Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Berzerker]

The USA is bombing Yemen for interfering in Israel's attack on Gaza... an attack that is now before an int'l court on the charge of genocide

Biden could be named a codefendant... just gets better and better.

the deal back in early '22 to end the war

You mean the deal where putin surrendered and agreed to withdraw from all Ukrainian territory ?

[Berzerker]

Who surrendered depends on perspective, the Ukrainian peace negotiator described Putin as panicked over making the mistake of attacking and desperate to make a deal. But the deal was basically Minsk giving self-determination to the Donbas with Crimea on the table in the future. If that happens the people of the Donbas and Crimea win, but right now they all lost. Yay America! Best $$$ we could spend. Killing off thousands of Nazis and Russians with pieces of paper.

[Ming]

Again Berz... produce the actual DEAL you keep claiming. Putin has consistently said what his goals are... over and over again. And nothing you keep sprouting matches up to them, and you can't prove anything. And you keep painting Putin as the hero... yet his troops are killing and raping those people.
He doesn't give a damn about them... only the land.
But you will never blame Putin for invading another country. He's your hero and savior.

Gonzalo Lira died in a Ukrainian prison. He was an American journalist arrested for reporting on the war. I think over a hundred journalists have been killed in Gaza. Thats a tough job rip

Meh, he wasn't a journalist but simply a russian propagandist, maybe even a russian spy - not one to cry about.

Yemen is getting bombed for attacking merchant shipping.

[Edit:] sorry, Yemen is being bombed by the US, UK, Netherlands and Australia for attacking merchant shipping.

KSA and UAE have been bombing them since before that.

[pchang]

Houthis also tried attacking US Navy ships.

[BeBMan]

Russia might chime in soon.

They are indiscriminately attacking Red Sea Shipping. How do you construe that as "interfering with Israel's attack on Gaza"??

As to Genocide, if you believe that, how is Putin not also guilty of genocide? Maybe everybody should take a page from the Houthi rebel playbook and attack Black Sea ships to interfere in Russia's attack on Ukraine?

Boris Akunin: Russia designates author ‘foreign agent’

​ Russia has designated Boris Akunin, one of the country's most popular novelists, a foreign agent. Mr Akunin was added to a register of "terrorists and extremists" by Russia's justice ministry over his objections to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The 67-year-old is well-known for his longstanding criticism of President Vladimir Putin. Prior to the war, Mr Akunin's detective novels were best-sellers in Russia, until authorities banned his books. The justice ministry said in a statement that Mr Akunin - whose real name is Grigory Chkhartishvili - "opposed the special military operation in Ukraine". The ministry added that Mr Akunin had "disseminated false information aimed at creating a negative image" of Russia and its army. It also accused him of helping to raise funds to support the Ukrainian military.​
On the day Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Mr Akunin wrote: "Russia is ruled by a psychologically deranged dictator and worst of all, it obediently follows his paranoia." Responding to the justice ministry's announcement late on Friday, Mr Akunin - who lives in London - wrote: "Terrorists declared me a terrorist". The "foreign agent" label, which is reminiscent of the term "enemies of the people" of the Soviet era, requires those who are branded "foreign agents" to identify themselves as such on social media and other publications. It also puts burdensome financial reporting requirements on them. Many Russian cultural figures have fled the country since Moscow began its military campaign against Ukraine. Those who stayed face strict censorship laws.​

A collaborator working right out in the open? Our propagandists hide behind a flotilla of news/social media turds owned by rich people gaming the system for profit.

They murdered one of their own peace negotiators as a traitor

Their ability to interfere is limited... Their interference is the effect, the cause is the Israeli attack on Gaza.

Its an attempted blockade but I dont know that it is indiscriminate or if US ships have been attacked (they probably will be soon if not). The blockade is in response to Israel's attack on Gaza. If it succeeds the powers that be may pressure Israel to stop and allow aid in. I call that interference.

The S African charge of genocide establishes the definition, acts and intent. The acts in Gaza are there for everyone to see, the intent comes from the speeches of Israeli politicians, military, and bureaucrats with big mouths. Your analogy requires us to believe Russians hate ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine as much as Zionists hate Palestinians. I think they hate just about everyone who aint them, that was one of things I liked about zealous Jews - they didn't want to convert the world. How on god's green earth Judaism gave rise to two major religions bent on violently saving the world is another matter.

​
No, a nutcase that had fantasies about russian superiority wich made him interesting for the Ukrainians.

​Oh, you mean fox news and other trumpist outlets ? Besides those, the news medias are quite reliable.

​They murdered one of their own peace negotiators as a traitor

Well, yeah, putin has murdered many people and I'm not specially surprised that he probably has killed some of his "peace negotiators" when they failed.

I prefer their eulogy... The Saudis murdered a Wapo journalist, Ukraine murdered Lira, and 3 US presidents are murdering Julian Assange
