Russia & Nazis by captaincrunch

Great post G. Now brace yourself. Signym is preparing a twenty page brief for her response to your post, your thread. Not to worry. If she posts a large diatribe I'll cut and past it in her gardens thread. She hates when I do that, and I do do that.

There is a strong and violent Nazi element in Ukraine (local militia, "national guard", internal security, Azov Battalion) that has an effective stranglehold on government officials.

As Western intelligence showed that Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine, Mr. Putin declared Ukraine an American colony with a “puppet regime” and denied that he planned an invasion.

In the United States, Mr. Tucker Carlson (FOX News) also called Ukraine “an obedient puppet of the Biden State Department.”

That's been true since 2014 when we staged a coup on Ukraine's democratically elected President and put the track suit wearing puppet Z in there, Marcos.

Just because Putin says it, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Yup. There is no defense or justification for her Russian fandom other than pretending to be stupid or shameless lying. And she doesn't really care.

You've never watched hostage dramas on TV? Maybe if we called them "hostages" instead of "human shields" you might figure it out?

In Kharkiv’s Rubble, Hatred for Russia Is Strong

Once great admirers and friends, residents have now nothing but contempt and worse for the invaders

“Russian terrorists did this. … And my father is Russian, from Belgorod!” Galina, a 63-year-old cashier, says as she pulls her belongings from the wreckage of what used to be her apartment. As she gestures at the rubble behind her, she tells us, “They dumped an enormous bomb from a plane over there, at what used to be our flat.” Galina and her husband, Sergey, also 63, have not left the city because they have nowhere to go. “Anyway, [President Vladimir] Putin’s tentacles are reaching everywhere, even to Lviv,” she says, referring to an airstrike on a volunteer base that killed dozens of soldiers several days ago across the country in western Ukraine. “He has to be stopped. He has to be killed — that is the only way.”

The foundations of half-a-dozen apartments remain, but the front walls have been blown off and most people’s possessions lie on the ground among the smashed stones. It is here that Galina and Sergey rummage through the wreckage trying to salvage what they can. The husks of two cars, now just piles of twisted black metal, lie on the street outside.

Despite the carnage that has been inflicted on the people of Kharkiv, they say that their relatives in Russia refuse to believe that anything untoward has happened to them. The irony, Galina says, is that “Kharkiv is — or at least was — a pro-Russian city! Everyone here speaks Russian and has family over the border.” But now sympathies for Russia have evaporated, replaced with burning hatred. Perhaps unexpectedly, it is here in the Russian-speaking east that you hear the most passionate denunciations of Putin and the Russian attack on Ukraine.

Previously, western Ukraine, with its closer links to central European countries like Poland and Slovakia, where Ukrainian is the dominant language, was the most fiercely anti-Russian part of the country. Yet you could still find people here who would say that they do not blame ordinary Russians for the actions of their government and lay the blame for the war on Putin. You do not hear this anywhere now in the east.

Animosity toward Russia has sharpened among people in the east for two main reasons. First, eastern Ukraine has borne the brunt of the indiscriminate destruction that Putin has unleashed. Kharkiv and Mariupol have suffered brutal and cruel bombardments. The second factor is proximity to Russia — and not just in geographical and cultural terms. For many, this feels like a deep family betrayal, as if it is their siblings and cousins firing the shots. In some cases, it is.

“If you call to Moscow — our friends have relatives there — they don’t believe any of it. A sister was looking at her brother in the hospital over video. Her brother had been wounded, and she would not believe him. She said, ‘You did this to yourself; you are fighting a war among yourselves.’ ”

The other excuse they use is: “ ‘It was the neo-Nazis who did this. Russians are here to liberate you from them,’ ” Galina fumes. “Well, all they’ve done so far is liberate us from our apartments!”

As we walked past a university building in central Kharkiv that had been blown to pieces by a GRAD rocket barrage, a local woman stopped me and pointed to the mess saying, “This was all built by imperial Russia! It’s Russian bombing Russian.”

The Russians have claimed to be striking only military targets. But in our time in Kharkiv, we saw every type of building imaginable in ruins: primary schools, apartment blocks, university residences, hospitals. It seemed that every street we drove down had more damage than the last. The destruction in the center is orders of magnitude higher than that in Kyiv.

Alexei, a 45-year-old retired police commander, was in bed when a rocket struck his apartment block three days ago. The strike came at daybreak, blowing off his unit’s windows and doors. His wife was severely injured and is currently recovering in the hospital, while his infant son suffered light injuries. Alexei showed me a phone video he took shortly after the raid in which he holds his crying son, covered in blood. The air raid siren is ringing in the background.

The locals say that the Russians will often wait until shortly after the morning curfew ends at 6, when everyone goes to line up at supermarkets for supplies. Then, they will unleash their artillery in an attempt to scare the civilian population into submission.

For all the destruction, the mood among Kharkiv residents is surprisingly upbeat. “The first week was awful,” Deva, our driver, says. “Now we are just used to it; this is our lives. If we go more than two days without a big explosion, we think, ‘That is strange, what is going wrong?!’”

