Ukraine has lost nothing. Russia just sent in 120 missiles they don't have and Ukrainians shot them all down. I suppose all that black smoke was the result of festivities from outdoor barques. This is Western media. No such thing as the fog of war. Create, post and pass it on. Well as winter sets in things will be difficult to spin. The Northern areas are frozen but the southern areas remain unfrozen as yet.

#1 Remember Russia only sent in 20,000 because the Ukrainians were brothers for many years. The soft approach didn't work. So now Russia is amassing everything. The backbone of Z is the west. First you bully, then sanctions, send money, equipment then troops. WW11 was the beginning at its end. How many wars or conflicts have we had since then and what was accomplished. Create emergencies and send money and who benefits from this spending. Emotion rules the herd. Logic is abandoned.

It seems in the middle 90s Pakistan wanted some cheap good tanks so bought 380 some T80s from Ukraine and manufactured in Kharkov. They still use them. Pakistan never forgot. When India made the oil deal with Russia after the war started Pakistan decided to sell weapons to India's ally Russia’s enemy making a point to India and return of a favor to Ukraine and make $. England has been transporting the ammo from Pakistan.

Remember Russia only sent in 20,000 because the Ukrainians were brothers for many years.
From time to time brothers in the Cain and Abel style, Dale. You seem to be completely ignoring the Holodomor years that shaped the outlook of modern Ukrainians, when Stalin’s forced collectivization of Ukraine’s Kulak independent small farmers coupled with increased production demands to resulte in the starvation deaths of between 3 million and 9 million Ukrainians — unlike the Nazis, the Communists did not bother to keep accurate records of such things.
Think Irish Potato Famine, only deliberately engineered for the effect.
Two enabling acts no one owns:
Your mysterious death, Gareth Jones,
And the starving of millions
Of Stalin's civilians.
The Times goes ballistic:
"It's just a statistic!"
Oh, no! Uncle Joe
Throws the stone to a foe
Who would use it on him!
Enter God, looking grim;
Quickly given the hook,
He returns to His Book.
Cue Max Fleischer cartoon: dancing bones.
Whew.

[REGNUM] For the first time, Russian President Vladimir Putin 's New Year's address to fellow citizens was not recorded against the backdrop of the Moscow Kremlin. The President of Russia, breaking tradition, appeared surrounded by military personnel.
At the same time, the video greeting became the longest in time: it lasted nine minutes instead of the usual five.
In his New Year's address to the citizens of Russia, Putin called 2022 the year that "put a lot in its place, separated courage and heroism from betrayal and cowardice." As the President of Russia noted, against the backdrop of ongoing events, in the outgoing year it became obvious that "there is no higher power than love for one's family and friends, loyalty to friends and comrades, devotion to one's Fatherland."
As Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov clarified earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin arrived at the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don on December 31, where the New Year's greetings were recorded.
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
How did an American diplomat manage to graduate from university with absolutely no knowledge of history?
Are the British indigenous to Nigeria? And the French in Algeria? Portuguese in Angola? The countries mentioned by McFaul are far from each other, do not have common borders, and people have fundamentally different cultures. And Nigeria has not bombed the indigenous population of Britain for 8 years.
A sensible start...
And the Russians in Ukraine are the indigenous people who have lived there for centuries. This is RUSSIAN LAND, for centuries. And without any colonialism. And the Ukrainians themselves are Russians. Eastern Ukraine is 80% ethnic Russians even now, when Ukrainians are singled out.
....and then he goes off the rails and falls into the ravine canyon.
Rather, I compare the situation as if Bavaria had separated from modern Germany and they would begin to call themselves Bavarians, opposing themselves to the Germans, developing German sentiments in the country. Plus, they would begin to develop Nazi ideology in Bavaria, sing songs "our father is Hitler, and Bavaria is our mother." What would Michael call it???
European Conservative might have some thoughts, were Berlin to start bombing Munich.
And why is McFaul silent about Israel in his examples?
What has Israel to do with anything?
How about the war in North Korea, the war in Vietnam, the invasion of Cuba, Panuma,
...is that supposed to be Panama?
Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria? How about the fact that the Americans drove warships far and wide many thousands of kilometers from their coast, but close to the coast of China? Or is it "do you not understand this other thing?"
Yes, and about something else significant, Michael modestly "kept silent" and "did not notice." These are extensions of the influence of the extremely hostile Alliance near the borders of Russia.

Oh dear. The Bavarians have called themselves Bavarians for more than a thousand years. Bavaria was already a state before Russia even existed.
It's always embarrassing if you try to give history lessons to others if you don't know shit about history yourself.
"Eastern Ukraine is 80% ethnic Russians even now, when Ukrainians are singled out."
Indeed. Bavaria would be quite flat without mountains.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Bris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] For the second time in a week, the RF Armed Forces dealt a massive blow to Ukrainian infrastructure.
Various objects were hit in Kyiv, Nikolaev, Kramatorsk, as well as in Kyiv, Zaporozhye, Kharkov, Ternopil, Vinnitsa, Khmelnitsky, Nikolaev regions.
In Kyiv, a hotel arrived with foreign mercenaries. At least 2 air defense missiles fell on residential areas.
In Nikolaev, targets in the city were successfully hit. In Kramatorsk, the industrial zone is once again covered.
In addition to air and sea-based missiles, various UAVs were used in the strikes. In a number of regions of Ukraine, the power is turned off. There are interruptions in communication and the Internet.
In Ukraine, people continue to be intimidated. demanding not to publish the results of the strikes, so that later they could lie about "almost all the downed missiles that ended back in March."
Photo/video, as usual, see in the cart https://t.me/boris_rozhin The shots from Astrakhan, over which a wave of cruise missiles passed, turned out to be especially epic.
Zelensky's gang tried to fire on Dzhankoy (all UAVs were shot down by air defense) and threaten to carry out terrorist attacks on Russian territory on New Year's holidays. Perhaps they will try to launch UAVs in the direction of the Moscow region or carry out terrorist attacks somewhere else. In this regard, their threats are little different from the threats of the leaders of ISIS, who in 2015 threatened Russia with terrorist attacks after the start of the operation in Syria.
