#vladimirputin We have seen our retirement funds and other investments drop in value. Even billionaires have seen big market losses. The conventional wisdom is that fear of inflation is depressing financial markets worldwide.
I have a contrarian view. I call it "The Fear of Vladimir Putin stock market." The Ukraine war has "turned the world on its ear." Energy markets have been disrupted. Food markets have been disrupted. Commodity markets have been disrupted. The New York Times came out with an Op-Ed yesterday pointing out all the awful things that Vladimir Putin can still do as he becomes a cornered wild animal.
This man is simply a bully and a thug. If people stand up to him, they will stop him. This "superman" has failed miserably in Ukraine with 80,000 men and women killed including a massive number of senior officers in 7 months. All his armed forces have failed. His Air Force cannot carry out serious combat operations because they do not have proper communications systems to keep their planes from being shot down by "friendly fire." His Navy is in hiding and will not come out and fight. We see corruption ad incompetence on a grand scale. There are all sorts of reports on the deterioration of his feared nuclear arsenal. How well will it work? I think not well.
Let us go back to the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and 1983. Mid-level Soviet officers (say Lt. Colonel) had their hands right on the keys to fire nuclear warheads. They both realized the enormity of such a move. They refused to fire. If history is any guide, the officers under Putin will not carry out the orders to fire nuclear weapons if Putin issues such orders.
If Putin does fire nuclear warheads, he will be hit by two US cyber-attacks lasting only nanoseconds. One will take his internet offline permanently. The other will take down his electricity grid for many months. (Imagine being with no electric power for 4-5 months!) Russia will break apart, as the old Soviet Union did.

Shaman says

The war began because the illegitimate Ukraine government wouldn’t stop shelling civilians in these breakaway regions and wiping out villages with their Nazi brigades. When Zelenskyy ordered the massive troop build up surrounding Donetsk, with intent to wipe it out for good, Putin was asked by the residents, most of who were Russian, to intervene. After a short war, the two countries were ready to charter out a peace, but Herr Biden came charging in to say “No Peace with Russia!” Then he offered the criminal Zelenskyy and his criminal cartel billions of US dollars to continue the war.


In other words, Putin did a full invasion of Ukraine because Ukraine would not accept losing a huge chunk of their country in the East to the previous Russian land grab. I highly doubt that Eastern Ukraine had majority Russian supporters anymore than Ukraine is run by Jewish Nazis. We have seen the sham elections this week with armed Chechen and Russian soldiers going door to door with ballots. Whatever Russian sympathetic Ukrainians were in the East are no longer there or have probably changed their minds after seeing the ineffective brutality of the Russian military.

Also, I don't recall Biden encouraging Zelensky to fight early on. Biden offered an evacuation to Zelensky in February when the war first started where Zelensky said he needs "bullets not a ride". Only after Ukraine was able to hold off the initial invasion did Biden and Europe see the light and begin major weapons shipments.

Highly doubtful - it was the Ukraine which did persistent shelling into the "breakaway" regions. It is highly likely and plausible that the majority in those regions wanted and wants to belong to Russia, whether they have a "right to belong" or not. I have known at least a few, and they were never intimated to think that way. Anecdotal evidence of course, but occams razor says putin "forcing the correct vote" in donbass/crimea militarily is a fairy tale at best, propaganda at worst. Whether it justifies what he did is doubtful as well, but it's at least understandable in the sense that it's not some erratic behavior of a madman, but a calculating leader/dictator. US/Nato did the same thing in ex-Yugoslvia/Kosovo, no questions asked or negotiations offered, just sudden warfare violating existing treaties to get the outcome they wanted.

Which wouldn't have happened if Russia didn't invade and grab the breakaway regions to begin with. Was Ukraine just supposed to sit back while Russia kept grabbing it's territory?

Again, if the Russian military were competent and pulled the invasion off in a few months with minimal loss of life - it would be a different story. It would still be an illegitimate invasion and land grab, but no one would be talking about using nukes or freezing out millions of people in Europe.

Russia's incompetence is putting the whole fucking world at risk.

Russia can not win a decisive conventional victory at this point. Long past time for them to pack up and go home. Eastern Ukraine will be a festering sore for Russia for years to come if they think they can try and hold onto it.
14   Shaman   2022 Sep 29, 2:13pm  

The Ukraine government wasn’t governing Donetsk. It was persecuting it. If a bully is tormenting a dog, and you take it away from him, did you steal the dog or liberate it?

Putin by his own words has shown how delusional he is.
Now he’s assuming the role of General, he thinks that he’s more capable than the ones who are failing.
The West has superior weapon technology, which Russia cannot match.
Throwing another hundred thousand or so men at the 1000 km long front won’t accomplish much except death for the unwilling Russian conscripts.
Putin is using terror, not military capabilities, against Ukraine.
Bombing shopping malls, train stations, targeting civilians, etc. will not achieve conquest of Ukraine.
I’m annoyed since this fool has fucked up things for no good reason.

