    The Russian military in Kiev have opened up a roadway and have told the civilians to get out.

    Kiev's mayor let it out that Kiev is totally surrounded.

    When asked about the membership of Ukraine in EU some officials in Bruxelles didn't even said it was a possibility when asked. They didn't answer the question.

    Germany will face the gas crisis.

    A part of MSM in west no one cares about ukrainians.

    3 rd world like they call it, have seen how racist ukrimainians are and don't give a shit about them and even support their killing.

    UAE and the rest of oil arab states didn't even condemn russian invasion.

    US officials aren't even talking about it directly.

    In 1 week no one will care about and they will settle it with a peace agreement and no nato membership and zelensky will end up like Sakaschvili and that dickhead in Armenia.

    France and Germany will be pissed off. Germany because of gas and France because it has 500 companies operating in Russia that will be sanctionned (Renault sell as much in Russia as in France around 500k cars, now it will be 0) and they will quickly remove those US pawbs in Bruxelles.

    So get realistic a little.

    The big winner in this is China, even the US admits it.

    You are in Russia. Let me ask you a question. The Western media here speak of mass mobilizations against Putin. I think they are exaggerating. How is everything there?
    Well... Warry, uneasy, but pretty calm, would be correct assessment of public opinion and action, I guess.
    Nobody particularly cheers for this war, sentiment of "brotherly nation" and all. But en mass, as I see it with my own interactions with people of much different backgrounds, everyone consider it as the point that was inevitable.

    As for mass protests I could not really tell. There are some. Not numbered in thousands, for sure, but the public opinion of them is pretty low - as of rich privileged kids with something to lose, which is most of the time is probably true. I`m myself have no idea - while this whole debacle was taking place I was bug-squishing various integrated systems at water processing facility at Kuz'molovo, earning an honest extraordinary buck. Clearing your mortgage in a year is still a thing in Russia, when you work hard enough on a project all others abandoned, you know.

    Business goes as usual, maybe with new addition of bitter jokes "lets strap MRLS on our truck and go to Ukraine, I heard they need volunteers?", "after watching news I gone on to watch a horror movie to calm down".
    Nobody expects nothing but hard times form this. But there's is no talk among people in small-middle business to insurrection of any sort. If anything, its the opposite - because Russians traditionally consider only themselves worthy of criticizing their state.

    Oh well, we'll see how this will turn down. Whole world order is in turmoil now with all interested parties making moves for what they want.
    Surely Chinese jinx "do live in interesting times" applies.

    Thanks my friend. Memory and history are important.
    Many young Russians did not live through the 90s and the misery they brought to Russia (intentionally). I guess the older ones do. That memory always has to be. Russia has the whole future ahead of it but for that we have to fight. I hope the West stops killing itself and understands it once and for all. You have to respect Russia.

    if russia was landing in mars with humans know ,it will have long lines of nations asking for cooperation in space..  having a president with very poor ambitions , is a national security problem.
    when the government of a country don't plan for the future , and modernize their business to achieve  complete independence from the west and from the asian puppets they control.

    It is partly true, national sports are important. Russia has an athletic population that deserves healthy recreation. In any case, the Russians and the Arabs are some of the financiers of the Western teams. What will they do without advertising revenue from Gazprom.

    sports are important.. you can simply do a park for children or things like that .. but from there ,
    to spend hundred of billions of american dollars in olympic avenues , and major cosmetic improvement of cities , none of that was necessary.. far more profitable for russia ,will have been to promote high tech business and space exploration , so that young generations are motivated to get
    academic degrees in science and engineering.. instead of wasting their time , punching a ball in a park.. or running faster.. swimming faster ,that even though is fun. it doesn't help the a country like russia to help them position better in the world .and influence it away from the western unfair system.

    when russia got many sanctions in 2014 , when they  liberated crimea from nazis..
    putin told.. something like this..



    It will be really bad for us for a short time.  later on, in the long run, it will give us the opportunity to breathe normally, build a self-sufficient economy,  


    Putin told that the sanctions will force russia ,to import substition of western products..
    but what have putin done since 2014 ? what import substition he achieved? oh yeah.. now they produce their own cheese.. and their own chickens and they export wheat.. and told all the billionaires to focus in food business. Rolling Eyes   shows how incredibly ignorant is putin.. because he
    was thinking that all the western business will be always available and open from russia.  

    for me is a good thing ,that russia is completely isolated from the western business..
    this is the only way putin will realize that need to stop developing russia as a gas station and need instead to modernize its business to replace those business that they will be banned .

    donald trump ,told.. any nation who wants to trade with us ,will need to obey our sanctions..
    this is business power /softpower in action.. is the most lethal weapon america have.. advanced business that very few nations have.. and if that wasn't enough , they control the compeition to their advanced business too.. the asian high tech puppet colonies.

    so any nation who wants development ,  have no choice ,but to follow the western system and their rules.  Because to follow a nation that only have to offer gas discounts ,food and nuclear reactors or weapons ,when they not facing war is NOT an option  for vast majority of developed nations.

    what life is teaching Russia is that they need to be independent , that they need to lead in the world in the most advanced business if wants to be taken ever seriously and interest respected.

    Universaid is still capable and brings a ton of money and investments. Kazan made a shit ton over it and it's nothing to do with the West. I think russia can work out a new football grouping with multiple countries. Look at the Africa cup. Brings in tons and limited to just Africa.

    Iran was allowed to be weakened , by the sanctions . They were stopped from developing a deterrent power , or to display it . Attacks made by USA , were hidden from the public . Excessive hope generated , regarding the benevolent nature of the West . The situation was allowed to deteriorate , to a level , where it affected the fighting spirit of the nation . When a nation is weakened by this type of politics , it looses the war , when it looses heart . Even if now , an attack takes place , they will surely hide the truth . Their reserves are depleted , their people fighting each other on the street , shooting each other , instead of the enemy . They have lost the capacity to defend themselves .

    Now Russia , I hope is different . That it will display and use deterrence power . That it will tell people of the attacks made on it , so the people can decide and organise . That Russia will not wait too long , and allow it's body and mind to be damaged so much , that it can not fight back ! It is best to strike back , when you are strong , when you can strike back ! A plane , ship or other enemy target ( NATO ) destroyed now , publicized , will confront them with the reality . Will break their spirit , before they get their hopes up ! Therefore better step on them now . Call it pre-emptive deterrence .

    About the last 20 seconds, thanks for reminding me we don't live in a world of 480p. I genuinely forgot HD video existed for a good while there.

    Also, as a flip to that, interesting just how far the Russian MoD is willing to go with blurring the footage of the targeting system. I'm assuming they have access to the footage, and the overlay as two separate layers, because they blasted the hell out of that footage with some static overlay effect, and downgraded the overlay to a lower quality.

    No they aren't. They are still being shelled. Hence why Russia is moving on behind them.  It's like as if you have no fucking clue strategies of cauldrons.

    And if the regime is Kiev stays, it still won't be safe. Hence why they are going after them as well.

    What the hell regime is Russia going to install in its place? And who will be suicidal enough to volunteer for the role?

    It's at the point where Russia has declared war against the entire Ukrainian people. Even pro-Russian Ukrainians are busy arming up.

    Sure we do, back to the DNR/LNR because this whole operation was a ridiculous idea in the first place.

    At the very least, Russia should avoid assaulting Kiev. WTF.
