At this point Putin has lost:

The credibility with Europe.
The confidence of his people.
The support of the military.
The regard of the oligarchs.
The respect from all nations around the world.

There is no path to victory.

Yet he is surrounded by people who tell him he is winning.


To my mind "victory" for Putin is Ukraine not in Nato. I accept that this is a hollow victory, but that to my mind is his view of victory (amongst other things).

Even ethnic Russians in the east are fighting the fascist invaders.

You're such a bunch of hypocrites lol, prolly PARD's worst at this point.

During Iraq 2.0 (operation Iraqi freedom, the irony) we were doing the exact same thing, fighting an illegal war and killing thousands upon thousands innocent civilians.

The invasion of Iraq was neither in self-defense against armed attack nor sanctioned by UN Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the crime of war of aggression, according to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in Geneva.


The rest of the world looked on in disbelief and authoritarian leaders of certain nations (IK, Iran) said to themselves right lets develop nukes against those bastards before we're next on the list. What a shit show.

I'm a hypocrite because I support defending democracy in Europe against a mini-Stalin in Russia?

Nope.

Now tell me about how this Jew led democracy is a nazi regime.

For the record I think you're a coward for wanting to give in to tyrants so easily.

I was against Iraq War but that was a little different. I didn't vote for Bush Cheney though. Not sure why you pegged me to have had.

Talk about a red herring.

Nothing i said was wrong. Notice how you didn't even disagree?

Oh yeah, Iran seen this and said NOW let's start developing nukes. Pretty sure Trump is the one who blew our relationship with them when he assassinated a general in a terror attack lol. Why weren't you such a pussycat then but are now? You have no consitency.

You guys are such fanboys to Putin, who is the most successful thief in history.

In fairness Djunior I dont see anything inherently wrong with what Skinned said.

While Putins "Vision of Victory" is Ukraine not in Nato and a "resolution" in the East of Ukraine, I would see both of these as phyrric victories. i.e. won the fight, lost the war. Therefore from a western perspective, and certainly from a US perspective, Russia has clearly Lost.

His goal was obviously regime change in Kiev, his forces are leaving central Ukraine, and even intended puppet collaborating politician is I custody.

The coup failed.

Putin will just have to keep robbing Russians and brown people in Syria and other client states.

Mariupol might even hold out against the blitz.

Nope, both lost. Not in our interest to bind Russia to China even more. That's what is going to happen. We lack resources on mainland Europe. Sanctioning Russia for a long time is like shooting ourself into the foot. China already sized large amounts of rare earths in Africa and South America. Higher material cost in production-> higher consumer prices -> uncompetitive. Russia was giving us everything directly, without the involvement of 3rd party fees. The real idiots are people in the US administration who let the war break out. None of us profits from this war, really none.

Apparently unlike you, I can take my suspensions like a man. If I had reported you (which is pretty much something I never do), I'd most certainly tell you to your face.


Haha and you call me a liar
