Mamoulian War

It really depends, in some eastern countries there is still strong pro russian sentiment, despite all this ****, so the politics are going a lot against the polls.

Well that was the case before February 24th. Now, even the most prominent Russofiles in goverments demand heavier sanctions and more help to Ukraine, which was unimaginable few weeks ago... Well of course with the exception of Hugarian and Serbian leaders EU was never so unified as far as I remember as it is now. I have no clue how long it last, but with this invasion the EU is kind of born anew...

Yes their soldiers are just meatballs to be sacrificed to achieve their goals. It was the same for the Russia and Soviet Union few centuries... They have no issues killing ethnic Russians in Ukraine as well, if it suits them, also there are some evidence, that few of the bombings in Moscow attributed to Chechens were orchestrated by someone else, and it was happening conveniently during Putlers rallying for taking the power 🤷‍♂️

In other news, Venezuela started to talk about providing west with oil, and US is willing to start talk with them to ease the sanctions... After the Iran, it is another antiwest country, which sees their chance to get some good deals and reconsider relations with the west in the wake of the current world situation... source: Deutsche Welle

Would not be the first time, when one agent gets the idea, that his leader has became insane

Allow me to give you few details, which you might not know about the current situation. I will not comment about Crimea, because I do not know the history, but the whole **** hit the fan situation started before 2014. And the culprit was Putin's puppet Yanukovych. It all started in 2004, when he was appointed as a candidate for Ukrainian president. The votes did end up as illegitimate, in a very similar way as the last Belarusian elections. This started Orange Revolution. Unlike in Belarus, these were annulled by Ukrainian Supreme Court. In the final/repeated round he lost to Yushchenko. Unfortunately for Ukraine, Yuschchenko did disappoint the people so in the next election, Yanukovich won again, this time it was legitimate. Though his close ties to Putin were still the same. He started his presidency in 2010, and has slowly start to decay all the pro-western agreements with EU, and moved closer and closer to Russia. In 2013 he discarded the EU-Ukrainian Association Agreement, which sparkled another Revolution - Euromaidan. And in 2014 when he passed new law, which prohibited protesting, it sparkled even more unrest, and even in the cities, with very high population of ethnic Russians, like Kharkiv. What happened next, you already know. Separatists republics, and annexation of Crimea. In short. Russia started to meddle directly in Ukrainian politics in 2004, with appointing the same Yanukovich puppet, which Russians transported soon after the start of War in Ukraine to Minsk. The intel on this move says, that he was planned to succeed Zelenskyi, after the defeat of Ukraine... EDIT: The same Yanukovich, which today publicly appealed to Zelenskyi to surrender to Russia... Of course brought by the Russian RIA Novosti. He was sentenced in Ukraine for 13 years for corruption and high treason and ran away to Russia.

Please take it with a big grain of salt, there are reports, there are some leaked documents, how Russian secret service did not knew about the attack, and now there is a big notion, that all the blame will be put on them, despite not knowing all details. First this might be a very strong anti russian propaganda hitpiece published to lower russian soldier morale even more, but on the other hand, this is from web page of our television, which is owned by a person, who has very close ties to Sputnik News. The link should be google translated to English. https://www-ta3-com.translate.goog/clanok/230111/ruska-tajna-sluzba-vraj-o-invazii-nevedela-teraz-caka-katastrofu-uvadza-to-uniknuta-sprava?fbclid=IwAR35MhBl8qI1KMW_isz_CqMqFcIKU2zyvq84zizOLoEpwvy6qT0pMxGwQyA&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Newest list of hostile COUNTRIES to Russia.

They might, the thing is, as much as I do not like it, we were part of big Hungary, which were technically not ruled by Habsburgs, so I should still be safe from HRE revival campaign, in case that Lexx would engage in it 😛 On the other hand, I am happy, we do not have many active Italian members on the boards, then I would be really worried 😱

Well if my history lessons were correct, Slovakia was never part of Holy Roman Empire. In that case, @Chilloutman should be worried more 😛

Well, Kaliningrad is next to Poland and ****ing close to my own country. I was always opponent of NATO going east, I always preferred independent EU army, but now I am glad, we are members... The reason why some ex Eastern Bloc countries wanted to join NATO, was close proximity of Kaliningrad, and the shared experience with Soviet aggression... For Baltic states, as you can see now, it was a decision of life or death. They would be now obliterated in one day, if they stayed "neutral"...