When we visited an underground bar that has been transformed into a volunteer center that prepares meals and medicines for soldiers, everyone was smiling and laughing, offering us food and coffee while watching a Premier League football match — Arsenal vs. Aston Villa — on a flatscreen TV. The major adaptation to their lives, they say, comes from sleeping in their tattoo parlor, located underground.

The atmosphere at other volunteer centers, such as those in Odesa and Dnipro, are much more tense, with people constantly asking for our documents and expressing their concern that they could be targeted by rockets. Karkhivites assume that they have seen the worst already. If Putin has not been able to make inroads into the city after a month, there is little reason to expect he will do better soon, they say.

Still the anxiety is palpable. While walking midafternoon with our Ukrainian colleagues, my team and I were accosted by a police officer whose breath stunk of alcohol. He confiscated my phone and camera, and as he pointed his gun at my head, he screamed: “Why do you need to do interviews?! Why do you need to take photos?!” When we explained we were journalists, he did not understand the concept. Thankfully, his colleagues quickly calmed him down and gave me back my possessions.

Many Ukrainians now think that the carnage is not just the result of one group or Russian citizens but that it stems from a deep-rooted way of thinking based on a rosy interpretation of Russian history.

Roksolana Olyarchuk, a 31-year-old from Ternopil who works for the Ukraine Institute promoting national culture abroad, said, “After this, Russia needs to go through a reeducation process. The idea of the Russian imperium, that every child in school is brought up with, needs to be torn out. The idea of Russian superiority — they think that because Russia has some great cultural history, it can impose its will on those around it. Even younger people, Russians of our generation, believe in these ideas. What happened to Germany after the Second World War, when they de-Nazified and rejected the idea of a German empire — this needs to happen to Russia.”

Galina’s aims, for now, are simpler: “All we want is at least to see our granddaughter grow. So that she can grow up in peace and not have to see this horror,” she says, wiping away a tear.

Not crazy, smart.

So far, all of the disruptions in oil and other commodity prices have been due to WESTERN sanctions. All of the disruptions in finances have been due to WESTERN sanctions. Russia had NOT counter sanctioned anything.

Can I help it if we're stupid enough to use all of our ammo shooting ourselves in the door?

But since THE WEST initiated a full-on assault on the ruble by blocking Russian Central Bank foreign assets and making it almost impossible to exchange rubles for dollars, Russia is smart to demand payment in rubles.

This does two things:

It raises the value of the ruble by increasing foreign demand, and

It effectively reduces gas flow to the EU without breaking a single contract by making purchase more difficult.

Sorry if you don't like Russia's response to western sanctions, maybe bc you perceive it to be an effective one.

Uh-huh. " Russia is smart to demand payment in rubles." Sure, shoot yourself in the other foot. They didn't "demand," they requested rubbles because they can't take USD because of sanctions.

"Moscow’s stock exchange is tiny, with a market capitalization of about $773 billion at the end of last year, according to the World Federation of Exchanges. That is dwarfed by the New York Stock Exchange, where the total of all equities is roughly $28 trillion.

The average exposure by a U.S. investor through a mutual fund or retirement account to Russia is exceedingly small, according to Ben Johnson, director of global ETF research at Morningstar.

“If someone is holding a traditional 60% stock, 40% bond portfolio matched to a global index, their exposure to Russia would be roughly 0.02% of their portfolio,” Johnson said. “Russia barely registers.”

The reopening of Russia’s stock market has only minimal economic significance compared with the heavy weight of U.S.-led sanctions. A myriad of U.S., European and Japanese companies have pulled out of the country; there have been bank runs and panic buying of staples like sugar; and Russia’s currency, the ruble, has been beaten down."

Ukrainians accuse Russians of holding hostages in Mariupol hospital

Russian troops were holding civilians captive at a hospital in Mariupol on Tuesday, a Ukrainian official said.

The head of Donetsk’s regional administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said on his official Telegram that doctors and patients were being held against their will in the city’s regional intensive care facility, also known as Hospital Number 2, CNN reported.

“It is impossible to get out of the hospital. They shoot hard, we sit in the basement,” an unnamed hospital employee said, according to Kyrylenko.

“Cars have not been able to drive to the hospital for two days. High-rise buildings around us are burning … the Russians have rushed 400 people from neighboring buildings to our hospital. We can’t leave.”

More importantly now G, are going to be all the stories in the press telling how the Russians are declaring victory. How they are moving their troops and focus to the Donbas area. They are claiming they denazified Ukraine and dismantled the Ukrainian army.

Russian focus on ‘liberating’ Donbas hints at shift in strategy

Ukrainian resistance may mean that Russia is changing its strategy to more limited goals and focusing on Donbas.

Russia has claimed that the first phase of its “military operation” in Ukraine was mostly complete, and that it would focus on completely “liberating” eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.

The announcement on Friday appeared to indicate that Russia may be switching to more limited goals after running into fierce Ukrainian resistance in the first month of the war in Ukraine.

“The main objectives of the first stage of the operation have generally been accomplished,” Sergei Rudskoi, head of the Russian General Staff’s Main Operational Directorate, said.

