Tactical retreats from around Kharkiv doesn’t mean Ukraine is winning it just means the Russians don’t care enough to hold that area. One side is literally firing hundreds of artillery rounds, hitting dozens of targets on a daily basis all over Ukraine while the other is mostly in a defensive position, increasingly unable to reinforce the front. That’s the reality on the ground and you sound very clueless on what’s actually happening in this war.

I don't think Ukraine is isolated, like i said initially when you see the sacrifices we do for it ... Sanctions, military assistance... It's really big.
Declaration of war is the last thing to do, even Russia still have not "declared" war... While they are bombing civilians etc ...
Like the 7 missiles on Odessa killing at least 40 people in a supermarket or some store. Today.

Btw Finland to declare final nato wishes in 2 days.



You should have seen this footage, it's on Reddit, Russians small groups, even individuals, getting grenade'd by a small drone. Ukraine asking for more drones.
I am not sure Russia will be able to adapt.

Hey I couldn't find some news although I heard it from the Taiwanese news channel that I am watching now.
Are there anti American Protest in Europe now ?

clarification: when i said taken in isolation, i was referring to your post that i responded to, and not to other posts you had made which included elements that i did not agree with.
finland joining or not join nato is, largely (hopefully!) not world changing. russia will be unhappy but have already stated/implied they wont attack.



no, and if there ere they would be fringe minority that the populace broadly, ignores. for sure some ppl protest over everything from time to time but its not relevant or world altering.

"Individuals are getting grenaded". It's time to get a second military education. Modern wars are senseless. More like throwing a roll of money set on fire to each other.

I am going to comment on their channel not to give fake news

It was named "grenade" in the post, it was looking like a mini-bomb. I don't think i can post it here, hopefully the video was not that shocking, the "grenade" explosed at like 3 meters away of the guy who was wearing some kind of rocket launcher. He fall, not sure if alive of if internal organs like lungs got destroyed by the detonation.
Watching war footages is deshumanizing people.

Donbass militia using self-made launchers based on DJI-drones

xD

some quotes from that video:

"Liberalism and Democracy are opposing positions."
and
German Finance Mininster: "elections can not be allowed to change economic policy" loved the response from the Greek: "this is excellent news to the chinese communist party because they believe that too".

Key take-aways:

1. not a fan of obama, and outlined to my mind the clear reason why trump was elected (i.e. not putin but rather the inability of the administration to take care of all of its people, not just the top earners).
2. his overall position was that capitalism is destroying itself. he outlined clearly why this was his position, he predicts the next collapse and i cant find fault with his argument.

staying on topic, or rather, returning to the topic at hand, here is another quote from the video: "what happens in a democracy when two principals clash...well we sit around the table like civilized people and we find a compromise. this is what democracies do".
