Take a chill pill buddy Russia is not Iraq, Libya or Afghanistan . You need friends in the military and economists to tell you what most of us know, a war with Russia is suicide even without conventional weapons. Sanctions against Russia would destroy the European economies and the accompanied retaliation by Russia would send the world economy to a recession because of high gas and oil prices. Just do a simple research on who between the Chinese and us here has suffered the most economically from the silly trade war. Inflation in the US is at 7.5% while it is 1.5% in China while the trade deficit has gone up more than 30% in favor of China. This Ukrainian issue will end the same way the Cuban crisis ended where the US will give Putin most of what he wanted but quietly like they did when they removed those Jupiter missiles from Turkey but agreed to make it secret to save face. If you have been following what the European leaders are saying lately including by the German Chancellor today ,Ukraine's membership of Nato wont happen any time during his rule. So don't get too exited by the madness being peddled by the military industrial complex as they make billions out of arms sales. Last year alone those fuckers got 400 billion out of the 700 plus billion defense budget. Lockheed alone received more money than the state department so you know why diplomacy is not good business for them. European companies are so intertwined with Russian business I was surprised that Italy alone has almost 500 companies involved with Russia alone , now imagine how large that number is for Germany.
I will leave you with a military point of view from a military guy for you to educate yourself before you get carried away by the cool aide you are being fed by our fellow Americans.

This was high chess game. Biden called putin bluff and united nato and their allies to put pressure on putin. He goofed big time. Biden leveled it with Americans letting them know that war was the last option but if war is forced on him he knows the cost.
Putin is trying to run away from his own mess at home. Covid has decimated his economy and any trust Russians had on him keeping the lights on in Russia. He know has to go full dictatorial to avoid summer of discontent in Russia
He has now to eat up the mobilization cost of over 100k troops. All America did was threaten him with embargo on gas sales.
The difference of someone experienced in diplomacy is they say less and achieve more. If this was Trump he would have been all over barking like a rabid dog

BS - Russia has no capacity to wage a war against USA. it can only try to bully her former colonies but they would foolish to engage US. One thing with US is that it done with the nonsense of fighting long drawn wars.
Afghanistan, IRAQ were quick wins by the military.. the only thing that failed was Nation building in Afghanistan. Otherwise if was a matter of winning militarily that was won within the first few weeks of that war
Russia Economy is shit. Putin is only surviving because he has the gun behind his peoples head otherwise he would be dead. This summer may be the beginning of his end. He has now been exposed and if there is anyone in Russia especially within his inner circle who is ambitious time to hit him is now. I wont be suprised the military just sends him a note during summer vacation not to return to moscow

Did you even read that analysis on the link I posted or now we are supposed to believe in fantasies? I can post several articles written by former military guys who basically say the same thing. A war with Russia even without nuclear weapons is suicidal and unwinnable. Now forget the military aspect and listen to this discussion about the economic impact from an economist. I hope this time you will at least take some time to listen and then talk about it from a position of knowledge rather than ignorance. The days of us in the US bullying others are coming to an end. Even Kenya this time at the UN security council meeting refused to side with the US and our UN ambassador gave a well articulated speech/lesson of the previous craziness during the cold war where African countries were used as pawns in the fight between elephants. Go watch it .

I am doubtful. About Putin calling off an attack. That would seem stupid. Because that leaves Ukraine the latitude to rearm, and NATO legitimate arguments to be more involved.
I feel like he has boxed himself in and he has to show something to his domestic audience.
Putin lost badly no way he was going to win. A war with Ukraine would have imploded Russia itself. Its was like US attacking small bro UK. Putin has reached end of his strategic thinking.
Unfortunately most Kenyans have been brainswashed by the western media . Lets go to Putins objective . He basically wanted 2 things Deter NATOs expansion and secondly make sure Minsk agreements are implemented.
Did he achieve this .Well he has brought the western partners to the negotiation table . They will have to make written agreements and Ukraine Perwsident has finally agreed that they will give Donbass autonomy.
https://www.rt.com/russia/549422-special-status-republics-donbass/
Now as usual western partnerts have been exposed , truth of the matter a war with Russia would be a lose lose situation for both parties . Russia has Nuclear weapons and it would be plain stupid to go to war with such a country .
Putin never wanted to wage war with Ukraine he simply wanted Western partners to take Russia security concerns seriously. Now western media is full of hype that they have won . Truth of the matter they have been exposed and actually this will lead to Bidens election loss. The running away from Ukraine was really psychologically blow. It has destroyed Ukraines economy and made western partners look bad . They talk something different and do something different

