You are getting ahead of yourself with all this celebration. The only thing left to do regarding the war is to perform combat drills every single morning to ensure our days remain productive and spirited. Every morning, every single day until this war reaches its conclusion 👋

damn fool🐔
From this moment forward, I shall write nothing more concerning the war. I have already provided my input whenever someone inquired or when others were debating, adding my own perspective to the fray. As of now, it is strictly Catenaccio—total silence.
You’re just lashing out because your little theories regarding February are falling apart. The facts here are crystal clear, and they don't favor those who hate the West and try to play the Relativizer to soften the blow. We are looking at an undeniable act of aggression—a full-scale military invasion by a dictator against a sovereign, democratic, internationally recognized nation with clearly defined borders, a nation that provided absolutely no provocation whatsoever. Meanwhile, this little man publicly rants, denying the very existence of the Ukrainian state, boasting about the "Russian world" (sound familiar?), and hunting for imaginary foreign and domestic enemies. You’re nothing but an angry puppet, a servant of Putin, and a total amateur playing at being a doctor of geopolitics. Don't you ever mention my name again. I have zero interest in dealing with people who attempt to justify this evil coming from The Kremlin or try to dilute legitimate criticism through constant relativization.

It is just as distasteful to blame whoever happens to be on duty for every single disaster occurring in the world.
I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of because I refuse to peddle lies about millions killed in Iraq or 200,000 children lost in Yemen. I won't even get started on that other ridiculous pamphlet. We have finally realized the true nature of those proximity-based Russian dollars, and now we aren't going to let us be fooled by the propaganda coming from Russia Today, Sputnik, and the rest of their elite circle.

