The Situation in the Ukraine. #20

economy of Ukraine is slowly collapsing.   Unless NATO wants to prop up the whole of Ukraine, it will be supporting the losing side.

The current sanctions war against Russia is an obvious link to what I state above.   But Russia is too big to fail with such lame
attacks.   The official GDP figures do not properly convey Russia's strength.   Germany and Japan would fold with such attacks
but supposedly they are more economically powerful.

3 battles for Kharkov in WW2, hundreds of thousands of Red Army dead.

And now some fascist apes run around the city and beat people wearing Soviet symbology. They don't even speak Russian, they are imported banderovite scum.

The city has been overtaken by the Unclean, and should be purged with fire.

But on second thoughts, why bother.

I don't blame the Nazis, they're just doing what Nazis do best, can't blame an animal, even a banderovite one, for acting according to its instincts.
Who I really blame are the Kharkov population, the same ones whose ancestors died to free the city from the Nazis.
If their ancestors saw them now, if they could only see them now - they would spit on them; and so would I.
Cowards, the lot of them. Working at the factories, building T-64s for the Great Hohol Army, probably being forced to scream 'Slava Ukraine!' so much now that they've accepted the slogan as their very own. They've willingly become brainwashed into Ukr propaganda by now, justifying their collaboration with their new found faux patriotism and artifical hatred against their 'sep' neighbours in the Donbass who had the balls to stand up and fight while they didn't. In their hearts they know it is a lie, but they cling to it anyway; the alternative is to face the truth - that they are cowards, and a disgrace to their forebears. They can't face it, the mirror stares back at them, and it shames them.

And some people think that the VSN should sacrifice their men to liberate someone. They made their choice - let them rot

Quite a harsh thing to say. I do agree with you on some points however. Kharkov has and still is a Russian city, that won't change soon (unless concentration camps start popping up and I would not be surprised if they did now). Don't think that all the residents shouting "Heil Hitler" "Slava Ukrainia" are all locals now brainwashed. Many residents are now in positions where they can't get out without endangering their families and friends. Life there is still hard and if they do something out of the party line it could get a lot worse for them personally.

Harsh?

You should have seen the post that I nearly made, about giving the NAF chemical munitions for its artillery.

Now that was harsh.
But I can't in good conscience recommend it - not so much out of any feelings of compassion for the Hohol shit army (although I don't think they all deserve it), but more because they can do the same thing back, and against cities too.

What is funny is that Germany's strongest time, in terms of military and influence, was when it was sanctioned by nearly the world, its economy was in shatters, and they re-orientated towards domestic development and a form of Autarky.  That was Nazi Germany.  Funny, that in its hardest times economically, it was its military and technical strongest.  Seems that is what is happening to Russia.  They are re-orientating their economy.  Expanding Russian companies abroad, building new relations with old partners from Asia, Latin America to Africa.  And now re-orientating its economy to domestic as most are speculating.

Now that isn't harsh and a rather good idea in my opinion. The residents of Kharkov, Mariupol and other Hohol occupied towns don't deserve to burn. I can't say the same for the Ukrop forces, at this point they deserve the harshest way to go. Thankfully, chemical munitions do that to you and it be an excellent way to get rid of Russia's chemical stocks.

I'm not saying they deserve to burn, I'm saying they deserve the government they have. If they're not willing to resist against even the most blatant oppression, who can help them and why should anyone?

To me it is possible they are contrails, but could easily just be a cloud pattern. That was a few hours ago and I ignored it. But now it is reported that five Russian fighters have flown over Schastye. I have no idea if this is true and would not report either incident in isolation, but together on the same morning causes more attention to be paid.

I'm also curious about the next weeks. What exactly is going to happen to the massive Ukrainian force on the frontline. They are there for something and there are probably many nationalists among them. Poroshenko postponing or cancelling the offensive is not going to be a popular move with the army IMHO.