Nobody except Russia interested in battle right now. Biden not looking for embarrassment so looks best way out, sanctions. US got smarter with time. Putin stuck in stone age war era with nuclear warheads. Today wars very different. Biden got it right this time and NATO pulling the right strings. Soon Putin gas will be declared unsustainable not green enough and trouble begins. Now hes playing armed comedian.

He has achieved two objectives thus far, he has wrecked Ukraine's economy and compelled the West to take national security objectives seriously. Russia wants Ukraine become a neutral buffer state between it and NATO. Many EU countries are open to that notably Germany
His brinksmanship was not a waste.

Correct. Putin is still in the era of putting boots on the ground to take territory. Those type of wars went out of fashion 70 years ago. He should consult yelstin and Gorbachev. He has really embarrassed Russia. When the only Ally you have is Luka Lukushenko people start questioning your maturity. Putin should stick to cyber wars.
People think Hamellica has no hardware. Even there can show Putin dust. Combined with NATO and sanctions things go haywire.

When will people accept that Russian is super-power with serious nuclear heads and 10 percent of earth land (twice larger than the US). It's appear western europe have a problem accepting and respecting Russia...but have no problem kneeling down to the Yankees!
This ego and dick measuring is needless. Russia, China, and US are now untouchable. Not by anyone. US can never fight Russia. Russia can never fight China. China can never fight US. It would be a MAD war.
Those three countries can invade any country unilaterally and nothing can be done to them. Maybe those with nuclear heads are safe - the rest of us - we are at their mercies.
Ukraine and eastern Europe remain Russian biatch. China can walk to Taiwan and beat them blue. Nothing will be done to them by the US - who pretends to be a global policeman.
Even ignoring that they are part of NATO, their interests align better with the US than with Russia(in its current incarnation at least). It's possible that can change if Trumpy authoritarian types somehow find their way into power in most of those countries.

Ukraine is lost for Russia and many of the Eastern European countries that are in NATO or in the EU like Poland and the Baltic states will never look East again. Even the smaller countries like Georgia will be very carefull when dealing with Russia.
Russia is a military power, but an economic dwarf. Unlike China which is an economic and military power, Russia has taken the complete wrong way. Under Putin only the military has prospered and a few people close to Putin. The rest of the country is third world, but with freezing temperatures.When will people accept that Russian is super-power with serious nuclear heads and 10 percent of earth land (twice larger than the US).

Russia is super aggressive but when war happens and all are aggressive equation tilts. Maybe say if China join Russia ala WW1 which is likely. China cannot risk economic and military war with US and EU same time. Will be reduced to nothing. War is nasty all over.

How does he gain by wrecking Ukraine's economy? I see that as loss. Because he loses whatever little soft power he had with Ukraine. Ukraine will look even harder westwards for direction.
NATO was not keen on Ukraine, so he gains a "victory" at great cost that he already had for free. He probably is more worried about Ukraine joining the EU than NATO. A thriving liberal democracy on Russia's doorstep is bad contrast to the mafia state that is Russia.
His behavior also strengthens the Western alliance. The notion that Russia was a receding threat gone, they redouble their focus on NATO.

An economically weak Ukraine won't be able to arm and pose a threat to Russia first, it is useful tactic to scare other countries - we can destroy your economy just by amassing troops on your border thus paralyzing it. This is a grey area Russians excel in. They foment conflicts and freeze them. Russia thinks like a 19th century power, they only comprehend hard power. They were basically strafing civilians in Syria with no repercussions, no UN security council resolutions stopped them.
Thriving liberal democracy thing is Western conceit, don't buy it.
Ukrainians never loved Russians since Stalin's forced collectivization campaigns led to mass starvation of Ukrainians.

