German chancellor says many thought the world moved past countries trying to conquer their neighbors but that 'agreement is now canceled by Putin'
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Putin is like past imperialists who thought "if you are mighty enough, you can just take territory of your neighbors."www.yahoo.com
That was just German delusion. Is Olaf not looking at Pakistan or China?
Good job thinking exactly like your CIA masters have told you to think like.
Satellite pics of target area please.
You were so convinced the Russians hit the mall directly, which they didn't. Sat images proved that. So if targets were destroyed in Belgorod, then I'm sure you have seen the satellite images of the target area. Or wait, since your media told you that, you are gonna blindly believe it just like sheep would?
Would you believe you are being sold a fairy tale?
Unfortunately Oryx has been passing off many Ukr losses as Russian...
If only the US starting arming Ukraine with HiMARS the moment Russia started massing troops this war would have likely been a lot different/worse for Russian forces. They would have never gotten as close to Kyiv and Kharkiv and Donbas would have looked waaay different. The south including Mariupol would likely also look way different. Oh well hindsight I reckon. But as more HiMARS and M270's make their way they will start targeting frontline forces making it easy for Ukrainian counter offensives.

War is fought by numbers. Those with a $ sign before them and those without.
What, the four ammo dumps where videos have been posted already? As for the Pantsir S1 stuck in building, that's been posted already.
What part is a fairy tale exactly? You think the ammo dump explosions were fake?
The naivety. Like I said, if Russia was 'easily winning' over Ukraine, this war would have ended 2-3 months ago. We're half way through Month 5, give it a rest. Russia has sent train after train, and convoy after convoy into Ukraine. Sure, Ukraine has a lot of losses too, but so does Russia. You should get some proper news, or at least check out up to date feed on YouTube, twitter and livemapua. I can't believe anyone would believe a figure of less than 10,000 for Russian deaths at this stage.
China quite possibly. The first country the CCP conquered was arguably China itself, ditto for the Soviets and Russia. Pakistan and India over Kashmir, that's an historic dispute. I would suggest that both of you leave things as they are, at least until you prove there's anything there that's actually worth fighting over.
Ah yes, the old, "I'm a free thinker," BS. Some great minds of the past have gone against popular opinion and heralded breakthrough, Einstein, Galileo, Newton etc. but usually it just means you're an idiot. Russia has been preparing for this war for a long time. Ukraine was infested with FSB top to bottom. They had even moved ammo into the country beforehand, it was in the planning for over a decade, combined with provocation elsewhere in Europe too and a build up of new arms.
If only they started in 2014 the war could have been prevented altogether.
This is what many don't realise, extra defence spending can save money... not to mention lives.
Yeah, dude, 10 years to prepare and they are fighting with this...
WW2 era.
American Civil War era.
Ukraine equipping conscripts with such weapons I can understand, they suddenly had to raise an army of 500,000. But you're saying the Russians had 10 years and they couldn't equip a few thousand conscripts from Donbas with decent rifles?

That's not a lot actually. They are fighting a war, imports are dead, foreign businesses have up and left and they are merely slashing their budget by $40B. That's surprisingly low.
And spending in 2023 slashed by merely $10B? That's absolutely peanuts.
Which means they believe by 2024 they will go back in the black...
When you're fighting a war, you need to spend more. He's now spending less than he was when not at war. The war is costing $0.9bn per pay, that's about $330bn per year from state services before this cut.
