too bad they won't, there is always the option to use thermobaric if they are so called losing. I think its a perfect time for Turkey to start advancing the FSA to Syria during this conflict while they are distracted.
I would take whatever stats the current Ukrainian government put up with more than a pinch of salt. Let him post. Don't corner a person when he is visibly desperate.
yes... If Israel has the right to defend itself (as we always hear nonstop) then why the heck not Russia or China?

My thoughts on the sanctions against Russia:
Some people think Putin miscalculated in invading Ukraine, and point to the sanctions as proof.
What this ignores is that so long as Russia depends on the European economy, the threat of those sanctions will always be there. The only way someone can accept this is to believe Russia should fall in line with the West.
Well, for those who believe Russia should be able to make is own decisions, such as Putin, those sanctions were going to come sooner or later. The only question was how well the Russian economy can weather it.
The problem with Russia is that it is still a capitalist country. Putin may be a popular and decisive leader, but he does not have the kind of control that would let him make fundamental changes to Russia's economy, like China does through is five-year plans.
So left alone, Russia was only going to grow MORE vulnerable to Western sanctions, not less.
With the US currently ratcheting up tensions with China, with the Chinese economy on fire compared to the rest of the world due to COVID, Putin likely saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

And we should thank Trump for the semiconductor sanctions too, lets not fool ourselves the US was always going to use that card, but had they not prematurely shown their hand they could have exploited it at a time when it would had have much larger scale devasting impact to China... the only option for China in tech is full stack self sufficiency
Dude,
I don't know and I don't care why you have such strong hatred against Putin, but can you please stop flooding the thread with your incessant malding?
At least try to bunch your tweets and videos in a single post so I don't have to keep scrolling past your verbal diarrhea.
I'm lurking here to get news, wether from russian or ukrainian side, not to listen to someone criticising a regime for days on end (even if the critics are legitimate).
Just give your opinion once in a while like any normal person would do and stop whining like a child.
