“A very significant number are white extremists," said Jason Blazakis, a senior researcher at The Soufan Center and a professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS). “The bulk of those foreign fighters are coming from the near region,” he added, pointing to 800 fighters from Belarus and hundreds more coming from Germany, Georgia, Serbia and dozens of other countries across Europe. “That’s, in some ways, not too different than what you saw with ISIS,” Blazakis said, using an acronym for the Islamic State terror group.

Great, glad you are learning and will no longer continue in your atypical rants, with your "mouthbreather" type comments, self assured in your assumptions as to knowing anyone intentions.

exactly the words of a hypocrite. Are you about staving off the worlds evil people (Putin), or not (Xi/China)
yes, ALL republicans are scumbags...........the very "generalization" I was talking about.
But, you want to fight, and kill, to save the white supremes of Ukraine.......why?
and, we are guessing, that would be a YES.....on your medical device equipment being built in China. All about YOUR dollars, eh

Re: All Things Russia & Ukraine
Updates today
Per Ed Luce at Financial Times - "For the nth time Republicans, the reason Putin didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was president was because he was getting everything he wanted without firing a shot, or risking an oligarch. War is the last resort. Trump was a gift to Putin that kept on giving."
Lots of Russian nationals looking to get out of the country as the fear is that Putin is going to declare martial law.
Also reports that protestors arrested may now be conscripted into the army. That should improve morale.
Russian Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky was reportedly killed yesterday by a sniper.
Moldova and Georgia applied for accelerated EU membership immediately after Ukraine submitted its accelerated application.

Interesting, and I had not thought about this until I read your post; how is the Russian army "manned"? Are they all volunteers or is there a mandatory involvement AKA Draft?

Referring only to your first paragraph.
Ed Luce is a remarkably dishonest, effete, pedantic media hack. Media puts out the most excessive hyperbole so folks like Kismet excitedly repeat it, assuming it’s true, never looking at the actual scoreboard. The scoreboard says Putin laid off Ukraine while Trump was POTUS. Furthers it shows that Putin took Crimea while Obama was.
Always look at the scoreboard when folks are trying to see sell you BS. The scoreboard, unlike media, does not lie.
Like everyone, I want Ukraine to prevail. I think Putin has committed war crimes. I want Russia to be free. But to entertain partisan hacks like Luce offends me.

Re: All Things Russia & Ukraine
Was chatting yesterday with my friend who had spent extensive time in Kyiv working with Ukrainian reform candidate Natalia Korolevska. As a reminder, she was running against the puppet candidate propped by Putin with assistance from all-American Paul Manafort. My friend has been trying to get in touch with Ms Korolevska and her staff. Without much detail they have responded that they are still around. Of course they are unable to divulge their location as they are all on Putin’s kill list.
Mt friend really enjoyed his time in Ukraine. Great people and surroundings with so much potential to be a vibrant European nation. However, Putin does not want that as it would destabilize Russia.
I haven’t been watching the news since the invasion. It all feels like a good citizen getting murdered in a public courtyard with everyone watching from above in their apartments, but doing nothing.

Re: All Things Russia & Ukraine
IMO, the correct way to think about it is that it would destabilize PUTIN. Putin THINKS he IS Russia. With luck, this whole affair will disabuse everyone, including regular Russians...of the Putin=Russia trope.ardilla secreta wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 11:10 amMt friend really enjoyed his time in Ukraine.
