Agree, but literally like every fecking thing Putin does, it only works against his goals and weakens Russia. In a strategic sense, all they've done today is waste ~100 expensive, difficult to replace missiles and strengthened Ukrainian and worldwide resolve against Russian aggression.
"Russian commissioner for human rights"!!!
Right.
White is black. Black is white.
These guys will soon say that this war started because Ukraine, a terrorist state, attacked Russia.
Here is the main reason for the constant threats of nuclear war: The standard negotiation tactic of the soviet union, and the fact that the West always had people who are willing to offer them something.
The West should demand Kaliningrad! Right now!
Plus full reparations for Ukraine.

Why do I get a bad feeling he’s going to launch a nuke on Russian soil to try and end this war.
Almost a threat to the world to combat the belief he doesn’t have the balls to do it.

Because Russia is running a propaganda campaign to scare you into thinking they will launch a nuke.
Kaliningrad is Czech mate.
The West isn't a country.
Which country should baselessly claim Kalingrad, and what do you want to achieve by that?
Freedonia and because Rufus T. Firefly said so.

I am going to guess 5 people on the Caf get this reference.
We are on Marxcafe, after all.
So... do they not know what chairs are on Russian state TV?
''We stand for Russia''
Well done!
Kant’s (famous Russian ***********) dead body also comes with the territory. Czechia has already announced the annexation though.
What?
An imperialistic joke.
Ah gotcha. Apologies!
There's this joke I think is pretty good, but doesn't really work as text.
A *********** was on the subway, drinking a beer. A cop noticed him, and let him know it was not allowed. "Come on", the *********** said, "it's fine, I'm not hurting anyone". "No, but imagine if everyone were drinking on the subway, it would be chaos". The *********** began losing his patience, and replied "Who do you think you are, fecking Kant?" He was arrested.
You need to pronounce Kant in a certain way.
So on some telegram channel info appeared NATO will attack Belarus. Sounds like bs and even if true what would possible be the sane reason behind something like that.
Lukashenko was talking about Poland potentially attacking Belarus, probably they refer to that.
And there is a sane reason behind that, Lukashenko doesn't want to go to war so he uses this claim to say "sorry Putin, can't go to Ukraine I've got a border to defend"
Yeah I meant if he doesnt want to go to war and he's having a classic hold me hold me tactics, there isnt a reason to attack them. And who knows what would be a Russian response to that, they're basically a Russian region.
Lukashenko is a slimy, slippery operator. He’s going to outlive Putin as president I bet.
I'm quite sure he will. I'm just wondering if he will align with the West or with a new Russian government when the time has come.
I don't think he'll be able to align with the West after what he did to supress the protests 2 years ago.
Who cares? History shows that geostrategic interests are much more important than human rights etc. If Lukashenko should manage to play a role in bringing peace to Ukraine he could have a chance.
I'm not sure why I keep trying to find any logic there but what a masterful example of a logical fallacy.
I think this entire conflict shows that you shouldn't make deals with authoritarian dictators for a momentary convenience. Lukashenko's arms are covered in blood of thousands of people.
Lviv hit by three explosions again.
Belarusians probably care quite a lot. If it wasn't for Putin's support in suppressing protests in 2020, I think he would already be gone.
Interested to hear their response if any of them were conscripted
Love the why do we need Europe part.

"What have the Euromans ever done for us?"
Whatever the result of this war is, bringing back Russia to something resembling of a West-friendly society is something that will take at least decades.
I hope we get good news from Kherson and/or Kreminna soon.
Yeah, no news whats happening on the front these 2 days or so it seems.
Which isn't surprising. Offensives result in a lot of casualties, so Ukraine needs to resupply and refresh their troops. Also it is quite clear that Ukraine grinds down logistics and artillery first before than moving into a space that the Russians can't properly resupply and support. So we will likely see quiet periods where Ukraine hold positions and slowly strikes deep interchanging with actual offensive Operations.
Yeah, makes sense.
