War In Ukraine

I think the point is that previous Proxy Wars would have led smart people in Russia to concede that annexing a country the size of Ukraine is a pointless and costly exercise. 

 

I doubt they want the whole thing for that reason. But they do want a Moscow friendly government there which makes sense. NATO broke an old rule about spheres of influence that the Big Three ironically created...shattering not only the post-Cold War environment, but WW2's in sympathy. Well, there goes the neighborhood...

Russia no longer has full control of any of four ‘annexed’ Ukrainian provinces

Kyiv’s troops advanced in southern Kherson province and made additional gains in east

 

 

Russia no longer has full control of any of the four provinces of Ukraine it says it annexed last week after Ukrainian troops reportedly advanced dozens of kilometres in Kherson province in the south of the country and made additional gains in the east.

On Monday, the Russian military acknowledged that Kyiv’s forces had broken through in the Kherson region. It said the Ukrainian army and its “superior tank units” had managed to “penetrate the depths of our defence” around the villages of Zoltaya Balka and Alexsandrovka.

If they want a Moscow friendly government, stop annexing chunks of their country. I'm sure Ukraine isn't happy with a hostile country next door.

That's Ukraine's problem. Not yours. But you seem pretty sure that victory is just around the corner...so what's to worry?

Actually it is our problem for the same kind of reasons Hitler invading Poland was our problem. Yes, it looks like Ukraine is going to "win" at the cost of the destruction of half their country. Whether Ukraine joins NATO or not, Russia has guaranteed a country on its border who's people will now hate their guts for centuries.

Not to mention, two brand new NATO members.

That's a possible result.

There are other possible results on the table...I notice.

Not really, Ukrainians are going to hate Russian guts regardless of what happens.

 

Yes...really.

As I understand it, the Russians inside Ukrainian borders have similar complaints re: their treatment at the hands of the Ukraine Army since the war's actual start years ago. Thus they want to be part of Russia.

They'll all figure it out if we let them. Less casualties if they do it. But NATO has their bio-lab interests not to mention all the money laundering via the corrupt Ukrainian government...so it's tough seeing them letting go. In for a penny...in for a pound as they say.

Key inflections in ongoing military operations on October 2 via Institute for the Study of War: 

  • Ukrainian forces continued to liberate settlements east and northeast of Lyman and have liberated Torske in Donetsk Oblast. Russian sources claimed that Russian forces withdrew from their positions northeast of Lyman, likely to positions around Kreminna and along the R66 Svatove-Kreminna highway.
  • Ukrainian forces continued to advance on settlements east of Kupyansk and liberated Kisharivka in Kharkiv Oblast.
  • Russian forces continued to launch unsuccessful assaults around Bakhmut, Vyimka, and Avdiivka.
  • Ukrainian forces resumed counteroffensives in northern Kherson Oblast and have secured positions in Zolota Balka and Khreshchenivka. Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces also liberated Shevchekivka and Lyubymivka, pushing Russian forces to new defensive positions around Mykailivka.
  • Russian forces continued to target Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv Oblast with Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones.
  • Russian State Duma MPs withdrew a law that would have given mobilized men a one-time payment of 300,000 rubles (about $4,980) and other benefits, without providing a reason for their decision. Ukrainian military officials stated that Russian forces are forming a motorized rifle division with mobilized men from Crimea, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Adygea.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a draft law to the State Duma on admitting the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, and Zaporizhia and Kherson Oblasts, to the Russian Federation.

NATO has sent an intelligence note to member countries warning of the mobilization of the Russian nuclear submarine K-329 Belgorod, which carries the Poseidon nuclear missile, also known as the "weapon of the apocalypse". The US is unable to monitor the activation of torpedoes underwater.

You're back. Now threatening the use of SLBM's and nuclear torpedos. All over little Ukraine.

 You smell of desperation.

The problem is that the West is ruled by Satanic US Khazarian globalists. History teaches us that at the end Russia will defeat hysterical Anglo-Khazarian Satan. Thank you on behalf of many sane-minded common sense thinking people around the world for standing up for your people and not bowing to the insanity that has overtaken the West.
The end result is what counts.

