I wanna see Putin go full retard and try for the whole enchilada. Maybe even go past the Ukranian border into Moldova and kick this shitshow into an S tier happening.
I don't see Putin going into Moldova. Even most of their pro-western parties are for neutrality as they saw what happened when you cross Russia. There's little reason for Putin to take it, unlike Ukraine.
 
It worked with Yugoslavia with Serbia and Republika Srpska
"it worked" is a big euphemism lol
bosnia to this day is basically just locked in a perpetual armistice that is enforced by the looming threat of NATO intervention. if the NATO factor was removed, they would resume the war exactly where they stopped 25 years ago.
 
To be fairly honest, despite being very disrespectful to see Ukraine being torn apart, that seems to be a great solution to this issue.
The war stops, one part goes to the EU, the other doesn't, everybody gets what they want. It worked with Yugoslavia with Serbia and Republika Srpska, why can't Ukraine and Russia?

I would go with German. Switzerland has the capacity to put all their citizens into bunkers so if a nuclear war breaks out the Swiss will rise to rule the world (wahtever is left) But in the nice friendlcy Swiss German not the hard rude German
So what we're saying is it's going to be a war over the rubble between those two snowy SW- countries that everyone mixes up.
 
The Ukes should put plenty of MANPADS in those areas, do point defenses of the factory areas. Don't believe the Russians are sending strategic bombers. Strike aircraft could well be vulnerable. Drones...not sure if they have enough of a heat signature for a Stinger to home in on.

Maybe it's time for Uke drones to hit Russian/Belarus power distribution stations in range. Knock out some big transformers, maybe. Not always quick and easy to replace.

It would be stupid for the Russian Air Force to fly low enough that MANPADS could engage them, they're supposed to have learned that lesson from the Georgia war. Unless they need to ensure accuracy if they're using iron bombs. Seems stupid to risk a SU-34 to save on your guided bomb stocks.

Not saying it won't happen, just confirming it would be stupid.
 
Funny thing is countries which secede successfully in a peaceful manner... tend to stay peaceful afterwards. See: Czechoslovkia splitting into Czech Republic and Slovakia respectively. Or a less recent example, Malaysia expelling Singapore in 1965.
Singapore only managed to survive (and prosper) because Lee Kuan Yew was fucking Godlike in statemanship. He basically influenced every top politicians and leaders in South East Asia and Asia in general after that
The problem with globohomo dying is that, dystopian as it is, the competing alternative ideologies are even worse.
This is something that lots of people don't realize, they're too fixated against the globohomo that they don't realize the alternatives are not exactly better. Its perhaps even worse
Looks like TikTok got banned in Russia too, a little strange since the Chinese government bought at least a third share of the parent company, but eh. More degeneracy banned from Russia, LOL! Putin boutta send in more troops for more "sanctions!"
(archive.md super slow these days, neat.)
Russia is trying to control the flow of news about the war, that's why they're passing that "fake news" law. Its very common for wartimes in history (even US also did it), but still shitty for my eyes. The thing about Tiktok was it was one of the few last social media open to both Russia and the west in the country, and they only managed to do so because they're Chinese. Now that they decided to leave Russia means that not even the connection with China can save Tiktok from being targeted by the Russian apparatus
The Ukrainian military say that in the area of Severodonetsk, Lugansk region, a counterattack was carried out on the Russian military, breaking one of the groups of the RF Armed Forces, but most likely these are LDNR militants.
@ConflictZone
I was always wondering what is the Ukrainian counterattack ability was, since its been demonstrated their entire battle plan is defensive in nature. I wonder when they will launch a counteroffensive though, if they're able to
Globohomo is necessarily predicated on American unipolar hegemony, which is starting to fail in earnest.

