Same energy as Floch from Attack on Titan when he ask what's bad about submission. I mean, you are one of the Ukrainians we know of, in this very forum, and some "westerners" are pretending to be concerned about your life by outright telling yall to just surrender and submit.

A Channel 1 video of the votes being counted in the occupied areas. They’re showing the ballot papers, but I don’t see anything written.

As for "war they can't win"... I dunno, they seem to be doing pretty well. Sure it's because of NATO's help, but that doesn't change the fact that they're winning all the same. |

The sad truth (whether Belkar is Scottish or not) is that there are many Europeans that are crybabies (just like many 'murricans) that rather have all of Ukraine suffer the civilian bloodshed we have seen on the liberated cities, than paying this winter higher energy bills.
The simple fact is that by next winter utility prices will have returned to normal, but putin enablers rather feed the alligator now thinking "the iron curtain never came this close", give me my cheap gas. Maybe they don't know russian mini-subs have already sabotaged nordstream, so russia does not have to pay extra for not fulfilling written contracts. |

Really sums up the level of political discussion on this forum. Enjoy yourselves as to who can virtue signal the most on the topic on the moment. What next? Taiwan? |

Mangamuscle also poorly worded that part about the prices going back to normal I think.
I am guessing he meant that supposed peace supporters, who advocate for Ukraine immediate and unconditional surrender are pretending to side with Karens who want to go back to normal asap. Ukrainian people's freedom to choose their own destiny be damned.

I certainly know if we had suggested Russia would do this prior to this war starting, Russia sympathetic parties would have gone berserk about how slanderous and absurd this all ways. Yet 7 months into the conflict, they don't even blink at any of that and insist that everything is obviously going perfectly fine for Russia.

The sabotage to the Russian pipeline marks a new phase in this war, too many people all over Europe and Africa are going to suffer even more now. This pipeline was the best leverage that Russia had to make Europe submit to their demands, specially given the upcoming winter season, and possibly provide a exit ramp out of this conflict, but now with it gone there there is no incentive to deescalate (not that either side was ever contemplating the idea of a cease fire in the first place).
This is absolutely tragic for the world, we are inching closer to WW3 and this might be the spark to ignite it. I predict that the world's economy is going into a major recession that will impact every country in the world. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme; a little over a hundred years ago the world was struck by the Spanish flu pandemic, which fractured the word's economy and it eventually lead to world war. The economy only recovered when the US emerged as the world's super power. Brace yourselves everyone, there will be famine, mass immigration and lots of death to come just around the corner. But hey! at least those who can weather the storm will come out much wealthier when they get to buy assets at bargain prices... yay... PS. Friendly advice, build up your cash reserves! you can thank me later.

Do you seriously think Russia will stop at the east side of Ukraine if they won.
They didn't stop at Crimea They will absolutely try to invade Poland (AGAIN) (and ironically, when this happened in WW2 it caused a domino effect which led to present day Ukraine) //

First espionage case related to the war in Ukraine. A trans man and his wife are arrested for trying to provide medical records of US military figures to "supposed" FSB officers, who are undercover FBI officers.

Stop. Said pipeline is owned 51% by Gazprom (Russia), but the rest is owned by european companies.

https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows...d-stream-leaks This reminds me how when the pandemic started, a neighbor of mine asked me when it was going to end, expecting me to tell her it would end "in a few months", I told her "in a year if we are lucky" knowing full well the last pandemic lasted two or three years. Anyone here wants to ask me when this war will be over? |

^ You are clearly all-in the in the western propaganda camp. It doesn't matter what side of this war you are on anyway. The ramifications of this event are catastrophic and will only increase tension and escalate this conflict to the next level. All the players involved want nothing but war and they have done everything in their power to ensure that is so. Get ready for some major global pain both in the economic and migratory fronts in the coming months.
I pray that this war doesn't escalate into a nuclear conflict, but what's alarming is the fact that all actions undertaken by western powers do nothing else but back Russia into a corner... And since Putin is just another sociopath with great power, like the rest of them, there is nothing stopping him from pushing that red button and destroying civilization as we know it. EDIT: This video was recently uploaded by Redacted and it echoes my sentiment. What a "nice" coincidence this is... The next few hours are going to be pivotal for the course of this war. Lets hope the NATO rejects Ukraine's application or all bets are off.

If the US busts the pipeline *maybe* the energy blackmail threat is removed, and the EU coalition is strengthened...but if they get caught, it creates the very fracture in the EU Coalition you were trying to avoid. This makes it a dubious bet for the US, regardless of how shady you think the CIA is Now if you're Russia the situation is different. If you blow the pipe covertly *maybe* you weaken the EU Coalition by leaving people wondering if the US did it. And if you get caught red handed the cost is....not all that much since you're already under sanctions and isolated as hell and unpopular. There's also the fact that gambles like this are more likely to be performed by the more desperate side. The US and EU backed Ukrainians are currently conducting successful offensives in the north east, and Russia is conducting an utterly panicked and disorganized mobilization. Which side comes off as more desperate? Quote:
What's preventing this is all the Kremlin hawks, full of dreams of reestablishing the Russian Empire, refusing to acknowledge that they could lose the war, and they've probably already lost it conventionally speaking.
