In other news the Russians continue to take ground in Ukraine and the media continue to largely keep quiet about it. The EU are discussing ways of ignoring Hungary's opposition to giving Ukraine a huge 50 billion (EU democracy) and in America it looks like funding will be delayed until at least early new year. All money the western taxpayer won't get back. Biden will have to make significant changes to border policy for it to happen....and the republicans won't allow him to fake it. However, I expect them to eventually get that 60 billion to Ukraine somehow regardless. All money that is ultimately being thrown away to attempt to rescue a situation that makes no sense.....Hitler found out that population size defeats quality of army if your opponent is ruthless enough. The Soviets beat Germany despite losing around four or five times as many people against them. However, the supporters of this war will fight until the last Ukrainian....press ganging men into the army along the way, which has been happening for some time in Ukraine....even woman are now being put into the army. It's been said since the start, Ukraine can't win an attritional war, only Russia can. There's a lack of common sense, but ok, we will watch it play out because that's what was decided.

I read a request to 'tone it down' and stopped reading. No, I won't 'tone it down' because the charge is ridiculously sensitive. So I will compromise and no longer respond to you. Translation for those joining us, Stirling has been struggling to come with any meaningful data or evidence to back his arguments, doesn't like the scrutiny when I pull data to contradict his points and instead played the man rather than the ball. After being called out on this too he has decided do the 'comprising' thing and pretend he can't hear me. Lovely stuff.

You see this all the time, people who won't read a thread but want you to continually repeat yourself because they think what they type is some kind of gotcha. I've pretty much covered those points all on this thread but I won't be told to self censor. Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Dec 2023 11.26am)

As soon as a boxed in corner is encountered the personal attacks come out to try to divert the thread. Brick walls are more pliable.

Perhaps some people need to be reminded that the reason they have a yellow card is probably because they couldn't refrain from a swearing insult towards a poster.

I don’t recall using a swear word! It’s very rare that I do and never in writing. Although I suppose it depends on what you regard as such. Some people think that damn is a swear word! However I agree that we should all try to stick to the subject and avoid the petty personal comments. The situation in Ukraine is too important to be mired in such irrelevancy.

having avoided this thread cos of ....boredom with constant wars....i saw all the usual msm propaganda today and have decided that 'we' are losing this War. and i got absolutely zero sympathy for NATO , the EU, the yanks and anybody else stupid enough to march their flags in the footsteps of Napoleon & Hitler. To describe it as another Vietnam would be an understatement. Edited by PalazioVecchio (20 Dec 2023 4.49pm)

Some interesting chatter out there about special flights from Russia landing in the US and regime barometers such as the 'Washington Post' deleting their specific Ukraine section. Could be moving into the end game here.

And what do "the Western media" gain by hushing it up? The EU are discussing ways of ignoring Hungary's opposition to giving Ukraine a huge 50 billion (EU democracy) and in America it looks like funding will be delayed until at least early new year. All money the western taxpayer won't get back.It may be money well spent. If the same effort had been made to stop Hitler, WW2 could have been avoided. Biden will have to make significant changes to border policy for it to happen....and the republicans won't allow him to fake it. However, I expect them to eventually get that 60 billion to Ukraine somehow regardless. All money that is ultimately being thrown away to attempt to rescue a situation that makes no sense.....Hitler found out that population size defeats quality of army if your opponent is ruthless enough. The Soviets beat Germany despite losing around four or five times as many people against them.They had a greater pool of peasants then. And it was Germany invading Russia remember? However, the supporters of this war will fight until the last Ukrainian....press ganging men into the army along the way, which has been happening for some time in Ukraine....even woman are now being put into the army.
There's a lack of common sense, but ok, we will watch it play out because that's what was decided. You think Russia should be allowed to win. What kind of message will that send to Putin and his thug cronies?
