    China can propose what it wants, but Russia will not agree to anything that doesn't include the Ukraine withdrawing from the 4 regions that are now part of Russia, and in full, as well as an iron-clad guarantee that the Ukraine will not join NATO whether officially or unofficially, or host foreign military bases on its soil, or any foreign troops/mercs/equipment/whatever. Other than that, they can Nazi-around and receive virtual money from Europe all they want.

    And the Ukraine, and the US-loyal servants in power there, will not agree to anything with those conditions, else they would have agreed already in 2014, or in December 2021, or in April 2022.

    All the rest are just word games and maneuvering for the benefit of recruiting world opinion.

    I think the plan was coordinated with Russia as the Chinese chancellor is in Moscow probably working on this..

    In other words, it is a gesture , provided only to give a case for further pushing back of the Ukrainian borders

    Because we all know such a proposal would be ignored by Kiev and Washington

    So, China will propose a plan, Ukraine and the US will never accept it

    And then it is time to send in the VDV, a Gostomel type assault behind Kharkov and Dnipro, with large combined arms assault in the rear of VSU on the steppes

    This way shelling of Russian territory will stop, and the whole process can restart itself next year

    A slow gobbling of Ukro territory, killing maximum VSU troops, and ensuring Russian territory is protected from GLSDB and ER HIMARS rockets which have made their way to the front

    Putin offers a chance, a quiet before a storm

    It is quite moronic to disregard what the president just said on a nationally televised speech, in front of thousands in Moscow

    "everyone should understand that the longer the range of Western weapons systems being delivered to Ukraine, the farther Russia will be forced to move the threat away from its borders it’s only natural,”

    It seems many so called fortune tellers predict too much they don't know anything about

    An offensive will happen, it is a matter of time only

    Nobody said that his speech will be disregarded, just that means by which it will be done will differ. I have to agree that the chance of seeing another Gostomel is pretty low.

    Is that all butthurt about the kids can be explained by any reasonable means other than blah blah blah?
    Yes, people with a solid and stable income can afford worldwide trips.
    Yes, people who have power & contacts can locate their kids in the most exclusive positions.
    Yes, they will be even more wealthy than their parents.
    That is how it works, it is called wealth accumulation.
    Every single person should be devoted to that, no matter the existing status.
    The butthurt means that you are not a part of that.
    Sorry.
    Don't waste your time on the internet forum, go and do some productive things.

    Every single sane human being gives a round shit about the sexual orientation of anybody because it is not his fukin business.
    As long as the orientation is not being waved in front of him as a bloody banner.
    As far as I had not a single clue of his son's orientation (if true), looks like he cares about his business the way we all shall do.
    Butthurt can be calmed with this :

    Chinese seems to have decided to send in weapons. Peace plan just for the public.

    IMO PLAN would love to send some marines to help Russia and get combat experience for future island wars in south china sea. They desperately need some experience.

    This is why i wonder about the strategy. Even if Ukraine only has 20 million in population left , netting out the males is still a lot of cannon fodder. Russia has to systematically disrupt this process. Hit govt buildings , paralize the state.

    Sorry, posted in the wrong thread earlier.

    ------

    It is the 24th of February.....,  paratrooper Everyone remembers the event?. paratrooper
    It is engraved in my mind anyway.

    Gostomel

    my description on Odysee by this video:

    on 24th of February 2022 the Russian Federation launched an massive airborne assault on an airfield right on Kiev's doorstep.
    Marking the beginning of the Russian Denazification of Ukraine.
    For friend and Foe alike, it gave a great deal of respect for the Russian Military's ability to execute it so successful as this.
    Personally, i am an former Airborne soldier as well. And i have nothing but admiration for this operation.
    It will certainly will be told in military circles for decades to come as how it can be successfully done.

    As a note from me:

    I spend a lot of time in searching for additional footage, then frame-interpolating and upscaling footage to HD trough AI.
    Some vids where too vague and low-res at some points for the software/AI so they look 3d rendered.
    But personally i was quite satisfied the footage got to this level in general.
    Apologies in advance if i melt some people's PC's here.
    I went for full frames and Resolution, no compromise with this one.
    For once i wanted to get the best out of the footage.

    the older compilation is here. it will not be taken down:

    @alamo

    And the only way to make homosexuality an non-issue is to get it into hiding again. Do I need to remind what happened to pidors in Soviet Union? It was optimal approach - up to 7 years in hard labour camp, article 121, that was revoked in 1993 against popular support by no other than western prostitute Yelcin.

    Also, homoglobos are pro-Ukrainian, they thrive like bacteria in perverted west. Just like this one, who lost bit of his hand, instead of something else he was hoping to loose. 

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #39 - Page 9 C0d67f10


    @backman 

    yes, this is what many people were saying - it’s not just Russia who thinks that grinding war of attrition is feasible, but that is what NATO are doing. They want to make this war very costly to Russia in exchange of UA lives… they are scraping the barrel in some regions, mostly from “undesirable” passives like Odesites and Kharkovites (they used to be pro-Russian in 2014)

    Western Ukrainians are still not subjected to this and it would mean they still have enough meat to throw at.

    Ukraine is not even a country at this point. It’s a foreign controlled army who doesn’t care about future demographics or even their own land. You can send whole country into demographic blackhole and turn it into stoneage age, but Ukrs will go at you like talibs.

    She is daughter of a Defense Minister of a nation which is at war

    It's not tad distasteful, it's straight up obscene

    She might as well take a piss on the graves of dead soldiers and shit on the doorstep of their relatives

    Yes Russia is at war, but it doesn't feel like it. No evidence of it basically where I live. Basically millions of people still go on holiday to the same Thailand, Turkey, etc.. and yes Dubai too.

    As the daughter of the defense minister yes she should stay inside the country and be more solemn in general, not only for appearance reasons but as a security measure too.
    But in terms of being just a citizen of the country she hasn't done anything that anyone else hasn't.

    The only problem I see is that people know where she was and what she was doing. It wouldn’t take much for Ukrainian SBU to organise some bullshit, knowing that they went after a fantasist Dugin.

    There are some politics who sent their sons to fight or even joined SMO themselves btw. Not everyone who is rich and powerful acts the same.

    ^ That's another point. She ain't safe.

    I never heard of her. Just did a Google image search. Expected the worst judging by the talk of her. But most pics show her with her baby daughter and husband. She works in the Russian financial industry that has business in dubai. She seems fine.
