That table is so James Bond. Push the button, Vlad.
Given the stupidity of the invasion, it's more Austin Powers than James Bond.

This image will go down in history books. Putin has literally isolated himself from everyone else. Russian citizens don't back this war, his cabinet probably doesn't back this war (at least not voluntarily), a few oligarchs don't back this war, the rest of Europe doesn't back this war, etc.
That seating distance screams like someone afraid of being assassinated by one of the keys to power at the table.

I remember that time when Trump said Germany needed to step up it's financial commitment to NATO and buying energy from Russia was not a good idea. It only took a Russian invasion of a country that then VP Joe Biden extorted in order to help his son out so Germany would start spending more money.


So, you're attention starved for being called a moron and a dipshit in the other threads, so you came inhere to stir shit up?

Brandon. You suck.

Now fuck off.

Hey if we make it to 2024 you can say I told you so. Then you can ban all liberals from ever voting again so you get your end goal even faster than you expected. Happy?

The MiG-29 from Poland should be able to stop these. Destroy the first 50m of vehicles and the rest can't pass. All the military vehicles Russia is sending in *have* to use the roads. The ground is not frozen solid - its buggy as hell.

Meanwhile in Russia... hehehe

I assume if they're out in the open like this, then Russia probably has the air secure.

A couple of interesting reads, both of which serves as good introduction to the thinking at the top of the Russian administration and subsequent planning and action in Ukraine. A book that is said to have 'inspired' Putin and his political underlings;


And a realistic assessment on the invasion of Ukraine by a retired Russian general before the war. (link autotranslates to English). The article also covers mainstream thinking at the top of the administration at that point in time.

Predictions of bloodthirsty political scientists

Both excellent reads and really explains the sheer amount of group think (and how dangerous it is) at the Kremlin and associated institutions.

Get a load of you, trying to bullshit like you care about humanitarian needs. The only reason you care is you've got a throbbing war boner.

Nope he’s either a willingly or unknowingly propaganda puppet (useful idiot assuming it’s unknowingly)
