I certainly hope so. You don't, I know.
So they will at some point retreat will they?

True but tragically there'll be no peace deal and defeat will not happen this side of November.I can't help thinking that now might be a good time to try and reach a peace agreement before the whole of Ukraine falls.
How many countries would you allow Putin to take over before maybe deciding to try and stop him?True but tragically there'll be no peace deal and defeat will not happen this side of November.
I suspect the Biden regime will continue to cynically fund the war regardless of human suffering rather than allow his re election prospects to be severely damaged.
The fight for full press freedom in Ukraine: ‘We can write what we want, but bad actors try to intimidate us’
Kyiv Independent’s Olga Rudenko is set on telling the truth in wartime, despite clumsy instances of state harassmentwww.theguardian.com
Sounds very democratic.*
* This doesn’t mean I support Russia or think Russia is a democracy.
How many countries would you allow Putin to take over before maybe deciding to try and stop him?
Seems like some people are at least tryingWell he’s not being stopped.
Still yet to hear from @Sick Boy as to why this should factor in to our thinking on how to end the warIs this your first day? They’re at war.
Given that they currently occupy swathes of Moldova and Georgia the honest answer is at least one more. You won’t get that answer though. There’s also an argument that they occupy Chechnya, Belarus basically has a Russian Vichy government and occupies a sizeable Russian force there including the majority of what’s left of Wagner Group and they’re also in an ongoing territorial dispute with Japan over parts of the Kuril Islands that are part of the same island chain that Japan is part of. All the signs are there that Putin isn’t a man you empower with a military victory. All it will do is shift the fight to another territory. We’ve been here before and learned nothing in trying to appease Putin for decades and some still don’t want to learn from that with some rather naive idea that Putin being appeased won’t somehow embolden him.How many countries would you allow Putin to take over before maybe deciding to try and stop him?
So the relevance in this thread is what? That Ukraine and Russia, they’re just as bad as each other? Bad people on many sides?The two aren’t really connected. I presume that propaganda and misinformation from the Kremlin are fair enough though as they’re at war as well.
Trump is clearly beholden to Russia.
Seems to have softened in the last few weeks though, allowing the new aid package.
For what reasons exactly remains unclear, but you can guarantee it'll be for personal gain.
It was following on from discussions around how democratic it is as a country.So the relevance in this thread is what? That Ukraine and Russia, they’re just as bad as each other? Bad people on many sides?
The only way Ukraine will win is with direct involvement of western troops, which isn’t going to happen.And on that topic it seems the aid package is having an effect already, lines have stabilised, Russia taking horrendous losses for minimal gains and unable to expand any breakthroughs they do make.
And in the case of the specific example you raised, the answer being “Not too dissimilar from most wartime democracies” then?It was following on from discussions around how democratic it is as a country.

Well Macron has been very categorical that it will happen if Russia break through the lines.
And as I have said before Ukraine absolutely could have won had the West continued with the appropriate levels of aid. Russia were only going in one direction and there was only one side capable of winning at that point. Sadly, the west let that moment pass and now it looks incredibly difficult.
But also there is no way Russia can conquer the whole of Ukraine though, that just isn’t happening.
Yeah a government placing hidden cameras in hotel rooms to record journalists taking drugs to smear them is perfectly normal.And in the case of the specific example you raised, the answer being “Not too dissimilar from most wartime democracies” then?
Lol Macron sending the troops in without NATO consent
You accuse others of swallowing empty words and propaganda
First and foremost, among with the punchbag pictures, it was to try and make himself look tough ahead of a difficult election period.He doesn't need NATO's consent, why would he?
I don't think it will come to it anyway. But it clearly upset Putin which I'm sure it was designed to do.
I didn’t say it was, but it’s not exactly unheard of from more credible governments either!Yeah a government placing hidden cameras in hotel rooms to record journalists taking drugs to smear them is perfectly normal.

Worse still, they even break into your apartment and leave a shit in your toilet!Yeah a government placing hidden cameras in hotel rooms to record journalists taking drugs to smear them is perfectly normal.
Russia only had one tank on display during its Victory Day parade this year.
Every year, Moscow wraps itself in patriotic pageantry for Victory Day, a celebration of its victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
Today marks the 79th anniversary and Mr Putin addressed the parade in the Red Square, talking up his country's military capabilities in a speech aimed as much at a foreign audience as a domestic one.
The Second World War T34 tank was the only one present
It is.
How is the Russian occupation of Kyiv going?
Are you a regular viewer of Napolitano’s show? He has quite the career history.
Getting closer every day by the sounds of it.
According to The New York Times, Napolitano "has a taste for conspiracy theories". The Washington Post has described him as a "purveyor of conspiracy theories."
A wonderful source to get your news from. Lots of speculation and unsubstantiated guess work. I zoned out after they started saying Zelenskiy had had his opposition killed.

How Europe and Britain are getting ready for 'WWIII'
many European countries are reversing decades of peacetime policy to reignite their war engines. Others never stopped and are only consolidating efforts to ensure they are fit for conflictwww.dailymail.co.uk
