Because people value and respect opposite opinions here. If you have nothing of substance to add to this discussion, please campaign for Harris on other threads. |
So you live in the US, but are defending Russia on US message boards? Sounds like you are someone who should be deported by Trump and company. Are you ok with 14 year olds joining the Russian military too? |
It is weird. But the far right in the US likes Putin. He represents their values - authoritarian, an orthodox state, anti-gay, pro-spousal abuse, corrupt. Modern Russia is a caricature of toxic masculinity and fragile egos - and the JD Vances of America admire it. Plus, for many Republicans, Zelensky is a dirty Jew who didn't cooperate with Trump when he was looking for dirt on Hunter Biden. And therefore, Ukraine should be obliterated. Not exactly the party of Reagan anymore. |
I'm pretty sure there are actual Russians on DCUM. |
There are entire multi-story office complexes in the suburbs of St. Petersburg filled with shift workers paid to post propaganda on American message boards and social media sites. |
There is no evidence of the Pantsir being destroyed. Even if they did destroy one, its a short-range AD system that supplements other systems. If they took out the AD defending Kerch, why wasn't a follow up attack launched? I miss the early days of this thread when the Ukraine shills were of a higher quality. |
I don't know any Russia appreciators that actually like Vance btw. Also that the American Empire is a mistake and goes against everything the Founding Fathers created. Further the "Rules Based Order" and its enforcement arm of NATO is basically satanic. |
Nah, we don't respect the opinions of people who support an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation in direct violation of a binding treaty, just like decent people in the 1940s didn't. We don't respect their opinions, and we don't respect them as people. If you support Russia in this war you're trash and everyone but you knows it. |

Its important for three reasons: 1. There have been all sorts of back-channel discussion of "red lines" between NATO and Russia. NATO hardware on Russian soil was thought to be one of these. Either the Ukrainians have gone rogue or the Brits signed off on this escalation. This means there may be escalations in other theaters. 2. The myth of NATO gear quality. A lot of NATO gear just hasn't lived up to the hype, the Challenger being perhaps the worst. This is really going to hurt export opportunities for future NATO gear. 3. The sheer concentration of NATO gear on this one front indicates that Ukraine is going all-in on Kursk. Rather than a long drawn out conflict, this theater may determine the outcome much sooner. |
Pfft. Oh dear. Once the Kersch Bridge falls, Russia will totally lose control over the Crimea. The fleeing civilians and rerouted military traffic trying to reach the Russian front line resupply points will choke Russian troop supplies. All Ukraine has to do is take down that bridge by October, before winter sets in. But you already know that, right? You also know that every Russian initiative seems to be collapsing right now. Military failures: "Ukraine posted a video of dozens of prisoners, saying they surrendered after their commanders fled." "its forces in Kursk captured 102 Russian soldiers in one sitting on Wednesday, marking the largest group it's taken prisoner since the war began." https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-100-russian-soldiers-surrendered-kursk-commanders-fled-2024-8 Economic failures: "In annual terms, inflation hit 9.1%, despite the fact that this time of year usually brings deflation on the back of cheap, newly-harvested fruit and vegetables." https://en.thebell.io/the-economic-impact-of-ukraines-incursion-into-russia/#:~:text=In%20annual%20terms%2C%20inflation%20hit,effect%20on%20real%20estate%20prices. Diplomatic failures: "Nearly all Chinese banks are refusing payments from Russia" https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-all-china-banks-refuse-yuan-ruble-transfers-sanctions-2024-8 "Chinese banks raised the yuan-ruble exchange rate to capitalize on their neighbor's weakened currency." https://www.newsweek.com/china-corners-russia-exchange-rate-hikes-1939641 Even the Russian propagandists are arguing with and yelling at each other openly on Russian National television, with the panic setting in on the homefront. "If these types of missteps continue, we may lose." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHhWFrYKf_8 I'm not going to quote this next clip, but it's something you need to watch for yourselves, end-to-end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Af4KzIzho And for the Russian sleeper agents in the US, I'm sure you'll all be blamed for failing to influence the US elections in November? It must be difficult to raise a shaking glass of vodka at night (or maybe lunch, or even breakfast, given how things are going?), realizing that soon their higher-ups will soon sell them out to save their own skins? 10 months. |
The over night posts on this site seems to shift rightward. I assume it has something to do with time zones. |
What do you consider "over-night" posts? This thread seems to get its last posts of the day around 11 PM and then picks up again around 8AM. That seems pretty normal for EST. Maybe that's weird in Tel Aviv... |
| I wonder if the pro Russians here are the same ones who are pro Hamas on the other thread. Sure they say they are pro Palestine but they sure hate all Jews and are unhinged psychopaths. |
And I wonder if the same people cheering on the deaths of Russians here are the same people cheering on the deaths of Palestinians on other threads... |
You understand this pipeline goes through Ukraine, right? And that if blowing it up was the goal, they could have just as easily done it on their end? |
