The problem with reconciliation with Russia is that the west took it too far in this conflict, both in rhetoric, and action. Not only some of the most insulting things possible were said about Russians at the highest level, but then the west armed the ideological followers of the worst enemy in the Russian history, to where almost every Russian family still remembers and feels it, and allowed them to commit war crimes with impunity for years. If you think the Russians will forgive this one, if you think they will forget ... nope. This was a very bad idea, there will be consequences, the debt will be repaid.

Well said!

💯 you can feel the cold steal in the rib and back... bad bad neighbours, Im french national, I would hate to live nearby Polish, Baltics and Finns...can compute being in any sort of relations w/ these folk.

[@PhillyD-n9b]

btw Macron is crazy, but you dont see russophobia in France, like u see in the above mentioned coutries

[@Pythoner]

Putin will forgive everything. He's the KGB type, always thinks he's on top of everything, everyone can be turned, foes into friends, and so on.

[@RubbittTheBruise]

That is apart from the attempted assassinations of Putin.

[@jaykrungtheep3268]

Talking about EU leaders here: Its not just that they don't want to admit failure. They have basically connected their careers into this NATO crusade. If Ukraine looses, they will be political corpses, replaced by their opponents.

[@BrianParrish-ze6mx]

YOU MEAN THESE UNELECTED SCUMBAGS????

[@antonk6027]

Indeed, much like it is happening in the US already. I was quite surprised that Soros went down so fast.

[@TheAntsNest]

As always a concise but frank look at the current situation. I always appreciate the honesty & wish u both well, ty for sharing.

Zelenskyy military intelligence chief and incorrigible optimist Budanov said that Ukraine had only 6 months left before a total collapse. Currently we see a cumulative effect of an attrition strategy implemented by Russians. For a long time it seems nothing changes on the map, but then we see rapid collapse. "The main object of operations should not be the territory, but the enemy's army. If the army runs out, the territory will come by itself. " Helmut von Moltke Senior. This war proved once more that old Moltke was right. Zelenskyy troops in Pokrovsk area (Pokrovsk is a key logistical hub that Zelenskyy is about to lose) and further south, mostly consist of hapless cannon fodder kidnapped off the streets. They are totally disorganized and demoralized. Ukrainian army is ripe for collapse and Budanov gets it.

[@Grand_Edict]

So you’re saying the Russians face a real risk of running out of Flags to plant

[@cliffordnelson8454]

I remember Afghanistan where suddenly the government forces collapsed. Basically the same situation where there were certain elite units that were responsible for the durability of the government resistance, and once they were exhausted, Afghanistan government resistance just collapsed. This might be another case where when the elite units are exhausted the resistence will collapse.

Defensive belt built by NATO during the 8 year Minsk deception. The economist didn't support Ukraine but rather participated in using Ukraine to fight Russia acknowledging that it's destruction was likely. It wasn't only quantity of weapons Russia produced but their quality. The world has seen how American weapons were over hyped and over priced. European politicians walked willingly into Bidens war and now with a change in administration Washington is more interested in taking European industry, forcing Europe to buy expensive LNG, demanding greater payments for US protection and imposing across the board tarrifs. Well slap it up Europeans for voting these inept morons into power. Unemployment, deindustrialization, inflation, currency collapse and recession are the future. Europe will become a tourist destination, a giant Disney but without the rides.

[@coffeebreakcigarette7517]

Hopefully yes.

[@JasonBecraft-pp7bc]

👍👍👍

[@SkuliBragason-xc7jl]

I think it is very important that Russia liberates ALL Ukraine . There must not be a free Ukraine to threaten Russia again.

[@zaitcev0]

Kharkov is completely different from the fortress cities. It's bigger than Donetsk, so it serves to concentrate a very large number of troops. It's not going to be a cakewalk.

[@newhope33]

Problem is does the Ukraine have the strength left to even attempt to defend it, the lines are already showing the signs of collapse.

[@tonyp2865]

Just blockade it.

[@JasonSalmonsen-o7v]

They will first cut supply lines then outflank and encircle, i wouldn't be surprised if the Russian Army attacks from the south

[@alispeed5095]

Thats why the russians are slowly working on the sides. Once its surrounded, those numbers will become a liability. Basically like Avdeevka, that too had alot of troops, but once the encirclement completed, that was it.

sad news from usa: russian skaters and other nationals were on board jet which crashed following mid air collision with helicopter: “The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian figure skaters, as well as other Russian nationals, were also on the plane. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed to reporters Thursday that Russian figure skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who won the pairs title at the 1994 World Championships and competed at the Winter Olympics twice, were passengers. ‘Unfortunately, we see that this sad information is being confirmed. There were other fellow citizens there. Bad news today from Washington. We are sorry and send condolences to the families and friends who lost those of our fellow citizens who died in the plane crash,’ Peskov said.” - brian farrell reporting memory eternal 🕯️

What a god format. Congrats & Best wishes

[@TheRousler]

Once the fortified towns are taken it's clear to the Dnieper. Then its time for the south across to Transnistria.

Every new administration halts foreign aid funding when it crawls into office.

[@Gabriel-x3d2f]

I came here to say yes. They are slowly feeding reasons loss media.

[@rdallas81]

Trump will blame Biden.

[@Warren_Peace]

As he should.

[@ViceCoin]

Trump said, "Russia lost 1 million."

[@daveJohn-n4g]

try not to talk over each other please

[@SVOWarrior]

Ukrainian army is far from the collapse. They are as dogged as we are, because we are essentially the same people. At some point the frontline may start moving quickly, but they'll probably reconstitute their lines at some point. There are at least couple years of fighting ahead.

[@paullynn2512]

We are NOT the same people.

[@fetusdeletus5117]

Eh, I doubt that. The Ukrainians clearly do not have the morale or organizational ability to continue fighting at this scale for years. That being said, I doubt that all Ukrainians will lay down their weapons, there will probably be a guerilla/partisan campaign after it “ends.”

[@juliantheapostate8295]

They are certainly dogged, but they don't have the manpower or supplies anymore. Capitulation beckons

[@SVOWarrior]

@@paullynn2512 Probably not you. Or probably you're among these fooled people. The question, then - what are you doing on the channel of smart people?

[@liongordel9088]

😂😂😂😂 You are the same stuff Zalensky is snorting 😂😂😂
