Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[BlackCat]

What Russian sources have I used? I've seen the BBC interview a sniper, forensic evidence of the crime scene, and live police radio traffic all showing gunmen fired on cops and protesters. The cops retreated so the snipers kept shooting protesters. Odesa soon followed as the right wing cracked down on dissent. Western media starts noticing a 'problem' while Azov attacks eastern Ukrainian protesters. I've seen a few of the interviews with Right Sector et al bragging about how they were the muscle behind the revolution. I gotta believe Obama knew what was coming if he didn't outright order it, but whatever, he did embrace the coup and help it succeed. And then he and Joe armed these fine people to kill protesters along the border with Russia.

So what specifically do you want documented? Nazis killing or attacking Ukrainians? Open your eyes, they've been doing it for years with our tax dollars. The people in the Donbas must roll their eyes when US presidents lecture the world about the war on terror.

You keep up talking about this "BBC interview" but there are no evidence of nazi involvement in that - more likely russian involvement. As I said, prove it without using russian sources.

his source is in the flood zone

Hasn't western media spent months hyping a spring offensive? The reason this war wasn't prevented much less stopped is because of foreign pressure.

The real irony here is that as VP, Biden didn't have the power to halt payments to foreign powers until his personal bidding was done.

[Berzerker]

Alexander Vindman reported Trump's call because he used weapons to get his investigation. If Trump never tied the weapons to his request he wouldn't have been impeached. Ofc the Dems are hypocrites about what he did, they were telling Ukraine to investigate Trump and Biden used a billion $ bribe to fire the prosecutor harassing Burisma. Ukraine did interfere in our election and Trump wanted that investigated.

There is no retreat for Russian conscripts who don't even want to be there.

If we set aside the whole "whataboutism" thing, the Ukrainian prosecutor was accused of corruption at the time. It was only a few months ago that more Ukrainian officials were dismissed on corruption grounds. Making sure that the money being sent is mostly spent on what it was supposed to be spent on (like say name brand military spec tires) is in the national interest. So no. Not the same.

More Maga nonsense. He was impeached for using his office for personal gains.
You can argue all you want about Biden doing this or that, but it doesn't change the fact that Trump abused his power for personal gains.
He was not impeached for the weapons. Nice try, but total BS.

The irony being Biden literally did the same thing as V.P..

[-Jrabbit]

Saying Trump's impeachment was over foreign policy is pure effing BS, Berz.

Azov is bad. I've never said otherwise, and I've never praised them in this fight. However, sometimes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". War makes strange bedfellows. Sometimes you to have look at the larger picture, and in this case, Putin and his dictatorship is the bigger picture.

Indeed. And also, Azov is nowhere near as influential as Berz' usual rehash of Russian propaganda bits wants to depict it.

They are basically a brand of fringe/ultranationalist/neonazi which exist to some extent in lotsa countries, west or not. My main criticism would be that they are part of Ukraine's National Guard. But they certainly don't run the country.

The same brand of more-or-less-openly-fascist stuff exists in Russia (just arguing from a Greater-Russia POV), and not only in fringe groups or "thinkers" like Dugin, it is clearly present in Putin's thinking and actions.

My Dad has told me time and again, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." Putin and Ukraine is the current bite. Azov is a much smaller bite and we'll chew them up later; but for right now, they're helping us chew this bite.

The actual events of 2014 instead of fantasies written in Moscow.

This guy has already called that the offensive failed, and said that it was only launched due to foreign pressure lol.

I'll take the word of people in the flood zone over that of a retired military guy in the US

4m in, Col Daniel Davis said Ukraine was shelling flood survivors being evacuated

it is believe the opposite day

Most of the videos I've seen the rescuers have Ukrainian markings and/or are speaking Ukrainian.

Do these guys have actual proof? Or are they going by whatever Russia is reporting.
