fair enough. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... you must be drunk. Ducks don't talk.

In a word, no. That his country is under attack is not a carte blanche for the proposals made here. This thread is supposed to be about the political/military situation in Ukraine and to voice support for Ukraine's resistance. It is not a thread to support the eradication of whatever he decides in his next post to call Russians. Sometime there are Russians and sometimes they are a fiction - he can't seem to make up his mind.

that is a complete whitewash of what you have advocated.

you know maybe if you actually read a little more..... For example, before going off on those horrible Arabs you might want to check the founding of the state of Israel. Deir Yassin comes to mind Deir Yassin - Wikipedia or perhaps Sabra and Shatila Sabra and Shatila massacre - Wikipedia I'm with @The_Capton this. Your intolerance and support for genocide has no place here.

U.S. Embassy in Russia asks its citizens to leave the country «immediately». (msn.com)

leaving so abruptly? That is awfully suspicious....

we aren't forgetting that. The originating statement is still nonsensical.

Interesting response

you seem to have a very focused regional bias.

uuuuhh c'mon dude. Italy elections, Le Pen in France? Ring a bell?

I think you are really reaching there.....

huh? Why would the US want an alternative to NATO?

Question with what looks to be impending fall of Lyman. What are we looking at strategically? With all the talk of Nordstream and the UN I am getting lost on what to expect from continued UA advances. What will be the expected effect on LNR and Russian operational issues on this front? Trying to get a picture on what to expect from UA. Been a lot of talk previously of them opening another offensive towards the south but so far not much has materialized there. Pressure continues to be exerted around Kherson, but it seems the UA is not in a hurry to collapse those defenses. Could be they prefer Russia to keep loading up troops on the left bank while they continue to push the Kharkiv offensive. Or UA could have something else in mind as soon as the ground starts to freeze up. Not like Russia is reorganizing or increasing combat power. Just the opposite, they seem hell bent on making their army even worse.

are you neglecting your new bride? Shame on you.

The Ukrainian Army Reportedly Destroyed Another Russian Division (msn.com) Forbes chiming in

the world is bipolar? Don't we have meds for that now?

soon... new northern China

somebody reconnected power to the traffic lights and the tic toc warriors freaked out.

jeez, the way they refer to Putin. that poor distraught Supreme commander is being undermined by his flunkies.

After the UA is done with the Russian army, I think we could station a girl scout troop on the border.

all of those folks don't add up to what you propose though. They aren't motivated AGAINST the regime. They are motivated to want their lives to go on unchanged from the war. The best option I have seen so far is the various republics that are resisting mobilizing their young. They have a vested interest in keeping the Moscow regime from using their folks as cannon fodder. The folks fleeing as has been noted in this thread are not expressing a pro Ukraine sentiment or even anti regime. They just don't want to go. If anything, you see them blaming the west or Ukraine for their plight. Honestly, I have no idea when we might hit a trigger point where they do blame the regime, but even when they do, what will their answer be? The US had somewhat of an underground movement during the Vietnam war in both antiwar activities as well as facilitating draft resistance. However, while the FBI and various police forces did cross a lot of legal lines pursuing it, it was never like Russians will see and it was not real effective. I just don't see the mass level of commitment it would take to create an underground resistance of any sort. The closest they have had is the mothers organization.
