Civil war in Ukraine

[pmaitra]

So, Sergei Lavrov (or someone from Kremlin) was correct when he said that it wasn't enough to feed cookies. Ukraine is realizing who the real benefactor of Ukraine, so far, has been.

Oh, the all so perfunctory British Brainwashing Corporation is no longer harping on, to all those who would bother take it seriously, about the "wealthy" G7 nations. The emphasis should be on the "wealthy" part. There is not a penny coming out as aid to Ukraine, or is there? Sorry, a loan is not aid.

The "war" is moving in the direction of Russian position. Kiev is NOT making progress. It is trying hard, no doubts there, but no progress. Winter in the trenches will not be beautiful for Kiev soldiers.

Russia seems to be in no hurry despite the sanctions. The battle of wits is on.

Crimea is being supplied with food and fuel from the sea. Lack of land bridge has not affected Crimea so far.

The decision point for Kiev is rolling in fast.

It seems Crimea has stocked natural gas; and Kiev is allowing commerce to Crimea.

Your information is almost always wrong.

In Soviet times was a joke: "If the fridge is empty, connect it to the radio-outlet and it will instantly be filled with products".

Putin uses exactly same methods and tactics in Ukraine, than Stalin used in Finland 75 years ago.

Did Stalin succeed? I believe Finland, having lost, agreed to cede the territory originally demanded by the Soviet Union.

Does Ukraine have a Marshal C. G. E. Mannerheim?

We gave 10% of land (and temporarily swastika ), not our independence. Baltic countries let Red Army in without a fight and rest is history. They together with eastern Europe were plunged to darkness of socialistic system for almost 50 years. Our standard of living is much higher than in Russia, so we won.

It is difficult for Ukraine. They have been part of Soviet/Russian system for so long. It takes time to break free. I believe it will happen, hopefully peacefully. I have not seen a sign of Ukrainian Mannerheim. Maybe @Akim has?

You 'sold' your land for peace.

That is hardly a win.

We sold 10 per cent of our country for a nation of 300 000 000 when they attacked with 1 Million, loosing 500 000 in casualties. We were a country of 3,5 million. We were not a country of 300 000 000 who sold whole of their country when 50 000 colonialists knocked the door.