An economically strong Ukraine would not pose a military threat to Russia either. The other former Soviet satellites, bordering Russia, except Belarus, are already in NATO, and are not leaving just because Russia is threatening Ukraine.
Ukraine a would-be natural ally for Russia(they are the same effing people) has somehow been pushed away by Putin. That's basically like shooting yourself in the foot.
From a Military point of view. Russia is defeated already
If Russia was to invade Ukraine then finally America would get a opportunity to hit Russia soil for the first time. Simply they would use the war as proxy to destabilise Russia,Putin knows this there was no way he was going to win invading Ukraine.Of course he would have captured Kiev but when the insurgency started thats when Russia and its military would feel the heat ,America was really craving for this war to happen,what happened to Russia forces in Chechnya would be much worse in Ukraine,This gamble by Putin seriously exposed his underbelly this was foolish honestly he actually even stood at embarrassing China his new buddy.

Russia has everything going for it military...US spend gazillion in military but Russian beat them.What people don't want to acknowledge is Russian very high quality education that produces the best mathematicians.Google founder was born in Moscow.. nobody can touch Russian in maths..that is what the western world will never acknowledge..those crazy brilliant Russians produce best weapon like hilter did.If Russia was to invade Ukraine then finally America would get a opportunity to hit Russia soil for the first time.

The Treasury Department released a more detailed list of the U.S. sanctions shortly after Biden�s speech. The department said that its restrictions will drastically undercut the ability of Russian lending giant Sberbank and VTB Bank to operate.
�On a daily basis, Russian financial institutions conduct about $46 billion worth of foreign exchange transactions globally, 80 percent of which are in U.S. dollars,� Treasury said in a release. �The vast majority of those transactions will now be disrupted.�
It also said it will target families close to Russian President Vladimir Putin to put pressure on Moscow to end its military assault. Individuals named in the list include Putin ally and former chief of staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Ivanov and his son. Igor Sechin, another of Putin�s closest allies and the CEO of Rosneft, one of the globe�s largest publicly traded oil companies, is being targeted along with his son.
Russia is Kaput! When you surgically wipe out Russia from doing business in Yen, Dollars, Pounds, and Euros in the global market place, $46 Billion in foreign exchange is debilitating.

2-3 Months from now is when we will analyze this war after Putin goes for Kiev and insurgency starts. No way Russia will survive,Putin has just 650 Billion dollar reseve puny for a country like Russia,if they want to suck Chinese dicks for support then no problems but ordinary Russian will never go for that Russians are racist and iltime has come for them to worship Chinese lets see how long the love affair goes.

I sense we are going to see Western Europe arming up in a way we haven't seen since the cold war. This more so in light of the fact that America may only be a partially reliable depending on whether MAGAts are in power or not.
How is Putin the reason ? Was Putin in Power when Poland ,Hungary and Romania joined NATO.
When the Baltic states joined NATO ,NATO was all singing Putin praises.
NATO is expanding because simply Americans want to Colonize Europeans and are after Subdividing Russia.
We have a hard headed President by the name of Biden who thinks armchair tactics work. By the time he realises he should have sat down and talked to resolve issues he will be out of office or something catastrophic will happen.

Finland now has plenty of reasons to seriously consider joining NATO.💬#Zakharova: We regard the Finnish government’s commitment to a military non-alignment policy as an important factor in ensuring security and stability in northern Europe.

I sense we are going to see Western Europe arming up in a way we haven't seen since the cold war. This more so in light of the fact that America may only be a partially reliable depending on whether MAGAts are in power or not.
How is Putin the reason ? Was Putin in Power when Poland ,Hungary and Romania joined NATO.
When the Baltic states joined NATO ,NATO was all singing Putin praises.
NATO is expanding because simply Americans want to Colonize Europeans and are after Subdividing Russia.
We have a hard headed President by the name of Biden who thinks armchair tactics work. By the time he realises he should have sat down and talked to resolve issues he will be out of office or something catastrophic will happen.

