Putin is a real Idiot who has miscalculated very badly …
One of the reasons to Invade and annex Eastern Ukraine and Crimea was to halt the “advance” of NATO next to Russian Borders …
Has anyone looked at the European map lately … ??? :D:D
Overnight , the NATO border with Russia just INCREASED by about 1500 miles …
A border very sparsely populated by Russians and a stones throw from St. Petersburg.
And Finland is no Ukraine …
They have modern NATO standard Army and Reserves of about 900K equipped with the latest F16 and F35 fighters …
They are no friends of Russia having fought and expelled them from Finland in previous wars …
Let’s see if Putin starts another “Special Military Operation” …
In a few months , Sweden will also join NATO …
They have a kickass military with Saab Grippen J39 Fighters , Submarines , Armour , Artillery and missiles …
** PS:
And there are no “Nazis” in Finland …
Shenzi Kabisa… :D:D
OK, but prepare for Russia state sponsored terrorist acts: be it economic, cultural, sabotage etc. No way a country which has suffered so many wars from its western borders can takes this lying down.
I correctly predicted that this will be the Year of Reckoning for Putin …
Ukraine is re-arming and getting ready for the Summer Counter-Offensive …
Putin is running low on weapons , support and soldiers…
Sweden and Finland are now joining NATO …
The NATO Baltic Front is now rock solid …
It is extremely unlikely that Putin will be foolish enough to trigger a NATO Article 5 response at a time when he can barely cope with the Ukraine Invasion and Economic hardships …
This is now crunch time …
He will end this War …
Or get deposed …
Or both … :D:D
Iran is facing Internal Unrest and cannot spare any forces for external adventures…
North Korea is a Banana Republic with a dozen or so crude nuclear weapons …
Nothing to write home about …
China has an economy that is extremely vulnerable to Economic Sanctions and Embargoes …
85% of their Food , Energy and Raw materials are imported …
They will continue to sit on the fence …
That leaves Putin between a large Rock and a very hard place … :D:D
Indeed we shall …
Followed the News lately …???
Prighozin seems to have fallen out of the Sky …
And his Wagnar Merceneries are no longer in the fight …
Now we see the importance of sticking to lanes. Kama mtu ni wa hippos ashugulike na hizo. Mambo ya putin muwache kabisa. Yukrane counter offensive is coming up nicely done. Hata fakenews lamestream media are going slow on this one. Take the hint.
Aug 8, 2023Weeks into Ukraine’s highly anticipated counteroffensive, Western officials describe increasingly “sobering” assessments about Ukrainian forces’ ability to retake significant territory …
1 day agoNo-one sees my tears." As recently as April, leaked estimates from the Pentagon put Ukrainian deaths at the much lower figure of 17,500. The alleged jump to more than 70,000 can be partly…
Not to be Rude …
But unlike YOU , some in here are capable of In-depth Analysis , Critical Thinking , Walking and Chewing Gum at the same time …
War is Sobering business and often , with difficult to predict scenarios .…
.
When Adolf Hitler Overun the whole of Europe and was standing at Britain’s doorstep …
Even the USA and Soviet Union were ready to write them off …
.
Sir Winston Churchill rallied his citizens and prepared for the Do-or-Die “Battle of Britain” .…
The RAF had 972 mainly older , low performance Aircraft …
The German Luftwaffe had 2,926 more modern Aircraft … What happened next is in the History Books …
. Ukraine has been in this struggle low key since 2014 …
Donald Trump did nothing and even befriended Putin …
Barrack Obama was tied up with Syria , Afghanistan , Iraq , Iran , Osama Bin Laden and was not about to commit US Forces into a major conflict with the second largest army in the World [ … and a very unprepared NATO on the sidelines …].
.
The Putin’s 72 hour Special Military Invasion of Ukraine was the Wake-Up call that everyone , including NATO , needed …
[ President Rooservelt of the USA got that same Wake-Up call when the Imperial Japanese bombed Pearl Habour in Hawaii in December 1941 -
Sir Winston Churchill immediatly reminded him that he had told him so …!! ]
. Long Story Short … World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history.
An estimated total of 70–85 million people perished, or about 3% of the 2.3 billion people on Earth in 1940.
Deaths directly caused by the war (including military and civilian fatalities) are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine.
Civilian deaths totaled 50–55 million.
Military deaths from all causes totaled 21–25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisoners of War.
. The reality is that Ukraine is in a War of National Survival while Putin is attempting a Land Grab [ … of many to come …] .
Neither You , nor Donald Trump , nor Vivek Ramaswamy or anyone alse for that matter , have the moral right or authority , to tell Ukraine to hand over territory to Putin in exchange for “Peace” …
[… the Munich Accords did not work with Adolf Hitler - He still invaded Europe anyway …The Russian / Finland Treaties did not work with Joseph Stalin - He still invaded Finland in spite of being given Finland territory …].
. Bottom Line … Appeasement “Treaties” or “Agreements” with Aggressors DO NOT WORK - Ever …!!
This is the Second Time Russians have invaded Ukraine in recent memory …
Millions died , or got displaced under Joseph Stalin …
Lands were taken away and Ethnic Russians imported into Ukraine …
The memories are still fresh …
.
So …
Whether the USA , NATO or anyone else might entertain all kinds of "solutions’ to this conflict , It is the Ukranians who will have the final say about their destiny …
. And , I can tell you for free …
Just like the unresolved Palestinian / Israeli Conflict , the Ukranian People are resolved for the long haul until Russia removes itself out of Ukraine …
The US and French were kicked out of Vietnam …
The Russians [ Soviets ] and the US / NATO were kicked out of Afghanistan …
The US was kicked out of Iraq. … The level of Russian and Ukraine casualties is un-sustainable by both sides …
And Putin will not be around forever …
The Russians will end Putin’s War and exit Ukraine … Sooner rather than Later …!!!
The lack of Anti-Putin protests in Russia is NOT a measure of how much Russians love him but rather a measure of how ruthless and totalitarian the Russian State and State controlled Media have become …
.
Have there been anti-War and anti Putin protests in Russia …???
YES …
Thousands who participated , including minors are in jail.
Is there a strong opposition to Putin’s War …???
YES …
Thousands of opposition figures are languishing in Gualags and Penal Institutions without trail or on trumped up charges.
Thousands are in exile in various European States.
Others have be assasinated , poisoned , flown out of tall buildings and shot out of the sky …
3-5 million Russians have fled the country over the last 2 years alone to avoid being drafted into a useless , criminal War …
.
Germany happens to be a Democratic Nation and its citizens , no matter how naive , can freely express a contrary pacifist or anti-war opinion .
Nothing wrong or unusual with that …
.
Just dont pretend that it is support for Putin or his evil policies.
If he were to invade Germany today , those same protestors would be protesting against him …
I could not help but notice the time of the video. More than 1 year old. Care to keep up with recent news videos? Which would make your presentation a bit more current, up to date, informed? Because things get overtaken by events. Lamestream fake news media notwithstanding.
Like mistakes get corrected and so on. But unlike you, I’m not here to give personal analyses.