You think the Chinks or the Indians or the Russians are going to adopt these ideas? Not a chance.
The very idea that people thought that China, India, and Russia could work together in harmony is laughable. The only reason they seemed to want to work together now was because the three of them are led by Strongman politicians. The loss of Putin could led some risk to their power, hence why India and China looked like they wanted to help Russia. These are men of huge ego, there's no way in hell they could and wanted to share power and work together as one. They simply don't have that much in common
 
I wanna see Putin go full retard and try for the whole enchilada. Maybe even go past the Ukranian border into Moldova and kick this shitshow into an S tier happening.
Why would you not at this point? The west has decided to escalate and there's nothing to lose.

Honestly we should have just let the Balkanars kill each other to the last man.
 
Interesting post regarding the effects on the aviation industry of all these airspace blocks and fuel price rises. TLDR Turks might benefit

"Apparently, we (we - not in the sense of citizens of Russia, but the whole world) are waiting for a grand redistribution of the aviation market and the world map of flights. Moreover, unprecedented in scale and depth, since 1946."
The coronavirus has already dealt a powerful blow to civil aviation in 2020, and Artem Drabkin and I even made a video about it at Taktik-Media. At the end of 2020, the ranking of world airports has undergone huge changes and the Moscow hub (3 airports) has reached the 1st place in Europe and in the top 10 in the world, which has never happened at all. Then the European hubs suffered the most (especially the hub of London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris), and the USA, Russia and China strengthened due to the large internal communication. But the Trans-Siberian corridor was not closed to anyone, and transcontinental flights with the highest profit margin still worked.

In February 2022, global aviation experienced a second blow, even more powerful. With the start of the Ukrainian special operation, the EU countries and the States banned the flights of Russian airlines and recalled leasing aircraft (which they refused to give back). The Trans-Siberian corridor was closed in response to all "sanctions" countries in a mirror image. This means that the time for flights increases by 2-5 hours, respectively (depending on the take-off airport) and costs by 15-35%. As a result of the sharp rise in oil prices, jet fuel will soon become much more expensive and costs will rise further.

Therefore, the air sanctions initiated by the EU countries are shooting in the foot for both sides. It will be bad for Russia, but it will be even worse for European long-distance lines: most of them will close. The first signs have already appeared:
The Finnish airline Finnair Oyj sends 90 to 200 pilots and 150 to 450 flight attendants on forced unpaid leave. The reason is the retaliatory closure of the skies over Russia for the passage of Finnish aircraft, which is why the company incurs huge losses. In addition, some flights to the Asia-Pacific region were canceled, which provided up to 50% of the air carrier's profit.

In this situation, the main beneficiary will be the airlines of Turkey, the Middle East and China. And the Istanbul air hub has every chance of becoming the No. 1 hub of all of Europe and entering the Top 5 in the world, after Atlanta, Shanghai and Beijing. So the redistribution of the market has already begun before our eyes.
 
Idk, when you have companies virtue signaling their sanctions, Ukraine pressuring Coke and Pepsi to leave Russia over at Twitter, Russian citizens being detained on Canada just because they're Russian, and the Pedo Takei telling you to suck up the inflation to own Vlad I think that's clear it's cancel culture.

Call it by what it is. It's really sick how much twitterbrained current year is that this idiotic shit happens.

Cancel culture is not just “this person bad” but the whole lib circus they do to ostracize and claim their moral superiority.
The funny thing about pressuring Pepsi is that they were trading Pepsi with the Soviet Union during the cold war. Even continued when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. To the point where at one point they were accepting warships due to be scrapped as payment just before the Soviet Union collapsed. So Pepsi of all companies should really know that there's no long term benefit to them boycotting Russia over this. And when you've accepted "scrape metal, some disassembly required" as payment, payment processing being fucked in the short term shouldn't be a big hurdle.

They waited even longer for Tito to die, they'll wait this out as well. They really know how to hold a grudge in that corner of the world.
 
This is what I see happening, the only question that's there for me is if Kyiv is a EU puppet or Russian puppet.
No way Russia is going to expend all this time, money, and blood to capture K[y]i(e)v only to give it up at negotiations. Annexing the Capitol will give their own puppet state more percieved legitimacy.
