenses are crumbling in Donetsk. The Bandera terrorists in Kursk are in an open area, they can't really dig in and they will be isolated and killed, make no mistake about it. Ukraine can't sustain or hold on to Kursk. This talk about a buffer zone is complete nonsense. Anyone with a military background will tell you this. The Banderites in Kursk are exposed. They have no air cover. They are sitting ducks for Russian drones and missiles. The Kursk incursion was a gamble which failed.
[QUOTE=BloodRed;2941255]...they will be isolated and killed, make no mistake about it. Ukraine can't sustain or hold on to Kursk...[/QUOTE]I can see this is emotionally very difficult for you. It is impossible to recognize when you're in, and a victim of, a religion or a cult until there is a catastrophic event that forces you awake. For eighty years the Russians have very effectively created the self actualizing myth about themselves. Russia can never be defeated in battle. The Russian people are strong. We Russians single handedly defeated the Nazis. Our great grandfathers were heroes who nobly sacrificed themselves for the Motherland. We were the heroes of WWII. Russian soldiers are strong. The Russian army is the greatest in the world. We are great, we are powerful -- and yet we are victims! The West is evil and conspires against us. Ukraine (and Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Finland) is (are) a weak and degenerate country ruled by nazis. And Ukraine is not a real country anyway. Ukranians are slavs like us, but not exactly like us since they are stupid, craven and weak, and needless to say we will defeat them in a week. By right and history Ukraine is part of Russia. The Ukranians will welcome us as liberators! Crimea is an integral part of Russia. Russia is a mighty country and no one can defeat us, and blah blah blah.
It is all a pack of lies. Russians have been fed disinformation, propaganda, bullshit and lies for eighty years. Surely, on some level (and having access to news from around the world), you must realize that you have been fed a bowlful of total bullshit for your entire life. The truth is Russia did not wage a noble war in WWII -- it was a vile war of territorial aggrandizement, which oppressed and terrorized free people for the subsequent forty years. In 1992, Russia lost 40% of its GDP and manufacturing base when Ukraine left...and that's exactly what you're fighting against now. Russia is not great. It is not powerful. Its GDP is the same as Mexico's. You have a rotting, corrupt, incompetent armed forces with rotting planes, ships and missiles, manned by alcoholics, prisioners and conscripts. Mexico could beat Russia.
Okay, mister all wise, super experienced, military guy. Let's make a bet. When are the Russians going to kick the Ukranians out of Kursk? A week, a month, a year? When? Place your bet. As I said in the first sentence, I know this is hard for you. Tell me, when you see videos of the M1126 ICV's just f!cking ravaging behind your lines, what does that make you feel? Does it make you confident in the power and might of the Russian army. Or maybe, do you feel the teeny tiniest bit of doubt?

But I have already clearly stated that the Bandera scum terrorists in Kursk will be neutralized and that this buffer zone talk is complete bullshit, it's not going to happen. Pay attention to the situation in Donetsk, that's where the real battle is. Watch the Bandera defenses in Donetsk collapse and watch the corrupt actor who is the illegal President of Ukraine get more and more desperate. History will not judge this clown kindly, he campaigned with a promise of peace and took Ukraine down the primrose path.

Russians have attacked civilians, tortured soldiers, raped the populace and kidnapped the children. The orcs haven't had a democratic election in decades and you talk about Ukrainians with absolutely no evidence, and on top accuse others of lacking debate skills?
There is no debating someone who accuses one side of atrocities, yet is completely blind to the exponentially worse things that his own paymasters are doing.
All of your talk here is completely disingenuous and trolling. Look within and take some time to reflect.
Update: I had a chance to visit and work in person with the "business associate" below, who I'd now call a friend. He says the fighting is getting increasingly close to the town where his business partner's family lives. They're still semi-hiding in their basements, but happily expecting the Russians to take control of the town soon. He says his partner is now updating him frequently.
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2927745]This is a message I got today from a western business associate who worked in the FSU for a couple of decades. It's about one of his business partners who was originally from the Donbas. I've omitted places and names so I don't "out" myself or him.
*****s extended family, Aunts and Uncles and cousins live in (Name of city and area in Donbas) under the jack-boot of the Ukrainian Army and last time I heard feed-back about six months ago, they were fearing for their lives daily. Skin-heads patrol the streets and pistol whip any dissenters. They are afraid to speak Russian as they have a mixed Russian and Cossack heritage. *****s aunt and uncles and cousins have been living in their respective basements for a few years now, one cousin died of a heart attack last year (only 30 years old). ***** was devastated, it's all very sad for Ukrainians to be thrust into a major war with one of the most effective yet brutal armies historically and the west pouring weapons in, to 'save Ukraine just increases the misery of the people who can't do much as they don't live in a democracy as we understand it.[/QUOTE]