Putin is in charge when Crimea is annexed. Finland, hitherto happy to be neutral, now sees the risks of not being a part of NATO in stark relief. Try to keep up.
Even in the Crimea issue, Americans can be blamed for a lot. They sponsored a coup against the elected pro-Russian govt, replaced it with one eager for NATO and Russia responded by taking Crimea. If the US weren't involved in that part of the world, a lot of this would not be happening. The perception that the Russians are just aggressive against their neighbors for no reason comes from not looking at American moves in the region. Everything Russia is doing is to check the U.S., not it's neighbors per se.
In the meantime, NATO started supplying weapons, and air defense systems; 20 hours later, 800 Russian soldiers armed to the teeth killed. Bodies littering the streets but cannot post grotesque images here

When things get tough, Russia will turn to its go to move. Indiscriminate bombardment of cities.
You seem not to understand Russias objective. If thats what they wanted they would have already destroyed Kyiv and many cities from Day 1. Like what U.S. does in every war they have been involved in from Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
Russia want a Military neutral Ukraine, remove and prosecute current and former Ukraine leaders who led a Genocide in Eastern Ukraine and Have DPR and LPR functioning as Independent states.

OR I do. But you can't figure that out.
In the morning, it was 450 dead. The new Biden sanctions submitted few hours ago forced Russia to escalate negotiations. Putin will soon evaporate over $500 billion from economy!
I think SWIFT is next, but the threat has already forced Russia for talks/diplomacy. Most countries want freedom and do not operate like humans; they stand up for bullies. Why is Russia not messing with its close neighbor Latvia? Because of NATO/US links. As soon as Ukraine joins NATO, you will never hear Russia lifting a finger!In the morning, it was 450 dead. The new Biden sanctions submitted few hours ago forced Russia to escalate negotiations. Putin will soon evaporate over $500 billion from economy!
Haven't the Europeans (Germans) and even the US refused to kick them out of SWIFT? See, even with the sanctions, they're being super careful, not just hitting Russia fwa fwa hivyo.
I'll repeat what I said in the other thread: Taiwan better watch with all their eyes all the way open 👀. If your neighbor is a military giant, keeping peace with them is more important than pleasing a distant military giant, even if it's much bigger than your neighbor, coz only rarely will you be important enough to that distant giant to fight a war (with your near giant) for.
EDIT: In fact, I'll just go out on a limb and say, if you're not Britain, Germany, or France, don't go around assuming Americans will come running to fight a nuclear power on your behalf. Just assume they won't, if push comes to shove, and proceed wisely (with that sober reality in mind).
You're right, they won't fight a NATO'd Ukraine: but that's the point, isn't it? The war now is about preventing Ukraine or anyone else from doing that. Isn't it safer for Ukraine to just not talk about NATO at all? All those other countries joined while Russia was being gutted in Yeltsin's era. That won't be happening anymore.Ukraine has not been talking about joining NATO loudly over the years. However, since they looked towards western countries and culture seems to anger Putin, the man who wishes to have USSR back. It does not matter whether Ukraine talks about it; Russia is just hellbent on the mission he dreamed of decades ago. The idea that they want to change the government and install a puppet pro-Russian administration augments that long-held mission. Either way, when things die down, and if not wiped out chemically, I think Ukraine will eventually join NATO, which will be the end of many wars in that region. Long live NATO and USA!
Think of it like this: isn't it safer to steer clear of nuclear weapons as a way to keep Americans uninterested in you, than to insist on getting nukes as a way to deter them from invading you once you're nuked? I mean, you'll be right: They'll stay away when you have them IF you succeed, but there'll be a whole world of hurt for you on the way there 🤕.

I tell you for free Russia will eventually go to Baltic Countries by the next 10 years.
Talk of Russia diplomacy. You need to educate yourself on Russias war doctrine. Biden , Macron were caught flat footed. just 3 days ago. Duplicity is one aspect they always use.

BRUSSELS (AP) � In one of the most significant shifts in European security policy in decades, Germany announced Sunday it was committing 100 billion euros ($113 billion) to a special armed forces fund and would keep its defense spending above 2% of GDP from now on, a move brought on by Russia�s invasion of Ukraine.https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-business-europe-olaf-scholz-nato-91c93ef0dc7e759d202c0eee9c070ea5 (https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-business-europe-olaf-scholz-nato-91c93ef0dc7e759d202c0eee9c070ea5)

No US should go after Putin's Regime Directly. Go after him in person. It has to be an all out targeting of regime change in Russia. I think America over cautious nonsense is very costly. If for example they had killed Bashir after he hosted .Osama ..it would sent a message to every government that the cost of harboring Al Qaeda was going to be costly. Clinton had Osama on his sights in Sudan but let him go fearing that he may lose soldiers during operations. That type of nonsense must be ignored.

