Prediction Thread: When Will Russia Conquer Ukraine

All are Trumpists

We know that Le Pen owes money to Russian banks and that Trump gets a lot of his money from Russians (his son Eric said so). We also know that both of them and their supporters are quite soft on Putin. Coincidence?

I think that in the future the democracies need to be more careful of corruption that takes place outside of their borders. Corruption is a contagion and spreads.

Would this be an OK place to petition the Admins to release Serb from his ban? I mean I feel bad for him and understand why he was acting the way he was. How would we react if thousands and thousands of our soldiers were being killed each month of a 3 day war?

[dannubis]

By not supporting the mass murdering of civilians ?
**** Serb and his Greek ***** boy.

(CNN) Russian troops in the occupied city of Melitopol have stolen all the equipment from a farm equipment dealership -- and shipped it to Chechnya, according to a Ukrainian businessman in the area.

But after a journey of more than 700 miles, the thieves were unable to use any of the equipment -- because it had been locked remotely.

They've probably seen those images of Russian army vehicles being towed away by Ukrainian tractors and wanted to incorporate any agrarian equipment into their own military to increase combat effectiveness

Just that some evil folks locked everything

There's lots of media speculation that the Kremlin might turn this so-called Special Ops into an "official" war, and announce either full or partial mobilization on May 9. So rather than announcing victory Putin would de facto admit failure so far.

If true it would certainly give him access to more cannonfodder, but not instantly solve the obvious probs the Russian military has displayed so far.

I'm also curious if people will be allowed to call a war a war again.

Umh #cough# Washington is a cesspit of corruption. So much corruption that hit has a massive surplus of corruption to be exported all over the world.

Washington could teach despots a thing or two, or three, about corruption.

It’s really more a problem if perception and human nature. Most people would rather have most of a small pie than a tiny sliver of a huge pie, even if the tiny sliver is actually bigger than the small pie.

I just have no idea. Crooks and liars on both sides. Can't trust anything said.

Then go away

[Elok]

I concur. This is excellent advice.

[Berzerker]

[Kidishious]

Then go away

Who do you trust Biden or Putin? lmao.

[N35t0r]

Go away. You're annoying.

[Kidishious]

So you do trust Biden. No, I already knew. You're a joke.

[N35t0r]

Go away. You're annoying.

Need to be careful of corruption in your own country dude.

[Kidishious]

Unless you were complaining about the US corrupting Ukraine because they have done plenty of that.
