Only thing this video showed is how inept and completely over his head Biden is. If that was your intent, job well done.

Optically this ceasefire for Christmas that the Ukrainians rejected is IMO a win for Putin although it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. 36 hours ceasefire changes literally nothing on the battlefield but it does give Putin and Russia brownie points with the Orthodox people at home, maybe some in Ukraine and abroad. It's a feign "look we are extending an olive branch but they are rejecting it" shrewd but disingenuous and nothing more than optics.


All it would take to defuse any 'optics' and mitigate any dissent it would build up with the orthodox christian ukrainians, is to simply accept the christmas truce. Russia doesn't have any control over whether NATO would accept an olive branch and jiggle their puppets accordingly. Instead they're using christmas to crack down on and suppress orthodox churches in the country. Nobody is forcing the germans, americans, british, etc to all put out statements denouncing a call for peace and demand more bloodshed. Pakistan is dripping with scorn as it nominates erdogan for the nobel peace prize for his attempts to mediate this conflict, while joe biden put out a statement accusing russian of dropping bombs 'on december 25th'

I have no real opinion on this, simply find it fascinating.

Only the evil and his deamons would propose or support a religious truce after bombing babies and raping their mothers.

So...yes? Lmao

What, did you ride around Iraq in a tank blowing up locals so you think you're some tactical genius now? :P


Compared to the present company? Better than most.

First mobilization round took place when, September / October 2022?

You should be able to work it out.


Yes, yes, I know you have faith in Pootey Poot to make proper soldiers out of people he can't equip. I do not.

Putin and his demons are doing atrocities and stealing their own people since more than 20 years.
The only "peace" you are talking about is the one you have once everything is destroyed.

These light armored vehicles, whose production began in the 1980s, weigh nearly 20 tons and are just over 9 meters long. They are equipped with 105 mm guns and two machine guns. The AMX-10 RC is mounted on wheels and not on tracks.
Its crew is composed of four people. It is produced by the French company Nexter, which also manufactures the Caesar cannon ( :love: )
ps: it's not a "tank", at least not an heavy one.

Germany to send around 40 Marder APC's
And 1 Patriot missile battery
US to supply around 50 Bradley's

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/germany-ap-olaf-scholz-joe-biden-nato-b2257315.html

One aspect is that previous vehicles sent were Soviet era vehicles from eastern Europe; Western arms manufactures do not make ammunition for those vehicles.

NATO has stopped short of sending the main battle tanks such Abrams or Leopards.

there isn't a despot whose boots you don't lick, huh? this is not about "peace", lol. putin could easily have actual peace. lasting peace. all he has to do is leave ukraine. any military action will stop immediately. everyone in the west would be in favour of that. no one wants a piece of russia. it's all in his hands.

putin doesn't want peace though. he wants a temporary ceasefire for religious / political reasons and then continue the raping, murdering of children, bombing of civilians, annexation of foreign territory.

only a dishonest little hack would try to frame that as wanting "peace", lol.
