Putin has been easy on Ukraine for a long time.

If they go they will have to push from Belarus and make a landing in that half island part under Moldova under the threat of Harpoon missiles.

For the eastern part they won't let any land to ukraine so Kiev will at least be on the border (Dniepr). So once the russian army comes there the fighting will probably destroy Kiev.

On the other hand, having the Dniepr as a border will strenghten Ukrainian position and will be a natural obstacle in any future war if Ukraine goes into NATO. And ukrainians will keep harassing them with artillery accross the river so the fighting will continue 10 years at least.

Russia has no other choice than take all Ukraine. So IMO the plan is right now is to kill as many ukros as possible and let just the normal peopke that refuse the war who either hide or leave the country because once they are the only ones left they will be easy to rule over if they annexe the country.

With the fanatics they will have attacks every day if they annexe it just like US in afghanistan or Iraq. So until they kill at least 80% of them they won't push to take territory.

The have a large protected crossing. Its called Belarus in case you didn't hear.

To FP.....

I agree with you, so I also wrote that if Russia takes/liberates Odessa or Kharkov again, a large population will leave those cities.
Remember only one thing and that is that a country WITHOUT a national identity is a country that has been lost in the long run. When I hear that a Westerner writes here that he is an atheist - I don't give a ****. However, when a Russian writes that, I immediately KNOW that some Westerner will try to recruit that Russian against the Russian state.
As long as Russia keeps Lenin's mausoleum, there is no happiness for Russia. To this day, Russians are dying because of all the evil brought by the red rats.

I have written countless times who is to blame for why Odessa, Nikolaev and Kharkov are in today's Ukroshitstan.
However, those who celebrate red rats like that disgusting bolshevik Firebird and others like him (atheists and liberals and similar side effects of Western civilization transferred to Eastern Europe) are people without a national identity.

I am in favor of Russia using the given weapon to strike the West (not Ukroshitstan) with nuclear weapons, if necessary.
Russia's greatest enemy and the only real one is the West.
Russia does not need Kharkov or Odessa, Russia needs victory against the West.

That's what I said, genius...

@Podlodka

You know even by the standard of retards you are pathetic.
Besides, how exactly is someone who has run his own successful business in the financial markets for the last 15 yrs a "Bolshevik"?
How is someone who is actually a modern democratic style Socialist a "Bolshevik"?
How is someone who, unlike you, actually considers ALL of Russia's history a "Bolshevik"?

You have as much brains, and morals as 'elensky!

The "disgusting" ones are your kind. Those who suck up to the internationalist evil that was feudalism.
If there weren't monarcucks like you, Russia would never have had ANY of its currently problems which stemmed from Tsarism, WW1, the Gr Patriotic War and 1991's sell out to the United Snakes by your heroes like Yeltsin.

Pathetic, your warmongering is silly and fantastic. Very glad that the Russian leadership dos not think like you. So much trigger happy people here...

And how do you suggest Russia achieves that without conquering the whole of Ukraine and turning it into a Russian protectorate, landlocked without Black Sea access and a standing military? Or would you rather sign Minsk 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively?

On these terms it's possible to come to agreements with many forces in the Ukraine that would be ready to oppose Zelensky if the conditions are right.

Which forces? The only people that had the power and coordination to oppose the nazi scum joined the LDPR resistance from 2014 onwards. All other opposition groups are either in jail, dead or hiding in fear.

Broski, I agree with you.

Flamming Python, that is what Russia tried to do for years and was available to do until April 2022.

Now that is not possible anymore. And would make the dead till now useless.
 Minimum objective is current hold territories plus full Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk oblasts (so that they are not able to shell or try strange games against the nuclear power plant in energodar) plus the whole southwestern coast until the Danube, while the rest of 404 will be kept as a puppet state without army and without western embassies allowed.
Less than that will be a defeat for Russia and will restart the problems soon.

Ukraine cannot be allowed exist as independent country if EU and USA exists in their current form.

And about Bielorussia as protected crossing... Only until next colored revolution. If Russia does not make a stop to this tumor in its historical lands which is country 404, Belarus is the next.

No Ms. Low Def, that's the bearded whore you celebrste.  She had to take lots of loads to the face or her daddies in Kiev won't get those big billions coming in. The ho's problem is that most Arabs don't want anything to do with Zelensky because prostitution is a capital crime in southwest Asia.

Its going to be on corps and people making over 400K.

400k a year for a couple in states like California or New York is upper middle class. They are already paying about 50% of their income in taxes when you add federal, state, local, and sales tax. More pertinently, most of those people making 400k are producing productive income. That's not the problem. The problem is not income disparity it is wealth disparity: intergenerational wealth measured in hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. They love taxing the slumps making 400k because that just limits their future competition.

Death taxes are also part of the equation, i seriously doubt anyone making 400K is paying 50% tax in the USA. Yes I agree that wealth transfers need to be heavily taxed above a certain threshold.

Top federal marginal tax rate on income in the US is 37%. Top state income tax rate in California is 12.3%, in New York it is 10.9%. Sales tax in California is 7.25% and in New York 4%. Additional wage tax 1.5% in San Francisco and 3.8% in NYC. This doesn't include property tax, gas tax, excise taxes on utilities, phone service, alcohol, tobacco, automobiles, insurance ect. Still think no one pays 50%?

То Firebird

Listen to me carefully, red Bolshevik...
I am an Orthodox Christian who would NEVER allow an inferior pig (Satan Lenin) to come and impose what Lenin imposed on the Russians..
You stupid idiot, the West played tricks on the Russians by the red Bolshevik vermin to disunite Russia.
The people are made by CULTURE, CUSTOMS, FOLK NAMES - NOT A RED PARTY BOOKLET.