A Russian Commander Was Killed By His Own Troops, Western Officials Have Revealed

Russian troops killed one of their own commanders due to the losses being suffered during the invasion of Ukraine, Western officials have said.

It is also believed Vladimir Putin has decided to “pause” his attempt to take Kyiv in order to concentrate his forces on the Donbas region in the east of the country.

Russian troops have unexpectedly “found themselves in a hornets’ nest and are suffering really badly”, a Western official said, leading to widespread morale problems.

As the advance falters, Russian soldiers are said to have killed one of their own senior officers.

“We believe he was killed by his own troops deliberately. Indeed we believe he was run over by his own troops,” an official said.

In addition, another Russian general is believed to have been killed by Ukrainian forces, taking the total since the start of the war to seven.

Don't mistake your ignorance for knowledge.

Various non- mainstream analysts have been saying for WEEKS while western press has a laser focus on Kiev, the real fighting is in the southeast- the Donbas. They have been saying for WEEKS that the intention was never to take Kiev, that the only reason to put troops there is to pin down Ukie troops so they can't reinforce the troops in the SE. Every action has been to cut reinforcements and supplies ro the SE, bc that's where Kiev had stationed most of its troops to blitzkrieg the DPR-LPR.

Just bc western press has turned it's attention doesn't mean Russia has, too.

If you don't believe me, just pick any Duran video that discusses the military situation in Ukraine, and you will hear them saying the same thing over and iver- Western press has focused in Kiev, Russia has always focused on the Donbas.

If that was always Putin's plan, Putin is crazy. If they'd done only Donbas from the start this whole thing would have been another Crimea: a quick, easy sprint that would have left the world with a fait accompli it could do little about. And it would have solidified Putin's reputation for military genius instead of turning into a long, grinding war that's done nothing but expose the Russian military as far less capable than anyone imagined, including Putin.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Once again you expose your ignorance. Sorry that you can't be bothered to understand reality.

Quote:
Bloomberg writes further of the Russian commander's surprising words, "Rudskoi claimed Russian troops have surrounded several major cities but deliberately didn’t seek to take them, instead aiming to pin Ukrainian troops down. His comments were the most detailed official accounting of Russian military performance since the Feb. 24 invasion."

Non- mainstream analysts have been saying this for WEEKS. I have posted similar musings and even IIRC a link to a video titled something like "the destruction of armies, not the taking of cities". If you can't find the link in my posts, go to The Duran on YouTube, you will see a video with that kind of title.

Mercouris has been saying that the west doesn't understand Russian military strategy bc it is based on von Clausewitz, which nobody seems to know about.

Various non- mainstream analysts have been saying for WEEKS while western press has a laser focus on Kiev, the real fighting is in the southeast- the Donbas. They have been saying for WEEKS that the intention was never to take Kiev, that the only reason to put troops there is to pin down Ukie troops so they can't reinforce the troops in the SE. Every action has been to cut reinforcements and supplies ro the SE, bc that's where Kiev had stationed most of its troops to blitzkrieg the DPR-LPR.

Just bc western press has turned it's attention doesn't mean Russia has, too.

If you don't believe me, just pick any Duran video that discusses the military situation in Ukraine, and you will hear them saying the same thing over and iver- Western press has focused in Kiev, Russia has always focused on the Donbas.

“We meant to fck up!”

Good one Sigs! All that destruction of war material and soldiers, crash their economy, risk losing the value of their main revenue utility, unite NATO and the West, drive out educated Russians by the tens of thousands… as a feint so they can finally try to take Donbas?!?! Which they already largely control. Damn! That’s really stupid!

Reading comprehension grade: F.

Have Russians ever committed to occupying Ukraine?
No?

Then, what is their "end" goal? It's been repeated often enough. Surely you remember by now!

You're confusing goals (neutralize, de-Nazify) with strategy (destruction of armies).

Jeez, you're both stupid.

And you refuse to learn.

*****

Look at Syria. Russia parses its interests very finely.

They allow Israeli strikes in Iranian and Syrian forces, but not on theirs, even tho they're all "on the same side".

They made extensive use of humanitarian corridors, which functioned as well as the occupying terrorists would let them.

They even allowed surrendering terrorists to leave Aleppo, Ghouta, and other contested cities to decamp with their families to Idlib.

They tolerate Erdogan s behavior until it becomes too egregious, then they whack him over the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

It's not "total war"/total destruction that we've come to expect, but has narrower goals and leaves the standing government intact. Seems as if they don't want to do what the USA does and destroy a nation AND create a power vacuum. I imagine they don't want to create failed states on/near their border, which we (USA) have no problems doing.

I just saw 1970's Mark Hammill in scenes from The Mandalorian.

Nothing in Ukraine you're watching on TV is real.

Nothing is real anymore.

Regarding OP:

Was Trudeau indoctrinated in Russia?

Is that why he kept calling Freedom loving patriotic truckers "Swastikas" all the time, despite no swastikas being present?

I hear reports that today Putin's missile salvos are turning Kiev to rubble.

Are these reports incorrect?
Or why this if Putin's goal is Donbas?

Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but if your goal was a city named Donbas would you tell CNN and FOX News that your goal was a city named Donbas?
