@John78 I have no doubt there has already been a lot of k____ppings of Ukrainian civilians into Russia for t_____e and death. Even the war crimes already discovered inside Ukraine is more than likely the tip of the iceberg sadly. Graves will be discovered many years from now and we will probably never really know the true extent of it all.
It is a crime that the general Russian public can’t see what we see. Even if and I mean ‘‘EVEN IF’’ you balanced Russian media reporting against Western media coverage of this illegal war you would STILL see how bad this is for Putin. I know I have said this before but this was such an incredible catastrophic mistake on Putin’s part. I have no doubt he learned that a few months ago and now all we hear is, Putin is ready to enter peace talks, Putin is ready to enter peace talks, Putin is ready to enter peace talks when in actual fact that’s not going to happen. Why? Because Zelenskiy is also in a difficult position. He has to see this through all the way or even one of his own will put a bullet in his head. That said, I think he himself wants to retake what belongs to Ukraine.
Ukraine wants to join NATO like so many and although Ukraine never met the criteria which Putin also knew mainly down to sloppy Ukrainian politics, this war will be the ultimate wake up call to doing things properly. I think it will happen but not anytime soon. Yet again Putin fu*ked up because Ukraine knows it won’t happen until all rules can be met. This is a reasonably good explanatory video.
This also shows why using Nukes in any capacity would be totally insane for Putin.
The US Army’s 101st Airborne Division had not been stationed in Europe since World War II. Now 4,700 soldiers from this unit are securing the NATO border with Ukraine.
A total of around 4,700 soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division were sent from their home base in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to reinf___e NATO’s eastern flank. Colonel Edwin Matthaidess told CBS News that he and his troops are the US f___es closest to the fighting in Ukraine. They would keep a close eye on the Russian f___es.
The commanders of the Screaming Eagles have repeatedly told CBS News that they are “always ready to fight.” They are primarily there to defend NATO territory, but in the event of an escalation of fighting or an attack on NATO, they are fully prepared “to cross the border into Ukraine.”
The fear of an escalation in the Ukraine war is great. At NATO, one never tires of emphasizing that the merger is a defensive alliance and that one carefully weighs up when one would become a direct war party.
The Russian presenter Vladimir Solovyov, a confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin and one of the faces of the state broadcaster Rossiya 1, repeatedly plays with precisely this fear of an escalation. Also in the current edition of his own talk show. Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Minister, shared the relevant excerpt on Twitter.
In it, Solovyov says of the war in Ukraine: “This is de facto World War III. In fact, we are at war with NATO.” One guest replied that Russia was afraid of calling the fighting in Ukraine a war.
Solovyov replies: "I’m not afraid. I say this is a war with NATO.”
In fact, at the beginning of the attack on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin criminalized the word “war” in connection with Ukraine and called it a “special operation”. A narrative that will probably become increasingly difficult to argue in the face of heavy casualties and partial mobilization.
I do not know whether this has been a topic already. I have never seen any of the (russian) VHTV participants engage in informing themselves about the current situation in the Ukraine. There seem to be a complete disinterest although (some) russians are engaged in war crimes and (others) being k__led in the battlefield. But maybe I miss something here. Would be interested in your thoughts.
non, tu n’as rien manqué : ils sont là pour se faire de l’argent, boire boire et pour baiser.
L’Ukraine et le ukrainiens (morts ou vivants) ils s’en foutent royalement puisqu’ils ont des spectateurs
C’est triste mais c’est comme ça. Tant que tu n’es pas directement concerné… la guerre, bah elle est loin.
yes that is how it seems to be. Although I joined VHTV for other reasons, VHTV is an interesting mirror into the russian society. I guess that a revolution supportad by the majority of the russian people is very far away.
