Russia and Ukraine

[Thumpalumpacus]

The Ukrainians are also advancing down the east bank of the river. I'd imagine that Russian artillery is going to be pretty busy fighting off that drive.

Listen, and understand. The Ukrainian forces are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are back the fuck over the RF border.

Kid, you're preaching to the choir.

I see Bel is still rooting for the team of "Muslim theocracy not giving a damn about freedom of its women", "Dictatorship not giving a damn about the freedom of other nations" and "Dictatorship not giving a damn about the freedom of its own people".

Such noble nations, representing such noble causes.

Banksy goes to Ukraine



In the piece, a female gymnast can be seen balancing on her hands on rubble at the bottom of a an apartment building, which has been completely gutted by Russian shelling.

One mural depicted a man resembling Russian President Vladimir Putin being flipped during a judo match with a little boy.

Another showed two children using a metal tank trap as a seesaw, while a separate piece in nearby Irpin showed a rhythmic gymnast waving a ribbon while wearing a neck brace.

According to Wikipedia, Russia has 5,977 nuclear warheads. And of course modern ones are more powerful than the ones they had during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

God knows how many of those are functional considering the state of other Russian equipment 

Remember that Kennedy convinced Russia to stand down by standing down US missiles in Turkey. The USSR didn't want enemy missiles so close, just as the USA didn't want them in Cuba. 

Yup which is irrelevant really 

Nearby nukes are considered a provocation. Fortunately, both Sweden and Finland have announced that even if they join NATO they will not accept nukes being based in their countries.

So Russia's justifications are even weaker then 

Still, I believe they must go and become fuel for our clean energy transition.
 
China, India, Israel, that’s fine. Pakistan doesn’t look too dangerous for now. But Russia no. Not because they are not a democracy. They are too unstable. What if he decides to sell those weapons to some nations. (Who can say he wouldn’t do that?).
 
So I think they must go or be greatly diminished after this war.

No one can say they got suddenly angry for no reason

I’m happy that the denazification of Kherson has been completed.

I don't know much, so a question: does Russia still have access to the nuclear weapons as it did back when Kennedy convinced them to stand down?

I’m not going to discuss the content of this message. Instead I’m going to show you the last declarations that were made by his excellency of the Bosphorus:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/turkey-seeks-...05508.html
 
The respectable gentleman just said that: “The West, and especially the U.S., is attacking Russia seemingly endlessly,” and that “We are working on how to create a peace corridor here, like we had the grain corridor. We think the best way for this is a path from dialogue to peace”
 
And here is another link on the credulity of this second declaration:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/turkish-prose...05693.html
 
The most renowned person just passed an unconstitutional “Disinformation Law” that leave huge rooms of maneuver of any court to make totally arbitrary decisions on persons who are taken to court because of this new legislation. All legal experts are affirming that this “Law” isn’t really a law that bears the typical characteristics of an ordinary law in any type of real jurisdiction. It is a technical error all by itself. And now the most pious man among the most pious men is trying to use it against someone called Ekrem Imamoglu who is the Major of Istanbul and a potential rival to the AK Party in the general election of July (which is said to be another desperate attempt by the “ruler” to show his might to the public, which is not likely to works because it is likely to mobilize even more people against his ideology).
 
I just shared these messages so that you know that I know how authoritarian leaders operate and how they use the tool of false information, lies, disinformation, false moves and all types of deception by every mean that is available to them in order to be able to fool the entire population (themselves included) to impose their own twisted ideology.

And here is the third stupidity in one day:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/erdogan-says-...37904.html
 
The one with the most beautiful moustache on earth just said:
“Turkey's effort to complete its purchase of F-16 jets would be "much easier" if Republicans end up controlling the U.S. Senate,”
 
Reality: Turkey was part of the F-35 next generation fighter jet program and some vital components of these planes were produced in this country. But the one who looks so fine bought outdated S-300 missile defense systems from Russia (who are not even being used because they are not even compatible with an army with NATO standards like the Turkish Army). The S-300 will not be used anytime soon and are just sitting in a military depot somewhere.
 
   For this we were kicked out of the F-35 program. Our Airforce will be even weaker than several Middle-eastern countries like Egypt who are acquiring French Mirage fighter jets. And now he is begging the US for F-16’s who will become obsolete in 10-20 years.
 
So when I say “I know how such systems or such people operate” believe me, I do.
