Damn getting hectic. Is everyone punking Putin now?


He can say that, but I think that part of Moldova wants to be Russian right

They did. There's a lot of Russia friendly areas that ain't so friendly anymore. They probably don't want to run into the arms of NATO, but they are giving the middle finger to Putin.

China stabs Putin in the back.
This seems out of character for them

Not at all. It's a continuation of their Belt And Road Initiative. This is part of a grand strategy for China to build spheres of influence.

If China wants to come in and "rebuild" it's not out of the kindness of their hearts.

China cares about China first. If Putin had squashed Ukraine, it would be a different story. China ain't dumb, they play the long game.

Considering the disaster in Ukraine, I was hoping someone in the army leadership should have put a bullet in Putins head by now.
Or, Maybe Ukraine is a disaster because Putin got rid of any army leadership that was worth anything, and is now only surrounded by rich, fat sycophants

Putin promised the ccp that it would get done quickly. He didn't hold up his end. They are in damage control mode.

Anyways, to hell with both Putin and the ccp. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Tells me Russia is losing, badly. China, really the CCP, is always looking for a deal and a way to increase their relevance and power. Either Russia was going to repeat Georgia and Crimea and then the CCP would move on Taiwan or Russia would fail and the CCP wi try to fill the Eastern European power vacuum and maybe even make a move in Eastern Russia. Right now Russia is looking like a patsy for the CCP to play "good guy".

They have their fingers in Italian clothing, African raw materials and even mines in the US. They keep the money we spend on their junk working.

Agreed. They find a way to profit off of either outcome unless we cock block them.

China wins coming and going.

Putin could not get it done so this gives China license to extend Belt and Road Into Ukraine while at the same time patting Putin on the ass and whispering promises in his ear that China will bring investment dollars to Russia to help rebuild their economy.

Best play on the board and the Reds made it. Tip of the hat .

Don't think for a second Russia is not also a Belt and Road target. They're ripe for the picking.

Russia is taking a beating on the battlefield.
7000 KIA plus as many as 20,000 wounded

I would be surprised if the US is not already telling Ukraine they better not take a dollar from China if they want to keep getting weapons.

I wouldn't, and even if they did, I wouldn't expect Ukraine to listen. Ukraine is actively at war and will take everything they can get.

I don't take much prideful stock in this. Do not compare the US vs some illiterate yokels to the US vs. a modern military in a direct, somewhat proportionally organized conflict. Would I expect the US to wipe the floor with them? Absolutely. Would I expect it to be an easier time as backwaters like Afghanistan and Iraq? No.

I mean in reference to rebuilding.

Seeing some videos or pictures of the dead and body parts laying around I've been able to manage. Every so often there may be a video that really is harder to stomach and different from others, usually more from civilians just being targeted for no reason.

But when it comes to seeing these children and reading some of the stories of parents losing babies and toddlers that are just full of innocence, absolutely breaks my heart. I have two under 2.5 years, and I just can't imagine something happening to them. Truly gut wrenching.

I thought that the Ukes would do this with the help of U.S. intel.

Yup, Ukraine has the intelligence of the entire Western world at it's fingertips. Let's hope they have enough fighters, food and water to make good use of it.

We probably are. The ability to get the SIM/IMEI, as well as geolocation calculation ain't off the shelf products.

I can watch videos of dead terrorists or grown soldiers and be pretty unphased..

But since I've got kids of my own, 3 under 4, I cant watch those poor kids in warzones, completely innocent and not think of my own if we were unfortunate enough to be in that situation.

It's horrible. I wish we could just all treat eachother like humans.

We are treating each other like humans. Despite the tech its consistent with history. We've always had war many of them worse than this one.

Accept the money, but don't accept anything with strings attached.

This has been debunked at least once, not saying he is not dead now but Russian bots are alive and well. Don't be shocked if they did bomb that theatre and there are a high number of casualties, both sides are playing the trolling game
