Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[BeBMan]

Wondering if it's still worth reading Tolstoy's "Special Military Operation and Peace"

[Uncle Sparky]

The President of Ukraine was at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Right in the building making a case against Russia... Putin needs to go there to set the record straight. Under oath. In a glass booth for his safety.

Most of what comes out of Prigozin's mouth is posturing and noise and shouldn't be taken at face value.

[Dinner]

LOL! That is twice he did that now.

Wagner says they got more ammo, so they are staying.

There doesn't seem to be much coverage in Russia about this, and it makes Ukraine look strong:

Perun has a nice little video about these thingies.

Many armchair generals may disagree on this, but hey, the guy is a army guy that specialize in the subject so he may have a point.

I'm surprised it aint blocking everyone's view

The moral high ground is not a geographic location and visible from around the world. If you lived in the Donbas in 2014 when the man you elected was driven from office by a right wing coup and Azov showed up to shell your town would you join them in their righteous cause?

I would not recognize seceeding from Ukraine as any kind of moral high ground in response to the coup. I would recognize the paramilitaries seizing public buildings and seceeding in my and my neighbor's names in response to the coup as the problem. I would not regard the Ukrainian coup headed government paramilitaries that were sent to fight the separatist paramilitaries as the problem. I would certainly regard the Russian FSB carpetbaggers who took over the separatist leadership as a problem as well.

Maybe it's not the donbas but your hatred if neocons and their agendas that is really blocking your view?

I would bet money Russia did the fake drone attack. At least some faction inside Russia. It was extremely minor so it could have been a home made symbolic stunt.

Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself... Marsha Marsha Marsha keeps hitting herself, first the pipeline and now the Kremlin

Is this a response to BlackCat's video?

One of Serb's sources is Judging Freedom on youtube, the host ('Judge' Napalitano) is informed on a variety of relevant subjects and he asks good questions of people with even more information coming from different perspectives.

Just a minor caveat - I don't consider Serb as a "armchair general" if he responds - he's just a poor russian joyfully swallowing whatever the russian ministry of war is saying

Previous deputy defense minister is now taking a leadership role at Wagner. Perhaps a succession plan is taking form. Wagner is supposed to leave Bakhmut by May 10. They did not get enough toys so they have decided to stop playing and go home.

I don't think they can freely pick up their ball and go home, there's the small detail that PMCs are illegal in Russia.

[Berzerker]

I didn't even know about Ukrainian Nazis before youtube, but now that I do its just one more reason to thank god I didn't vote for Obama, Trump and Biden.