Germany has warned that an immediate boycott of Russian gas and oil supplies could hurt its own population more than Vladimir Putin, bringing mass unemployment and poverty.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/14/russian-gas-oil-boycott-mass-poverty-warns-germany
�If we flip a switch immediately, there will be supply shortages, even supply stops in Germany,� the economic and energy minister Robert Habeck told public broadcaster ARD on Sunday, as Europe�s largest economy intensely searches to diversify its energy supplies in the medium term.

These actions will be taken in harmony with the major decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation in finance, banking and other areas to protect the Russian economy and ensure its stable development.
Putin is caput. He has been beaten in Ukraine. His army is retreating from battle field. He has been given a beating of the century. Fuck him and his dimitwitted supporters
I am hearing reports that they(Russians) are pulling units away from Kyiv and Chernihiv "to create mutual trust" :lolz:. Some sightings have been reported in Belarus and Russia.
Given their history, and what we know about their operations in those areas, I - as a sane person - am not putting any stock into their statements. They are moving away to regroup and restrategize for fresh attacks. Rasputitsa and Maskirovka(tricky in today's technology and capability environment) are probably in play. Ukrainians most likely are not fooled.

These people went to re-group, so expect more destruction of apartments, water systems, electric grid, etc. Reason for that is they cant win any war in Ukraine but they can destroy everything.

My take as well. Putin has no reverse brakes. More specifically, they are not leaving because of interest in "mutual trust"; that ship sailed in 2014, maybe earlier.

LVIV, Ukraine, April 1 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out an air strike against a fuel depot in the Russian city of Belgorod on Friday, an incident the Kremlin said could affect peace talks, but a top Kyiv security official denied responsibility.https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-strikes-fuel-depot-russias-belgorod-regional-official-says-2022-04-01/
Russia's defence ministry said two Ukrainian helicopters struck the facility in Belgorod, some 35 km (22 miles) from the border with Ukraine, after entering Russia at extremely low altitude at around 5 a.m. Moscow time (0200 GMT).
The resulting blaze forced the evacuation of some people but late in the day Belgorod mayor Anton Ivanov said fire services were extinguishing the last remnants.
"There is no threat to human life and health. All residents can return to their homes," he said in an online post.
Ukraine's top security official rebuffed the Russian accusation - the first by Moscow of an air strike on Russian soil since Moscow launched its invasion on Feb. 24. Belgorod is one of Russia's main logistics hubs for the war.
"For some reason they say that we did it, but according to our information this does not correspond to reality," said Security Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov.
Earlier, defence ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk said he would neither confirm nor deny a Ukrainian role.
"Ukraine is currently conducting a defensive operation against Russian aggression on the territory of Ukraine, and this does not mean that Ukraine is responsible for every catastrophe on Russia's territory," he said.
Russians didn't even have the decency to collect fellow kia soldiers bodies. What a bunch of savages.

The Russian economy is set to shrink sharply this year while inflation skyrockets, as punitive international sanctions in response to its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine begin to bite.
Russian manufacturing activity in March contracted at its sharpest rate since May 2020, in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, as material shortages and delivery delays weighed heavily on factories.
The S&P Global purchasing managers� index (PMI) for Russia, published on Friday, dropped from 48.6 in February to 44.1 in March, with anything below 50 representing contraction. Goldman Sachs economists noted on Friday that the fall was �broad-based, with sharp drops in the output, new orders, and (especially) the new exports orders components.�
In a note Wednesday, economists at Capital Economics projected that Western sanctions are likely to push Russian gross domestic product into a 12% contraction in 2022, while inflation is expected to exceed 23% year-on-year.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has projected a 10% shrinkage in the Russian economy, which would still constitute the country�s deepest recession for almost 30 years, with GDP then flatlining in 2023 and entering a prolonged period of negligible growth.
Goldman Sachs has also forecast a 10% contraction, while the Institute for International Finance think tank has projected a more damaging 15% plunge in Russian GDP in 2022 and a further 3% in 2023.

