We weren't even discussing it, how could I be dodging it? Russian and German non-aggression would have been very interesting had Hitler not got on YEYO and dopamines and became insane. So millions died, he put a bullet in his head now half the German male population pisses like bitches while their women get harassed by African and Arab migrants in the streets.

The obviousness of your homoerotic comments is so strong that I was able to notice that you have a bit of a gay thing going on even though I haven't been posting here that long, relatively speaking. Everything is "so and so is SUCKING OFF Putin", "Russians are SUCKING OFF EACH OTHER in the trenches". Sounds like you have a fantasy. Its legitimately weird.

I am absolutely sure they are stealing money out the arse because its kind of what Ukrainians do, but being short on a budget isn't necessarily "missing the money" in the laundering/theft sense if you're implying that.

They even rob money from the military. Kickbacks to shady 3rd party dealers who don't have anything or have defective junk they mark up as "usable". Ukrainians got "screwed" on several 100-million dollar deals.
Their own manufacturers making faulty shells and shipping out as good.

Ukraine is just a shittier Russia who knows they're going to lose, so they're robbing what they can while the juice is still flowing, or even trickling.

Worse Russia living up to their rep.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielmarkind/2025/04/23/corruption-in-ukraine-spells-potential-trouble-for-post-war-economic-rebuilding/
Ever since the relationship between former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma became public, Ukrainian energy companies have been in the public eye. That remains the case, as the Trump Administration and Ukraine work to finalize a framework agreement where US companies could invest in Ukrainian resources and minerals. This appears to be for the purpose of funding potential reconstruction following the war with Russia. A problem has arisen, however, which appears to show that the Ukrainian government may be seizing assets unlawfully from privately owned companies in Ukraine’s gas, oil and minerals sectors for the benefit of the Kyiv central government and certain well-connected individuals. If true, this move could lead to years of court litigation, inhibit future private investment in Ukraine, and limit the nation’s ability to produce energy when it is most needed.
Among the companies targeted by the Ukrainian state are Enwell Energy, a public company traded on the London Stock Exchange, and Ukrnaftaburinnya (UNB). Since 2022, the Ukrainian government has proceeded systematically to expropriate the assets of these companies, diminishing the interests of private investors, and, in the end, decreasing the amount of energy actually produced.
According to Forbes Ukraine, UNB was, at one time, one of the three largest privately owned producers of oil and gas in Ukraine. It was developing the largest field in Ukraine, known as the Sakhalin Gas Condensate Field (no relation to Russia’s Sakhalin Island in the Pacific Ocean). By the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, Sakhalin was responsible for 5% of total Ukrainian natural gas production.
Then the trouble started. In 2023, the Ukrainian government began making moves to seize UNB, starting with a seizure of a stake in UNB by a Kyiv Court in 2023, under the claim that UNB was a material witness in a case to which it was not a party. By 2024, the government had replaced the management of the company, placed UNB entirely under state control, held corporate meetings to pass resolutions changing the composition of the company, amended the company’s charter, and distributed over $20M of the company’s assets as dividends that ended up in Ukrainian state coffers. The original management and shareholders in UNB had no say in these affairs.
UNB’s shareholders refused to go quietly. To date they have filed approximately twenty litigations in the Ukrainian courts, but few have confidence in the independence of the Ukrainian judiciary, which is moving very slowly on these cases. Shareholders of UNB have told Forbes they have approached international law firms about filing lawsuits seeking over $1B in compensation. Andriy Pasishnyk, CEO of JKX Oil and Gas Group, a British-owned private player in Ukrainian oil and gas, told Forbes that “unfortunately, as of today, the courts are in no hurry to take a stance in favor of justice and the rule of law, given the administrative pressure exerted by interested parties within the state authorities. New laws were retrospectively created, and artificial justifications for nationalization were invented to legitimize the process. This is not a matter of state policy – it is outright plunder, disguised under lofty slogans.”
Oleksy Goncharenko, a member of the Budget Committee of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, confirmed that corruption remains a serious problem in Ukraine and is not limited to energy. “Partly,” he notes, “some confiscations are justified because they were the property of Russian oligarchs...,” but this can extend beyond the property of such oligarchs, making it a very big national problem.
Ukraine’s energy issues are becoming more acute. With Russia continuing to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the actions against private energy companies seem irrational. Overall, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe, Ukraine’s natural gas storage has fallen to only 12% of its capacity, compared to 56% for the rest of Europe. Taking steps against one’s own energy industry at a time of existential peril seems unusual, but it raises the legitimate question of whether corruption in Ukraine is so endemic that it threatens the future of the state itself. JKX Oil and Gas Group, announced in February that it was being raided by law enforcement officers and was targeted by a defamation campaign in Ukraine aiming to create legal grounds for initiating a criminal investigation. Searches without court warrants were conducted at the offices of its subsidiary . Poltava Petroleum Company, and the homes of its senior executives, some of whom are citizens of the United States. Energy is not the only area where corruption threatens the stability of Ukraine. Currently, there is confusion about the status of American military aid to that country, which apparently totals approximately $177B since the start of the 2022 Russian war. Mr. Goncharenko, however, strongly disputes the claim that any military assistance has been misused or lost. All of this is properly accounted for, he insists.

"Single Concession"
Since when does the winner make Concessions? And if you are still living in a fantasy land about who Won this War then I suggest you stop begging for a Ceasefire and let's see what happens if the War continues

They didn't exist as a country long enough to have an army, but they had brutal killing and land disputes with Poland post Russian civil war.
They existed for 30 years. They have invaded Russia's Kursk region but got brutally beaten out of there in 8 months. Also they tried to enter another region, also failed. So 1 country, I suppose.

It's not a "Russian side". It's a realistic side. I'm quoting Reuters, irish news and business insider. I don't know all sources John B. posts from X, but much of it actually comes directly from Ukraine like the videos of kidnappings/beatings and combat footage is from military channels with footage speaking for itself.

Last I checked Russians were our allies during WW2.
They also helped the Union army(although I'm conflicted on that) during the American Civil war and there were cases of Russians serving in the Union army and they sent battleships to NY. They were "neutral" officially but they favored the union.
Like I said, I just have more of the story, and I suspect Mark Felton has this too. Russia first allied themselves with Nazi Germany.
We became their allies after they enabled Hitler to take Poland, France, Belgium, etc. when Germany declared war on us. You must know all this, right?

We all know that the US was giving aide to Russia pre Dec 1941.
We do actually know that Russia was aiding and abetting the Nazis before the pact with Germany. That comes from Russian archives which were open for a few years after the collapse of the USSR.
Let's also broach the subject of Russia being Christian yet its own TV stars are yelling Allahu Akbar with Chechen soldiers. That is NOT Christian or Jewish. That is Jihadi.
Go kiss some more icons.
