As long as the illegal Russian money was creating jobs and used to buy their expensive real eatate it was all good .

Now it’s not good because Russia invaded Ukraine . Talk about Uber hypocrisy …..
 
Scared of balanced coverage, embarrassed of their lies and propaganda getting exposed, so-called bearers of freedom are blocking RT.
YouTube just started blocking RT globally.
Here's a couple of options left to watch RT:



How to access RT.com


If you can’t get news from RT due to government restrictions, here are some alternative ways to access our content

Serious attempts have been made in Western nations to silence RT, following Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine. The EU Commission has given regulators in the bloc’s nations powers to ban the media outlet. If you’ve faced difficulties accessing RT’s content due to those restrictions, here are some steps you can take to bypass them.

1. If you’re reading RT on your smartphone, you can use our Android app, which can be downloaded via this link.

2. On your PC, you can use the Tor browser, which can be downloaded here. RT’s website address in Tor remains the same: www.rt.com. If Tor doesn’t work for you, or is unavailable via regular means, you can resolve this issue by sending an empty email to gettor@torproject.com and you will be sent the necessary link.

3. Another way of circumventing restrictions is to use the Psiphon censorship-bypass tool, which can be downloaded for Windows, Android, and other systems. Alternatively, you can use a VPN service of your choice. (Windows download here, direct Android download here, and other options here).

4. You can also stay in touch with RT through Telegram by subscribing to RT’s soon-to-be-reborn channel there.

Dear Hassan,

Many Ukrainians are brave and willing to fight invading forces no matter the odds. Mykolaiv governor Vitaly Kim's statement might be aimed to galvanize and motivate local fighters for the needful.

Russians might wipe them out of-course but Kim's followers will go down fighting. This is the story of local unsung heroes.

@RescueRanger
Brother thank you so much for tagging me in this.

This is a travesty - yet an image we have become so accustom to in the last 22 year years that people don’t seem to fathom the incredible humanitarian, economy and long term mental cost of such images.

The Ukrainians are absolute heroes, every single on of them from infant to the elderly woman with osteoarthritis who throws rocks at passing Russian tanks.

And as you have correctly summarised that some observers and experts believe that the Russians will eventually break the defences - but not before these brave men and women dispatch a good number Russian forces into hell.

I have a tremendous respect for the fortitude and tenacity of the Ukrainians and pray every night for their success and survival.
 
Well , I think this is alarming for us , our army have same or even worst mentality than Russian generals and our armed forced is more antique ...

this is like 1970s armor division against 2020s anti armor equipment ...

Well , Russia need to order bath of uav and ucav from china , immediately ...

side note : Russians are conspiring against us with Israelis , If It was me , I would teach them a lesson by blowing their assets in Latakia ...

Russia missed a chance to bleed America in Afghanistan for 20 years. Yes, there was supposed to be some support given to the Taliban but, being a regional power, a LOT more could have been done by Russia to hurt America in Afghanistan. Also, if Russia decides to make the war too forbidding for the West even right now, it could arm various anti-Israel forces with lethality never seen before. It will be a regional war but it will end one way or another soon because Israel's American backers wouldn't put up with blood spilling in Israel.

Having said this... observing something is not the same as wishing something. I'd rather this war be over asap.
 
I don't think you understand what encircle means. The Russians only have one main axis on Kiev right now, the northwest. The North to Chernihiv axis is nonexistent. Russian forces to the east of Kiev are small currently.
The South of Kiev is wide open. Kiev is a massive city. It will take 200K combat troops to take and control Kiev, forces that Russia doesn't have.

3 sides, Northwest, East and Northeast. Check the compass again on the right map. Secondly, who told you they were coming in to take over the city? I think they've learned their lesson on urban warfare. At this time, the Russia military is now acting like old school USSR military, in other words, encircle, demolish and force surrender, or, level it. There is no limits to how barbaric this would gets when the generals behind this land at this last strategy. At this point, Russia is now fighting for it's own federation's survival so no care for anything else.

The US needed to impose a no fly zone with EU. That was the only hope left.
 
Again? Ahaha... That much wank is not good. Also, these people, who are more tsarist than tsar's himself, always make me laugh.

Technically, Turkey is at least as neutral as Iran is. We refuse to participate in any form of sanctions. (We also opposed the embargoes against Iran as best we could, and in some cases, we created bilateral private commercial channels) We closed the Black Sea to NATO ships, Although we are NATO member. We refuse to close our airspace to Russia. Russia has tens of billions of dollars worth of fixed investments in Turkey. All of them continue to be supported by the state. We continue to buy and market Russian gas.

In fact, Turkey has so far been the only country that has brought two countries together in a meeting. Turkey's efforts are appreciated by both sides. Although some losers in a corner are sad about it...

If Russia defends the legitimacy of the invasion of Ukraine, on what grounds can it defend the unlawfulness of the Turkish buffer zone? Moreover, we do not claim sovereignty over these lands, while Russia is annexing the regions one by one. Even in Syria, all underground resources were confiscated for 50 years thanks to the puppet regime. Some parts of Tartus is unofficial Russian land.

Russia has been giving weapons to the PKK for 40 years. Pkk/kck have offices in Moscow. And currently, tel rifat and manbij are under the auspices of Russia. PKK shot down the Turkish helicopter with Russian-sold MANPADS. Which of these did we retaliate for, we did not close the dialogue channel even when 32 of our soldiers were killed by a cowardly attack by a Russian bomber.

There are no Turkish soldiers in Ukraine. There are no Turkish weapons in Ukraine, also. Ukraine is a solution partner to Turkey in some critical areas and in return, TR provides some UAV technologies to them. Thats all. If Russia want some asistance, Turkish companies could also bring some offers to them.

post-cold war there was an unwritten agreement that Russia and the NATO would not directly arm an adversary during a hot war.

NATO did not openly supply the chechens
NATO did not openly supply georgia

Russia never openly supplied the taliban or any afghan insurgent group.
Russia never openly or ever supply anybody in iraq,
Russia never openly supplied serbia
Russia never openly supplied weapons to any nato military adventure.

This line was crossed in this war.

There are weaponry that are killing Russians that have unquestionable places of origin. Such as the NLAW and the bayraktar (even though we only see a video every 1-2 days. Suggesting they are being shot down en masse, with the exception of a few here and there)

This is a line that has been crossed. and you would be an utter fool to think that Russia will not be returning the favor at the earliest opportunity. ABSOLUTE FOOL. lines have been crossed, and certain gloves have come off. And its all thanks to Aggresive NATO, we all will live in a much more dangerous world. Perhaps a Russian-Iranian plan to slaughter the turks out of northern Syria while simultaneously threatning to dismember the turkish state by using the kurds would cause alot of underwear stains in turkey...

Imagine the kurds of occupied western kurdistan getting unlimited Iranian-russian support... goood luck

This is an interesting twist in geopolitics.

Saudi Arabia and UAE don't want to take Biden's call but they will talk to Putin. Israeli PM wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin. Seems like everyone in the middle east is switching stripes and are cozying up to Russia. While the Arabs can afford to be independent of the US, I'm surprised that the Israelis would go against the interest of their patrons in the west. :whistle:

They are not switicing sides but they just want some concessions and to emerge from this with better ties as ties between GULF-Israel and the US has deteroriated compared to Trump-Obama-Bush eras. Hence they want to emerge from this with better ties but they need some minor concessions in some areas they deem beneficial to themselves
