Surrender at Mariupol

[basketcase]

You're bad at history. At no point in the Battle of Britain did Germany occupy and/or control any part of Britain. It was a failed invasion attempt. They never gained air supremacy, so they never landed.

And they didn't 'win' the war with their spitfires and hurricanes. They did win a battle by holding off the Nazi air force.

You seem to understand who the Ukrainians are dealing with. How then do you expect Putin to back down from Russian occupation of Ukraine for any reason other than a threat of being deposed? The oligarchs do not care about the loss of Russian soldier lives. They do care about the cratering of the value of their business assets.


Ukraine had lots of problems BEFORE Russian invasion. It had it's own oligarchs and corruption. My own theory is that Zelenskyy's ostensible campaign to clean things up prompted UKRAINIAN oligarchs to co-ordinate with Putin to make this invasion happen.

They have anti Russian and Pro Russian oligarchs. Same as Russia. Just like the USA has GOP and Dem Oligarchs.

Yes off course that’s them trying to bump their own popularity among the electorate.
And we have democracy here and freedom! Like with vaccine passports are still a must to travel wherever we are used to, but Trudeau said that Ukrainians can enter and leave Canada whenever they want without any vaccines.!

Best of all is that there will be no more fucking Russkies bringing their brutal attitudes to Canada!

Thats an interesting thought.
