[RD] War in Ukraine: Other topics

russia wouldn't ever have invaded Finland and Sweden for joining NATO . As per agreements the West intensely rejects to have existed despite they were readily breached with the Baltic States . Russia wouldn't invaded if "peacekeepers" were disclosed and acknowledged . Line in the sand ; enough with this . Zelensky will be defeated without any buts and howevers .

Of course. The "NATO expansion threat" was a russian lie. They were never threatened by NATO.
Zelensky will be defeated
He was elected by Ukrainians and isn't fighting alone. You didn't watch the video, did you?
 
really ? The Russians will soon be harping thousands of your finest are laying dead , unavailable to be the first in the West's fist to intervene in our ever coming Civil War as Islamists and so many ists are stunned to discover things . Might be really useful to imagine not everybody is on a frequency you assume to command .
 
ukraine will not be in . As even Article V has been reduced to talking .
As Article 5 has yet to be really tested, no one is quite sure what will happen once invoked.
The text of the article does not say that NATO members are obligated to respond militarily, although that is one possibility. I believe it only asks for some sort of collective response.

Presumably this is supposed to give maximum clarity as to one's national policy and leave little room for backstabbing and whatnot, as which predated the First World War. ex. "Frace is in NATO; we in the UK aren't throwing them to the wolves to save our own skin."

If that's "talk", well, that's certainly one opinion.

As for the video posted, it makes a big point about how Eastern Europeans see (and did see) incursions by Moscow into territories which proclaimed their independence from it, to justify their ascension in to NATO out of one of fear. While I'm very sure that's true, I doubt very much that that's how Russians see things and probably view the Chechen Wars et al as little more than police actions which don't constitute wars per se.

I'd have to look at figures and dates, but I'd be curious to know if the rate of NATO expansion actually slowed down in the two decades before the invasion of Ukraine. As the last member to join NATO before then was Macedonia (2020). At that point, was Russia truly concerned about being attacked? Was Macedonia really some last straw?

NATO troops might still end up stationed in Ukraine.

Your prophesizing is irrelevant to the video I posted. You act like an AI reply bot who was triggered by the word "NATO". You didn't even bother to watch the video, did you?
 
reported at least three times ? There is going to be a case study out of it . Including the assumption that me not watching a video is more important than failing to understand Russians will intentionally stay ignorant of Trump not fulfilling his promises and he will be hiding behind an internet offensive that says it is allright . Where is the piece we bots will read it that letting Ukranians get killed by Russians further on will be around 808 billion dollars cheaper ?
 
hitting exactly same window (!)
Maybe some Russian general lives there. I'd check if I were you.
Other than that, a very minor disturbance for Kazan inhabitants. Just a taste of things that many Ukrainians cities experience daily. Literally daily. I mean, the cities that haven't been erased yet.
 
Cosplayin Al-Qaida and 11/09 very nice, indeed.
In almost three years I've been here I'm still hoping to see a Russian poster who's able to make a good faith argument. This 9/11 nonsensical comparison is literally what your propaganda has responded with today. It's ridiculous, and even more ridiculous that you bring it here and don't see the problem.
 
Nonsense compassion, yeah. Nothing common

I fail to grasp the similarity.

First time I see someone trying to make a point using not one, but two false equivalences.

Ukraine like make strikes at specific dates or to get nice picture. Cheap PR...
Where a lot of military targets in Kazan, in Kazan a lot of military plants. And it's not first (and not even 5) time, then drones come here. And consider all new intelligence tech, access to witch have Ukraine, it's almost impossible, what they didn't know about this building (highest one in Kazan). So. It's using 2 airplane, to strike at highest building, helping it also would bunr and collapse. Nothing similar.

Well, duh. You see those flying things, they have wings, and they did hit buildings. SIMILAR TO AL-QAIDA !
Never mind that type of drones can be lifted by a couple of adult men, and even if they have like 20-30kg of explosive on them, it requires a special type of intelligence to compare them to a passenger airliner filled with ... well, passengers.
 
One of Russia's largest microchip factories declared bankrupt

One of Russia's largest microchip manufacturers, Angstrem (Zelenograd), has been declared bankrupt.

The company has been put under observation, and the decision to declare the debtor bankrupt was made at the request of Zenit Bank on 2 December 2024. As the case file shows, the court ordered in November 2019 that RUB 1 billion (about US$9.94 million) in compensation be paid out to Zenit by Angstrem, but the plant has not done so in more than six years.

The plant was a landmark for Russia and was supposed to become the largest player in the production of microchips. It was supervised by Leonid Reiman, a former communications minister close to Putin. He received US$1 billion in state funding – his company attracted a €815 million credit line from the Russian state development corporation and investment company VEB in 2008 to set up production of processors, smart cards, and electronic passports. The project was supported by the Russian government and the Security Council.

Having accumulated more than RUB 100 billion (about US$1 billion) in debts, Angstrem suddenly stopped paying back its loans. In 2014, Angstrom did not have the funds to continue its operation, the tax service said.

The tax service said Angstrem has 108 enforcement proceedings worth RUB 147.6 billion (about US$1.5 billion). It also has unfinished legal proceedings worth more than EUR 500 million.

What are the odds that a lot of the funds injected into the company, have mysteriously disappeared?

Leonid better stay away from windows.
 
^Not enough western parts probably.

Russian ships continue sinking randomly around the world. Last one sank in front of the Spanish Mediterranean coast and was property of the Russian government, it supposedly carried key components for nuclear icebreakers. Spanish rescue services had to waste time and taxpayer money rescuing the inepts aboard. Some are missing.


Coincidence, Ukrainian SBU actions or plain incompetence?
