I call dibs on Rostov.
I'm going to ask my legislators if Wisconsin would annex Rostov-on-Don. It's a great location, temperate seaside. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: Apparently Zelenskyy has now also submitted an accelerated application to join NATO. Remind me as I’ve not had enough coffee, and only one lip of Copenhagen this morning. Was it NATO that wouldn’t allow countries to join if they had contested regions? OTOH, nobody is buying Putin’s bullshit. If that is the rule, I vote just waive it and get the ball rolling. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _disconnector_: What the Russian seem to have forgotten is that the Nazi logistics lines were chewed up by **Ukrainian** partisans. It's going to get awfully lonely on the Russian front once the snow starts to fall. And as someone pointed out in another thread, it gets cold in Ukraine too during the winter. Look at how Ukrainian troops and all the fleeing civilians were dressed last February/March. The Ukrainians fighting in their own country know what winter brings. |

For the moment I suspect the Ukrainian troops will be better equiped to keep on fighting in the cold. Provision of Russian forces in newly annexed areas seems to lacking all round and I would be suprised if winter gear is a exeption. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Great video as usual from 1420. Lots of good anecdotal information there. There are still decent people there who know what’s up. Problem is getting them to act to save themselves and their nation. As usual, we see the main problem with pro-war Russian opinion - it’s intellectual garbage. Its not even that it’s bigoted, it’s just garbage. The guy in the gray jacket pretty much epitomizes the rolling non-sequitor of political justification for the war. You could string together random words and phrases and have an equally cogent argument. At least in this one, the interviewer doesn’t let the dude off easy. Extremely obvious questions raise insoluble problems with the guy’s take on the war. And he knew it too. Most Russians (like Americans) get their news from government approved sources. Unlike Americans, Russians get arrested if they contradict the news. Independent thought and action are severely punished. Russian attitudes are the result of decades of false information. Garbage in, garbage out. How the hell would they know any different? The poverty and lack of any connection to the outside world that comprises most of Russia's rural communities is circa. 1930's America. We can't really blame a population that has been groomed their entire lives with lies. We can blame their leadership, because they know better. Russia rules like a dark age's tyrant, manufacturing threats that do not exist and killing anyone that gets in their way. The only reason that NATO exists is to deal with Russia's historically dysfunctional ways. If it were not for Russia, it would not exist. |

I think the moment there becomes a realistic possibility that the United States and NATO might actually go to war with Russia, that is the moment all of this bullshit ends. It is one thing when a nuclear armed power tries to strongarm their non-nuclear, smaller neighbor. It is another matter entirely when you are looking at the prospect of having to confront NATO itself, which is vastly superior to Russia and has its own nuclear weapons. |

Time for António Guterres to go in hard and deep, along with the rest of the UN member nations. Russia should be removed from the UNSC and they should also be branded as a state sponsor of terror by as many nations as possible. It is time to break it off in those twisted fucks. So what. Work with me here. I have no idea what the actual real world results would be. Russia doesn't give a fuck about causing their own people to die and starve so long as they eventually get to say they won this war against ukraine in spite of western help. Russia strong. So what if russia is removed from the UNSC and branded a state sponsor? |
