Nationalist Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 36 minutes ago, Perspektiv said: Its called chess. This is a chess move. War is a calculated game of chess. Russia has miscalculated throughout the conflict, and are prepared to go as far as they can, to save face. Russia is using the only leverage it has, albeit highly illegal, to force Ukraine and NATO at the negotiation table, or worse, to wave white flags which I don't see happening for the latter. This would cause the US to lose face to Russia, which would be unnacceptable to them. Like I have said before. This is a d*** measuring contest. Ukraine put king sized balls on the table. Paid for it, but has put Russia on notice. Russia is saying "we didn't have Viagra handy last time we measured" and the US, is acting as if it was petrified of making a mistake, which Putin is picking on. They don't have any balls on the table, and will need to bring them sooner or later. They're otherwise that guy at the club that keeps mentioning they will f*** you up asking their friends to hold them back, while moving away from you. They have committed so many war crimes that this being the basis of advancing, would be ridiculous. If there is a refusal from Russia to budge, you are contemplating military conflict with a military armed with nuclear war heads in the thousands as a sound option. This is not an option that belongs on the table. You force a country likely bluffing on the global stage and put them in a position where they have to consider suicidal moves vs losing face. You have very good instincts on this. And yes, this has devolved into a d*** measuring contest. None of this situation or the history behind it all is what we could call "good". The basic problem Ukraine and NATO have always had is attrition. Ukraine cannot beat the Russian forces without direct NATO forces in the battle. That's been obvious since before this chickenshit started. Thus the outcome has always been inevitable. Yet...NATO, the EU and the USA all figure this is worth dragging on as long as possible. I would propose that, with the blind-assed acceptance of anything the MSM tells them, they cut a deal that half-saves everyone's face. Except Old Joe's who's face is going to get smeared...even more. Meh...a fool's errand executed by fools. What the hell can be expected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristides Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Of course NATO could block Russian access to the Baltic in retaliation. Putin's hand isn't that strong if he wants to escalate on sea. Russia's access to the worlds oceans could be limited to the Arctic and Pacific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's controlling Bakhmut again? Who controls the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant again? Who's electrical infrastructure has been devastated again? I know you'd love to see Russia get a sound spanking, and maybe that's what Putin needs to finally leave politics. But in this instance one side has always held the decisive advantage and that side has never been Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird you'd use that to spike the football. You're just a Putin Cheerleader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspektiv Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 28 minutes ago, Boges said: How many lives were lost taking the strategically insignificant Bakhmut? Both sides took heavy losses. It was a killing field. Many buildings were leveled. Not much cover. Easy pickings ambushes. The west only showed heavy Russian losses, but many solders on both sides recorded video. I have seen plenty of video. I don't trust the news. It was a killing field. Show the true scale, and people would demand a stop to the war. Doesn't fit the narrative, that Russia is being trunced and humiliated and is the only side taking heavy losses. Ukraine is winning. While no responsible news have outright said this, what they show heavily insinuates it. 1 hour ago, Boges said: Ukraine has beaten Russia in battle in just about every instance since the Summer of 2022. This is what happens when exposed to media, and not the stark reality. 2 hours ago, Aristides said: Of course NATO could block Russian access to the Baltic in retaliation. And escalate tensions vs diffuse. Ratcheting up tensions, elevates stakes and essentially dares Russia to start a global conflict, dragging in China and others into the mix. This puts more pressure on the US to stop than it would on Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when you decide what you want to believe first, and only trust the things that say that. Western media did plenty of reporting in the initial months of the invasion where Russia was taking large swathes of territory. That stopped happening by the summer of 2022, and Russia has done nothing but lose net territory ever since. Even discontented Russian generals are confirming western sources. 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspektiv Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 (edited) 2 hours ago, Nationalist said: And who controls it? The narrative must be Ukraine winning. Remember Afghanistan? That was a success. No service dogs were left behind. Just billions in deadly equipment. Of course, disabled equipment, as leaving fully functional equipment would be silly. Truth be told, in a perfect world, there would never have been an invasion. Reality of the matter, is Russia holds the bulk of the region and both have their propaganda machines in full flight, to spare damaged egos. Trusting the news during war, is like trusting the wife when she tells you sharply, that she's "fine".

Aristides Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 On 7/22/2023 at 4:52 AM, Contrarian said: The Russian ambassador to Poland was called "urgently" to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Saturday, following Vladimir Putin's threatening statements on Friday, described as "provocative" by Warsaw, reports AFP. On Friday evening, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki tweeted back at Putin, repeating that "Stalin was a war criminal, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Poles" during and after World War II. According to Jablonski, it is "an attempt to rehabilitate the war criminal who was Stalin by another war criminal who is Putin today."

Nationalist Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 1 hour ago, Aristides said: Will you change your tune Putin fan boy? Why would I? From the beginning of this I've said 2 things. 1. NATO needs to stay out of this. 2. Ukraine and MSM insistence that Ukraine can and will defeat Russia and take back the eastern regions, was folly. On point 1, NATO poured billions into Ukraine and have not effected any victory. All they've done is drain our own military stores and increased our debt. On point 2 it looks like I was and remain...correct. Reality. It can be uncomfortable when one tries to deny it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked for elaboration, and was told it was a mix between humble pie and a steady dose of reality. I pressed for a closer ingredient list, and was told I had to taste it myself, to truly know. I responded that I wouldn't be eating any ass. Ever. Then they laughed and replied: "that's the beauty of it. You don't like eating ass...don't.". Then I thought to myself, that was the most awkward conversation I have ever had while pressing the talk button to talk to the gas station attendant from the pump o_O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
