I honestly don't know how all those people at the UN can contain themselves.

Never seen this level of begging for an extra powerful PK.

 

[ghaye]

Do yo want all the Russians to start coming here?

Might actually help to increase our average IQ.

Somebody should walk up to that guy and give him a PK every time he tries to speak authoritatively on matters of human rights.

Until he pisses himself the moment even the thought comes up to do it.

Might actually help to increase our average IQ.

Looking at how stupid Russia's currently acting, an increase is not what I would bet on.

 

[ghaye]

I never said the Russian are clever.

Kazakhstan ends indefinite stays for Russians​

Kazakhstan will no longer allow Russian citizens to stay in the Central Asian country indefinitely by doing so-called visa runs every three months, according to a government directive published this week.
The Kazakh government will discontinue the practice from January 26 and will require Russians and citizens of other members of the Eurasian Economic Union, a post-Soviet bloc, to leave the country for at least 90 days after the permitted three-month stay.
Tens of thousands of Russians, mostly young and middle-aged men, relocated to Kazakhstan last year as Moscow, embroiled in the Ukraine conflict, launched its first conscription campaign since World War II.

Sorry boys, it’s off to the frontline for you, remember to take your life savings with to buy your kit and replenishments.

I really hope that it has nothing to do with assassinating Zelenskyy

Ah, I see you might need me to post the facts for the 33rd time. That's how often your narrative has been debunked.

Posting the facts about Ukrainians in the Donbas killed.... by Ukrainian armed forces. 33 times. Thanks man! Narrative confirmed. And don't forget to post the escalation that occurred in 2022 just before the Russians started. And don't lie again, you have not done that.

Anyway, what a joke this is:

Putin’s War Crimes Could Be Prosecuted In The United States

On Thursday, January 5, 2023, President Joe Biden signed into law the bipartisan Justice for Victims of War Crimes Act (S. 4240), which expands the scope of individuals subject to prosecution for war crimes.

Watch and learn, Putin simps.

Never too late to turn your back on stupid.

Quoting Kissinger is an own goal.

I am supprised to see you not quoting it it since it apparently supports your argument.

Apparently they are increasing production of the SU-57 so expect to see more of those flying about.

When they don't even have bearings for train wheels nor brake pads for aircraft due to sanctions?

I am supprised [sic] to see you not quoting it it since it apparently supports your argument.

Frome here:

Here are the figures for those killed since 2014:

Civilian deaths per year:

25 in 2021
26 in 2020
27 in 2019
55 in 2018
117 in 2017
112 in 2016
954 in 2015
2084 in 2014

We can see that more than half each year from 2018 onwards were caused by unexploded munitions and mines.

Total conflict-related casualties in Ukraine in 2014-2021:

OHCHR estimates the total number of conflict-related casualties in Ukraine from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021 to be 51,000–54,0008: 14,200-14,400 killed (at least 3,404 civilians, estimated 4,400 Ukrainian forces, and estimated 6,500 members of armed groups), and 37-39,000 injured (7,000–9,000 civilians, 13,800–14,200 Ukrainian forces and 15,800-16,200 members of armed groups12).

If it's not clear to those who refuse to comprehend, the figures above indicate that conflict-related deaths dramatically reduced in 2015 (by more than half), then reduced by a further 89 percent in 2016, held steady for a year, then reduced by an additional fifty percent (on the 2016/2017 number) in 2018, and another fifty percent (on the 2018 number) from 2019 onwards.

If anything those numbers appears to demonstrate a radical reduction in hostilities and, in the absence of other information, may in fact point to peace being achieved in the 'disputed' region.

And for some reason the poor old sod does not want to include this:

The conflict in Ukraine’s Donbas region is escalating rapidly

Russian-backed separatists appear responsible for ratcheting-up hostilities in recent days

www.economist.com

Shelling intensifies in eastern Ukraine amid concern Russia's creating a pretext for an invasion

Russian-backed separatists accuse Ukraine's forces of planning an imminent attack and announce a massive evacuation of civilians to Russia.

The breakaway territories go on a war footing amid fears Russia will use them as a pretext to invade.

Russian-backed separatists to evacuate civilians from eastern Ukraine, stoking invasion fears

The move comes amid a spike in shelling in the area, with tensions rising once again after the West disputed Moscow’s claims of a troop pullback.

www.nbcnews.com

You see, in 2014 there was an escalation in hostilies followed by thousands of civilian deaths.
Just before the Russian operation there was also an escalation.

Russia, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran and several African countries. Not to mention some other Eastern block countries like Belarus. If we look at other countries like India then they are more likely to be on Russia's side than NATO even with the little tiff with China where the hit each other with sticks. India will not side with any alliance that includes Pakistan due to their history.

Russia; - Shown to be a paper tiger.
China; - has not participated in any operations for over half a century. Doctrine untried and inexperienced.
Saudi; - US supplied weapons. Spares and tech problem fighting against NATO.
Iran; - Incompetent militarily.
Africa; - Surely you jest?
India; - Wouldn't dare take on NATO due to fears of Paki invasion.

Brovary crash that killed Ukrainian officials ‘suspicious’: Analyst​

Poor visibility in Brovary may have been a factor behind the crash of the helicopter that killed at least 16 people, Peter Zalmayev has told Al Jazeera.
However, the incident was “very suspicious, I would not rule out a possible terrorist act by the Russian Federation,” the analyst at the Eurasia Democracy Initiative said.
Helicopter pilots know the area they fly in and the potential obstacles regardless of weather conditions, according to Zalmayev. The Ukrainian government was also avoiding commenting on the nature of the mission that required the presence of senior interior ministry officials aboard the helicopter.

The amount of videos out there of artillery strikes against Wagner troop concentrations beat Solenar are almost heartbreaking. It is such a waste.

There are also videos of fields of Wagner mass graves, most conservative estimates are saying about 25k losses for Wagner over the last month or so, they are going to be a completely spent force in the next few weeks if they aren't already.