Were Jesus and Mary looking down when Putin had all those people thrown out of high rise windows, can you answer that?

The World Putin Wants

How Distortions About the Past Feed Delusions About the Future

By Fiona Hill and Angela Stent

September/October 2022
 

He laid out this mission in a 5,000-word treatise, published in July 2021, entitled, “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians.” In it, Putin insisted that Belarusians, Russians, and Ukrainians are all descendants of the Rus, an ancient people who settled the lands between the Black and Baltic Seas. He asserted that they are bound together by a common territory and languageand the Orthodox Christian faith. In his version of history, Ukraine has never been sovereign, except for a few historical interludes when it tried—and failed—to become an independent state. Putin wrote that “Russia was robbed” of core territory when the Bolsheviks created the Soviet Union in 1922 and established a Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. In his telling, since the Soviet collapse, the West has used Ukraine as a platform to threaten Russia, and it has supported the rise of “neo-Nazis” there. Putin’s essay, which every soldier sent to Ukraine is supposed to carry, ends by asserting that Ukraine can only be sovereign in partnership with Russia. “We are one people,” Putin declares.

This treatise, and similar public statements, make clear that Putin wants a world whereRussia presides over a new Slavic unioncomposed of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, andperhaps the northern part of Kazakhstan (which is heavily Slavic)—and where all the other post-Soviet states recognize Russia’s suzerainty. He also wants the West and the global South to accept Russia’s predominant regional role in Eurasia. This is more than a sphere of influence; it is a sphere of control, with a mixture of outright territorial reintegration of some places and dominance in the security, political, and economic spheres of others.

 

The Russian president has made it clear that his country is a revisionist power. In a March 2014 speech marking Crimea’s annexation, Putin put the West on notice that Russia was on the offensive in staking out its regional claims. To make this task easier, Putin later took steps that he believed would sanction-proof the Russian economy by reducing its exposure to the United States and Europe, including pushing for the domestic production of critical goods. He stepped up repression, conducting targeted assassinations and imprisoning opponents. He carried out disinformation operations and engaged in efforts to bribe and blackmail politiciansabroad. Putin has constantly adapted his tactics to mitigate Western responses—to the point that on the eve of his invasion, as Russian troops massed on Ukraine’s borders, he bragged to some European interlocutors that he had “bought the West.” There was nothing, he thought, that the United States or Europe could do to constrain him.

Vlad the King has 1 international fan it seems, North Korea. 

North Korea came in full support of the "referundums": 😂

"We respect the will of the residents who wanted to be reunited with Russia and we support the position of the Russian government to make these regions part of the country. The referendums were held in accordance with the UN Charter, which enshrines the principles of people's equality and their right to self-determination, in accordance with legitimate procedures that made it possible to reflect the will of the residents of the two republics and two regions," according to a statement from the North Korean Ministry of Foreign in which Jo Chol Su, head of the Department for International Organizations, is quoted.

ISW analysis: Putin prepares to scapegoat Shoigu for Russian military failures in Ukraine

"Putin postponed the mobilization of all students, including part-time students and master's students, through a decree signed on Wednesday.

Putin told Russian agencies that since "the Ministry of Defense did not make timely changes to the legal framework regarding the list of those who are not subject to mobilization, adjustments must be made."

This direct criticism of the Ministry of Defense is also an implicit criticism of Shoigu, whom Putin appears to be grooming to blame for the failures of Putin's invasion of Ukraine.\

The chairman of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee, Colonel-General (retired) Andrey Kartapolov, also criticized the Ministry of Defense on Russian state television on October 5.

Kartapolov said that all Russians know that the Ministry of Defense is "lying" and that it must stop, but that the message is not reaching "individual leaders", another blow to Shoigu.

A Russian military blogger said that Kartapolov's comments proved that Shoigu would soon be "demolished" and "recognized as the main culprit" of Russia's military failures."
