Russia Declares War on Ukraine<<MOD WARNING>>

I am known as an anti war supporter, but with this bastard (Putin) I was wondering why no Russian is trying to take him out?
Even the Germans had highly ethical & moral soldiers, absolutely incorrupt as Claus von Stauffenberg among others, trying to take Hitler out.
So what is wrong with Russians? Is this all they can, raping and killing of civilians? Hundreds of thousands have now to die, absolutely senseless.
But in all honesty, as senseless as the Iraq War was some 20 years back. Mankind is not learning the lessons....
Reg.

 

Dictatorship is in the DNA of Russians? What kind of DNA is in your body? DNA of stupidity?

 

Vis is it? Did you know the major problem with the Titanic back in 1912 was that there weren't enough
life boats for the passengers. That missile cruiser had a similar problem. It's a small thing I know but
it points to something about Russia - it's backward.
We English had democratic ideas going back to the Magna Carta. So too the German barrons and
the French revolutionaries. But Russia goes from Czars and Communists and Oligarch/Fascism -
and Russians are just fine with that.

 

Pooh, the territory of Russia at the beginning of 20th century was huge and covered Poland, Baltic states, modern Russia of course. Which Russia do you mean? Claiming that whole nation has a DNA of dictatorship -same kind as claiming that all Russians drink vodka and suffer from alcoholism. That kind of russofobic statements resemble Hitler's doctrine about der Untermensch and are not acceptable for me.

 

From where Russia is leaving, US missiles immediately appear there - Poland, Romania. The same will happen in Chechnya and Ukraine.
Washington is taking a huge risk by placing its missiles on the border with Russia. Russia no longer has time to check the false signal of an attack on itself. The entire population of the Northern Hemisphere may die due to a technical error.

 

...that a sonnet from a weird African language....??

 

Without Russia, the world will cease to be multipolar. Washington will have global power. Who wants to have Washington's livestock rights?

 

Nobody forbids you to be an absolute slave of Washington. But don't encourage others to do so. It looks very dumb.

 

If on the street a bandit aims his gun at your forehead, then you think he is good. He hasn't fired a single bullet yet.
Putin has no choice. If he leaves Ukraine, then US medium-range nuclear missiles will immediately appear there. Just like in Poland and Romania.

 

Putin doesn't want Ukraine. As he has stated many times over 10+ years, he will not tolerate NATO weapons in his back yard, AND he will not tolerate the 8 years of assault against the people of Donbass. As in Syria, Putin has the moral high ground in this action.

Zelensky is a clown and puppet of NATO

 

You don’t use an end user device in manufacturing like that.
When you are buying a camera like that you are paying for case, instructions manuals, and other things. When I watched one of the Russian UAV being broken down that soldier noticed that the dials in the Canon SLR camera were intentionally jammed to avoid incidental mechanical switch happening during flight. All of that could be avoided if one were to reach out to the manufacturer and buy circuit board and lenses. You can also build a high resolution camera using single-board computers like Raspberry Pi.
This just shows that there is a severe lack of skills in Russian military industry when it comes to advanced electronics and instead of designing their own circuit boards with cameras that suit military needs, or at least buying just the components of the camera they need, they resort to using civilian end-user electronics. Yesterday I also saw the circuit boards from some of the downed Russian missiles and they all used circuit boards that were designed in the 70s. The brain drain in Russia is real and the more Russia uses up of its newest equipment, the more they’ll have to rely on even older electronics and they seem to be unable to design things that even I could design myself in my own home with things I can buy on Amazon, even though I’m just a coder, not an engineer. All Russian high tech is just a show off and a hype. Corruption is so bad that instead of hiring skilled talent, Russians hire someone with connections to their bosses. I think Russians will struggle to replace all of the equipment they lost in Ukraine - they can’t design even basic circuit boards in their own anymore.

Every time Russia has attempted any form of government that is not a dictatorship it has failed spectacularly and Russians have literally run back into the arms of dictatorship. Russia worships dictators and mass murderers. How many streets are named after Lenin? How many statues of him? What is the first thing Russians do when they conquer parts of Ukraine? Put up statues to a mass murdering dictator and fly the flag of dictatorship.

And now Russia has a new dictator for you all to worship. And you do. You vomit up his words and you cheer as he commits mass murder because that is who Russians are.

 

China is America's rival. Russia can't even fight Ukraine now.

 

That's a diversion. Putin didnt invade Ukraine because of American missiles, indeed, his invasion
could INVITE US missiles. The Putin reasons are fairly obvious - Putin sees Ukraine as 'little Russia'
and he laments the fall of the Soviet Union, and Ukraine can help make Russia bigger and stronger,
and having a wealthy Ukraine is hard to explain away to the poor Russian people.

 

It is a pity that you get more upset about a few very accurate words than the fact that Russia is destroying parts of Ukraine and murdering its citizens. Apparently it is acceptable for you when Russia treats others as untermenschen.

Your judgements are meaningless.

 

White Russians should reject imperialism. Give back St Petersburg to Sweden, Vladivostok to China,
Japan's islands restored ---- that kind of thing.
I am against imperialism.

 

Mark Milley, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, said that it was only the Russian army that could pose a threat to the United States of America. The official also said that Russia was the only country in the world that could destroy the United States.

 

The DNA of military aggression, torture and deception? Like so many US presidents?

 

On December 17, 2021, the MIL of the Russian Federation published draft agreements between Russia, the United States and NATO on mutual security guarantees.
The West did not accept it.
Russia must respect the right of sovereign states to freely determine their foreign and security policy, as well as to make decisions about joining this or that alliance. This is how the official representative of the European Union's foreign service, Peter Stano, reacted to Russia's proposals to NATO and the United States regarding security guarantees.

 

A bit of context here but we didn't fair that great in Iraq or Afghanistan trying to erase Isis. And when we left Afghanistan because dumb ass was in charge, we left with our tail between our legs.

It is incredibly difficult to go and invade some other country that doesn't want you there.

 

I am against a unipolar world, when the only superpower has the ability to destroy any state with complete impunity.

 

No, it's very easy to invade other countries. Since WWII, the US has been in the business of invading other countries, either by direct military aggression or by covert action by CIA and State Department.

As we learned in Vietnam and elsewhere, it is foolish and impossible to sustain and army of occupation in a country where the people hate invaders.

 

Doubt China would do that.

 

Only country? China could destroy America. So too could England and France.

 

Wikipedia says the drone costs $75k.
I doubt it would be valued for more than $3,000 on the open market. This drone is the reflection of Russian corruption - with their military buying at least 1,000 units, someone got their mansion in Spain paid off with this drone.
