What likely isn't fake news is that Russia has lost many generals (perhaps four or five) and high ranking commanders in the war. This does tell about ...
Of course. I'd agree it's likely, but the probability of it being fake isn't zero. And even if it's simply thoughtlessness of those who cleaned up the...
Obviously Putin does have his supporters, no doubt. But one should notice that Putin's Russia is authoritarian, and spontaneity is usually controlled ...
Of course you don't. And these people came all with their own flags to the stadium, which they cherish so much. They weren't handed to them by the org...
Yes, they seem to try to encircle the Russian forces. This I think could be the first major operation as the counterattacks before have been tactical ...
Yep. And for this you basically have to have measure of absolute poverty. Why I took this up is because if one let's say just looks at income inequali...
Bravo. But as you so well put it, this is the thinking of many here. Here the agency comes into view so well when you compare the fight the Ukrainian ...
No, he's genuinely being pro-Putin. Did you read through the his quotes that I gave? Likely not. Neither @"Isaac" or @"StreetlightX" or anybody else i...
Oh our forum Putinist has already extensively covered the evils of George Soros. :smile: That is the sad truth. I remember what a Finnish former MP pr...
It unfortunately looks to be a long, bloody war. Yes. Democracies can stay as democracies even during the war... but it will be tough. Martial laws ar...
One shouldn't feed a troll, but anyway. Selective troll memory part III: And that we already got your answer: you don't condemn the annexation of Crim...
I think that if Zelensky worked in Ukrainian media making films, there likely was an oligarch owning the media. Hence that part is the usual mudslingi...
Ukraine is winning at least in the West the information war. It was totally different in the confusion of 2014. And it has to be said that a lot of th...
Clearly I do. I've discussed him issues far enough. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck. Why don't you just look at what he says...
Don't know well the Ukrainian constitution... Yep. Talk about a postmodern twist. Or Karma. Announcing his candidacy and having to insist, it's not a ...
Some make similar arguments like you. Haven't been successful. You see, even if it comes close to be like the liar paradox, it isn't a paradox. It jus...
Leaders using that kind of rhetoric aren't immediately signing peace agreements. Documents of enemy surrender perhaps. Yet the war isn't going as earl...
Putin clearly stated before the invasion that he had no intension of invading Ukraine. Denazification I think was the term when the invasion had been ...
Similarly goes the civilian casualty figures. That happens when you fire rocket & artillery barrages at urban areas. And when you're out of wooden cas...
Yeah, this is a very stupid idea. Russia isn't the US. Putin doesn't need any backers for elections. He needs the support of the army and the intellig...
This is how the conflict can drag on for a long time... and that will put the human cost easily well beyond hundred thousand killed. Ukrainian and Rus...
After Sauli I guess we'll get an older Sanna Marin as President. She's bound to be the next. If she doesn't really fuck up. I just find it amusing tha...
As this is a philosophy forum, it think it is worth wile to ponder about morality or justifications. I think if you would understand that if the realp...
As a Finn watching Ukraine fight now Russia, I understand how Swedes felt during the winter of 1939-1940. (Swedish posters of the time) https://www.in...
When someone hasn't anything to counter your argumentation, then start the nasty ad hominems. After all, for some, they have to win debate. Not to lea...
From Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riF1szCa6Ho From Syria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_raow2c0j7c In Afghanistan in a war far shorter ...
My government has for the first time in it's history sent weapons to another country. So let's just understand Putin. He needed that sphere-of-influen...
Oh. So you think the "denazification" of Ukraine will be so easy at the end of a rifle? Whopee! That sounds like fun. All this for a land bridge!!! :r...
I am happy that you did that. Or that your wife and your smart daughter insisted on that. Never underestimate how precarious the acceptance of foreign...
Oh sure, how the war is going it surely won't be an Afghanistan for Russia. It will be much, much worse. In Afghanistan in 9 years of fighting Russian...
I think the bellicose rhetoric of "fortress Russia" will only end when there is a humiliating defeat and too many soldiers are killed in a war that ma...
They have already oil & gas pipelines to China and likely will build more: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/resizer/coDRBOZ9O9RjUJqqL7C-Pqi5Xug=/1500x1...
An oil embargo has been talked about by EU foreign ministers. For example Poland is openly demanding it and naturally many countries are opposing it. ...
Well, I guess Putin would be the first person declaring that! He's just protecting ethnic Russians and welcomes them who want to join mother Russia. J...
It's his rule that sucks. Many Europeans would just love to have a calm, peaceful and prosperous Russia, where entrepreneurs like Sergei Brin would st...
That's a good start of us agreeing on the picture. You do understand the difference between "in 2014 the US overthrew the Ukrainian government" and "i...
The only thing which is all Putin is that he surely made the choice to invade Ukraine. What I've said, and many others (perhaps you too agree with it)...
Benkei. That is exactly what I meant. Basically it's the Nuland Pyatt taped phone discussion and then saying that this is improper thing to do. And no...
Just check how close the Finnish border is from St Petersburg and Moscow. And how many wars can he handle? And aren't we forgetting that his most trus...
Why don't specifically tells us how the US overthrew the Ukrainian government. Because if it's that John McCain and others visited Ukraine among other...
Of course, for the like of you people defending their country from an invasion is warmongering. Why don't the silly Ukrainians just surrender to Putin...
