Stupid Shit in Kyiv

[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2810137]You guys truly live in a Fantasy world. Ukraine is done. The sooner they figure that out, many lives will be saved, we can move on, and we will avoid World War 3. Sometimes I actually believe this is what you want. You wanted a war, now we all have to deal with the consequences, and Ukraine is being destroyed, but in your liberal world this might be a win.

Ukraine military has out performed every ones expectations, but they are done and the support from their allies is slowing down. If there government was not so corrupt who knows what might have happened, but they always have to cheat, lie and steal. You guys watch CNN and All the other crap networks. The sad part is your actually believe there Crap.[/QUOTE]We are certainly not listening to you. The fact is Russia has been on the offensive for 3 months and achieved nothing. Ukraine can probably take back half of Donbass with 10 Leopards given the Russians have murdered most of their own forces.

You guys truly are delusional.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2810182]Russian girls who would be interested in mating with the Chinese would have an intention to leave stepmother-Russia behind and shut the door behind them. As much as they might get a buyer's remorse later on (because China is not exactly a promised land), their intention would be to relocate to China.

Also I think it was you who reported official Chinese dating commercials on Russian TV. I don't know if China would easily let children of Chinese citizens leave the country.[/QUOTE]Both Russians and Chinese view themselves as superior to other races and ethnicities, so I'm guessing any pairing could be a real shit show!

And, no matter the country in which the parents decided to settle, any children would be "half-breeds," with all the negatives that inevitably accompany that status. The problem with ubermenschen is that they place a high value on the purity of the bloodline, which doesn't make for a hospitable attitude toward mutts.

Which means, if the parents (or parent) moves to a third country (assuming they can), then they won't be doing anything to help either Russia's or China's demographic problem. Same thing if the child leaves when they're older and on their own. I guess it's an occupational hazard for any "Master Race" that they either eliminate or alienate any who don't meet their purity standards.

[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2810334]You will have no military left in 10 months. You guys truly are delusional.[/QUOTE]Talk about delusional. You have none left now, just prisoners with HIV forced to fight to get some meds.

[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2810334]You will have no military left in 10 months. You guys truly are delusional.[/QUOTE]Wasn't true then, and isn't true now. Once again, zero facts to back up your assertion. You might have better luck if you stick to predictions about the CDMX mongering scene.

BTW, whenever I see or hear any of those so-called experts who made wrong predictions, and they haven't acknowledged their mistakes, I automatically flag them as unserious posers. No one is infallible, but anyone who cares about the truth should have the intellectual integrity to admit past mistakes.

An honest pundit or expert would detail the reasoning behind the wrong prediction and then move forward to explain how their analysis has evolved. Shameless narrative-mongers and self-promoters will never do that.

[QUOTE=Jmsuttr;2810337]Both Russians and Chinese view themselves as superior to other races and ethnicities, so I'm guessing any pairing could be a real shit show![/QUOTE]True. Of theses two ethnicities, however, only the Chinese have at least some historical evidence to back up that claim (please take it as half joke -- I'm the last person to support any superior race theory).

Half-breed kids will always suffer growing up in either country. That's not even debatable.

China might be betting on keeping these kids in China when they grow up, which, for a totalitarian regime, is not that far-fetched come to think about it. But what's really going to happen 20-30 years from now is a crapshoot anyway.

You rattle off BS and pretend there's some kind of factual basis or authoritative source behind it. It's my guess that everything you post comes straight from the Kremlin's preferred propaganda sources. I'm sure you regularly suck at the tit of RT, and similar Putin mouthpieces. And that's perfectly fine, as you're free to believe whatever deluded BS you want.

But throwing out supposed "data" and "information," while refusing to reveal your sources, is intellectually dishonest. Nobody is going to take your word for anything, eapecially since you've firmly cemented your reputation as a Putin butt-boy. So it's the height of hilarity to watch you try to pretend that you actually care about objective fact and truth.

Let's take your tank production "figures," as just one example. Here's a source that provides information that pretty much blows your narrative out of the water:

[URL]https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/04/19/whats-perfectly-round-made-of-metal-and-keeping-russia-from-replacing-the-2000-tanks-its-lost-in-ukraine/[/URL]

The article starts by talking about the effect of sanctions on things like optical systems for tanks, then it moves on to the more mundane (yet essential) topic of ball bearings.

"But optics aren't the only thing in short supply in the Russian armored vehicle industry. The Russians also are desperately short of ball-bearings, which they used to get from the United States and Europe before the United States and Europe tightened their sanctions on Russian industry.

A new study from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC confirmed what independent analysts have been saying for months. Tanks and other modern armored vehicles need a lot of ball-bearings. And Russia doesn't have enough bearings to maintain steady production of new vehicles".

"The ball-bearing problem might be even harder for Moscow to solve. Even after trading Sosna-Us for 1 PN96 MT-02's, Uralvagonzavod and Omsktransmash still were at an impasse. Workers were building or restoring most of a tank, then running out of parts.

It's for that reason that Russia has struggled to make good the 2,000 or more tanks it has lost in 14 months of hard fighting in Ukraine. Russian forces need at least 150 new or restored tanks a month just to maintain their front-line strength".

"Careful analysis of activity at Uralvagonzavod and Omsktransmash strongly hints the factories every month are shipping out just a few dozen modern-ish tanks: either new-build T-72 BM3's or T-90 Ms or reconditioned T-72's, T-80's and T-90's that technicians have pulled out of long-term storage.

Which is why the Russians are traveling back in time, technologically speaking, and reactivating 1960's-vintage T-62's and 1950's-vintage T-55's that have been moldering in storage since the 1980's".

