Have to agree with ferball and Mobbs that this is most likely about control of resources (wealth). (Sorry ferball though I can’t agree that we shouldn’t empathise and support a country because there are some, or even many, that don’t recognise a certain ethnicity).
Denazification can be spun by...
Remember the “feignt” (sorry my spelling is arse) on Kyiv. Yer Russia lost all that stuff on purpose so they could take over some villages on the east.
Russia will be weakened after this and I highly doubt their general society will be up for more expansionary fighting.
Do the deal with the current land occupations and Ukraine can join NATO, then Odessa is off the table.
And carn - you genuinely think that Russia are going to roll troops into...
With regards to the first point do you have any evidence that this is the current view of the Russian administration?
If the US went to Russia today, and said you can keep your land gains, Ukraine joins NATO, and Ukraine is forbidden from gaining access to nuclear or long range weapons - Putin...
I hope so. I don’t think (based on the past 12 months) Russia will break the back of Ukraine this year. Some of us on here have been fairly measured along the journey that this war will be and continue to be a grind. Some wins here and there for each side, but no major roll throughs. It...
What’s your answer then? More of the same? Keep sending arms to Ukraine so them and Russians keep dying, with the only beneficiary being weapons manufacturers.
Here are the options as I see them: -
1) keep arming Ukraine and eventually they will wear Russia down and expel them - how likely do...
It’s very hard to understand the truth on what is happening in this conflict on matters of Russias ability to sustain the war and Ukraines ability to eventually push Russia off Ukraine lands.
I’ve maintained a consistent line that there should be more negotiating and less bombing.
Has there been...
Yer that was one of those posts after hitting send that you say to yourself, hang on…
Anyways whilst I would prefer he was stitched up directly for that activity, swings and round about, karma, had it coming eventually I guess.
Sure, and I don’t want to defend the guy as it really means nothing to me. But drug dealers are causing real harm.
Who cares if some bank (overseas?) gave him a lower interest on a loan that he paid back, if anything shouldn’t the bank themselves be the ones aggrieved and be claiming the money...
Yer, it’s a bit of a mess. Seems like there was a fair amount of disagreement between the leaders of Crimea so understandable that people can form different opinions.
This provides a bit of an overview, mess really.

So Trump puts some mayo on the value of his assets to get favourable loan terms and he gets fined $350M, but bankers and hedge funds can crash an economy, consistently behave fraudulently, and constantly shuffle monies to their mates and get away with it.
Trump is an idiot and I sincerely hope...
Been a Todd Marshall fan since day one, but I think he needs a Lord. Todd is better as a creative second forward and that can move around a bit more than a Hawkins. Unless he becomes the Richmond Riewoldt (and even then they still brought in that other guy, geez my memory turns to poo after a...
And just to finish, do you honestly believe that Israel have at any stage said “how do we not kill innocent people”, honestly. Or do you think it’s been “let’s just kill whoever we like”.
Do you think you are some James Earl Gray voice of reason or something? You ain’t. Your posts just come across as justifying the “intentional” killing of civilians. Just so you know, there are people that read this thread and don’t post daily that don’t fall for your “oh but I think Israel...
Musk isn’t a politician or humanitarian, he is a businessman. His logic would be analogous to one of his business units not meeting target and shutting it down.
I actually don’t think Musk is some sort of Russian shill, he just operates with linear logic.
Well said. I have tried to imagine what it would be like to live in Israel and have an opposing group living next to me firing bombs. It must be frightful, particularly if you had children. This would no doubt lead me to resent that group, to despise them.
But I can’t jump that cognitive...
