Russia begins invasion of Ukraine

[hometeam]

Putin came into power and the ogliarchs that did not recognize the Russian state took their billions and left for new York, tell Aviv and London to lobby our government to take a hostile stance towards Russia.

The ones that stayed are the people getting their boats, bank accounts and other shit siezed in European ports by the US government.

Yeah Putin got rid of the old, disloyal oligarchs and installed his own, and we all know what happened next. It wasn't the US, Citigroup Bank or Exxon Mobile that robbed the country, it was internal corruption and autocracy.

However I will say that as part of sanctions the West froze about $300 billion of Russian reserves, $30 billion in oligarch assets. And that was robbery, but they're not keeping that money it's going to Ukraine. And after what Russia has done they will need to be paying reparations.

How insolent and arrogant of cocksucker would one have to be to presume that all of the diverse and different people of the world should be ruled or guided by one form of government?

Well it takes an arrogant cocksucker like Putin to say "I and I alone will be your government." But you just love the motherland and its values too much to hold him to the same standard, and despise capitalism and gays and "urban intellectual skinny jeans wearing hipsters and blue pill liberals" too much.

Putin kind of screwed up the messaging on this. One of his stated goals was de-nazification of Ukraine and he was very ambiguous about this. He was expecting it to be over in a few days, and wasn't expecting to have to give an explanation for this. So it's taken on many interpretations, anything from Ukraine regime change to destroying just the Azov regiment - which got a bit carried away using Nazi symbols and slogans when fighting off Russian funded/trained militias in the Donbas.

So when Russian soldiers started invading and occupying parts of Ukraine one of the things that happened was they started asking "where are the Nazis?" and that leads to "why are we here?" They invaded with a force of 150k to 200k soldiers and according to the independent Russian media project iStories more than 90,000 Russian soldiers had been killed, seriously wounded or gone missing in Ukraine, citing sources close to the Kremlin. UK intelligence puts it as 80k. The US DOD says 100k. Russia won't give their total casualty numbers but they aren't denying these numbers either.

So if you were a part of that original invasion force and you believe these numbers there's a 50/50 chance you are missing, wounded or dead. And this was a "special military operation" against Nazis? No wonder they don't want to fight. And the morale of the conscripted ones are worse. The 20k they recruited from Russian prisons are really bad. And rumor has it Putin is about to announce a full mobilization, but he can't feed and supply the ones he already has in parts of Ukraine.

So the message now is it's Russia vs NATO. But they are also up against some pretty pissed off and determined Ukrainian fighters. Ukraine mobilized 700k in May, and recently announced 200k more.

You're such a delusional lying piece of shit.

Putin wasn't in power during the looting. Yeltsin was. Putin came after and put the brakes on the gravy train with overwhelming support of the Russian people

Jeffery Sachs, was one of the most economists who there in Russia during the collapse.

Not an ignorant fuck like you that just makes shit up based off propoganda he hears.

If you can read @Big_paul , you might to reconsider listening to this idiot.

The west had far more to do with raping Russia than "Putin's ogliarchs" that ignorant cocksucker @hometeam suggesting

The international monetary fund and US diplomats led the way to the most massive looting operation in history and the degredation of an entire nations people into poverty. They did it intentionally because they did not want an independent nation to emerge from the collapse of the USSR.

Putin isn't trying to rule the world.

And lots of countries don't celebrate homosexuality and degenerate group think. For that matter, most Americans don't either.

It isn't Putin trying to make the world like Russia. Its the corporate globalist interests of the west trying to create a one word corporate globalist government

Just another case of you spewing bullshit you literally know nothing about

There are no reliable numbers in this.

We've been over this multiple times. You don't know anything about it.

So if you were a part of that original invasion force and you believe these numbers there's a 50/50 chance you are missing, wounded or dead. And this was a "special military operation" against Nazis? No wonder they don't want to fight. And the morale of the conscripted ones are worse. The 20k they recruited from Russian prisons are really bad. And rumor has it Putin is about to announce a full mobilization, but he can't feed and supply the ones he already has in parts of Ukraine.

Again, you're projecting bullshit you have no idea about.

Both sides are lying about the casualties.

The only certainty is that Russia has been outnumbered from day one and the heaviest casualties have been suffered by Ukraine

So the message now is it's Russia vs NATO. But they are also up against some pretty pissed off and determined Ukrainian fighters. Ukraine mobilized 700k in May, and recently announced 200k more.

We all know this is NATO vs Russia.

Putin isn't trying to rule the world.

He's certainly trying to rule Ukraine. And after absorbing Ukraine, then what? Suddenly you have a Westernized NATO allied Poland on their doorstep, and that's an existential threat to Russia.

