While I enjoy seeing defeats for the Russian advance, there’s some private in there that has no idea what he signed up for and is now dying in one of the most horrific ways possible, being cooked alive inside of a metal container. This whole thing sucks and Fuck Putin
edit: apparently it’s not from today, but still horrific way to die and an unrelated fuck you to putin
I have target coordinates for a us false flag attack.
Orlando, Fla
If they surrender, the Ukrainians should ship them off to the far west of the country and treat them well. Word will get back to the other front line soldiers.
remember putin’s cgi hypersonic video that targeted florida?
I wonder what the Russians are doing in the disputed territories? Like what if all this is a feint to distract the Ukrainians while he takes the entire disputed territory and fortifies it? Then he leaves and claims victory.
that’s not in his range at all.
this is looking very similar to nikolai ii’s pre-revolution war with japan failure.
Supposedly there hasn’t been that much movement on the battle line there.
Seems like an unlikely but possible outcome. The assumption is they’re all-in together on their oligarchy doings but that hasn’t really been tested. And what about the military? Maybe they don’t all appreciate the wisdom of Putin’s grand plan.
Holy shit
I think uncertainty over how nice whatever comes next would be to the oligarchs is too much of a risk. Putin made them near, if not trillions.
Yeah but what has he done for them lately?
I’ve always been fascinated with Kamchatka.

Blue checkmark but I dunno. This sounds weird.
I think I’d take the negotiations over the phone.
Although Russia suffered a number of defeats, Emperor Nicholas II was convinced that Russia could win if it fought on; he chose to remain engaged in the war and wait for the outcomes of certain key naval battles. After the hope of victory was quelled, he continued the war to preserve the dignity of Russia by averting a “humiliating peace.” Russia ignored Japan’s willingness early on to agree to an armistice and rejected the idea of bringing the dispute to the Arbitration Court at The Hague. The war eventually concluded with the Treaty of Portsmouth (5 September [O.S. 23 August] 1905), mediated by US President Theodore Roosevelt. The complete victory of the Japanese military surprised international observers and transformed the balance of power in both East Asia and Eastern Europe, resulting in Japan’s emergence as a great power and Russia’s decline in prestige and influence in Eastern Europe. The loss of life without victory and the humiliating defeat for the Russian Empire contributed to growing domestic unrest which culminated in the 1905 Russian Revolution and accelerated the disintegration of the Russian autocracy. The war also marked the first victory of an Asian country against a Western power in modern times.[6]
Yep.