A Russian warship that was damaged by an explosion on Wednesday has sunk, Russia's defence ministry has said.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61114843 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61114843)
Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, was being towed to port when "stormy seas" caused it to sink, according to a ministry message.
The 510-crew missile cruiser was a symbol of Russia's military power, leading its naval assault on Ukraine.
Kyiv says its missiles hit the warship. Moscow has not reported any attack. It says the vessel sank after a fire.
The blaze caused the explosion of the warship's ammunition, Russia says, adding that the entire crew were later evacuated. It provided no further details.
After saying initially the warship was afloat, late on Thursday Russian state media broke the news that the Moskva had been lost.

KIEL, Germany � German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck backed away Thursday from demands that his country quickly send tanks to Ukraine, amid divisions within Berlin�s ruling parties over how much to get involved and concerns about becoming Russia�s next target.https://www.politico.eu/article/berlin-bickers-over-tanks-for-ukraine-amid-warnings-that-west-could-become-target/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social
Habeck, a member of the Greens, had said just two days ago that �anything that helps the Ukrainian army now must be delivered quickly,� in response to Kyiv�s calls for Germany to send tanks and artillery. But on Thursday, speaking to POLITICO at a local election rally in the northern German city of Kiel, he toed the line of his Social Democratic boss, Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Notably, Habeck mentioned concerns among NATO allies that deliveries of modern tanks from Western producers could prompt Russia to extend its war to Western countries.
�Heavy weapons are synonymous with tanks, and all NATO countries have so far ruled this out to not become targets themselves,� said Habeck, who also serves as Germany�s economy and climate minister, arguing that NATO and the EU must first debate whether �we want to change this line.�
He added: �NATO will constantly reevaluate the situation, the course of the war will change, and then it will be discussed within NATO.�
Scholz has been hesitant to send heavy weapons to Ukraine, arguing Germany should first reach a common line with allies before agreeing to send tanks. Habeck backed that approach on Thursday, saying, �it is right for Germany to act in unity with its partners. And this unity must be maintained at all costs.�
...
Germany backtracks on its offer of tanks to Ukraine. NATO, while united like never before, still has a confusing, and self-defeating IMO, policy on what it should or shouldn't send to Ukraine. Self defeating, because for anything they send to be effective, it has to hurt the Russians.

The fanfare itself is confusing enough. Could they be doing some things without it? Can't rule it out. They could be providing more weapons than they are declaring, but I doubt they are providing different ones.
Russia lodged a formal complaint with the US about the weapons being supplied. My interpretation is that even these limited weapons are working.

What happened: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee adopted a resolution by voice vote on Thursday morning in support of Finland�s and Sweden�s bids to join NATO. The resolution calls on the White House to expedite the paperwork for both countries, who have applied to join the defensive alliance amid Russia�s war in Ukrain
The non-binding resolution comes as the committee is set to begin considering the countries� accession efforts as soon as this month, with the goal of formal ratification before the August recess. The Senate is expected to combine both countries� bids into a single defense treaty. It can begin the process once the Biden administration completes all of the necessary paperwork.

Australia's energy minister has urged households in New South Wales - a state that includes the country's biggest city Sydney - to switch off their lights in the face of an energy crisis.
Chris Bowen says people should not use electricity for two hours every evening if they "have a choice".
However, he added he was "confident" that blackouts could be avoided.
It comes after Australia's main wholesale electricity market was suspended because of a surge in prices.
Mr Bowen asked people living in New South Wales to conserve as much power as possible.
"If you have a choice about when to run certain items, don't run them from 6 to 8 [in the evening]," he said during a televised media conference in Canberra.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) � Russia�s Defense Ministry announced Saturday that it was pulling back troops from two areas in Ukraine�s eastern Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counteroffensive has made significant advances in the past week.https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-kyiv-world-news-kharkiv-e06b2aa723e826ed4105b5f32827f577
The news came after days of apparent advances by Ukraine south of Kharkiv, the country�s second-largest city, in what could become the biggest battlefield success for Ukrainian forces since they thwarted a Russian attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, at the start of the nearly seven-month war.
�The Russian army in these days is demonstrating the best that it can do � showing its back,� Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video released by his office Saturday night. �And, of course, it�s a good decision for them to run.�

