I know you don't, that's the problem.
I don’t see any logic to that statement
Well it’s hardly a problem it’s my opinion - it’s odd that you often mock the state of the Russian military yet believe they are capable of world dominance if they take over Ukraine
I guess is rests on whether you believe post any coup Russia would just let the Ukrainians crack on or would have enacted the genocide they keep talking about and are enacting in occupied territories.
I have never said they are capable of world dominance, quite the opposite.
Doesn't mean that Ukraine should have just rolled over and invited Vlad in for a cuppa like you wanted them to.
No it depends on if you believe Russia are remotely capable of taking any other country which they aren’t - a prolonged war suits the West so we will be visiting this thread for many years to come
So how many Ukrainians do you think would have lost their lives under your plan? How did you see it panning out?
Of course not Ukraine should resist as much as it can - why mention Hitler if it wasn’t a fear of greater dominance?
Because whether it's one country or the entire world the point is the same.
You're saying countless lives would have been saved if Ukraine had capitulated, insinuating that is the better option.
Which means presumably you think allowing Germany to crack on in WW2 was the better option to save lives.
Without western intervention far less as they’d have capitulated
Well no as again Russia aren’t capable of occupation of the whole of Europe - it’s of no danger to the wider world whatsoever
Anyway I’ll revisit this thread in a couple of years when I’m sure nothing will have changed
You have to feel for the collateral though , like others have said, got to have been brave or stupid to travel with that man
And yes it does sound a bit careless doesn't it. If I was Prigozhin I'd have been living in a windowless bungalow, eating solely out of tins, avoiding door handles and suspicious underwear, and doing the school run in a tank (that someone else started for me).
He tried coming back from the point of no return. Really if you're going to march on Moscow as part of some armed insurrection, you'll probably only get one go at it.Yeah I said at the time he'd surely be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.
But I guess Russia is so fucked up that maybe he genuinely believed whatever assurances Putin gave him? They seem to believe what they want to hear over there, rather than the actual truth.
Mad isn't it. I was merely married to a Russian, but would still avoid walking past the London Palladium, because palladium sounded too close a word to polonium.And yes it does sound a bit careless doesn't it.

Like Trump?The most depressing thing about Russia is it seems to be corrupt violent psychopaths all the way down. They could be such a great country if they had someone who could prioritise the population and interact with the world.
Agreed. However, I think that is true of most countries. Psychopaths tend to be very effective at getting into positions of power. It's just that the history and institutions of different countries determine amount of power they can wield.The most depressing thing about Russia is it seems to be corrupt violent psychopaths all the way down.

I don't. Do you?Like Trump?
I was going to like your post but you may misinterpret it!I don't. Do you?
It’s a possibility, mind you I’ve seen some of those videos of how they drive on the roads ….especially after 1/2 a bottle of vodkaThe most depressing thing about Russia is it seems to be corrupt violent psychopaths all the way down.

If you shoot for the king, don't miss.He tried coming back from the point of no return. Really if you're going to march on Moscow as part of some armed insurrection, you'll probably only get one go at it.
Still using them wrong I see:Can do a lot when you’re motivated, I guess they only really needed to adapt the technology I can’t imagine driving a tank is to much different to driving b tank.
