I’m as happy that the Ukrainians are putting up stiffer resistance than expected as anyone is, but you’re delusional if you think they’re actually *winning*. They’re just inflicting (and almost certainly suffering) reasonably high casualties as they lose. Maybe that’ll be enough if they can drag it out for long enough, but it’s a big assumption that Putin will be put off that easily. Where did I say they were winning? I’m just saying that Russia isn’t steamrolling Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The claims from Russia that Ukraine’s government are Nazis are pretty bizarre considering the Ukrainian President is Jewish. Surely that sort of propaganda would not fly inside Ukraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it might be the best time for Chechnya to declare 'independence'. What are the Mongols up to nowadays? Any Genghis Khan wannabe wants to take some extra territory north? Or may be China is thinking, it’s the right time to “unified” Taiwan given how passive the Biden office has reacted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were asking for proof that Russia was winning the battles in the post I quoted. They’re clearly winning battles. At a cost, of course, but they’re still winning. Edit: there’s plenty of evidence that Ukraine are losing troops and vehicles too, although their victories get more press for obvious reasons. This video for example.

Popular Post Davkaus Posted February 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'm a bit baffled by protests in the UK. As far as I can tell, they're not protesting for the UK to do anything, simply to protest against the invasion. In Ukraine. By Russia. Not sure Mr Putin is keeping his eyes on Nottingham this weekend, fellas. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A show of support for those who are seeing missiles fly past there windows - and seeing guns and tanks on the street. They need all the support they can get. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video’s from the region where the Ukrainians tried to stop the Russian forces that have been pushing out of Crimea. Doesn’t look like it went particularly well for them unfortunately. Video should probably be titled “Crimean Front” rather than “Crimean Front Line”. Edited February 25, 2022 by Panto_Villan clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a protest with some sort of goal relevant to us, be it providing aid, refuge, etc, I'd get it. Even if it was just a show of disapproval but outside a Russian embassy I'd get it. Just seems a bit bizarre to all gather around in a completely unrelated location to all say "we don't approve of this thing, done by people completely unrelated to this place", they may as well piss in the wind. If that's how they want to spend their weekend though, as they please! Edited February 25, 2022 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I’m hearing the Russians are getting whacked in many locations. Ukraine’s whole male population is being mobilised. Losing Kyiv isn’t that much of an issue (see Napoleon taking Moscow), the Russians will be spreading themselves out across the country and that’s when they can be got at properly. The military aren’t going to recognise some Russian puppet regime, and if everyone keeps fighting they can bleed the Russians into disaster. Also those in UK calling for a NATO no-fly zone need to drop the euphemisms. They’re calling for war with Russia, and if that’s what they want they should say it openly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