KYIV/NEW YORK/GDANSK, Poland, Sept 21 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia's first wartime mobilisation since World War Two on Wednesday, shocking his countrymen with what Western countries described as an act of desperation in the face of a losing war.https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-marches-farther-into-liberated-lands-separatist-calls-urgent-referendum-2022-09-19/
Putin made the announcement in a televised address in which he also announced moves to annex swaths of Ukrainian territory and threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia, declaring: "It's not a bluff".

A good analysis of the changing US attitude:
Is Zelensky done for? A new Time Magazine cover story indicates changing American attitudes to Ukrainian leader
https://www.rt.com/news/586426-us-zelensky-west-article/
At the same time, Ukrainian observers note the change in tone signaled by Time. For one journalist, Zelensky’s old image was that of a Tarot magician, a card associated with both powerful trickery and the ability to channel cosmic forces, while he now appears as a hermit figure, solitary and withdrawn. His “messianism” has given way to “fear of society.” Fanciful as it is, the imagery is striking: For some Ukrainians, at least, Time’s iconoclasm makes sense.

To the contrary, this is an invaluable lesson for blind followers of US neoconmanship. Anyone with half a working brain cell could see this ending 2 years ago. It is those who cheered the pointless war that should be ashamed.
Thank goodness Ruto is clever enough to avoid Magufuli antics.
audacity there are two schools of thought on the reason for Russia's invasionRobina, whether you are an American president or a North Korean supreme leader, you only become successful in your country's history when you serve the interests of your country. Abraham Lincoln was a successful president. He preserved the union. Did I not say I detest America's policy of 'America first'. Your two schools of thought tell me that at least you do look up stuff and do some reading. And then your objectivity and thought process hits a dead end. What NATO led by US has done, and what Russia did in invading Ukraine is no different from what so many in history the likes of Alexander the Great did. I am not in or support either of those two groups, simply because I am not American and neither am I Russian. Being of another nationality what do I benefit from these expansions?. So why get excited in other people's wars yet one day as a Kenyan when they are done with Ukraine they will be at your door step (perhaps the US already came hang around as you had a fake election and then gave us a puppet). My point is, acknowledge a 3rd group, and that is where some of us are. We are a sovereign state and a democratic one at that. which means sovereign power rests with the people. America wants Israel where it is because that gives them a foothold for their interests in the middle east and beyond. That US policy is carried to East Africa and does not make us happy - those of us who believe we should manage our own affairs without interference.
1. NATO expansion contrary to agreements btwn Gorbachev and Reagan
2. Unprovoked invasion cause Putin has Soviet nostalgia
I think you are in the no 2 group? I am in the no 1. Putin was not gonna let Ukraine join NATO intact. Zelensky had the chance to stay neutral and save his country hence my scorn for him.
At this rate Zelensky will soon become a comedian in London or here in LA, I will attend his shows
Kiev’s forces pounded the city on Tuesday with US-made HIMARS missiles, killing and injuring multiple civilians
Moscow has requested an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council to address Ukraine’s strikes on the city of Donetsk, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, announced late on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the Russian city was subjected to multiple missile attacks by Kiev’s forces, which resulted in heavy damage to several critical civilian infrastructure sites. At least 20 people were killed in the attack, a figure that is expected to grow, according to local officials.
“We have requested an emergency open meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with today’s attacks by the Kiev regime on Donetsk,” Polyansky said in a statement on Telegram, adding that the meeting is expected to take place on Wednesday afternoon.
The attacks with US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launcher systems on the city came in three waves, according to Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) leader Denis Pushilin.
The strikes targeted four civilian infrastructure sites and heavily damaged the local labor and social security department, which sustained a direct hit. Several multistory residential buildings and at least one medical facility were damaged by the missiles as well, Pushilin reported.
Here are Blinken and NATO crying about Kim Jong-Un arming RussiaRobina, I didn't know you post videos you haven't even watched yourself. That title has misled you to think that Blinken primary concern is that of North Korea supplying weapons to Russia when really it is the potential of Russia aiding North Korea with its nuclear program and long range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. How badly must a Nation be doing to turn to a dirt poor starving county like North Korea for help?

