Russia ignores the geneva convention. Executes pows. Targets hospitals (200 hospitals hit so far in the war, russis also known for targetting hospitals in syria before this war, also they hit many supermarkets recent weeks during daytime filled with civilians), Bucha massacre and izyum massacres. Torture centers in occupied ukrainian cities, (favourite technique is nail pulling).

They also copied the exact same reasons that nazi germany used to start ww2.

You really don't know anything about all this? This is just the basics there's obviously more that you obviously know about since you are so "well informed" according to yourself.


the 1st part is fun, because Geneva convention has been established in 1949 (a sidenote for rednecks - after WW2, WW2 is the war where Nazis have been defeated), so violating it or not cannot be compared with Nazis' actions.
The US supports Ukraine with cluster munition, don't see a reason not to follow.

The government doesn't execute POWs, neither torture them.

Targets hospitals, supermarkets - UA side does that a lot too. Its quite easy to find numerous confirmations that UA intentionally uses civil buildings for armed forces - I've posted a videolink with ~20 soldiers in a UA school recently in the discussion with @maybenexttime. There's even an Amnesty International report confirming this, which is surprising since all Western human-rights organisations most of the times are simply political influence tools.

Bucha massacre has been staged (it is confirmed that the dead people there have been killed mainly by the Ukrainian artillery shrapnel) for a very simple and obvious reason - to cancel Istanbul peace negotiations.
Izyum massacre - https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/07/06/ukraine-civilian-deaths-cluster-munitions,
most of civilian deaths again are due to artillery; there are videos of UA soldiers shooting point-blank pro-Russian Izyum administration personnel

>>They also copied the exact same reasons that nazi germany used to start ww2
- you have already failed to provide evidence for a similar statement. Also, I doubt that you can substantiate on what the nazi Germany' reasons for WW2 were.

Also the kyiv attack miserably failing will never be admitted by russia (if they didnt already admit it). Because the only people who know what the plan was is the abolut top of the russian mafia, ops i meant russian government, and they will never admit what the original plan was (its so fucking obvious they wanted zelensky to flee the country, which he almost did, and that ukraine would give up, but sure brainwashed russians can convince themselfs this was super high level mindgame manoveour to go all the way to kyiv then retreat and lose all that time and manpower and material for "diversion tactics" lol.

The only statement i remember about this is that they said "we retreat from kyiv because we want peace" or something like that.


-wasn't it your words, that we should do inference based on actions, not words? I'll ask you the same question as @Velr previously: do you believe that the simultaneous attack in the south of Ukraine would have been so successfull (70 thousands sq kilometers gained, and the landbridge to Crimea secured) if not for the chaos in Kiev caused by the minor group of Russian troops?

I've been following this thread since the beginning of the war. It was one of my more reliable news sources because people from all sides of the conflict shared their information, experiences, views. Those views were biased by media, sure, but biased from both sides still gave me a good hunch of what was going on.

No longer so, sadly. The thread slowly spiraled into a clash of echo chambers. I no longer believe anyone is able to convince people like zeo or a_ch when it comes to any western point of view. And vice versa, I no longer believe that anyone would be listening if zeo or a_ch would actually make a valid point.

So I'm out. This thread no longer delivers what it used to. Shoutout to Ardias for providing the Russia point of view during the early days, and to all the others that chipped in.


I'm not sure if I agree. The same individuals have been spewing the same brainwashed conspiratorial bullshit since the beginning. But there was also a lot of things happening in the beginning, lending itself to discussions and updates about it. Things are obviously calmer atm, but the same bullshit is still being spewed, making that take up a higher percentage of comments in here.

The current status is that Ukraine have pushed into Kursk, but in doing so have thinned out their lines in the southeast, allowing Russia to push further into Ukraine with about the same amount (altough at a substancially higher loss). Moving the lines, even if the gains and losses of pure territory ends up being the same, is very beneficial for Ukraine, as that allows their superior training and equipment to equal out Russias substancial superiority in pure numbers and artillery.

However, Ukraine seems to have stopped pushing (at least seemingly so. The fog of war is strong atm). It could either be because Russia finally mobilized enough troops to stop it, but also equally likely that they simply completed their objective (which was to cross the border and take the fight to Russia), and are now bolstering their lines so they can move people down to stop Russia's advance in the south east (where the Ukranian troops are by all reports being incredibly scrappy, barely making due with little resources and men).

At the end of all this, we're likely to see both sides dig in and go back to static warfare for the winter. So tl;dr: not much has changed, except Ukraine have gotten some legit leverage in any potential negotiations with Russia.