Let's not put any limits on our own imagination. Anything is possible if we decide it can be; we can simply declare whatever wild idea happens to strike us.
This individual is rambling on about managers who lived like kings while vacationing in Moscow. It’s common knowledge how deeply Russian capital has infiltrated the state. If our President starts acting like a Russian asset, why shouldn't we suspect someone with direct business ties to Moscow? That is precisely how you should interpret this pile of nonsense he’s spewing. Let's just add another Russian operative to the list; I'll call him Spivak.
James Anderson5, you are nothing but a liar. Have some shame. Besides, you’re just a fraud. People like you always look out for themselves and never even feel the weight of a crisis. Go somewhere else to peddle those relativizing lies of yours.
The madness is escalating. It won’t be long before Canada is integrated into the alliance and the union, yet Russia still feels the need to issue these preemptive warnings. Anyone with half a brain realizes they are reading their propaganda like a textbook; they’ve spun a complete web of lies just to justify the invasion of Ukraine. Regarding Canada, their narrative about a NATO threat wouldn't even hold water because the alliance would essentially be sitting on their doorstep—they don't even have established borders to speak of. Or they’ll resort to those ridiculous claims about Nazis threatening Russians in Canada, which is absurd—what dead Russians in Canada are they talking about? There will be no peace until that insane regime in Moscow is defeated militarily. Meanwhile, the poor Moldovans are shaking in their boots like leaves in the wind, anxiously watching to see if Ukraine can withstand the onslaught from the orca.
The man stands right in the middle of the city alongside his ministers, addressing the nation directly. You can clearly see security personnel keeping a watchful eye around him, and Moba is positioned behind the camera. This was during that initial, most critical phase when things were at their peak and the streets were packed with protesters searching for him. His last broadcast was from his own office, where you could clearly see the Kyiv skyline as he turned the camera. Every single time they tried to push some fake narrative, he would step up with a video rebuttal. Honestly, they aren't even bothering to spread those lies anymore.
If my head were on the line every single second—if the absolute worst-case scenarios were actually happening, cities burning everywhere, my family forced into exile, every day feeling like the last—I certainly wouldn't want a supreme commander who acts like a total drag queen, or even worse, some TV clownlet in the league of Marko Petreković.
I'm not sitting here watching this war with a bowl of popcorn, so I'm not fully up to speed, but I have seen all these glowing tributes about how much of a "tough guy" he is handling the situation. In what way, exactly, has this guy actually shown any guts?
Don't embarrass yourself. This man is the textbook definition of a true president. You don't win wars without leaders like him. He has a story, he has charisma, and he commands the camera with absolute authority. He refused to leave Kyiv even when the Americans tried to pull him out because they were expecting the city to fall quickly. He survived three assassination attempts by special forces units right inside Kyiv. When they tried to evacuate him, he told them he didn't need a ride—he needed weapons. Every single day, he sends messages from Kyiv just so the people can see that the lies and the propaganda claiming he fled the city are complete nonsense. He does the same for the brave citizens across the entire country. He lobbies internationally for aid. But sure, you think he's weak just because he acted like a sensitive soul during his acting days. Let's just go to war so we can talk trash instead.
Across the globe, there are individuals who claim to despise the West while simultaneously glorifying dictatorial regimes. Yet, they feel absolutely no hesitation when it comes to enjoying the many luxuries and comforts provided by the very Western systems they criticize. Make no mistake: there is zero chance that these people will suddenly pack up and relocate to Russia, China, or Korea. All this posturing about hating the West and praising the "righteous" East exists purely in the realm of theory. They would change their tune incredibly fast if they ever had to experience firsthand what life actually looks like under those systems.
It’s nothing more than Javelins and short-to-medium range MANPADS. Russia has already handed over a massive amount of equipment, including those high-end air defense systems. In just three weeks of fighting, they have bled out far too much armor and manpower. Putin has actually fired intelligence generals because, apparently, the intelligence community was the real architect behind this invasion while the military was kept largely in the dark. The entire plan has been a total fiasco. On the Russian side, there is absolute chaos. Western intelligence agencies and the Ukrainian intelligence services are intercepting communications with ease because these people aren't even using secure lines—they're just communicating over standard channels. American intelligence analysts are predicting that Russia might only hold out for another three to four weeks before the military collapses under the weight of its own failures. British intelligence suggests the offensive has stalled on most fronts, with troops now digging in. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians have already launched their first counteroffensives. To make matters worse, the Russians are frantically rushing new reinforcements in from the Far East. They’ve even called up fighters from Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria, ready to head off to fight in Europe. All of this points to pure exhaustion on the battlefield and a critical shortage of personnel. Morale is bottoming out, conscripts are refusing to fight, desertion is rampant, and there's a dire lack of ammunition, fuel, and food. It’s paralyzing the military and stalling any forward momentum. Because of this mess, generals are being forced onto the front lines, making them easy targets.
Agreeing to something this one-sided is essentially signing a surrender. That said, I respect Filija's efforts; from the very beginning, he has been persistently and cunningly working to prevent the fragmentation of the country's East and South.
A quick note for those interested in how their Ukrainian brothers have begun launching counterattacks on multiple fronts.
Edit:
I see Milance has banned aircraft from flying over our cities. Finally, Plenkovics put him in his place, telling him he’s making statements like he’s some official from the Kremlin—clearly alluding to what a few of us were discussing here just recently. It is becoming painfully obvious that our president is playing for the Russian side, and he certainly isn't doing it out of the goodness of his heart; he's clearly been bought off. When will we finally see an impeachment or new elections to get him out? I can't even look at him anymore.
Zoki finds it bothersome and views it as some kind of conspiracy, though it isn't even clear why, given that he has never attempted to hide his political leanings. I am standing right there with you regarding freedom of speech and the necessity of pluralism. I personally advocate for such a society, so I wouldn't dream of censoring anyone, not even the late Mandica.
There is absolutely nothing to pack up here. The man was a self-proclaimed Yugoslav, and he never attempted to hide that identity. While he might be my adversary, I respect him because he remained consistent to his principles until the very end. Out of that respect, I chose to stay silent while a few of you were busy mourning him. However, I feel compelled to speak up now because people are trying to push this narrative about "repackaging" his legacy just because I’ve stated the undeniable truth regarding his Yugoslav identity. His views aren't even in the same league as mine.