Trump has asked Russia to invade any NATO country that doesn't pay up. 🙂 I know he is campaigning but Trump has no love lost for US playing global cop.
NATO is in a bind. With Erdogan SUPER PISSED over Gaza, he is in no mood to help the West kick Russia. Turkey is actually the laundromat for sanctioned goods. India launders oil and resell to EU. China doesn't care about the sanctions... do, do but deny, deny.
Turkey and India are the real two-faced opportunists. Serious war profiteers only rivalled by Russian oligarchs.

Today�s ruling elite is indeed qualitatively different from previous generations. First of all, it believes in a kind of dogma about the infallibility of the West, i.e. the certainty that any deviation from the ideological and political canon established after the Cold War will be a real catastrophe for the world. And since any compromise with Russia will be such a retreat, it is necessary to prevent it at all costs.
Biden and Blinken chose a China hater over their chief Russophobe. This may have pushed her over the edge
A major factor in the current Russian offensive is glide bombs, which Russia has stepped up the use of in the last three months.
These are Soviet-era bombs tricked out with guidance systems and wings enabling long-distance strikes.
As of last month, Russia was using them intensely around three flashpoints of the war: Kupiansk, the eastern city of Bakhmut, and Robotyne, a strategic southeastern village, the Kyiv Post reported.
Launched from aircraft at a distance and then guided to their target, the small radar signature and short flight time of glide bombs makes them hard for Ukraine's already-strained air defense systems to detect and shoot down.
Russia is reported to be ramping up its production of the bombs.
Glide bombs were a factor in the Russian capture of Avdiivka in mid-February, its only major success in recent months. Their impact in Avdiivka was reported to be devastating.
Ukraine does not release official casualty figures.
Maksym Zhorin, a soldier in Ukraine's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, said in a Telegram post during that battle that glide bombs "completely destroy any position," The Washington Post reported.
"All buildings and structures simply turn into a pit after the arrival of just one," he said.
Struggling to push Russian forces back, Ukraine has fortified its own defensive lines.
In Kupyansk, frontline fighting is backed by two miles of trenches, dragon's teeth, and minefields, The Times reported.
However, these present no barriers for glide bombs.
The aerial threat has placed a new urgency on getting F-16s to Ukraine.
Mykola Bielieskov, a military analyst at Kyiv's National Institute for Strategic Studies, told the Post that the F-16s' modified air-to-air missiles could help Ukraine counter the threat.
However, the aircraft are not estimated to reach Ukrainian skies until at least the summer.
Ukrainian troops have advanced up to 10km (6 miles) into Russia’s Kursk region in possibly the most serious border incursion of the conflict, the Institute for the Study of War think tank said.
An aide in Ukraine’s presidential office blamed Moscow for this week’s Ukrainian incursion into Russia, without taking direct responsibility for the most serious attack on Russian territory in months.

Unfortunately most Kenyans have been brainswashed by the western media . Lets go to Putins objective . He basically wanted 2 things Deter NATOs expansion and secondly make sure Minsk agreements are implemented.
Did he achieve this .Well he has brought the western partners to the negotiation table . They will have to make written agreements and Ukraine Perwsident has finally agreed that they will give Donbass autonomy.
https://www.rt.com/russia/549422-special-status-republics-donbass/
Now as usual western partnerts have been exposed , truth of the matter a war with Russia would be a lose lose situation for both parties . Russia has Nuclear weapons and it would be plain stupid to go to war with such a country .
Putin never wanted to wage war with Ukraine he simply wanted Western partners to take Russia security concerns seriously. Now western media is full of hype that they have won . Truth of the matter they have been exposed and actually this will lead to Bidens election loss. The running away from Ukraine was really psychologically blow. It has destroyed Ukraines economy and made western partners look bad . They talk something different and do something different