Putin is deranged; lately he was ranting about the “satanic west” of “anglo saxons” and how he will “smash” them.

“A man has got to know his limitations” Dirty Harry.

The tragedy is most Russians don’t hate nor resent the West any more than Ukraine people do.

He’s like Dr. Evil gazing at the map of the former Soviet Union and a tear trickles down, how he misses the good old days which are gone forever.

After the hatchet job they did on Trump, I don't believe the demonization shit about Putin, it is sheer blather as usual usual.

The Russians are no angels (obviously), but they have shifted to frankness and open explanation of their policies that are shockingly refreshing compared with the 100 percent guaranteed Satanic inversion lies of our own so-called leaders. The Russians appear as seasoned, educated statesmen relative to the shallow, greedy, destructive crooks who now are in control of the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC.
32   NuttBoxer   2022 Sep 30, 12:37pm  

Again, I think the bar is set awfully low if the comparison is to our country's politicians. BRICS is just another NATO. Russia is just another angle on the same globalist agenda. Fuck 'em all!

Let’s answer some very simple questions for ourselves. I now want to return to what I said, I want to address all the citizens of the country – not only to those colleagues who are in the hall – to all the citizens of Russia: do we want to have, here, in our country, in Russia, parent number one, number two, number three instead of mom and dad – have they gone mad out there? Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed on children in our schools from the primary grades? To be drummed into them that there are various supposed genders besides women and men, and to be offered a sex change operation? Do we want all this for our country and our children? For us, all this is unacceptable, we have a different future, our own future - Putin, October 1, 2022
34   clambo   2022 Oct 2, 7:43am  

gabbar is just posting the part of Putin's speech which illustrates his distaste of the West and his almost muslim mentality.

What did this rant have to do with attacking Ukraine? Nothing at all.

I remember general Ripper in "Dr. Strangelove": "They want to contaminate our precious bodily fluids!" He started nuclear war to stop the dirty commies.

I don't consume media from the USA, however it's clear that Putin has lost his sense of perspective; he actually believed Ukraine wanted to be run by Russians. Even a very casual review of the history of Ukraine would reveal they don't like that idea one bit.

Putin's behavior is deranged; it doesn't matter what you think of the man personally. It doesn't matter if you like some of his opinions on the decay of our culture caused by woke pro tranny and gay agendas by teachers.

The invasion was a dumb plan from the very beginning; you can't attempt to conquer a huge country with an army of 100,000 guiys when that country also has 100,000 guys and ADVANCED weapons which you don't possess. Worse, Russia did not have AIR SUPERIORITY. Forget the whole thing boys.

I wonder what his generals are thinking of him today. Are they going to have a coup to preserve the equipment and men they still have left?
Putin will likely send 1 million Russians to Ukraine, some with working rifles, others with who knows what equipment. They'll starve, freeze, get blown up, shot or captured in due time. What will this do politically within Russia?

Russia needs trade with the West and the West needs energy; maybe some greedy generals will decide to become new oil and gas barons since Putin did well financially while they pranced around in those silly uniforms.

I'll keep saying it, this thing was lost in the first 2 weeks. The only hope for Putin was to quickly knock out the central government in Kyiv and if Ukraine was truly full of pro-Russian people that would step in and fill the void and not have to deal with a grinding insurgency. That fantasy is so long gone at this point.

It is entirely up to Putin and Russia to stop this needless death and destruction.
36   Misc   2022 Oct 2, 9:49am  

I dunno. Nobody in the Zelensky/NATO is infallible group saw the Russian annexation coming in advance.

Putin didn't stop the gas shipments to Europe right away. No, he 1st slowed the flows and finally cut them off. Gradually increasing the pressure on Europe. Now by annexing the 4 territories, he has doubled down again. For Ukraine to "win" it now has to seize Russian territory. Does anyone even remotely think this is possible?

Do the European leaders think this is possible or even worthwhile?

Even as late as June, the Europeans were forecasting that in 2023 the European economy would increase by 1.4%. Now they are forecasting a decline of only .4%

Thei European currency is in freefall, inflation (unlike in the US) is rising, their governments are printing vast amounts of money with no end in sight and major sectors of the economy could be shutting down.

Putin still has very favorable public opinion (despite what the Western Press says) unlike the European leaders.

Yes. Have you not been watching the news? The Russian army / navy / air force sucks.

I would say that the Russian armed forces is performing about as well as it did it n the 1905 Russo-Japanese war. This 2022 war started out similar to the Soviet 1939 invasion of Finland, and is evolving into something similar to the 1919-1921 Polish-Soviet war.

chunk of their country

David Stockman recently re: the cobbled together, ad hoc, nature of 'Ukraine'-
'Aside from the historically short interval of iron-fisted communist rule during the Soviet era, Ukraine had never been a nation-state within its post-1991 happenstance borders. In fact, for upwards of 275 years before 1918 much of its territories were borderlands, vassals and outright provinces of Czarist Russia; and before that constituents of the Polish-Lithuanian Empire and others.'