And again, you wouldn't be able to provide any solid evidence on "altough at a substancially higher loss", same as weren't regarding sending flight personnel as infantry in Kursk
Agree on the rest of the post though.

Hitler claimed that German speakers in Czechoslovakia were being oppressed. Then he sent paramilitaries into Czechoslovakia to attack Czechoslovak government offices while posing as native German speakers. Then he presented the crackdown as repression and invaded to protect the Germans.

The problem with Russian WW2 history books is that they start in 1941. They don’t include the bit where they armed the Nazis, allied with the Nazis, and started the war fighting alongside the Nazis in breach of their non aggression agreement with Poland.


Your problem as a Nazi supporter is that you whitewash them at every point, and I don't find it reasonable to discuss any related matter after the Nurenberg. The Nazis have been crippled there, Ukraine will be their final grave, you included.

I’m not a Nazi supporter. When Ukrainian Nazis and Russian Nazis fight I cheer for the bullets. I want all the Nazis to kill each other, you want the Russian Nazis to win and rape the Ukrainian children. We are not the same.

upd: and if you want to win a public opinion thing by posting propaganda at each post, you'll end up being a laughstock like @maybenexttime simply because the audience here is accustomed to your propaganda and almost haven't seen the other side

For example, yesterday's news: here a not-so-loyal Odessite says on video that he's just been ass-raped by AFU soldiers, and he's loyalty has grown such that he's also joining the army: https://t.me/truexanewsua/96794 (this is a mainstream UA newssource). Is that the acclaimed NATO army standarts?

a_ch you live in a completely alternative reality that its just impossible to even talk to. You simply say that ukraine does everything the russians do. Thats not true and ridicolous. Has ukraine hit 200 hospitals like russia? No, have they targetted supermarkets, no they havent. The list goes on for every single point, it didn't happen. Russia ignores geneva convention so they can hit hospitals, torture civilians, execute pows and much more exciting benifits. Compare ukrainian pows to russian pows when they trade, ukrainian pows look like skeletons and russian pows are still fat.

Ukraine would quickly lose western support if they behaved as barbaric as the russians do, yet you live in an alternative reality where ukraine does all these barbaric things russians do.

Nazis have a strong track record at killing Russians. If you have a bunch of fascist Russians raping their way through Ukraine and you have some Ukrainian Nazis who want to fight them then I’m not going to go out of my way to protect the Nazis from harm. They should be on the front lines. They should be clearing mines.

I've just posted a videolink with 25 killed in Donetsk due to Ukraine shelling, and that's just a random pick. You blind or what?

You are being consistently fed a narrative which is beneficial to the Western side, and you are unable to see how faulty the picture is

>>You simply say that ukraine does everything the russians do. Thats not true and ridicolous.

I admit you're doing right conclusions. Let me repeat:

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW A LOW-QUALITY PROPAGANDA IS CONSTRUCTED - YOU TAKE EVERY BAD THING YOU SEE AROUND YOU AND BLAME IT ON THE OPPONENT

At least zeo would be either "honest" or "quiet" about being happy that hospitals are targetted, supermarkets targetted, kids dying in these strikes, because he belivies ukraine should "pay". a_ch instead just says "no but actually ukraine does this all the time, i totaly have evidence of all the atacms strikes on supermarkets and hospitals but i wont show pictures, ukraine probably atacms 200+ hospitals like russia did even though it breaks geneva convention which ukraine follows and russia ignored because geneva = west = bad"

Russia does so much heinous shit that it just overwhelms the system its like oh a hospital hit, oh a supermarket, oh a high rise building, oh they behead ukrainian pows, oh they light them on fire, oh they die in captivity from starvation, the list just goes on and on. Like criticize just one thing doesnt do justice at all, it can be summed up as fuck russia, fuck their barbaric army, hope they lose the war badly and go back to their poor shithole country and get so broken that they dont invade another country anytime soon or ever again.

Yeah, it was a stiff competition between two allies who will be worse:
Polish Operation of the NKVD
It resulted in the sentencing of 139,835 people, and summary executions of 111,091 Poles living in or near the Soviet Union


Soviet repressions of Polish citizens
500,000 Polish nationals imprisoned before June 1941 (90% male)
22,000 Polish military personnel and officials killed in the Katyn massacre alone
320,000 Poles deported to Siberia in 1939-1941
100,000 women raped during the Soviet counter-offensive (est.)
150,000 killed by the Soviets

I think it’s useful to have a Russian around so that we can remember why we need to keep sending Ukraine weapons. Though he may not personally receive a delivery of 180,000 tungsten balls he is representative of a popular attitude in Russia. It’s a problem best treated with tungsten. When sufficient tungsten has been delivered to the necessary recipients we may have peace with the more reasonable Russians.

