Think they were saying it was a hack.Russia say 10k troops have died. If that's the number they are giving you can bet the real number is much higher.
The Soviets lost 14k men in the Afghan war in 10 years.
10k in one month is just crazy and is not sustainable

WowI have heard twice that 86% of Russians believe Putin is doing the right thing for Russia - that is some serious shit believing
Nagasaki wasn't in the least strategic.The argument - which I’m not even arguing myself here, nor do you have to agree with it - is that the atomic bombs forced a Japanese surrender, which prevented a much more deadly and protracted conflict.
As horrendous as the atomic bombings were, at least they were done for strategic military reasons, which can’t be said for the Holocaust. The only real strategy there was to eradicate a race of people.
Wasn’t Nagasaki the target because it was relatively untouched from previous bombing and the US wanted to demonstrate beyond doubt the power of a single nuclear bomb to Japan and also themselves.Nagasaki wasn't in the least strategic.

On the Nazi thing, I heard (not sure how true it is), that Russian soldiers are writing "onwards to Poland" on their rifles.I have heard twice that 86% of Russians believe Putin is doing the right thing for Russia - that is some serious shit believing
I worry about what happens when every Ukrainian town/ city has been given the Mariupol treatment.On the Nazi thing, I heard (not sure how true it is), that Russian soldiers are writing "onwards to Poland" on their rifles.

I think if the most westerly cities are completely flattened and there is an influx of more Russian soldiers from Russia/ belorrus/Crimea then we must assume the worst.
For the life of me I cannot envisage a point at which Putin says to himself "job done"

I saw an interview with a pollster a couple of weeks ago who basically said at the best of times you ignore any polling done in Russia as its all state run and is completely meaningless.Bit hard to get reliable data when you get carted off to the gulag unless you say you support the war. The polls is seen were basically worthless, not just sampling bias but the sort of leading questions that would get thrown out by any respectable pollster.
It was the secondary target though and both primary and secondary targets were chosen because they were largely unscathed by bombing.It wasn't the intended target.
Insane if true.

They're probably oblivious to the war crimes and atrocities going on at the moment. Being told they're the good guys.
You'd think you'd have some doubts though when all other news sources are banned and you only access information from the one side?
Interesting and thanks for sharing. Went with a charity to Mostar after the war to work with Muslim and Christian youngsters. Powerful moment in my life. Beyond comprehension anyone would see the nato input as an aggressor and probably as Serbia were one of the chief aggressorsAs I've said in the past, I look for a balanced view on why this is all happening. I have to say I'm pissed off with this article but feel it is worth a read just to see the psyche of some of the people in Europe.
RT.COM a Serbian Gob giving his view on the current war in Ukraine.
The article here gives voice to a nutter's view of Nato. Some startling Juxta positions in the way he describes the will of the people and Nato's reluctance to put troops on the ground.
Concerning; given that we also saw demonstrations in Croatia a couple of weeks ago. Not directly linked but the 'Western mindset' is criticised. Makes me wonder if this conflict in Ukraine is going to last years without a similar Nato intervention.
This war could go on another 8 years like the 2014 conflict has.

Ukraine is second act of NATO’s 1999 attack on Yugoslavia – Kusturica
The world is now undergoing a “deconstruction of power” that thought itself supreme 23 years ago, the famous Serbian director tells RT
Ukraine is second act of NATO’s 1999 attack on Yugoslavia – Kusturica
The current conflict over Ukraine is basically the sequel to the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the celebrated Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica told RT on Tuesday, pointing out the continuity of Russophobia and the West’s disdain for international law.
On March 24, 1999, NATO launched its air war against what was then the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The bombing continued for 78 days and ended with a negotiated armistice, allowing UN peacekeepers into the rebel province of Kosovo.
Because Russia was weak and ruled by the “Western oligarchy” propping up President Boris Yeltsin, Serbia was “absolutely alone” in fighting for its freedom, borders and survival, Kusturica told RT from his home in Mecavnik.
This was “when international law was changed to what I call ‘humanitarian’ law,” the filmmaker said, alluding to NATO’s official reasoning that it was trying to stop a humanitarian disaster in Kosovo, and the subsequent doctrine of “responsibility to protect” created to justify the war.
“This war did not just come out of nowhere. This is a continuation of something seeded much earlier,” the director said, referring to the current conflict over Ukraine. Kusturica sees a continuity of Russophobia in the West, which rejected Russia’s offer of partnership after the Cold War.
NATO claimed the bombing brought peace, but the only thing it achieved was to enable the October 2000 color revolution, Kusturica noted. Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was overthrown in what would become a template for two such revolts in Ukraine, first in 2004 and then in 2014.
Bombing of Serbia was just the first act, now we’re witnessing the second act of the same story.
Serbs aren’t pro-war, they just remember 1999 and understand the causes of the current conflict in Ukraine, Kusturica told RT.
“In a unipolar world, nobody is paying a price for [their] moves,” he pointed out. “Now we’re facing the deconstruction of power around the world, and what matters I think in the end is what kind of weapons you have.”
Back in 1999, Serbia did not have the most modern weapons – Yeltsin blocked the delivery of air defense systems that might have made more of a difference, Kusturica said. Even so, the Serbs managed to shoot down a US “stealth” bomber. They remember NATO’s “humanitarian” bombs even today, he added.
“They never came on the ground, because they know how the Serbian people fight,” Kusturica pointed out.

Yugoslavia ended in 2006, when Montenegro declared independence. The ethnic Albanian provisional government in Kosovo – backed by NATO – did so in 2008, though without recognition from Belgrade. Serbia is now an “island” in a sea of NATO states on almost all sides. Yet it is still a place where not all media are under Western control, and where one can still raise a voice against injustice and censorship, Kusturica said.
He condemned what he described as an “almost incredibly satanic version of cancel culture” that now bans Russian conductors, composers and authors, stopping just short of burning books in city squares like the Nazis used to do.
Russian authors like “Chekhov, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy are inseparable from what we call European culture,” Kusturica said, arguing the West is now attempting to cut them off, but that the world will “eventually see these pieces coming back together.”
Born in what is today Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kusturica made his first feature film in 1981, going on to direct a series of award-winning features and try his hand at acting, music and writing as well. He resides in an ethnic-themed village in western Serbia, originally built as the set for his 2003 film ‘Life is a Miracle’.
Seen a few bits on Twitter showing apparently Roma people including kids being tied to lampposts in Ukraine by Ukrainian forces. Some other tweets suggest it is Russian speaking people

One of the most telling things I watched was the defence from the nazis was that the holocaust was in self defence. The Bolshevik’s and the Jews were going to attack them so they had to wipe them out. Sounds like a putin we knowAs I've said in the past, I look for a balanced view on why this is all happening.

Which make me wonder how much closer ww3 is. No peace deal and NATO will likely act.One of the most telling things I watched was the defence from the nazis was that the holocaust was in self defence. The Bolshevik’s and the Jews were going to attack them so they had to wipe them out. Sounds like a putin we know
you know the consequences of that - sadly a pretty grim future for all of usWhich make me wonder how much closer ww3 is. No peace deal and NATO will likely act.
I just don't think that the dropping of any nuclear bomb can ever be called strategic under any circumstances whatsoever. That's just my opinion. It's the final option that ends in suicide and the end of life on Earth for billions. The fact that Putin threatens to use it puts him on a par with Adolf Hitler even at this relatively early stage.It was the secondary target though and both primary and secondary targets were chosen because they were largely unscathed by bombing.
