Ukraine’s biggest backers in the eu got turned off by the charms of Z

"A drowning person is extremely dangerous because he can pull you to the depths. He can drown the rescuer. Ukraine is behaving like a drowning person clinging to everything he can, but we have the right to defend ourselves against harm being done to us."

A quote from the Polish President.

I'm sure he's a Russian bot/troll/MAGA too...

You think that's a bad quote? Ukraine IS desperate, and Poland DOES need to be careful. You, on the other hand, remain profoundly simple-minded and ignorant.

Poland is in the right. Poland doesn’t need to tank its economy because of Ukraine. The Polish are members of both NATO and the EU. Ukraine is the one that DOES need to be careful to not alienate key friends.

I don't know what he did, or what is triggering this, but you can sense a seismic shift against Ukraine.

Here's Germany's Baerbock: "we don’t support this, and I have made it clear to my Ukrainian partners time and again.”

The diplomat noted that while Berlin sympathizes with the Ukrainian people, “it is not that we support everything that comes out of Ukraine from the government.”

Its the "time and again" part that should cause concern. It really does seem like they are getting tired of Ukraine.

LOL let's pretend the US wasn't salivating at the prospect of regime change in Syria or funding opponents of Bashar Assad who claimed to be Free Syria Army and then oops they were Al-Nusra front. Let's not pretend the US wouldn't like to dismember Syria to get control over the best bits.

Russia mass bombing Syrian civilians wasn’t funny it was horrific. My friend was working for Doctors with Borders in Syria at the time and they were shocked that Russia even targeted their modest make shift hospitals.

The US was not bombing innocents in Syria and many Western countries would have been happy for a change in the brutal leadership.

The US is far from perfect because no person or country is. It has made mistakes. But its failings do not compare to the atrocities and war crimes carried out by Putin and his cronies.

omg

The article is talking about civilians dying as collateral damage, particularly in the case of ISIS who is known to use civilians as hostages and human shields, all of which is horrific but let's talk about scale - Syrian civilian deaths at the hands of US forces is in the dozens, Syrian civilian deaths at the hands of Assad and Russia is in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.

So try again. Russia still comes out far far worse.

Was the invasion about the alliance's expansion to Moscow's doorstep? Depends on who's telling the story.

From the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we’ve been told that the issue of NATO expansion is irrelevant to the war, and that anyone bringing it up is, at best, unwittingly parroting Kremlin propaganda, at worst, apologizing for or justifying the war.

So it was curious to see NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg earlier this month say explicitly that Russian president Vladimir Putin launched his criminal war as a reaction to the possibility of NATO expanding into Ukraine, and the alliance’s refusal to swear it off — not once or twice, but three separate times.

“President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement,” Stoltenberg told a joint committee meeting of the European Parliament on September 7. “That was what he sent us. And [that] was a pre-condition for not invade [sic] Ukraine. Of course we didn't sign that.”

There was never any threat to attack or invade Russia. That's Putin fiction. He's just mad that he isn't being allowed to invade his neighbors.

That’s horrific yet still not as bad as directly targeting hospitals and apartment buildings just to terrorize the population. How can you not see that?

Note to Ukraine don’t try to enter a trade war with the countries you rely on for military support. Not a good look.

Anonymous wrote:Poland will likely not extend the support for the roughly 1 million Ukrainian refugees it is hosting to the same extent for the following year, Polish government spokesperson Piotr Müller told Polsat News on Sept. 18.

Poland has hosted the largest number of Ukrainian refugees of all countries. The U.N. records around 6 million refugees residing abroad as a result of Russian aggression.

In a show of solidarity with besieged Ukraine, Warsaw decided to assist Ukrainian refugees by waiving residency requirements and providing free access to education, healthcare, and family benefits.

Now, the Polish government signals this aid may not be prolonged for 2024, at the very least not at the same scale.

"These regulations will simply expire next year," Müller said on television.

"I think the regulations will not be extended to a large extent," he noted, adding that the international community should become more involved in the support.

America needs to step up and accept ALL of these Ukrainian war refugees.

Only if they will resettle in Mississippi and Alabama

😂

Ukrainian refugees in London and Germany complained when they were resettled near black or brown people

I heard years ago that ukranian people in general have an ungrateful streak but never realized it was so blatant

Your slander of Ukrainians is uncalled for. Ukrainians are people who long to be Free but are victims of a despotic power hungry nuclear lunatic invading their country. They are fighting for the freedom of the entire World against tyranny. And you sit here in comfort taking cheap shots at them based on Russian propaganda. Shame!

This is the talking point they've been trying to sell but no. They are fighting only for their own freedom. The entire world isn't affected by it.

Do you not see Putin’s tyranny threatening freedom across the globe? Would you wait until it is too late?

My friend, Ukraine does not stand alone - the whole Free world stands with them. Not only out of sympathy but also because they know that Ukraine is fighting for freedom.

NP. This sounds like some Cold War propaganda lingo

NATO isn't "expanding". Russia is "contracting".

"Russia’s Ministry of Labour has requested 230,000 certificates for family members of deceased combat veterans and over 750,000 certificates for combat veterans"
"This is many times more than before. In May, the department ordered the printing of almost 100 thousand certificates of combat veterans and over 23 thousand certificates for family members of the deceased. Last summer, the Ministry of Labor signed a contract to print more than 82 thousand forms of certificates for combat veterans and about six thousand certificates for family members of the deceased."
"Last summer, the Labour Ministry signed a contract for the printing of over 82,000 blank combat veteran certificates and nearly 6,000 certificates for family members of deceased soldiers."

Once this information gets spread around (and I'm sure it's already in the grapevine through relatives in the US), the Russian Government will begin to fragment, eventually into total collapse. And it's not just my opinion either. This is why I think Solovyov was so morose the other day. And it's not just Solovyov either.

"Igor Girkin, a former FSB operative, said he believes Russia is on the eve of collapse."
"Russia's "troubles" will soon enter a "terminal stage" that will usher in a collapse of the entire system."

Things are already falling apart within Russia. They can't even maintain 'high security' areas well anymore.

"The incident caused major hysteria in the top military command: government planes, the so-called ‘judgement day planes’ and special aircraft (reconnaissance aircraft) are stationed at this airbase."
"unknown individuals planted explosives at a thoroughly guarded airbase and blew up an AN-148 and an IL-20 aircraft (both belong to the 354 special purpose air regiment), as well as a MI-28H helicopter which was actively involved in shooting down drones above Moscow Oblast before."
https://www.yahoo.com/news/unknown-saboteurs-blow-two-aircraft-084912599.html

And news from the front lines just gets worse and worse every day.

"during the day of 17 September, the total losses of the Russians on the Tavriia front increased sharply and amounted to 313 people. Before that, the number was around 200 casualties for three days in a row. On Sunday, the Russians also lost 1.5 times more equipment than usual – 31 pieces. Among them are four artillery guns, an anti-aircraft defence device and three pieces of special equipment."
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-losses-increase-sharply-tavriia-174546779.html

"35 Russian artillery systems and 520 personnel have been eliminated over the past 24 hours"
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-loses-35-enemy-artillery-082700659.html

I still like Solovyov's comment from yesterday. I think he's summed up the Russian situation up quite well. I'll repost that part since DCUMS seems to have 'lost' it.

"When you look at what is happening right now and see the armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine, not in terms like a special military operation, but you see it completely differently. You see it as an abysmal confrontation between absolute evil and absolute depravity; versus the absolute heights of the human spirit."
