[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[portlock seagull]

Just about everything they do in their system of control and propaganda messaging is similar to Hitlers Nazis. And they constantly accuse Ukraine of that which they are guilty of.

A few months old but an insteresting look at one of the ideologues behind Putins brand of fascism.... And it definitely is fascism.

Nothing new in either examples, as old as mankind itself. Just the tools available that change.

Talking about "Putin dying", I wouldn't be surprised if he substituted one of his body doubles to be the dead man, and headed off incognito into the sunset.

He needs to do this to keep The History Channel going with new conspiracy based programmes. Otherwise known as complete bollocks.

He’d be caught within months. You can’t hide anymore. And there’s not a person on earth who wouldn’t rat him out for the right sum.

Putin’s brand of “leadership” does not inspire loyalty.

100%, once he loses power he’s toast.

Let's hope so....

An Axis of stains on the globe - Russia, Iran and North Korea. Much in common including the literal murder of any dissenting voices.

You’d hope India would look at this and go “yeah, maybe we’re not siding with the goodies here actually…”

Considering the horrendous things Modi and his associates have been complicit in over the years, I doubt they'll be too bothered

I agree. However, that Russia is having to turn to NK for missiles is a good sign for Ukraine.

NK is a rinky-dinky, tinpot shithole that builds cardboard skylines to try and fool the South into thinking it has the capacity to build modern conurbations.

The Jong Uns bankrupted their own country years ago building useless missiles and vast underground complexes. They built these underground cities because they know any serious aggression aimed at the West would result in total surface annihilation of the country.

Relying on that place for missiles is like taking your VHS tapes into cash converters for some money for the leccy meter.

Comparing killed or injured, to just killed. But even if you take into account somewhere around 54k wounded in Afghanistan, it's still pretty shocking.

188,000 Russian soldiers killed or injured ? Collateral damage as far a a psychotic delusional megalomaniac is concerned.

I wonder what the tipping point is for Putin's overthrow ?

500K dead ? A million ?

Considering the amount of people the Russian secret service have killed in this country without response, it is a brave move coming here....

I noticed this thread had gone rather quiet (no new posts for over a week), so I suppose now's a good a time as any to say I AM worried about this supposed Russian offensive that they're planning. We can't bank on them being as useless and as over-confident as they were last year, and as well as any tactical improvements in true Russian style they'll be more than happy to buy success with expendable troops.

I just hope that if the news is bad that Western resolve doesn't waver. Possibly why Zelensky is here, to prepare us for some setbacks.