No dinner is older than faith, remember that antichrist.
I hate the Bolsheviks as much as the Nazis.
Because of those vermin, Russians are dying even today.

US involved in assassination of Russian public figures – Moscow, 05.19.2023.

The number of domestic terrorist incidents increased greatly since the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, Nikolay Patrushev says.

The most high-profile Ukrainian “terrorist acts” in Russia were carried out with the assistance of Washington, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev, has claimed.

Speaking at a government meeting on Friday, Patrushev said that Russia has information that “the murders of Darya Dugina and Vladlen Tatarsky, the bombing of Zakhar Prilepin’s car, the explosion at the Crimean Bridge,” the Nord Stream pipelines sabotage, and other “terrorists acts” were “planned and carried out under the coordination of US special services”.

Those attacks were “accompanied by an information campaign prepared in advance in Washington and London, designed to destabilize the social and political situation, [and to] undermine the constitutional foundations and sovereignty of Russia,” the security chief stressed.

“The intensity of terrorist attacks has vastly increased” since Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine over a year ago, he added.

According to Patrushev, Ukrainian saboteur groups, who are trained by NATO instructors, have been actively trying to target important infrastructure inside Russia, including with drones.

In view of those events additional measures should be implemented to protect key facilities and places where people gather in large numbers, he said.  

Earlier this week, the chief of Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) General Kirill Budanov was asked about attacks on prominent Russian public figures and replied that his agency has “already gotten many” of them. However, he declined to mention any names. In an earlier interview, Budanov vowed to “keep killing Russians anywhere on the face of this world until the complete victory of Ukraine.”

Journalist and activist Darya Dugina, the daughter of Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, died after her car exploded on a highway outside Moscow last summer. Russia’s Security Service (FSB) said the murder of the 29-year-old was carried out by Ukrainian nationals, who managed to flee the country.

In late April, Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in St Petersburg after a statue that had been handed to him during an event with his followers exploded. A dozen people were also wounded. The FSB has blamed the blast on “Ukrainian special services and their agents, including fugitive members of the Russian opposition.”

Earlier this month, prominent Russian author and political activist Zakhar Prilepin was severely injured in a car bomb near the city of Nizhny Novgorod. His driver was killed. A suspect has admitted to Russian law enforcement that he’d been hired by an unspecified Ukrainian intelligence service.

An interesting development to be sure

If he is dead, then it makes me wonder why the Ukrainians did not report it immediately - it can't be hidden indefinately. What are they hoping for, that he will return from the dead?
Well then again, we're talking about the same people who refused to order a withdrawal from Bakhmut after their defensive position there became compromised.

Now if that's the case, then how about some theories about why he was taken out

A). In retaliation to the drone attack on the Kremlin. The timeline fits well, with the attack on the Kremlin only taking place a few days before Zaluzhny is speculated to have been taken out. And Zelensky is still out and about traveling the world since that little incident, so clearly something has him spooked strong. I consider this to be the most likely explanation.

B). Accidentally. There are so many missiles, shells, rockets flying about hitting things, including command posts and various bunkers, that it's just a hazardous trade visiting anywhere near the front and Zaluzhny got unlucky during his latest trip. I'd actually put this as the 2nd most likely explanation.

C). Russian command figured that Sirsky is less competent than Zaluzhny and so now would be a good time to promote the former. This would seem to be borne out by Sirksy's recent attacks on the flanks of Bakhmut, that produced minimal territorial gains but by some accounts led to the bloodiest single day of the war so far for the Ukrainians. However, arguing against that is the fact that Zaluzhny is/was somewhat of a rash, fanatic nationalist figure, who even if he does push back against plans for offensives sometimes, nevertheless has been responsible for the very battle of Bakhmut in the first place, which has so sapped Ukrainian manpower, and ordered the offensives in Kharkov and Kherson that got so many experienced Ukrainian troops killed for territory that didn't mean much. Sirsky meanwhile is older, and may prove to be more conservative in his war-fighting strategy, that would actually disadvantage Russia. Still though, I'd say it's quite a plausible explanation too.

D). The Russian political leadership figured that Zaluzhny was too much a darling of the US, too well connected to them, too committed to the current course and ideological in his nationalism - to ever be able to serve as anything more than a barrier to any sort of Russian end-game in the Ukraine, as much as Zelensky is himself. And that removing him may start to shift things around and potentially create an opening for Russia somehow. The least likely theory on its own IMO, as the question that inevitably follows on from it is "why now?", that we can't answer.. however it could serve as a contributing consideration to the decision to liquidate Zaluzhny at least.

More than likely, Ukrainian troops only recently occupied it.

"Hitting Russian railroads, fuel supplies"

Do they suppose they're fighting against Nazi Germany circa 1944, with its steel shortage and growing fuel crisis, which needed to run logistics networks by rail over thousands of kilometers of occupied territory?

mr_hd wrote:We are witnessing huge Ukrainian diplomatic offensive right now.
Zelensky was last week in Germany, Italy, France and UK. His wife was in S. Korea at the same time. Huge deals are made, not only for further supply of advanced weapons, trainings etc....

F*ck yeah, this is what I want to hear

Last thing anyone wants is those Russian bleeding heart sissies to pussy out and agree to peace just because they got emotional over ''poor innocent dead brotherly Ukrainians'' and pull the plug before they are done exterminating them

And you can bet your sweet ass that they are getting sentimental like emo pussies that they have been since forever

Kill everything, end of story

Assad's face during Zelensky's speech at the Arab League Apparently took off his earpiece too
