    Maybe you should read your own links? Offshores that date back to 2012 - 7 years before Zelensky had access to any public funds. And connection to Kolomoysky is perfectly logical and legal - Zelensky produced 95 Kvartal comedy show and it was aired on Kolomoysky’s TV channels. What kind of an idiot would think there would be no business links between a content provider and a TV channel that broadcasts that content?

    If the people speak Russian and belong to the Moscow Patriarchate, and were always part of Imperial Russia, then their heritage is Russian and their national consciousness is Russian. No one has the right to take that away from them anymore than one has a right to take our heritage away from us.

    This though is beyond those who can't see past their own self serving interests. But like all the others before them, they will fail and suffer dearly in the end.

    Well, Zalensky and his handlers will keep saying that Ukraine is winning, until they manage to kill off the last Ukrainian living on lands which haven't been freed by Russia.

    Just to let you know. Russia will not stop advancing until all who voted for Yanukovich and whose rights were taken away with Nuland's coup, have been released from Kiev's tyranny.


    The Kherson and Zaporizhzhya areas will now be reuniting with Crimea back into its original formation. Kherson had even restored its original flag of 1811. The Lugansk area is almost completely free as is Donetsk. After that Russia will free Mykolayev, Odessa, Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk and Ukraine will be completely land locked.

    But look, Zalensky should be happy. He will still have the Lviv area with its Nazi hoards - even though he'll have to share the land with Poland.

    And the minute the harpoons cross the border into Ukraine, they'll be blown up like everything else. But look, if it will make the politicians and all the investors in our Military Industrial Complex happy, then who am I to deny them that.

    Ring around the rosy,
    with pockets full of poesies.

    But before we're found
    let's spin it around,

    and let the world
    come tumbling down.

    Of course there are separatist regions .. Thats where the Separatists live in high numbers silly .. where have you been the last 10 years ? There were seperatists in Crimea for example - wanted to be liberated from the Nazi Azov Battalion ..their wish was granted .. as was foretold. Now we have other separatists -- also persecuted by the famed Nazi Battalion - also wishing liberation ....

    The poster claimed the war was lost - I am not so sure that hope is lost for the Separatists.

    Moreover whether those weapons get destroyed or not the Ukrainians will still have to pay for it. Only fools believe that Ukraine is getting military equipment free of charge. There are loans to be paid for decades to come.

    The truth of the matter is that if Russia were to win, Putin would strip Ukraine of its Democracy, Freedom, Humanity and more. Then Putin would insert his Russian dictatorship and the people of what used to be called Ukraine would be ordered to obey the rules of the Russian dictatorship forever. if any of the rules are disobeyed, there would be severe consequences to suffer. This is not what Ukraine wants and will keep fighting to prevent it.

    It’s funny that you use an election map from 12 years ago.
    Here is a more recent one. Pro-Russian candidate got only 10% of the vote:

    Ah yes, fear lives eternal. The belief that others will do to us what we have been doing to them has always been the basis of wars. Everything you wrote is nothing more than a reflection of the tyrannical laws imposed on Ukraine since Nuland's coup in 2014, when half the country was stripped of its rights.

    Projection, projection, it's what some do.
    and they of course will think it's true,
    not knowing they're seeing themselves in you.


    Yet in the past it's been the case,
    of nations fallen far from Grace,
    of going to war like the one they face.


    Yet it doesn't have to be so
    and end in tears and cries and woe.
    It could end right now - like this verse.

    - Jeannette

    What I write here are the true facts to the best of my ability. That's all. Putin's plan to invade Ukraine is so Putin would Merge Ukraine into Russia and insert his dictatorship and order the former Ukraine around. Putin is an evil man and he doesn't care about anyone but himself, He doesn't even care of his own people. As long as he gets his way, that's all that matters.

    Total Russian military vehicle losses have now passed the 4000 mark, as of this moment no news of any increase in tank losses which still stand at 697 but will almost certainly exceed 700 shorty.

    In addition photographic evidence has come to light confirming Russia is currently transferring T-62(Ms) tanks from its reserve stockpile to the combat zone. The T-63 M is an upgrade of the original T-62 which ceased production in 1975! Its last major use by Russia was in the invasion of Afghanistan and Chechnya and in both wars it suffered heavy loses. The hulls of these 'modernized' tanks will therefore be something like 60 years old!

    The current thinking by Western analysts is that these tanks will not be used in front line fighting but instead will be deployed for rear area security operations where their vulnerability to modern ATGMs and relatively poor electronics/sighting systems will be less of an issue. The idea being that this will free up more modern tanks (T-72's) for front line service. That said the very fact Russia has been forced to do this indicates it is suffering from a critical shortage of more modern tanks. The presence of T-62s on the battlefield is also expected to further complicate Russia's already overstretched logistics and maintenance services because the T-62 shares no commonality of parts with the more modern Russian tanks deployed in Ukraine.

    Link to a Telegram post where a girl shows the price tag in Russia for a small bottle of Omega-3 fish oil pills. 2,323 rubles. That’s $38 if you go by official exchange rate (60:1 for simplicity). In Russia, 40 softgels with fish oil are selling for $38. Brand - Nature’s Bounty.
    And sanctions didn’t even fully kick in yet.
    :lol:

    Added: in my local Walmart exact same fish oil softgells by Nature’s Bounty, 120 count, is selling for $8.99.

    Wanted to add - the girl in that video also mentioned that she lost her job and that a worker in that particular store told her that a lot of employees are being let go due to lack of business.
    I think the predicted drop of 30% in Russian GDP is pretty generous - the extremely expensive imports, which they need for pretty much everything, will have amplifying effect on their collapsing economy. Russians might struggle to afford vodka for New Years Eve of 2023.

    God only knows why... probably to do with it being a slow day in the office yesterday...anyway... I wound up watching a video of some young lad going round a supermarket in Omsk doing some shopping for his Mum (bless him) and commenting on the price rises...for simple things like bog roll, biscuits and bread and stuff like that.....point being that most of the prices had doubled or tripled in the last two months or so....anyway if I find it I'll post it.....and if you're having a realllly slow day you can watch it too.....

    There was one point where he showed these bog rolls which just looked like rolled up newspaper...that's literally what it looked like and they cost Rbl18 / roll - apparently there is a sizeable population that hanker for the crap old soviet style austerity stuff.....they must have very solid @rseholes....?

    Latest news states Ukraine has lost more fighters in 3 months than america lost in 10 years of the Iraq war. BBC is doing a U turn, they're now running with the narrative of an inevitable Russian victory. Very weird.

    I think it pretty obvious that Ukraine have lost more military personnel than the US did in Iraq likewise Russia have as well...indeed...have lost significantly more than the Ukrainians - Russia is currently around 29K(?) dead...god only knows how many wounded and captured so its really one of those "expert on the obvious" things..

    this is the latest BBC report....
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-61570444

    There is no victor or victory in this and I'd like to see that statement as well as it doesn't sound like something the BBC would write at this stage of a conflict. If they are reporting comments made by 3rd parties then that's a different matter - there are comments from Davos by various tits that say the Ukrainians should let Putin have what he wants so they can go back to their grand globalisation project...so....lots of comments and rhetoric
