[QUOTE=BloodRed;2955112]Because the last Ukrainian is not yet dead?[/QUOTE]You should negociate future payments for your propaganda to be in a hard currency.
[QUOTE=BloodRed;2955082] Great powers fuck other countries up. Whether some of you guys want to admit it or not, Russia is a great power. [/QUOTE]Yea, thus Russia has any right to "fuck up UA" simply because Russia is a great power.
Probably, that's it what Putler learned from Adolf.
[QUOTE=BloodRed;2955017]Please see my reply to Xpartan.
Russia wouldn't tolerate American missiles being placed in Ukraine, hence no NATO expansion into Ukraine. That was a red line.
The Americans wouldn't tolerate Soviet missiles in Cuba. That was their red line.
I hope you can follow?[/QUOTE]Placement or non-placement of any kind of weaponry in Ukraine could've been negotiated if the degenerate fascist Kremlin regime didn't decide to solve all their problems with a victorious 3-day campaign.
Now, your second army of the world [B]in Ukraine[/B] is in no position to "not tolerate" anything.
What's plan be after your bluff is called?

"They fucked up in 2014," Biden said to a friend, according to Woodward. "That's why we are here. We fucked it up".
[URL]https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/08/politics/bob-woodward-book-war-joe-biden-putin-netanyahu-trump/index.html[/URL][/QUOTE]Did you actually read this article, LOL? I don't think so, LOL.
I've always felt that two most capable presidents of the modern times, Clinton and Obama, royally fucked up in international affairs.
In 1992, Clinton pushed Ukraine into the corner demanding, threatening, blackmailing them into giving up their nukes in exchange for the empty declaration that wasn't worth either ink or paper it was printed on.
Obama responded to the 2014 invasion of Crimea with a toothless set of ineffective sanctions that Putin easily skirted with the help of his agents and useful idiots in the West.
Politicians never learn, it seems.
[QUOTE]Ahead of Russias invasion of Ukraine, Biden complained that Obama didnt do enough to stop Putin in 2014, when the Russian leader invaded Crimea.
They fucked up in 2014, Biden said to a friend, according to Woodward. Thats why we are here. We fucked it up. Barack never took Putin seriously.
Biden added, We did nothing. We gave Putin a license to continue! Biden was angry: Well, Im revoking his fucking license![/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]That fucking Putin, Biden said to advisers in the Oval Office not long after Russias invasion of Ukraine, according to Woodward. Putin is evil. We are dealing with the epitome of evil. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Biden confronted Putin with the intelligence twice in December 2021, first in a video conference and then in what Woodward describes as a hot 50-minute call that became so heated that at one point that Putin raised the risk of nuclear war in a threatening way."
Biden responded by reminding Putin that its impossible to win a nuclear war."
"One of the most dramatic scenes in War reveals just how alarmed Biden and his national security team became over the prospect of Putin using nuclear weapons.
By September 2022, US intelligence reports deemed exquisite revealed a deeply unnerving assessment of Putin that he was so desperate about battlefield losses that he might use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Based on the alarming new intelligence reports, the White House believed there was a 50% chance Russia would use a tactical nuclear weapon a striking assessment that had skyrocketed up from 5% and then 10%, Woodward reports.
On all channels, get on the line with the Russians, Biden instructed his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan. Tell them what we will do in response, he said, according to Woodward.
The book recounts a tense phone call between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his Russian counterpart in October 2022.
If you did this, all the restraints that we have been operating under in Ukraine would be reconsidered, Austin said to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, according to Woodward. This would isolate Russia on the world stage to a degree you Russians cannot fully appreciate.
I dont take kindly to being threatened, Shoigu responded.
Mr. Minister, Austin said, according to Woodward, I am the leader of the most powerful military in the history of the world. I dont make threats.
Two days later, the Russians requested another call. This time, the Russian defense minister dramatically claimed the Ukrainians were planning to use a dirty bomb a false story the US believed the Kremlin was pushing as a pretext to deploy a nuclear weapon.
We dont believe you, Austin said firmly in response, according to Woodward. We dont see any indications of this, and the world will see through this.
Dont do it, he said to Shoigu.
I understand, Shoigu replied.
It was probably the most hair-raising moment of the whole war, Colin Kahl, a senior Pentagon official, later said of the episode."[/QUOTE]Shit, I've got to read this book.