Only nominally a 'country' and now, of course, ruled by thoroughly corrupted oligarchs of our choosing. I wish the fuck we could mind our own business.
Even Obama knew this shit was a bad idea.

So only Muslims support a nuclear family? I can tell you that's not true of my British/German family, or of my wife's Mexican family, who would both agree with this speech. Anyone ok with LGBT and broken homes is no friend of the United States.

As to the rest of it, you guys don't understand proxy wars very well. The point is not to win, it's to get people to accept/agree to tons of bullshit they wouldn't otherwise tolerate, and to create excuses the world's standard of living going to shit, and point things away from central bankers. It's also to launder money. And lastly, always to cause suffering. And on all these points Russia, Ukraine, Europe, and the US are all winning!

Gentlemen, meet scamdemic 2.0. If the original didn't hook you, this one definitely has. But instead of wearing masks and injecting poison, you support massive money laundering by the US without a peep, all the while arm-chairing a war in a region you know nothing about.

This may be a leftoid operative account, or just naive npcism. The demonrats are ratcheting up the anti putin propaganda as they hope a big dreadful and deadly nuclear war may stave off their inevitable destruction at the midterms. Even a regional war in Europe "only" could provide them with needed distraction from their ineptitude.

I repeat, the dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves. This is a challenge for everyone. Such a complete denial of man, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, the suppression of freedom acquiring the features of a “reverse religion” [the opposite of what the religion is] – outright Satanism. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ, denouncing the false prophets, says: By their fruits you shall know them. And these poisonous fruits are already obvious to people – not only in our country, in all countries, including many people in the West itself.

The world has entered a period of revolutionary transformations, they are of a fundamental nature. New development centers are being formed, they represent the majority – the majority! – of the world community and are ready not only to declare their interests, but also to protect them, and see multipolarity as an opportunity to strengthen their sovereignty, which means to gain true freedom, a historical perspective, their right to independent, creative, original development, to a harmonious process.

All over the world, including in Europe and the United States, as I said, we have many like-minded people, and we feel, we see their support. A liberation, anti-colonial movement against unipolar hegemony is already developing within the most diverse countries and societies. His subjectivity will only grow. It is this force that will determine the future geopolitical reality. - Vladimir Putin, October 1, 2022

Not much to disagree with here and I don't like putin. But the West is doing the Saddam, qaddafi playbook again in an effort to keep full control in a serious war. These politicians are traitors and use not only their citizens but those close to the battlefield in Europe as well as pawns who readily and unfortunately mostly willingly await their destruction in war. They should revolt against their traitorous leaders and force a truce and immediate peace negotiations.

Pretty fucking rich for an old KGB commie like Putin quoting Christ and claiming he is standing up for religion or something.

Yes - a very big difference.

"Throughout the history of the Soviet Union (1917–1991), there were periods when Soviet authorities brutally suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on State interests.[1] Soviet Marxist-Leninist policy consistently advocated the control, suppression, and ultimately, the elimination of religious beliefs, and it actively encouraged the propagation of Marxist-Leninist atheism in the Soviet Union.[2] However, most religions were never officially outlawed.[1]

The state advocated the destruction of religion, and to achieve this goal, it officially denounced religious beliefs as superstitious and backward.[3][4] The Communist Party destroyed churches, synagogues,[5] and mosques, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with anti-religious teachings, and it introduced a belief system called "scientific atheism", with its own rituals, promises and proselytizers.[6][7] According to some sources, the total number of Christian victims under the Soviet regime has been estimated to range around 12 to 20 million.[8][9] At least 106,300 Russian clergymen were executed between 1937 and 1941.[10] Religious beliefs and practices persisted among the majority of the population,[11] not only in the domestic and private spheres but also in the scattered public spaces which were allowed to exist by a state that recognized its failure to eradicate religion and the political dangers of an unrelenting culture war.[12][13]"

What does this have to do with the current behavior of world leading politicians? Germany has a dark past, the DDR has, the US has, but we live here and now. We know how destructive communism is, but that doesn't mean you don't have to deal with the current situation and instead risk a big war over a very simple and straightforward conflict? Putin was a nobody in the leftoid landscape until obummer and xiden corrupted the Ukraine and the fake Trump dossier and the leftoids desperately needed a war to distract from their destruction of the US. Just 20 years ago the demonrats would have called for an immediate truce and negotiations to halt the "warmongers" they now are. There's no reason to divide people, you can be against this war and for a diplomatic solution with or without taking sides. I'm worried for friends and family in Europe first and foremost, this is not necessary imo