To the last Ukrainian!

They’d fight on with sticks if all they had was sticks. They know what it is like to live under Russian rule. If they’d rather fight to the last Ukrainian than live under Russian rule then that is their right. I do see why the dignity in their struggle is alien to you though.

In any event, they don’t have to fight with sticks.

If they want to come for the land and the homes of the Donbass and Crimean people with sticks or whatever you want to give them then keep pushing them to do just that. Maybe when the sufficient amount have been sent we may have peace with the more reasonable Kievites left.

The Donbas was at peace until Russia invaded it.

Ukraine was at peace until the Obama administration sought to overthrow the democratically elected president of Ukraine in a violent coup spearheaded by neonazis thugs. The resulting kakistocracy in Kiev tore the country apart by actively and violently suppressing the 50% of the country that didn't accept the illegal coup. Crimea and the Donbass rightly took it upon themselves to bring back the rule of law from the new illegitimate government in Kiev.

The peace ended when Avakov acting as the interior minister in April 2014 declared his 48h anti-terrorist operation. Well, its been almost 3800 days since then so things didn't really turn out how the unelected government planned


Zelensky was making comedy shows in 2014, what are you even talking about? He was elected by 90% of Donbass voters on the Ukrainian side (the Russian side of Donbass didn't vote in the Ukrainian election)

What? Where are you getting this from? Here are the results of the last Presidential, Parliamentary and local elections:

2019 Presidential elections first round:

[image loading]

Yuri Boyko the Opposition Platform candidate, the 'lets get along with Russia no need for war' candidate won (in the Donbas regions) but voter turnout is low (in the 30s) because most of the people there opted out of Ukrainian politics altogether and wont take part in it.

2019 Presidential elections second round:

[image loading]

Maybe you were thinking about this result. Zelenskys opponent is litterally the guy that oversaw the War in the Donbass. The most hated person in the Russian speaking half of Ukraine of course Zelensky who was preaching peace would dominate him. And he did, because everyone hates Poroshenko.

2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election

[image loading]

Again, notice anything about the Donbass region? Maybe the Opposition Platform taking all of the seats in the region? Maybe the same party becoming the second largest in the Ukrainian parliament?

2020 local elections in Ukraine:

[image loading]

And I quote from Wikipedia: Summary of 2020 local elections - combined results of all oblast (province) councils' elections, raion (district) councils' elections in Donetsk' and Luhansk Oblast and the Kyiv City Council elections. Red and orange denote oblasts (and Kyiv as the city with special status) where pro-Ukrainian and pro-West parties got the most seats, blue and light blue denote oblasts where pro-Russian and euro-sceptical parties got the most seats. Green denotes oblasts where pro-Ukrainian/pro-West and pro-Russian/euro-sceptical parties got the same amount of seats.

The current status is that Ukraine have pushed into Kursk, but in doing so have thinned out their lines in the southeast, allowing Russia to push further into Ukraine with about the same amount (altough at a substancially higher loss). Moving the lines, even if the gains and losses of pure territory ends up being the same, is very beneficial for Ukraine, as that allows their superior training and equipment to equal out Russias substancial superiority in pure numbers and artillery.

However, Ukraine seems to have stopped pushing (at least seemingly so. The fog of war is strong atm). It could either be because Russia finally mobilized enough troops to stop it, but also equally likely that they simply completed their objective (which was to cross the border and take the fight to Russia), and are now bolstering their lines so they can move people down to stop Russia's advance in the south east (where the Ukranian troops are by all reports being incredibly scrappy, barely making due with little resources and men).

At the end of all this, we're likely to see both sides dig in and go back to static warfare for the winter. So tl;dr: not much has changed, except Ukraine have gotten some legit leverage in any potential negotiations with Russia.


And again, you wouldn't be able to provide any solid evidence on "altough at a substancially higher loss", same as weren't regarding sending flight personnel as infantry in Kursk
Agree on the rest of the post though.


Yeah no, absolutely not. Every time I spend time digging for sources and evidence, it's denied or I'm flat out ghosted. I am not going to provide you with my time trying to disprove your conspiracy theories or other bullshit that you can look up yourself. Like I said earlier, it takes a disproportional amount of time entertaining bullshit and disproving it, than it takes to throw it out there to begin with. The only winning move is to not entertain the disingenuous discussions, so that's what I'm going to do.

I will provide the source/articles that promotes a discussion, and then you're free to sit there inside your own bubble, yell at clouds, and disbelieve it. I don't care
