    Do you think that Putin organized the Ukrainian Maidan? :-/ It was because of the Maidan that your "false state" was created. And by the way, Putin has been urging Ukraine for 7 years to comply with the Minsk agreements so that Donbass remains part of Ukraine.

    I didn't leave. I had information intoxication. :)

    By the way, I'm not Putin's adviser - don't blame me for Putin doing something contrary to my words ;-)

    You really don't know, or are you kidding?

    I'm hearing this around.
    That's not exactly reality. I myself I've realized that you can learn how to manage complicated devices in some days, not years.
    It takes two years to train as an Apache pilot if you are not an attack helicopter pilot and if you are not fighting a war.

    On the other hand you're right: combat aircraft are not like cars, but it's not said that a pilot of combat aircraft is able to drive a car [one never knows].

    He divided NATO more than what Putler had been able to do. He spit into the NATO members faces with his speech in front of the 911 memorial at the NATO headquarters. He weekend NATO, enabled Putler.

    Ukraine already has the type of aircraft that it would receive. They already have experienced pilots.

    In the meanwhile [I adore to use this opening] the Russian economy is sinking.
    Oligarchs are not going to resist for a long time: they are going to become ragamuffins.

    This can be the key to solve this crisis: Russians tend to make a revolution when they reach the limit, when they wonder if they are going to survive or not.

    Russians risk not to survive to the incoming next wave of sanctions.

    @ManYacK and @vis
    Can you give us insights on what’s going on in Russia? Do most people understand what’s going on?

    You don't understand their psyche. When there is nowhere to go - they will go nuclear - literally. Hoping for another Russian revolution is only a wet dream.

    In Russia, in principle, nothing special is happening. If you turn off the Internet, then there is no war outside the window. I mean that the war is virtual - for the average man in the street. I didn't notice any side effects. Yes, the dollar has risen in price - but in Russia they do not use it. I do not plan any serious purchases of Western goods, so as-it doesn't matter.

    On the streets and in person, people prefer not to discuss the war, realizing that the topic is not simple. On the forums, 70-75% of users support the military operation, understanding its reasons. Only principled liberals (read "traitors") think, or at least say, that the war is Putin's imperial ambitions.
    People also support sanctions and are happy when France takes away houses and yachts on the Cote d'Azur. :)

    you can't even imagine how Russian people are happy and welcome this decision ;-)
    Class hatred and all that :-D And Putin has long warned, they say, return your capital to Russia. Think about the people. So - joy.
    Russia is a self-sufficient country. We will not die of hunger. And for people who survived the 90s, no sanctions are terrible. Yes, and the package is already empty - there are no more sanctions there.

    That's why they'd be coming from Poland, or failing that, another country with the same aircraft - they have the same ones the Ukrainian air force are already familiar with.

    ❗️❗️In Kyiv, local Nazis caught and brutally tortured a famous Ukrainian athlete, MMA fighter, Maxim Ryndovsky.
    All his fault is that he trained with the Chechen club "Akhmat".

    We ask for the maximum repost, especially among foreign audiences! This could save his life, we need an immediate response!

    His point was that you clearly have no idea what is going on.

    I guess it confirms it - Russians willingly went fascist.
    There is an american saying - the beating will continue till morale improves. Ukrainians will have to keep butchering till enough of you rise up and put a bullet in Pootins brain. The count is at 11,000. Maybe after the number hits 100,000 your mothers will get a louder voice. :lol:

    where did you get this nonsense about 11k? Did you come up with it yourself, or did someone lie? Officially announced two days ago about 500 dead in a week of operation.

    For comparison, for 8 years of shelling of Donbass, Ukrainians killed 14k residents of the region.

    I do not claim that I can read Putin's mind - I will leave that to Western experts and analysts. I can only talk about what is happening in my info-sphere.

    You've been seriously brainwashed. Fully in agreement with MacGregor. A bloody puppet who is prepared to sacrifice his own people just to save his ass. Despicable.

    Macgregor: Zelensky Is No Hero, He's A Puppet That Is Putting His Own Population At Unnecessary Risk

    Ret Col. Douglas Macgregor said a neutral Ukraine would be good for us and good for Ukraine as it would create a buffer both sides want in an interview on Fox Business with host Stuart Varney. Macgregor called Zelensky a "puppet" and said he is "dragging this out" and using civilians as a shield by sending armed forces into populated areas.