Unfortunately I do not know how to know this, before redeeming my code It is code on AMD webpage, and there are no hints where to pick it up, and as these two games were at some point Epic exclusives (IIRC), it is possible they will hand out Epic keys after registration

The proximity of Russian territory to the possible delivery of Nuclear weapons to Ukraine is very weak argument, as Russia has nuclear weapons already in the "middle" of NATO... At Kaliningrad... Should we now start bombarding it as well and demand that Russia removes them and then in the peace deal require the territory be given back to Germany?

Well. The least what could Germany demand at the moment would be Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg IMHO you Germans should start a rally and demand that your government releases official note, that they would like it back 😄

Also if you are lost in what information might be true or not about wins and defeats, here is the list of all confirmed technical losses on both sides. The real number is probably much higher, but from the numbers, the number of technic, which Ukraine captured from Russia is much higher, than what Russia was able to destroy... So in other words, Russia donated to Ukraine more weapons, than the whole NATO combined 🤷‍♂️ 8.3.22 10:00 Russia - 902, of which: destroyed: 358, damaged: 10, abandoned: 150, captured: 382 Ukraine - 272, of which: destroyed: 94, damaged: 4, abandoned: 44, captured: 127 https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html

In other news, Japan has decided, that if Russia wants "reunite" old USSR territories, they want back Kuril Islands, which they lost to USSR... In before Mongolia asks for 3/4 of Russia lol...

This information is according to the intel by our investigative journalist, which I've posted here two days ago. Russia do not have secure communication in place at Ukraine. His dead followed his interception, when he talked to command in Russia through cell phone, because their encrypted communication does not work at the moment, because it requires 3g/4g to work. And Russians destroyed almost all 3g/4g receivers while besieging Kharkiv... Another blatant show of incompetence of corrupted army officers... He was even talking about general Gerassimov in that report. The next part of the story was planned to go deeply about him... I am now even more curious about part 2...

Also allegedly evacuation route from Mariupol offered to civilians by was set by landmines... EDIT: Source of the article does not explicitly said, that the route offered on Sunday was actually offered by Russians. Still it was mined... https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-60635927?Evacuation route out of Mariupol was mined, Red Cross says&2022-03-07T08:47:05.732Z&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:db771701-6dc4-4ec6-80c5-bf4be97ab054&pinned_post_asset_id=6225c463980bea49f4b7b73c&pinned_post_type=share

LOL If this is true, then the Russian commander of army at Kherson will not have a very happy and long life... Looks like Russians landed 30 helicopters at the captured airfield, and overnight Ukrainian Army destroyed all of them... I am starting to be really sorry for the Russian soldiers, based on how much incompetence is there in the corrupted ranks of their commanders... https://t.me/a_shtirlitz/16331 Telegram link, I tried it to translate with my very bad russian, so if there is someone else better at Ukrainian or Russian language, please correct me...

Just do not tell that to Solaire

Is here anyone who might be interested in Far Cry 6 and Resident Evil Village? It is probably on Epic... I got it as a gift to my AMD GPU, but I am not interested in these typo of games. The code should be redeemable at AMD until the end of this month (march 2022 😛). Long time members of Obsidian community will get preferential treatment.

Point taken, but still better option than Russia's influence... Another point is also, that USA had over the years losing it's influence over the EU and I considered this as a good thing. A lot of people preferred EU only defense instead of NATO, but because of this ****ing situation, even political parties in my country led by russofiles, which were organizing protests in january against the newest deal between Slovakia and NATO, are now praising our NATO membership... Putin might win over the Ukraine, but power of NATO has been boosted more than ever, especially in the East, and then look at Sweden and Finland, which were always maintaining absolute neutrality...

@Darkpriest also if the intel about Shoygu is real... Well, now that he has a big target painted on his face, he could make some moves, even if it was the case, that he never planned anything in the first place...

From what my family were telling me for the decades, the Soviet negotiations were always of the kind, where someone was holding his gun to your face, until you signed their initial proposal 😢 Putin's predecessors were used for decades to only demand under the threat of violence and fearmongering... And Putin as am KGB agents were conditioned in the same way of thinking...

Well, if it is true, that Russia allocated 95% of their army to Ukraine conflict, there is a pretty high probability, that with more Russian casualties, there will start some insurgencies at smaller Russian States, you never know... Or it's just maybe my wishful thinking... For a start the real Chechens, not the Kadyrov bootlickers might probably start something which might sparkle something bigger... EDIT: Answering to @Elerond
