Russia and Ukraine

Hot damn, I wonder how The Great Western Satan made them do all that?

Just another example of Putin's three-dimensional chess prowess.

Damned good one, too. Turned all the military age males in russia into newts - forcing them to conscript ukranian children in the occupied areas.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.

The hits just keep coming.

Putin 2022 - If Ukraine gets into nato there will be nuclear war.
Putin 2024 - Wont object to ukraine joining NATO but we're not giving the land back. Dipshit actually babbled about russia granting ukraine security guarantees. They're not even trying anymore.

Additionally, chicken products have begun to disappear from russian supermarket shelves. The official explanation is inclement weather causing transportation disruptions. Must be some pretty big storms in ukraine.

On Putin's domestic survival:




I certainly agree with the author. I have personally experienced how quickly a revolution can take hold. The question is how well-resourced are the FSB and Rosgvardia.

So, what are the odds of Putin having a possible protest from any of his people crushed and quelled, given that he has lost many army soldiers in his little war in Ukraine and how poorly he is doing with his war on Ukraine, let alone his poor leadership?

It really depends on how well-resourced his domestic security organizations (FSB, RG, as mentioned above) with both humint and sigint, not to mention resources for analytics and force-application. And though Putin's leadership of the war is certainly shoddy, he's an old spook. I bet his response to internal dissent will likely be more competent, assuming he remains a sound mind.

Thanks for the explanation. While Putin and his forces may be tough, I do not think he will go unopposed for long, however that ends up.

If they were tough they could win - but they can't. What they can do is bitch like basement dwelling tweens about all of the reasons they're losing. I don't have the same view or hopes of putin being deposed. He wont be - see again how russian culture has been reduced to mewling children. They can't get rid of him just like they cant get rid of zelensky. It just doesn't matter. On the other end, maybe they start to think they should get rid of putin and pick someone who...they think... really can beat the shit out of ukraine. Whoever they pick won't be able to do that either. It will be another fantasy about another ridiculous father figure. Like..you know..maybe bad dad couldn't do it, but good dads definitely going to get me that pony! Bullshit. Ponies are too expensive and neither dad was ever going to get you one.

Russia has lost this war, the only thing that might change is how many ukranians die until russians accept their shame.