So there you have it. A source that explains why the Russians have no balls (bearings, that is), and explains what it means for ACTUAL tank production, which is different from the propaganda coming out of the pro-Russia outlets.

So here's a direct challenge: Do you have the balls to post the actual sources of your alleged facts? Or are you as much of a eunuch as the Russian tank industry?

False pride is often all someone has, and in that case they'll cling to it with a death grip. National, racial or ethnic pride can certainly co-exist with some individuals of the same seeking better economic opportunities elsewhere. Your whole angle is a laughable non-sequitur.

Monger forums truly win the day for the volume of stupid remarks found. Sports forums are a close second.

[QUOTE=Jmsuttr;2809595]However, in stark contrast to many (including you), I have the ability to keep my personal opinions separate from my observations with respect to objective fact (s). So, when I post about a specific piece of evidence, or a specific set of facts, I do my best to stay within the parameters those facts delineate. Also, I am always happy and ready to engage in fact-based debates and discussions. And I've even challenged the narrative-mongers to such debates. The response has either been more narrative or, more often (wait for it), nothing but crickets.

I fully understand what confirmation bias is, and I studiously avoid it. I let the facts shape my view, whereas others (like you) see everything through the lens of their preferred narrative.

Another fine example of projection by you. Blinders much?[/QUOTE]You are so clueless it hurts. Your ego is the size of a mountain as you pat yourself on the back for facts and then are clueless to as what they really are.

Seymour Hersh beaks the story on the Nordstream pipeline bombing. It goes into meticulous detail. If even one fact of the report is wrong, they can toss the whole thing, so is that what the government does? No, they do exactly what you would expect if all the facts are correct. They assert he has one source, they bring up times he was wrong in the past, and they make him and not the facts the issue upon which people judge.

And let's get real. You did not read Hersh's story. You just read the bullshit "fact checkers" story.

The next thing to do is the classic Democratic douche move and slam me as a Tucker Carlson listening, closed minded right winger. Only issue with that is Hersh is anything but a right winger. He is as liberal as they come. Still, anyone telling truth to the progressive narrative is a right winger these days.

Then there is this kid Jack Teixeira leaking documents about the Ukraine war. He is arrested and of course, those in the military industrial complex call the information he was releasing disinformation and misinformation but once again they do not give any specifics as to what he released was wrong. So if someone states facts harmful to the government narrative, and the government does not state they are untrue specifically, they probably are true.

Quite frankly, I found the whole story to be so outrageous that I believed it to be true. Dramfrree said this guy was a CIA plant, but I did not see any of the information Teixeira released to be helpful to the CIA. I put that at low odds around 10%.

Well, now it turns out Teixeira was leaking information about the war since it began, and his information was vey accurate. [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/airmans-leaks-started-just-48-hours-after-russia-invaded-ukraine[/URL].

When you call Russians orcs, JM, you are advertising your cognitive bias. You swallowed whole that absolutely idiotic notion that because Russian ships were near Nordstream, the Russians blew up said pipeline. I would say that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, but that got topped.

"In what sounds like it might just be a comically absurd attempt to portray Teixeira as a Russian asset, prosecutors this filed new information with the court, noting that he once shot a vintage Soviet pistol. " At this point, I may as well be a Russian agent because I once had a shot of Stolichnaya vodka.

So now that we or rather I know that what Teixeira released was 99+% true it begs the question what is the USA doing in Ukraine. This fight for Democracy crap always was nonsense. The second part was to weaken Russia but for what? They do not seem all that strong to begin with. The DOD inflating Russian military strength to get money has been going for 50+ years.

Well, we already know that Biden has lined his family's pockets with American aid packages before, but this war is on a scale 100 X larger than Hunter and Burisma. It also shows me the dumb Dems still believe in Russiagate and think weakening Putin will help them in 2024.

[QUOTE=Jmsuttr;2809880]One of the points of my earlier post was to debunk the bogus narrative that Russia has a legal claim to Crimea. It's clear that they don't, full stop. When the USSR dissolved it split into (IIRC) 15 newly independent countries. That's a shitload of border issues that needed to be resolved and, in the case of Ukraine, those were clearly settled in 1991 and 1997, per the evidence I've already cited.

With respect to referendum insufficiency (or irregularity), I find that argument wholly unpersuasive. As I recall, there were international observers so, as long as standards for fair elections were met, the turnout was what it was and the results were what they were. It was a binary "stay or leave" choice and almost 55% (in Crimea) voted to leave. From 1991 to 1997, Russia had ample opportunity to raise this issue and, to my knowledge, they didn't. The 1997 treaty re the inviolability of the existing borders effectively puts that issue to rest. And it's also noteworthy that not even the Russians are advancing any kind of independence referendum-centric argument.

With respect to the historic connection argument, that's not only unpersuasive but it's flat-out hogwash. Did they fight in Crimea? Sure, so what? How many times has the Alsace-Lorraine region changed hands? How many pieces of European (and elsewhere) territory once belonged to other countries? Hell, by the connection-language-ethnicity argument, Switzerland should be carved up and divided between France, Germany, and Italy. And which parts of the former Austro-Hungarian empire need to be rejiggered? Lots of battles fought, and blood spilled, in those areas..[/QUOTE]I think your missing the bigger picture in my post. It's very possible there will be a political settlement before there is a sweeping Ukrainian military victory. That's where my perspective on Crimea originates. As I have said before, the peace negotiations might not give the Ukraine everything they had hoped. A political settlement could have some messy elements including persistent tension.

No offense, but you seem to take the Ukraine War a bit too personally. One doesn't necessarily have to be Ukrainian to hold a personal animosity towards Russia.
