One of his best videos of late. Russia really has made a strategic balls up of epic proportions.
Driven Ukrainian nationalism to highs that will not decline in living memory.
Even if they do manage to hang on to areas, they are destroyed and the populations have left. Ukraine will never stop fighting for those areas.
Moved Europe away from its energy and so its foreign currency income has disappeared.
Russia now seen as a pariah by most countries and its populations.
Strengthened the EU and NATO beyond Putin's worst fears.
Strengthened the US as they now supply a lot of the energy to Europe and everyone will want it weapon systems.
Educated population has flowed out of Russia with their money.
Foreign investors have had their fingers burnt by Russia so will not be looking to reinvest there once the war is over.
Other East Eurasian countries looking to move away from Russian influence.
Russian military decimated in both hardware reserves and future sales of weapon systems.

Yes it cuts through many arguments from both sides regarding how it will end, but what I find interesting is that at so many points Putin could have extracted himself from a losing position with little cost politically and claimed 'victory' but instead he doubled-down (where have we heard that before?). That doesn't bode well for any kind of negotiated settlement in the near term so those insisting UKR should sit down around a table really need to look at the history of this conflict. Negotiation will only work after the RF has been kicked out of UKR and only afterwards can Russia's concerns over their own national security can be addressed.

Is it? You are trying to claim the EU is so corrupt, like the UK isn't. And your mate Putin is as corrupt as they come. Typical from you, come into a thread and derail it with your own ideology. I get the feeling you and some other want Russia to win this war.

Well to be fair your response to him was vague and didn't seem to highlight an equivalent, taking a declared donation from say a naturalised British citizen/Russian oligarch isn't illegal and it's been pretty clear from the response to the invasion of Ukraine that the likes of Boris etc.. are no friends of Putin, in fact, it's quite clear Russia would have had a much better time if Corbyn would have won. Unless there is something specific you're trying to highlight there similar to the bags of money issue then it does seem like a bit of whataboutery that you have thrown in instinctively and haven't really thought through.

I'm going to suggest that video is modified, possibly with speed. I'd like to see the original it was taken from.

I think you might be right, watching it back multiple times and full screen on the PC, it does appear to be sped up. If you focus on the left trouser leg, it does not move normally in relation to the leg movement. right finger movement also looks off.
Not quite as evident whilst watching on phone.

That's nonsense, only this last week someone in here was saying we, the UK, should give Ukraine access to Trident, which sure as hell would start a proper war. There are more irrational and immature belicose people in here and in the left wing media than even I would have imagined possible. There are lots of (mainly young) people with no experience of war thrutching to start one with Russia. Their glee at death and destruction is obscene, their conception of war with Russia utterly naïve.

I know for a fact many acquaintances wouldn't have been able to point The Ukraine out on a map or offer any useful insight about the country two years ago, that are now so swept up in the media frenzy that you'd think President Putin was trying to take England.

As one looking on horrified as the UK and Europe has demographic changes and capitulation beyond even my worst nightmares the thought of strong, nationalistic and imperialistic leaders who openly state they do not want their country to become like many European ones, demographically, politically or morally, is refreshing. I think I am becoming more aligned with Bernie Ecclestone monthly...

Hahahahahahahaha.

Oh look it’s Chris with another immigration and leftist number one album.

You will do literally anything to circle back to either of those issues.

Lmao.
 
Whilst it's against Moldova's constitution I think the risk of being overthrown by a Russian-backed rebellion that will destroy that constitution anyway is probably enough justification to shift a few thousand Romanian troops into Chisinau, Russia won't do anything about it because it's not at war with Moldova.
 
A bit different but maybe they plan to resurrect Fire Shadow with a longer range variant using newly available tech - there was talk of a 500km range variant using Israeli tech but AFAIK was shelved.

As interesting as that would be, seems a bit far fetched and wouldnt have the established production line that would be required for delivery in any reasonable timeline.
