re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The mighty military of the USSR could not defeat CIA-trained Mujaheideen - who did not have helicopters or jets or tanks - in Afghanistan over 8 years... and before it's equated to Vietnam where they were far from their territory, the Soviet Union directly bordered Afghanistan.
The prediction of the future of this if Russia should somehow succeed in capturing all of Ukraine is what went on in the Donbas, just on a nation-wide scale... and insurgents basing operations out of Poland and Moldova... but with attacks in Russia itself, also.

The Russian attitude is,
Life is suffering, but you shouldn’t be unhappy about it
The Russian people and Russia are more important than the individual, and your sense of duty is paramount
As Gogol wrote

‘I sorrow not to part from the world. God grant every man such an end! May the Russian land be forever glorious!’ And Bovdug’s spirit flew above, to tell the old men who had gone on long before that men still knew how to fight on Russian soil, and better still, that they knew how to die for it and the holy faith.
It’s an aristocratic warrior culture

Lets hope they learned some lessons from the last major river crossing they tried. That one didn't end to well for Russia.

The better part of two or more Russian army battalions—potentially 100 vehicles and more than a thousand troops—in recent days tried to cross a pontoon bridge spanning the Siverskyi Donets River, running west to east between the separatist provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian artillery caught them at the river bank—and destroyed them. The rapid destruction of around six dozen tanks and other armored vehicles, along with the bridge itself, underscores Russia’s deepening woes as its troops try, and fail, to make meaningful gains in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.

State Department officials want to unfreeze US aid to Ukraine, Politico reports
by Abbey Fenbert February 26, 2025 12:13 AM
Officials at the U.S. State Department are requesting exemptions to Washington's freeze on foreign aid that would free up funds for Ukraine, Politico reported on Feb. 25.
The U.S. imposed a 90-day freeze on nearly all foreign aid projects when President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20. The funding freeze affected critical humanitarian aid and reconstruction programs in Ukraine.
Senior State Department officials are putting together a list of exemptions for Ukraine, Politico reported, citing an official, two other sources with knowledge of the matter, and a document obtained by the outlet.
These exemptions would extend beyond the U.S. waiver for "life-saving" programs and would allow Ukraine to receive funding for demining, narcotics control, and civil society projects.
Plans for the additional Ukraine exemptions have been in the works since late January, Politico reported. Internal conversations regarding the matter took place as recently as last week.

The final version of the agreement, dated February 24 and seen by the FT, would establish a fund into which Ukraine would contribute 50 per cent of proceeds from the “future monetisation” of state-owned mineral resources, including oil and gas, and associated logistics. The fund would invest in projects in Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine is a giant money laundering slush fund for the deep state! - the Republican Party.
We have reached an agreement to formalize an actual slush fund with Ukraine! - also the Republican Party.

Did any of the regulars here ever acknowledge that 95% of their source material for this war turned out to be from the god damn USAID funding?

From the time Germany invaded Russia, until Germany surrendered was 202 weeks and 2 days.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022 it has been 156 weeks and 5 days.

A lot of them were covid vaccine enthusiasts and when that sham was exposed, they jumped to jerking off Zelenskyy. God only knows what the next bandwagon will be.

The PoliBoard has scooped the NYT, WP, FT, Bloomberg, WSJ, Reuters and is reporting that the war is over.
"BREAKING: Peace deal reached between Russia and Ukraine"
UPDATE: Now they are slowly realizing it might be fake news.

I think they wanted to pivot to climate or abortion again but, unfortunately for them, absolutely no one cares.
