Russia Invades Ukraine
- Thread starter Tigers of Old
- Start date
And there's the first victory for "realpolitik"
Finland applies to join NATO
Meanwhile the Russians have been kicked out of Kyiv and have lost major battles in attempts to take other cities. They've fallen back to the east and are struggling to hold even territories in the Donbas.
Imagine if the Ukrainians had downed arms and just given him what he wanted?

What Putin is doing is laughably unlaughable....if you know what I mean. Their army, especially those Z tanks look like a war film from the early 20s.
Siding With Ukraine’s Far-Right, US Sabotaged Zelensky’s Peace Mandate
In 2019, Zelensky was elected on an overwhelming mandate to make peace with Russia. As Stephen F. Cohen warned that year, the US chose to side with Ukraine’s far-right and fuel war.

Good ol' Henry Kissenger. Bombed the sh1t out of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos but still lost the war. Now he wants Ukraine to cede territory to Russia.

Henry Kissinger: Ukraine must give Russia territory
Former US Secretary of State warns against the defeat of Putin as Western unity on sanctions frays badly
www.telegraph.co.uk
Another great thread from Kamil Galeev on Russian military bureaucracy, how they are using ethnic russian militias in the east and how these militias are being used as cannon fodder. Also how these militias are trying to use Russian bureaucratic protocols to get out of fighting.
Not only Kissinger arguing this solution. Also it is a similar view to that which is held by French President Macron. It’s the basis to his strategy of attempting to play peace maker.Good ol' Henry Kissenger. Bombed the sh1t out of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos but still lost the war.

Retired British Colonel Richard Kemp posed the rhetorical question. Would Macron give up the East flank of France and much of the French Mediterranean coast if faced with the same situation?

Of course he would. Macaroni's a cheese eating surrender monkey.
Difference I suppose is that France has nuclear weapons. At the conclusion of WWII - with France having faced a near death experience - De Gaulle set about developing France’s own independent nuclear deterrent. De Gaulle said to the French people, “Never again!”
France’s nuclear deterrent isn’t designed to necessarily win a war. But it is designed to not lose one.
Pity the Uke's gave back all their Russkie stock pile of nukes a while ago when they got their independence from the Soviet union. Old mate Putin on the ritz might have thought twice about invading if he was a fair chance of copping one of his own nukes shoved deep up the clacker in retaliation about now.

In actual real news the EU will cut intake of Russian oil by 75%. Short-term this has the perverse effect of driving up the oil price but longer term hastens three shift to renewables. Russia really needs to change its economy but kleptocratic dictatorships find it hard to change and innovate.
This isn't helped by professionals fleeing Russia as fast as they can, 4 million this year already.

‘Criminal adventure’: Ukraine war fuels Russia’s brain drain
Nearly 4 million left Russia in the first three months of 2022, including IT specialists, journalists and researchers.
Harry wants them to give it back. They aren't a real country anyway, just part of Russia.
I wish them luck and hope they get in. Ukrainians are good people who are unfortunately suffering under poor leadership.
