Sure, but you said Putin has lost support, well only recently Russia attended the Brics summit and they invited 6 new member countries to join. Another 14 have applied to join. Russia and Putin aren't some international pariah state, it's really only the West. Why would all these countries wish to join a new organisation with Russia as one of the major founding members? Most of the world outside of the West have little interest in the Ukraine war except hoping that it doesn't spiral out of control.

Remind me how brics will work out with India and China at each others throats and china drawing new maps of the east

How many tinpot countries are members of that amazeballs league.
Also, have those 'new memebers' actually applied or was it not just an invitation sent out for them to join.

My 68 year old stone mason fire place fitter was talking BRICS alongside fiat and all his other CTs including ivermectin. I think it's their new answer to everything.

I imagine joining is like a private parking fine.

Most of the top tier tank deaths have been running over mines, then getting finished off with artillery, I would imagine this is much the same, we've entered a new era of warfare where artillery is king because drones give so much battlefield information it's easy to spot stuff for a pummeling of 150mm shells

Seems confirmed it was disabled by a mine and then finished off with drone strikes.
 
cubans are getting trafficked to ukraine

they get approached by russians in Cuba, and told if they climb on a plane they can come work in cities like Mariupol doing construction work and repairs, then they arrive in Russia and take a bus into Ukraine and when they get off the bus in Ukraine they are given military uniforms and told they are now mercenaries fighting for russia and if they don't want to fight they get sent to the POW camps

He doesn't, he wants to take the Eastern areas of Ukraine where the majority of the population speak Russian

The majority of people in Ukraine speak Russian. Anyone over 25 is virtually guaranteed to speak it as they had to learn it in school. I worked with several Ukrainians and they all spoke Russian fluently, but they all wanted Ukraine to be independent from Russia.

Russia also loves to flood an area with Russians and then claim it is there's.

They are even more cynical than that. Russia distributed empty Russian passports in South Ossetia before the 2008 conflict began, so that any pro-Russian Georgian citizens could immediately become Russian citizens simply by filling their details into the passport and sticking in their photo. Then they did this:

...On August 5 [2008], Moscow issued a statement saying that it would defend Russian citizens in South Ossetia. It is important to note that these so-called Russian citizens were mainly South Ossetians – that is to say, Georgian citizens – to whom Russia had simply handed out Russian passports. Russia has carried out this potentially destabilizing practice of distributing Russian passports to citizens of other neighbors from the former Soviet Union for years. ... On August 8, the Russians poured across the international border, crossed the boundaries of South Ossetia past where the conflict was occurring, and pushed their way into much of the rest of Georgia...

Latvia says 60% of Russians required to take the Latvian language test failed their exam

There is as much as 20 thousand Russians living illegally in Latvia but Latvia is giving them the choice to stay if they can pass a Latvian language test, otherwise these Russian Citizens will be deported

The Latvian authorities are now deciding whether to deport the 12 thousand who failed their test or give them another chance by doing the test a 2nd time

Poland today signed another equipment purchase deal

Today's purchases are worth $25 billion and some of the items in that package includes:

* Thousands of drones

* Naval Strike Missiles, unknown quantity

* 6 Batteries of the Patriot Air Defence system (48 missile launchers and support equipment like radars, generators etc)

* Un-specified quantity of mobile IBCS systems. This is a communications system built by Northrop that allows various other military systems and sensors to be integrated on the battlefield, with a focus on air defence. This system is able to integrate F35's, Patriots and other air defence and radar systems into one large network so data is shared between all platforms

* Unspecified quantity of CAMM and Pilica short range missiles

Holy heck. For the country the size of Poland they aren't messing around. I suspect they are the ones that realize that the Russia/China + others threat is growing increasingly likely.