Here's quotes straight from your link:
"What were they thinking? When executives at the Bank of New York saw billions of dollars floating in from the home computer of a Russian businessman with ties to organized crime there, did they
really believe that these were just ordinary profits?
The biggest money-laundering scandal in history has prompted calls for a fresh look at the role of American and IMF funds in Russia."
"It has been one debacle after another since the IMF introduced its “shock therapy” program in 1992. Like a battered spouse who sees no alternative but to return to her abuser, Russia comes back to the IMF for more credits. But the hundreds of billions that have fled the country in the 1990’s have cancelled out this “aid,” as well as the meager foreign direct investment, many times over. At the same time Russia has accumulated more than $150 billion in foreign debt, with the burden of debt service now reaching a crushing 29% of export earnings."
"Yet the Soviet Union, a country with large gold reserves, rich natural and human resources and a bloated military economy, is far from an obvious candidate for western charity. For geo-political reasons, the west may eventually be right to decide to help. But only if it is first absolutely clear that the Soviet Union intends to help itself. "

So, the Russian mob had a money laundering scheme... The IMF and US provided aid that didn't work... Russia took on some debt it could not repay... what's your complaint? That gave us Putin? No, Yeltsin gave us Putin and he later regretted it.

Putin and his oligarchs seized control of all of Russia's natural resources. The reason Russia is a poor country has nothing to do with Pepsi and McDonalds or Jeffrey Sachs.

We all know this is NATO vs Russia.

At first it wasn't. At first it was a "special military operation" against Nazis. Putin invaded with 150k to 200k soldiers and Ukraine had 250k who was only given javelin and stinger missiles. Upon invading there was no Nazis to be found, just a bunch Ukrainians fighting for the existence of their country and they were repelled from Kiev. Now Russia has gone and provoked a war with NATO, who has almost a million very pissed off Ukrainians fighting for them. So it's starting to look like Russia is going to need to go all in on this and go full mobilization and hope it doesn't break the country.

I wonder what would happen if China siezed some American billionaires like Bill Gates fortune without accusing him of any crimes? Just because he had ties to the US government

The US made the mistake in Iraq of thinking we would be welcomed and there would be no resistance. And we paid at least $330 billion in reconstruction costs. As Colin Powell famously said, "you break it, you bought it." Russia made that mistake this time. As General Milley said the other day, the chances of Russia fully annexing all of Ukraine is about 0% right now, so they're not going to willingly pay for reconstruction in areas they don't control. But by the West seizing those assets, Russia bought what they broke.

He tried to conquer and rule Ukraine, and failed. Still is trying, still failing. What's contradictive or hard to understand about that?

Time moves in a linear fashion. Russia is weaker than they (and NATO) thought they were in February. The Russian threat to NATO was always about them annexing these former Soviet states and trying to become great again, challenge Europe again. Russia would always be a weaker country with less than half the population and economy they used to have until they've done that. And nobody expected it to be this hard for them to conquer Ukraine. Now we know.

Whether or not Putin's intentions truly are to absorb these former states doesn't really matter because you can't read his mind and after Putin's '07 Munich speech and attacking Georgia in '08 (and especially today) the West can reasonably see it as a possibility, something to contain.

Then Putin installed his own oligarchs loyal to him and robbed the country blind. They're still stuck in their old ways, people like you are resistant to capitalism and "degenerative" values, Putin rules with an iron fist, they are isolated and the economy is in the abyss because of it.

Exactly.

And without the support of the US government, he could not have.

The suffering of the Russian people led to Vladimir Putin. Because he did bring an end to the fleecing and looting and the establishment of the Russian state.

The Russian people are not what that idiot @hometeam says about a militaristic people with a desire to rule the world.

They're just people like anyone else who want to live their lives the way they choose.

Most Americans are against the path our own government has taken. As are most Russian people.

The people of America, Russia and Ukraine are not enemies of each other. It's the corrupt governments and globalist billionaire corporate donors to those governments that want war.

And it's all to rob all the people of their respective livelihoods and reduce us all to serfdom.

The Russian people know this as well as anybody.

I say that if you cannot openly stand against them, then I understand. But for the love of humankind and God, if you believe in an everlasting soul, then don't stand with them.

People do not need to die and kill each other for the benifit of the elites actively trying to own the world

agree about the people. I have friends from Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan. Great guys and wish you all the best and peace. In general, I am for peace and against people dying.

 

[MR_Midas]

@MR_Midas Actually Putin was hand picked by Yeltsin to be his successor, a decision he regretted later in life. When Clinton first met Putin he got bad vibes from Putin, this guy was a Russian mobster who wasn't going to ever leave office.

When a Russian commie sees capitalism coming to a country they'll say "look at the bankers and corporations raping our people, robbing our country." But in this case they rejected new ways and it was Putin and the oligarchs who robbed the country. And Clinton wasn't keen on helping another despotic dictator led Russia. Later that day after meeting Putin he met Yeltsin, looked hard into his eyes, said "I'm concerned about this young man you have turned over the Presidency to. He doesn't have democracy in his heart." And he poked Yeltsin in the chest by the heart. Then Clinton went home.

Putin believes in "russky mir" which means when Russia invades your country they they say "now you are part of the Russian federation. You are now subject to: one language (Russian), one religion (Orthodoxy), one leader (Putin)."

Like I've told you several times now, Russian imperialism is much different than US imperialism. When Russian troops descended on Kiev, Putin was probably planning on replacing Zelensky with his puppet Yanukovych - who would be loyal to Putin. He already had talks with the Trump administration about trilateral talks to make the Donbas independent and run by Yanukovych. But ultimately Ukraine would now speak Russian and be ruled by Putin, with daily tasks delegated to Yanukovych.
