Very similar to the odd performance of the late Kirill Stremousov (former Russian-appointed governor of Kherson), who sang last fall that Russia was anywhere he could drive his tank.

By the way, on Sunday, it's supposed to warm up to 48 degrees in the north and 15 degrees in the south. The ground will thaw, and the mud season will begin.

What I am reading from meteorologists is that, because Ukraine had a mild and relatively dry winter, the mud season should be shorter and finish earlier than it did last year.

So, I have been speculating that Ukraine's major offensive might start at the beginning of May, but better weather this year means it might start mid-April.

Then proceeds to list off Russian propaganda talking points.


What talking points? I personally know of 2 case officers that worked on the 2014 fiasco under Obama. But hey what would I know….I just served with them when I was in. Maybe I will reference the white paper written ~2006 by 2 CIA Directors that predicted this would occur if we accepted nations that border Russia into NATO. So please tell me again what propaganda I am referencing?

Today's $500 million package of military aid did not include any new systems.

Putin was emboldened to bring the world to the brink of WWIII? And y’all are cheering it on from your moms basement jerking off to Reddit combat footage?

The only people who actually believe that this is all about NATO and the CIA, have zero clue about Russia and Putin. They ignore that to him the greatest calamity in the 20th century is the splintering of the USSR. Ukraine voting overwhelmingly to become independent is how that actually happened. Commies actually hate Ukraine for this with a passion. BTW, 92% in the Donbas voted to leave the USSR, so get over it already.



You watch Yoo much MSNBC.

Is Putin a dick….yes

Is Zelensky a corrupt PoS….yes

What actions led to this action. We (the USA) meddled in the Ukrainian affairs and helped overthrow Putin’s puppet. This is a fact, at the bare minimum Victoria Noland and her DoS crew had their dirty hands all over this! Then Biden did two things. He created a huge goat frick of a PR problem via the handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and then ran his mouth about adding Ukraine to NATO. These are all absolute 100% factual statements. This was all due to some really bad US policy implementation.

Lastly Russia is not a threat to the United States and we shouldn’t waste a dime on a corrupt authoritarian leader like Zelensky. If he was the hero that MSNBC tries to make him out to be why would he jail & ban his political opposition? But but we are fight a foe and defending democracy! SMDH.

So are the people in Ohio but frick them, right?


so gonna go over a lot of bullshite that has been blasted in this thread last couple days

but

#1) AS I Posted on PT...you stupid fricks dont know shite about what is going on in ohio. you stupid fricks said"why didnt they just dump it on the ground" that is how little you understand about VC.

a) a controlled burn like they elected to do is the SOP in a situation like that where pressurized VC is leaking, especially when near a flame source

b) its reported the outlets on the cars where damaged or unaccessable

so again, you dont know what the frick you are talking about. i work with VC daily btw and yall sound like complete idiots to anyone with any sense. To be expected though when half the PT is construction workers with an IQ of under 100

C) the president has absolutely zero to do with what is going on in ohio



ok i think i cleared the ohio situation up


1) the downvoting of Darth for sayign Biden seems out of touch with domestic issues is dumb. so many of yall have become what you say the PT has become, just other side of the coin.

darth is right, in that more americans would prolyl support ukraine if domestic matters where not such a mess. he has been horrible when it comes to domestic issues.

I do not know if this would have happened under trump. no clue. anyone assuming either way is completely guessing too. but no denying the american people are extremely frustrated with inflation and crime issues. also border issues

2) afgan was fumbled, biden did seem weak AF. there is no denying that. dunno if this played a role in putins thinking or not, but could have. we have no clue, anyone that says they do either way is guessing

3) for those bitching about the money....we have spent less than 15% of the defence budget for the year to destroy nor over 60% of russian convential capability. If the defense budget is not for that....i dunno what it is for.

i am about as big a fiscal hawk as there comes, but bitching about the ROI we are currently getting is dumb

4) Zelensky does need to cool the rhetoric on china. Focus should be on russia and immediate neighbors in his public rhetoric. if he wants to discuss china, do so publically

5) china is already being squeezed from all sides, no way would they turn and support russia more. but if they do, we will break them through sanctions and attrition. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool. They are a house of cards, suporting russia would be the thing that sends their country in to a fammin and would stave & kill close to half a billion in a year. it would mean the collapse of the communist gov. cant and wont happen

6) manufacturing is already moving to mexico due to labor cost & constant hostage situations from the chinese. mexico will replace china in the next 2 decades as our #1 base of manufactoring. which will be a god send for the US and mexico and will solve a lot of issues with illegal immigration because they will stop in mexico now or mexico will elect to build a wall on a much much smaller border than we have with them.




i will be taking a break from the board, all social media, and all forms of news for lent.

but i will leave it at, Putin is still a piece of shite and the russians are pieces of shite, biden still sucks as president, the roi is still good for the money we have spent and come end of summer, Ukraine will have made huge gains.

yall hold it down and dont be like the guys on the PT where you auto downvote things without looking at the merrit of the arguement, other wise no difference between them and you

And the United States has stopped that, and will continue to deter Mr. Putin.

If you cant think a little bigger than my team your team this may be a bit over your head. But there is a my team your team board and I bet they share your views.

Putin has been ruler of Russia for years now and has invaded neighboring countries. He and his friends have accumulated enormous wealth.

Zelensky was elected president about three years ago and inherited a civil war, Russian troops in his borders and now more Russian troops in his country; yet some make him the bad guy and ridicule him.

What a joke.


Do you know Zelensky’s estimated net worth? He didn’t make that type of money being a comic in a 3rd World country bro!

The blind ones are the people whose hatred for Biden leads them to say that we should let Russia conquer Ukraine.


Well is this a European issue? The answer is yes!

Did we help create the current situation? The answer is yes!

Have we out spent the Russian military budget and sent twice as much money as all other countries combined? The answer is yes.

Now lump all this together and understand that I firmly stand with Darth’s position. I don’t care if we support Ukraine….just not to the extent we have and I really could give a shite less who wins. They both suck. Putin is a dick and Zelensky is corrupt money grubbing PoS. Now I wish we cut about 75% of that spend and put it towards a border wall, increasing Border Patrol funding and maybe start up mental hospitals again rather than beat our chest about a proxy war against somebody that isn’t a true foe. Now if this was China I would be all in to topple them.

So you admit that Putin “meddled in the Ukrainian affairs” and give him a free pass but when we help the Ukrainian people overthrow said puppet, you get your parties in a wad. Ok tankie.

It is a fraction of the Richest man in the world. But a billion is still a billion. Especially by a B list comic that only has been in power about 6 years…..give him some time and he may catch up to the POS in the Kremlin though.

Careful, logical arguments are frowned upon, we only have emotional posts in this thread.

Tell us what you know about Zelensky's "estimated" net worth is, and the sources for those "estimates"?
He has been in office for three years, and he could be Al Capone and nobody is likely to have a sound basis for such an estimate.
