For anyone wondering why the tiny Snake Island has been a high priority target for both sides.


Quote:
Control of Snake Island currently enables Ukraine to claim territorial waters that extend 12 nautical miles in all directions from the island, which helps safeguard the Black Sea shipping corridor to major Ukrainian port cities Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson. This Black Sea access is crucial to Ukraine's grain and metals exports, as well as consumer good imports. Without a viable shipping lane to global markets, the Ukrainian economy would rapidly plunge into crisis.

Also, Achilles, yes that Achilles, allegedly is buried there and the island is haunted by his ghost.

Quote:
According to legend, Achilles was buried on Snake Island. The eighth- or seventh-century B.C. poem the Aethiopis relates that, after he received his fatal ankle injury at Troy, Achilles' remains were transported to the White Island by his mother Thetis. In antiquity the small island was said to be haunted by his ghost,

Assuming one more location gets pushed east by UKR like what is happening at Kharkiv, we may see putin declare special operation is over and begin to act as if they have freed the east and will move to de-escalation talks demanding that everything they have taken is now back in russian control just like it was supposed to be.
Very possible within the coming weeks. Throw in a voluntary Russian ceasefire, offers for peace negotiations, and multiple magnanimous humanitarian gestors to flip the narrative.

Hopefully Zelensky and the rest of the world tell putin to go **** himself and that UKR forces will continue eastward until all russian forces have been removed from pre 2014 UKR territory, ALL kidnapped citizens are returned, and a mechanism for reparations is established.

Discussions for reductions in sanctions can begin shortly after that to include nuke by back and other various security agreements (not that they ever follow them anyway)
You are living in a fantasy land as bad as the Russians if you believe that Putin would ever agree to reparations to pay for damage in Ukraine.

We didn't even have the Germans pay reparations to all the numerous countries they demolished in WWII.

Unfortunately some bad news after a good story. This is starting to make the rounds.

Uhm.

Quote:
Beginning before the German surrender and continuing for the next two years, the United States pursued a vigorous program of harvesting all technological and scientific know-how as well as all patents and many leading scientists in Germany (known as Operation Paperclip).

Historian John Gimbel, in his book Science Technology and Reparations: Exploitation and Plunder in Postwar Germany, states that the "intellectual reparations" (referring to German scientists) taken by the Allies amounted to close to $10 billion.

German reparations were partly to be in the form of forced labor. By 1947, approximately 4,000,000 German POWs and civilians were used as forced labor (under various headings, such as "reparations labor" or "enforced labor") in Europe, Canada and the United States after the end of the Second World War.

I think most of Europe isn't happy with the Germans lack of help so far, they are getting a lot of bad press and rightfully so… maybe they will get their chit together finally on this issue

I think he figured out that it was bad for Germany to be seen as being on the same side as the war criminals for two wars in a row.

Russia won WW2 single-handedly and the rest of everyone else are Nazis just like Hitler's Germany. Yeah. This is totally headed toward a sane outcome. Morons.
