Offside (General Discussion)

Actually, Gordan Malic had been drawing certain connections to the Russians even before the war started, so this really comes as no surprise at all...

Russia maintains an incredibly vast and intricate network of intelligence assets within our borders. Ivana Petrovic has spoken quite candidly about this reality. Even that deadbeat Dodik openly declared that his only true understandings come from Milanović and Putin, actually going so far as to publicly thank them for it. And what was the response here? Absolutely nothing—just business as usual. Let me reiterate my previous point: he is among the very first people on my list of those I believe were actively recruited by Russian intelligence services. His behavior is nothing short of disgraceful. It is high time we finally abolish the office of the President.

Kyle Campbell4 said:Carl, look at how weak the resistance from the Ukrainians actually is. It's so pathetic that entire brigades are being tossed out of the line like trash. Russian mothers are left mourning their dead in some godforsaken corner of Russia.

Milance is just virtue signaling again, as usual. Koks has completely taken over his head. He has an opinion and a rigid stance on everything, acting all high and mighty. Thank God he isn't the one leading us into war. Lola would try to take on Russia head-on, even though they are the much stronger enemy. And honestly, that’s exactly what the initial Russian plan was: strike hard from the east to pin the Ukrainian army down in a frontal fight, while forces from the north and south move to encircle them, leaving the entire army trapped and facing total destruction. In a situation like that, Kyiv would be forced to offer a surrender. Instead, the Ukrainians focused on defending cities. I swear, if the president of the country isn't a Russian pawn, I don't know what is. We have plenty of them in public life. And he increasingly reminds me of one of them. He's been in politics forever; who knows who he's worked with or who has had access to him. Publicly saying exactly what the Russians were hoping for means he's either their secret player or just a complete idiot. There is no third option.

Luckily, we have a state and an economy that are essentially non-existent.
Imagine if we were actually one of the top ten countries in the EU and our opinion actually mattered—then we'd be stuck with a fool like this for a President.
So, they're providing "weak resistance"—was he briefed by his defense advisor on that, or is he just making things up as he goes?

The Russian Ministry of Defense claims 500 Russians killed and 1,600 wounded. For the Ukrainians, they’re reporting 2,900 dead, 3,700 injured, and 572 who surrendered.

Signed by Fury. Milance's statements sound exactly like he's on their payroll—which probably implies they funded his presidential campaign too, making him almost certainly their player.

No European president would ever spout such bullshit. You only say stuff like that if someone is paying you off.

This popped up in my YouTube recommendations—a video uploaded ten years ago

Of course—not a single one of them actually surrendered. 🤣

there’s even a video of that Russian soldier who got greeted with tea and a sandwich—poor guy was just dying to grab a drink and get some food in him

and he's barely even 25 years old, honestly

Kyle Campbell4 said:I hear you, but come on, let's be real here. We’ve been watching this unfold for years. And people just keep reacting the same way—not even reacting, really, but constantly handing power back to the HDZ. Now, suddenly, everyone is concerned? I don't buy it. Let's just be honest with ourselves: we're terrified of these small-minded lunatics. As for the media part—look, COVID is gone, we're all healthy now. It’s obvious why every major topic has been pushed to the sidelines. We are living through the very thing our children will be studying in history books a hundred years from now. You aren't stupid, man; I know you realize just how massive this scale truly is.

Oh, you're overreacting ☕

Honestly, I’m much more worried about the HDZ 🕺

What is the agent Cocky saying?

Kyle Campbell4 said:If there is any truth to the rumors about how that little guy planned to whisk his family away to a nuclear bunker in Siberia, maybe the man genuinely believes he could pull the trigger somewhere just to prove to the rest of us that he isn't joking.

I am in complete agreement regarding the posts about Russian doctrine. They haven't shifted an inch. In fact, they are fighting exactly the same way they did fifty years ago. Their strategy relies solely on brute force—simply throwing humanity and hardware into the meat grinder as much as necessary. They expect some Western military to humiliate them, so they stick to the old playbook: heavy artillery preparation to level cities, followed immediately by armored infantry assaults. Their logistics and adaptability are incredibly weak. They follow a rigid pattern of warfare and refuse to deviate; they simply throw fresh troops into the fire. It is a pure numbers game where they calculate defeating the enemy through sheer volume. I don't see any scenario where they would ever dare to attack a NATO member. They will continue to target smaller nations outside the alliance. Right now, Ukraine remains their biggest bite.

But where exactly would he drop it? Maybe I'm being naive, but I feel like there's way too much hysteria building up over the threat of a nuclear strike. Dropping it in his own backyard makes zero sense, and targeting a NATO state doesn't make sense either. So where? To me, the whole nuclear threat feels like nothing more than blatant intimidation aimed at the West to ensure nobody interferes.

Mashe, you were the one saying he definitely won't attack because it’s all just media games, claiming he'll just toss it at somewhere like Chernobyl instead. Honestly, who knows—the guy might just drop it anywhere because he's an absolute moron. And then we're supposed to believe only Russia can save us from extinction? Give me a break, 🙂, if they just turn their backs on him and hang him publicly in front of the whole world, that would be a pretty good start.

As far as Lavrov is concerned, Zelensky isn't some fascist junkie anymore—he's actually a president you can sit down and negotiate with. In five days, it'll be just like dealing with Napoleon.

Honestly, I think the Russians are totally down for a deal. If they grab Crimea and the whole world actually recognizes it, they’ll pack up and head home. They don't give a damn what people back home think; they’re following that Chinese playbook where you just control everything, nobody knows anything, and boom—case closed.

I'm with you on this. Honestly, even if someone actually launched a military strike against Russia, they wouldn't touch the nukes until they were staring down total surrender.

Regardless of how crazy someone might be, threatening to use nuclear weapons requires serious nerve. It’s essentially a bluff, but you have to be psychologically conditioned so that when you make a threat like that, you don't actually follow through. It’s like those mental clicks where, in the moment, you aren't consciously planning to pull the trigger, but something compels you to say it. Over time, you end up convincing yourself of your own rhetoric, until eventually, there comes a moment where you’re so certain of what you said that you actually do it. It’s all subconscious. You really shouldn't mess around with that kind of thing.

Personally, I think their economy is getting hammered. They didn't see this kind of slump coming, and those sanctions on the central bank have pretty much stripped away their room to maneuver.

The Americans will likely throw some kind of psychological curveball at the loser once this war finally wraps up—just to make sure they feel the sting of defeat even after the fighting stops.

To me, the current state of affairs on a global scale is a clear sign that we are losing our grip on control. It feels as though politicians might no longer possess the capacity to truly lead their nations on the world stage—especially if this conflict were to escalate into a full-blown global struggle.

That said, I don't actually think we'll see a total escalation; instead, I suspect we’ll spend the next few months simply witnessing the meat grinder of Ukrainian lives. It will be a slow, relatively quiet tragedy—the steady suffering and death of a nation—while the European Union offers its sympathies through mere phone calls.

For sure. I mean, let’s be real, who among us actually expected the European Union to react like this? At most, we were all just bracing ourselves for some sanctions targeting a handful of individuals and a few defense contractors 🤣

I saw that clip over on Reddit.

The big question is whether he's even 20. You can see it all over his face—he's basically a child. They even called his mom on video chat and showed her what was happening.

Watching him tear into that sandwich and tea... man, you'd think he hadn't eaten in weeks.
