    Any ideas? Seriously asking here

    It has been in the making for some time now, Russia and China have been getting increasingly assertive as of late (the explanation is very long) and the ultimatum was thrown just few weeks ago. The US just picked up that and gave their best answer, they used the occasion to finally dump Ukraine on Russia and finally grab Western Europe by the balls, well done to them but Russia had no good options, because provocations can be raised by US as high as they wanted, so Russia just could decide when and how to bait, but not to ignore them forever. They calculated now was the right time and they had time to do the right calculation, so let's see what comes out of their decision.

    Yeah, I'm here

    Apparently El Presidente managed to put together a statement that made both Russia and USA not only happy but are also giving us attaboys

    Fu*k if I know how they managed to do it (seems they are capable of pulling that off but giving teachers a pay raise is a tall order)

    I guess we skipped getting our balls stomped on for a while

    As I said earlier, one if the two Alex's on the Duran mentioned it. Said it was fore9gn backed poll and 5% were against. I believe he mentions it in third update. Too lazy to go back. I believe it was levada

    BTW, internet is still operational in Ukraine.  This is a way for Musk to rip Ukrainians off

    Was there poll for war? I thought 70% is current Putin's approval. I know Russians who oppose Putin, but support war and other way around? Russians unlike Americans, never supported interventions, but like blogger Anatoly Karlin said, no matter current sentiment, ALL people will love short and victorious war.

    Putins approval is at 66 or so %. The conflict is at 70%.  5% are against it.

    Alex the Greek on YouTube was talking about it. I think 3rd update video. Too lazy to go through it again.

    A plurality of Russians were for the LNR/DNR recognition according to one poll. A slim plurality - like 45 to 40. Another poll put the amount of Russians supporting that at a much higher level.

    How many Russians do you think are for all this shit going on?

    Putin is going to have to pull a bunny rabbit out the hat. Don't see how, but we'll see what happens.

    So according to Alex Christoforou (video linked by par far) who cites the US estimate, Russia is running this operation with less than
    50,000 men. That is surprisingly low. People cannot expect this number of soldiers to take over a country the size of Ukraine at a pace
    they want. The number of troops implies to me that Russia is expecting lots of local support. And we do have evidence that locals
    are feeding intel to the Russian forces. Of course, there are civilians who are not happy with the invasion.

    On the other hand, looks like they are doing just fine without. This is the sky over Kiev tonight. The Kiev leaders will be forced from their holes

    The biggest question of the decade. They've gamed the outcome and decided that the benefits outweigh the costs. How on earth they came to that conclusion is beyond me, which indicates there's something under the surface that we're not seeing. I would of said the Kremlin had contracted a terminal case of koolaid addiction if it wasn't for their excruciatingly measured approach to everything in the past 2 decades.

    SWIFT cut off has happened, so sanctions have gone as nuclear as they possibly can. We've transitioned from soft power wars to Cold War 2: Electric Boogaloo in the last 72+ hours. Oh well, GWOT was fun while it lasted, back to big boy fights now. PRC won't be sitting the sequel out, whether they like it or not. We might even get the 3rd installment to the World War trilogy yet

    Russian police have started special inspections of all vehicles coming out of Ukraine. Remember how Biden yapped about terrorism
    inside Russia. It is clear he was talking about NATzO proxy organized terror in Russia.

    If your Russian friends live in the West, then I guess they are only protecting themselves from being canceled ie losing their jobs by not commenting on the situation. In the college I am attending here in Canada, Pro-Ukrainian propaganda is being promoted by the school administration Rolling Eyes

    My question would be whether was there control of the whole Ukraine planned or only the  eastern part?  

    I mean Kiyev - Transdnistria line? And then years of organic work to denazify population. Even non nazi can be grown up with anitRussian propaganda sold as history. It would be hardest part...

    BTW  Check out Polish wiki about Azov battalion. Of Urko patriots. They forgot to update their code of arms and kept the one form 2014.
    https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu%C5%82k_%E2%80%9EAzow%E2%80%9D



    and now check SS  das Reich code of arms. Just coincidential.


    My guess is they will take the whole thing. Too dangerous to leave uncontrolled territory where opposition can rally. They will go right to the border and assume control of the border

    There are on both sides guerillas. As for pro Russians Donbass own army (was ~30k soldiers last years perhaps now is more) I just wonder how many was trained by Russians/pro-Russians inside of Ukraine.

    But here is one: https://time.news/amd-and-intel-have-suspended-deliveries-of-their-products-to-russia-rbc/

    It is pointless tough, how are you going to stop the global sales from reaching Russia?. put an embargo all around russia's borders?.

    Also, again the west is messing with things they should not even thinking of touching.
    Taiwan...are you voluntarily making yourself the NR1 strategic target?.  lol1

    Im sure thet chances were carefully examined by Russian govt before repelling Ukro aggression.

    The Chinese are not ready to take over Taiwan. Not by a long shot. And they're also deluded if they think the Taiwanese elite will relinquish sovereign power to them, peacefully.

    China played their cards right and they were very smart to get to where they're today. With that said, they're a hobo nation, in the sense that they don't command allegiance structures, nor have the expertise, nor have shown the willingness to engage in bloc confrontation and how those are managed, and fought over.

    Problem is, the empire controls a big fat bloc and will confront it with this big fat bloc. They can't escape from it, just like Russia can't.

    I found these requests by Saker commendable:

    - Stop asking me to debunk western or Ukie sources
    - Stop posting link to the Zona A media, corporate or social, in the comments section
    - If you “feel sorry but…” or “have your doubts about…”, then please keep them for yourself for at least the next 24 hours (36 would be better)
    - And if you have any love, care or respect for your own brain and neurons, STOP listening to the Zone A media. Be kind to yourself, or prepare to look stupid once you open your mouth.

    Thank you Rolling Eyes

    This is why the police and army will need to be Ukrainian. And why the Russians will dangle an election and self determination in the future for Ukraine. The police and army will get big raises to stay. The biggest mistake the US made with Iraq was debaathifciation. I hope Russia does not make this same mistake. Maybe a truth and reconciliation process to clear up the facts around the Ukrainian famine. It was clearly Stalins fault so there is no downside to pinning it on him. Everyone suffered under him

    It was claimed already after first night. Supposedly when Russia took over the airport where it is located.
    I doubt it. But Could be the kievans have destroyed it or will try. Scorched earth tactics.