The above meant moving NATO infrastructure closer to our borders. We will not allow Aegis ([URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegis_Ballistic_Missile_Defense_System[/URL]) there or for better anywhere close.
[QUOTE=ReinerOtto;2955146]Yea, thus Russia has any right to "fuck up UA" simply because Russia is a great power.
Probably, that's it what Putler learned from Adolf.[/QUOTE]Again, you are missing the point. I'm not saying it's right. But that is the world we live in, isn't it?
Look at what America did to Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria. The Soviets did similar shit.
No, not because they're bombing homes, destroy apartment buildings, and kill civilians.
No, not because they're bombing homes, destroy apartment buildings, and kill civilians in Kursk, Russia. Just like their fuhrer, they really don't give a shit who to kill.
No, they're unhappy because it's been months since they were paid their special combat bonuses. So they made their grievances known, by writing on one of their bombs.
[QUOTE]"Dear Ministry of Defense, I'm an FAB with UMPK. Soon I will fly to destroy occupiers in Kursk Oblast. I'm upset for my crew, they have not received bonus pay for counterterrorist operations since August. Sort it out! P.S. You can make mistakes, but you can't lie."[/QUOTE]For those who don't know, that last line (You can make mistakes, but you can't lie) is from a speech of the new Minister of Offence Belousov, which has made it into numerous memes. Belousov, just like all of them, lies persistently and profusely.
FAB-500's are 1,100-pound air-dropped bombs guided by the UMPK winged system.
See, every penny in Russia (I mean what's left after the steal) goes into getting the new recruits to sign up for the meatgrinder duties. Some regions pay as much as 3 million rubles, which is almost $40,000--the sum, 99% of Russians will never have earned in their lifetimes. The goal is to get the meat to the front lines. After that, the money train usually stops. Who gives a fuck, they can't leave anyway.
However, I was really surprised that pilots have money issues, too. Unlike totally disposable infantry grunts, pilots are elite. Things are probably going even worse for stepmother-Russia than I previously thought.

Putin wants to ditch dollars and trade in local currencies. Yet, his failed mafia state can't even provide a smattering of VIP guests with a reliable way of converting their currencies.
What a country!
[QUOTE]Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting a major summit with more than 20 world leaders whom he's trying to convince to ditch the dollar.
De-dollarization is one of Putin's priorities because trading in local currencies would mean that a heavily sanctioned Russia wouldn't be beholden to the Western US-dollar-dominated global financial order.
But it's not easy to move away from the greenback. The organizers of the BRICS summit have advised foreign attendees to bring cash specifically US dollars and euros to the event in the Russian city of Kazan.
Most Russian banks will only take US dollars or euros which Moscow has deemed "toxic currencies" to exchange for rubles, according to a guide on the summit's website.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/putin-s-dollar-problem-is-on-clear-display-at-the-brics-summit-starting-with-the-moment-guests-land-at-the-airport/ar-AA1sLK7U[/URL]
Everyone knows the video of Ukrainian air force bombing Lugansk on June 2, 2014 - that is using army against own civilian population.
[URL]https://youtu.be/0xp_v7odTrY?si=5c6i0l-Od4O9Z5TZ[/URL]
The second video is Ukrainian TV reporting that the explosions were caused by 'exploding air conditioners' in the building.

[QUOTE=BloodRed;2955731]I'm glad they are a part of Russia now. May all of Ukraine and Russia be at peace soon.[/QUOTE]Yup, hopefully by February or latest March 2025.
The comprehensive strategic security agreement between RF and and. Korea has been ratified. This follows the similar agreement with PRC. The agreement with Iran to follow soon. All countries are neighboring, their combined nuclear, industrial, military and mobilization resource matches NATO's. Without NATO the conflict would never have been even started. I have only recently read that the West as if has been planning to incur a strategic defeat on Russia. That is a good uncut shit indeed, whom they are buying it from?
[QUOTE=Gino02;2956186]Yup, hopefully by February or latest March 2025.[/QUOTE]I think it will take Russia the summer of 2025 to conquer all of the Donbas. There are already moves in the Zaporizhya direction and then of course there is Kherson. Let's see. Hopefully Trump wins and forces the Kiev regime to come to the negotiating table and get to grips with reality, not fantasy like their 'Victory Plan' which even the collective West is laughing at.
