    Maybe Khakrov and the Odessa routes must be taken IMO if you are Russia anything less simply isn't acceptable.

    No No No its not inferior - it is by design. Not only that it probably cost at least 20x more than the Russian equivalent.
    These guys know how to make $$$. Twisted Evil

    Schadefraude aside Laughing kvs actually hit a bullseye.
    We have multiple examples incoming from a different directions, that they ARE inferior by eons.
    That applies marine grade steel, with the submarine division fuckup being a saga of its own.
    That applies the aviation materials.
    Space.
    Regular use.
    It turns out, that a standard steel for toolmaking in the Soviet Union, with GOST number back in the 60s, is de facto better than some fancy-trancy-supa-dupa alloys the wankers are using now, for custom knivemaking. A $400 a piece Laughing
    You can take an GOST stamped axe from the 60s, and it will be better than a rail quality steel now Laughing
    It is a madness!

    He will exit Kharkov and the rest will go to NATO

    1)Firstly they don't include all of those 4 oblasts. So there IS  a territory dispute.

    2)There is deNazification and demilitarisation ie protection of Russia AND "Ukraine" areas.
    And getting justice for the atrocities.

    By Putin being strong, you are accusing him of being weak.
    So if I was obviously in Moscow, you would use that as evidence of me being "in Washington".

    Whatever is left of Ukraine after the war is over sure

    Why not? The rulebook means nothing anymore. All the leaders of the NATO countries are 100% for war. They can agree to do anything they want.

    For war as long as syrian, ukrinians, kurds... are dying.

    Eurasia & Multipolarity
    Forwarded from Slavyangrad (O)

    The West was able to get to the riches of the Russian Federation at the end of the 20th century - Putin


    “We all remember, we have not forgotten anything. They called us friends, but in fact they treated us like a colony,” the president said.

    Putin said :
    ❗western Russophobia is nothing but racism.
    ❗The United States was the first in the world to use nuclear weapons, setting a precedent - Putin.
    ❗They brazenly divide the world into their vassals and everyone else. They stigmatize entire peoples and states - there is nothing new in this. They were and remain colonizers.
    ❗ the anglo-saxons destroyed the NS pipelines.
    ❗the United States has actually begun to destroy the European energy structure. Sanctions are not enough for Anglo-Saxons, so they turn to sabotage.
    ❗The US is leading Europe towards deindustrialization.

    Russia is ready for the fight

    I mean in all fairness if I was Putin, I'd be glad those pipelines got knocked out, yes it will hurt in the short term but in the long term, it forces you to diversify you should never be too dependent on a single revenue source.

    That's obviously not the plan because Putin is not an idiot

    You can't just exit with a face saving way if your opponent is set on brutally killing you no matter how many Ukrainians he has to sacrifice to do it

    It is an exit,

    The west will tell Zelensky to stop attacks on the new regions

    That's it

    The deal was made and sold to us as a victory

    Russia can save face

    And NATO takes the rest [/quote]

    I wish, Zelensky isn't talking peace.  His masters aren't talking peace and today we will probably see Russia booted from the UNSC and the end of the UN because while Putin and most of the world wants peace Washington and its socks in Europe want to destroy Russia.  There will be no deal.

    As others and I have said before Nikolaev and Odessa is a must for the link up to Transnistria and Gagauzia anything less would be a total let down to them.

    A member of Russian Parliament and former commander said 1 day ago on Scott Ritters show that the Kiev regime will be removed.

    Russia would not freaking mobilize 100's of 1000's of men to defend the new territories. It makes zero f'ing sense.

    Nor was Putin ever looking for a "face saving" way out. That was a fabrication by the Western media

    Maybe that is it for outright anexxation. The rest will go to the federal republic of Ukraine. A new entity that has nothing to do with the Kiev regime

    Today is a day for celebrations (must go to the supermarket soon and buy champagne and a nice cake ;D hahaha)!!!

    cheers  russia

    Yes...Putin left the option open for a peaceful settlement. If Ukraine accepts the situation now then we will see peace. But Zelensky rejected the option.

    And no...Ukraine will be no member of NATO in the next 30 years. ALL members of NATO must say Yes to membership....Hungary and Turkey included! Sorry...but no nuclear war ;D haha

    Well, not so sure about that bro.
    NATO carried out several organized actions of melting - physically - outdated equipment en mass.
    They made some "enviromental&economic" fiesta out of it, citing how much they have "earned" by disposing a single tank or APC or whatever.
    Maybe we should check that with some care because as far as I know, all the reserve stock of M48 and M60, some old AMX, old APCs, trucks etc is gone.
    Some of the stocks that are not gone, are in a miserable condition and cant be used.
    The very first example I had in mind was a vast stock of Strela MANPADS we had here.
    It turned out that having missiles stored in reasonable conditions means perfectly nothing, as there is not a single battery for them left.
    Establishing a battery production is possible, but would require time.
    There is some news from yesterday, that the logistic supply for spare parts for repairing the pieces delivered to Ukro is non existing.
    Nobody was even calculating the scale of usage, the intensity, and the potentially needed spares.
    Some are not even produced, as those were not considered as replacement parts!

    From my time in the British army many items where kept in storage, some were sold to colonial countries but many still remain in storage in warehouses not outside. And melting equipment down costs more than u realize the Brits tend to sell old equipment to private collectors as they make more money that way and to museums. 155mm towed artillery is still in storage. And I would imagine many European countries are the same. And any NATO member will most likely be told to keep a certain level of equipment in storage and to get rid of anything that is very old or obsolete ammo (not NATO standard)

    Russia will take region after region...till Ukraine accepts the new reality.

    Next logical step would be....Kharkov.! The distance, the logistics, the importance of Kharkov. And Nikolajev! Russian troops are only 20 km from Nikolajev away.

    My personal opinion is that after Kharkov, Nikolajev and Odessa Ukraine must surrender...but they can still resist...who knows?!

    The power elites here could literally care less about us. I fully expect if we do see nuclear mushroom clouds that our media will tell us how fallout is beneficial and anyone complaining that their cities look like Hiroshima or Nagasaki are peddling misinformation and are obviously Kremlinbots.
