Either way you want to push it, there is no way Russia’s going to come out of this looking like the good guy. Putin has destroyed Russias credibility on the global stage for generations to come.

No one cares.

Who writes it, is the victors.

And last I checked, the “nationalist” Azov or Stepan Bandera “ national guard” is getting wiped.

Go ahead and put your chips on Azov. Let’s see how it goes..

Let’s see.

You’re cheerleading on some dumbf*Cls in NATO that planted a base in KOSOVO SERBIA. Which is part of Serbia long ago forever with Monasteries chiseled in the Mountains.

And you got some old dimbf*cks continuing lurking on Ukraines door steps.

Dumb move and you know it.

The Russian economy is only surviving because it’s become a war time economy. So what happens to Russia’s economy when the war ends and nobody wants to buy there fossil fuels anymore because they’ve all found new sources?

All modern economies need the rest of the world to thrive in the long term… that’s the big flaw in Putins little master plan, what happens once the wars over?

Looks like the French are just looking for an opertunity to enter. Didn't realize how much the French hate the Russians until you start reading their news.

The good news is that is France unilaterally sends troops, when their troops get killed, I don't think that triggers NATO article 5. It's strictly a defensive article. If you voluntarily send your troops into a war, the other NATO members aren't obliged to help. That's why NATO didn't all have to come to Iraq with the US and UK in 2003.

France and Russia are still both nuclear powers though. I've never subscribed to the theory that nuclear powers CAN'T enter into direct military conflict because then it WILL go nuclear. But it could, so not a good idea on France's part.

The video is 17 minutes long and subtitled and very interesting to watch for anyone interested in the reality of the front line.
