Prigozhin is running out of time. Yesterday he publicly insulted and criticized Putin in a video. Considering that he has political aspirations its a death sentence. He either needs to take Putin's place by a coup or hide. One of the two aren't going to live much longer.
The most terrble Holodomor was in the Polish-controlled regions of Ukraine.
As they say: " The True Ukrainians should live in Canada". "If they don't want to live in Russia - they can easily leave it". And absolute majority of those who live in Ukraine will continue their life in Russia.
5 MILLION people have fled Ukraine when Russia attacked February of '22 and are now living in Poland....what do you think? That they are so welcoming of Russia?
You see, if one calculates the problem, not just declares an answer, he won't agree with your wishful-thinking position.
Actually, all parties concerned understand that there are plenty of scenarios, some of which ended by Russian victory.
Ummmmm
Two million of ex-Ukrainian citizens became Russian citizens in Crimea. Almost 7 million are becoming Russian citizens in Novorossia right now. There were 3,8 million working migrants from Ukraine before 2022, and one or two millions came from Ukraine in 2022.
Half of million? Not too much against a nuclear capable superpower.
Man, the most serious problem about CIA is it's incompetence. They really don't care about reality. The situation was quite bad before and during invasion in Iraq, and now it's simply terrible. Total degradation. Those soya boys and girls, raised in the years of a long peace just don't know what is their job about. They couldn't find their own ass even with a map, torch, GPS-navigator and a sat-com.
I know that YOU hope you are right.....
It depends. Sure, that there is a risk of that, but they consider that the risks of NATO-occupied Ukraine are much more serious. Therefore, if there is a choice - "To start a nuclear war against the USA" or "To allow NATO occupy Ukraine", the first option is much more safe for them.
Actually, it wasn't absolutely true even forty years ago, and now, with all those electronic things it's not true at all. In fact, Russian Sineva and Bulava warheads never missed their targeting points for more than 7 meters (21 feet) and it's more than enough for a 100 kt warhead. In "realistic" scenarios they usually count it as a 90% single-hit probability, which, with two warheads for a silo, means that there will be only four survived Minutemen, all of them without immediate capability to launch.
Non of those ideas are mine.
Oh please, this is total nonsense.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
The problem of this conflict, is that the Jews are divided too. The only Jewish fraction that almost unconditionally supports Zelenskiy is Chabad. The secular Jews are more prone to support Moscow and do not support Ukrainian Neo-Nazies.
Man, the Russians started their Special Military Operation because they thought the open conflict (however escalated) is much more safe than waiting for Ukrainian attack against Donbass, WMD-production or joining NATO.Oh please, this is total nonsense.
You get beat with the stupid stick or something?
Sorry, that's a crock of shit. Russia invaded because Putin saw an opportunity. He knows Biden is weak, and he thought the west would be divided on supporting Ukraine. And he thought he would present a fait accompli before anyone had a chance to react.
My, and the Ukrainian's fear is that the mandatory evacuations AKA forced internment in Russian Gulags of Donbas and Crimean citizens (children go to "re-education" centers for programming) is going to destroy the culture of these places and the loss of people is going to be catastrophic.
You are still talking about territory, not about people.
No. Ukraine won't survive even few weeks without Western support.
The question is not about formalities. The question is about real cooperation. And, de facto, Ukraine became a member of NATO.
The problem is, that this conflict also solidified the Shanghai block cooperation.
Man, the culture of those places is Russian, and always have been. Actually, the Russians consider Ukrainian culture as a part of the Russian culture.
Your table comes from a study by
As always, nothing but bullshit in your post. The tables you are showing come from a computer simulation by a group of anti war scientists who put together a computer simulation based on current arsenals which shows European Russia, in which 75% if the Russian population lives, would be virtually obliterated, meaning that the Russian losses from the initial exchanges would certainly number in the tens of millions, perhaps as high as 70 million, and that would be only the deaths that resulted from the explosions and many more Russians would die from radiation, starvation and disease in the ruins of European Russia during the humanitarian crisis that would follow.

No one is predicting a Russian victory except creepy propagandists like yourself.
That's why Russia is bombing Ukraine to rubble and then firebombing the rubble, and has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians? Because they are the same "culture"?
