after 9 years of illegal deadly attacks by kiev nazis on donbass, the only ‘achievement’ of this belated rus smo is to have doubled the monthly casualty rate among innocent donbass civilians. still no sign of ukr daily aggression being brought to an end, as promised by rus at the outset. syria has also long suffered under rus’s half-assed usa-appeasing tactics. result: assad is now talking to china. can you blame him?
like always predicted, chechen fake president ramsan kadyrov will not survive this war in ukraine. eighter because us will secretely drone bomb him to death or get rid of him in another way. now news is out that he died on sept 17th in moscow special hospital.
yes, it is not confirmed so far, but things are developing.
f.t.a.o.d. i remain pro-smo, pro-donbass/crimea, anti-ukranazi, anti-nato and anti-usa hegemony.
my criticisms of the moribund smo arise from its failure to have crushed ukr nazis, 100% secure donbass/black sea and face down the idiotic us neocons and their corporate paymasters.
if all rus forces fought/thought like chehnyans, the conflict would have been won in 6 months.
you have all the attributes of a 77 brigade piece of shit.
you have all the attributes of a pillock, or a real 77th shit stirrer. rus should have wrapped this up in months, but was out bluffed by z’s intent to re-take crimea and the fear of provoking the usa. instead of securing donbass / dnieper / odessa, rus went on the defensive and invited the counter offensive. usa media shills praise rus ‘strength’ to deflect from the deaths of donbass civilians by kiev nazis. rus needs a kick up the ass, not a pat on the head.
it now looks like ukraine will make some gains on the battlefield. enough to go into winter and have arguments for continued nato-support. at the same time, russian civilians are being hit. for a lot of people it may look like russia, or really putin this time, is unwilling or unable to protect his people. this is a dangerous situation.
so far, stabilisation of the front, ramping up production and conscriptng went well for r. however, it feels increasingly like putin is to hesitant and misses a decisive opportunity.
the momentum is there, the preparations too. what is russia waiting for? yes, the war of attrition has worked but it soon won‘t. the ukros aren‘t as stupid as some wd have it, they adapt – and they will not surrender. to actually win, putin needs to „den sack zumachen“, as they say in german. it wd a catastrophy if this golden opportunity wd be lost.
agreed. the nato media psy-op has used ‘experts’ to continually praise rus, encourage complacency and distort reality; while the smo loses focus. along the way wagner mutinied, killed rus servicemen, but was forgiven – wtf? what’s the rus plan now other than preventing the very ukr counter-off that its dithering enabled? so, crimea might be relatively safe, but donbass, zaporozhye etc are not. but here in sf, rus forces and politicians can do no wrong.
