I agree, my problem is that in this case at least the people who are pro-Ukraine won't admit it's even a possibility NATO members may have done this because it'd make their "team" look bad. I'm not saying this doesn't go both ways as well, I lean toward Russia in this but I think they have fucked up badly multiple times and groups like Wagner are nothing more than psychopaths for pay but I can admit that because I haven't fully bought into a narrative like some people have.
This is actually a bad thing for Russia, they had a great setup with Bakhmut in that it was causing Verdun level casualties for Ukraine, that entire thing was basically drafted straight from Falkenhayn's playbook. He created the conditions at Verdun not to take land but to bleed the French army of trained personnel. If Ukraine actually discontinued their attempts to hold this position it would probably be the first intelligent thing they've done in some time.
This is called "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." China and India hate each other, but since Western hegemony is against them, they can cooperate with each other and Russia; plus, Russia and China are pushing French influence out of Africa, and Russia with Assad are fighting against the United States and "moderate rebels" in Syria, Ukraine is one of the scenes of more global events.
Embezzlement and laundering for US, EU, and Ukrainian politicians/oligarchs.
Probably for the best
Getting routed from kyiv/kharkiv/lyman/kherson and losing ten times more men and material in mere months than the US and friends did in multiple middle eastern wars in decades - "Totally not a big deal and a glorious strategic feint and the numbers were all faked by the jews guiz"
...of calling events during this three day war I would probably wait and see before proudly and loudly declaring yet another glorious russian victory, but what do I know, i aint a seething cat troon.
Money laundering. Like let's be real, the reason most of the slavic shitholes are in the EU and NATO to begin with is to give people a "safe" place to do all their corruption in. Say what you will about the Balkans but at least they keep their corruption home grown, they don't actively import it.
Sounds like the divide is being drawn. How long before this comes to a head now we got lines in the sand?
Wasn’t it said laundering went on BEFORE this conflict?
He is already somewhat well-known here, the last time he spoke about how Russians are not familiar with street lights and asphalt. German globohomo breaks even the Russians.View attachment 4062471

One minute of googling has revealed that this person lives in germany and currently serves as "representetive of Heinrich Böll Foundation in Ukraine".
Another one minute of googling has revealed that Heinrich Böll Foundation is "legally independent political foundation. Affiliated with the German Green Party".
So he is an immigrant, who works for the foundatin wich has connection to the most leftist (in a bad sense of the word) party in germany, maybe in europe.
My point is- not sure if anyone has mentioned this ITT, but never never trust russian-speaking migrants when they start telling you something about russia. Russian immigrants unironically hate russian and its population. Im not defending any point of view here- but the trash you see in the pics are just examples. Im trying to figure out why though.
Was it hatred that gave them enough strengh to move so now they cant stop?
Or do they serve some political agenda and this is just another way of creating a "public opinion" that russians=nazis?
Or is he spewing general leftist propaganda like leftist in USA?
Or is he insane?
upd: Oh yeah, he is clearly pushing an agenda since at least 2013. Check out his "articles".

Who knows? I would say at least a decade. We have returned to the Cold War with proxy wars, but the participants are shadows of themselves.
Right, but war spending is orders of magnitude more than mere financial aid.
You are mostly right, they are being replaced by fresh units, but those units are russian
