    I met an individual from Canada a few weeks ago, that strongly felt that NATO forced Putin to invade Ukraine, and that carpet bombing cities was ok, because it was Russia's sovereign right to crush Ukraine, because Russia has always owned Ukraine, therefore it ok to keep beating it up. The guy was legitimately Canadian too, the obnoxious shill showed up at a Coffee shop where a group of us were discussing politics. One of those spoiled rich kids who thinks the opposite of whatever the US government says must be true, so vaccines are bad and Putin is good. Those people do exist, and they are very jarring to meet in person, but some of these internet characters are neither paid propagandists or trolls. They are just very, very, very wrong.
    Holy shit, did you run into Ulmita irl?

    Because I lived in England, East Sussex for 6 years. And moved on from there. Some people travel a lot for work or just in general.

    This is all very nice but it doesn't make your persistent shilling for the Kremlin any less odious or any less counterfactual.

    You shouldn't be proving anything on the internet, especially in a thread like this where many are unable to discuss various topics without having a visceral reaction to reading things they don't want to read. Wether anonymous A or B believe you on the internet is meaningless and the exchange of information and opinion are the only things that matter.

    This thread was, untill the last couple of pages, a contaminated no-go zone because half the regular posters can't resist the urge to argue with the only openly pro-Russian guy in the thread. The taunts for you to prove something to absolute strangers are part of the same approach.

    PS. I am flying to Ukraine next week. Might get a chance to see their subway. Knowing guys at Sudnopidyom though, probably will end up in a strip club again. Cause you know, I am Czech, I am supposed to be into these things . Last time I ended up translating for an Indian dude (with a terrible accent) in Mint Rhino.

And I am sure that there is a multitude of companies that deal with specialized equipment like Siprotec 4 relays and security for them. Same goes for accounting. I am sure in the next several months your superior IT industry is going to come up with a substitute for 1C. Yet, somehow I would put my money on an assumption that if I would make a call to our affiliate in Kiev same time next year, they would still tell me that state financial forms can only be submitted with 1C standards electronically or in paper form. All while more and more of your economy is turned from production and actual R&D to India style outsource IT service.
    PS: I have at home an excellent example of waisted potential from your country. A titanium-manganese chemical anode. It is lighter more durable and with comparable conductivity and life expectancy to the most expensive US anodes, while costing a third of a price. Plus it can operate in salty waters, does not produce toxic substances during decomposition, requires little to no maintenance (connector welds still need to be checked every decade or so) and you do not even technically have to dig it up after use compared to iron based anodes (which does cost you extra). The fact that your government forced a closure of its production in Symy (not sure if I spell it correctly) because the owner (ukrainian by the way) has production facilities in Russia and supplied a russian gas company with these anodes speaks volumes. I think you have a saying, somewhere along the lines of "cutting your fruit tree so that your neighbour would not be able to rest in a shade". Or was it from Kuwait. No matter, I think it is applicable in this case.
    So, if you're Ukranian....why did you say you were Czech?

    Were you lying then? Are you lying now? Both?

    Fair point. It does not look like anyone is willing to discuss anything here, being here only for the daily dose of rage and cheerleading for their favorite team (meaning East vs West and so on). Disclosing my identity completely would be stupid at best, possibly suicidal.

    No one is buying what you are selling, tovarisch. You claimed repeatedly years ago to be Czech but in the past month you suddenly started claiming you are Ukrainian, living in Kyiv and rooting for the dictatorship currently BOMBING IT AND TRYING TO KILL YOU IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY IN KYIV.

    Go back to Tsar Vladof Putler and beg him for mercy for failing to successfully peddle his propaganda. Maybe if you are lucky you'll just spend a few years in prison for treason against the Rodina under the new laws Putlers rubber stamps in the Duma passed over the last month.

    Yes this does get me angry because you have been caught in a lie and have repeatedly tried to gaslight everyone here instead while Putler is ordering the deliberate massacre of civilian populations to try and force Ukraine to surrender even though he's at best locked in a stalemate and at worst losing to get the slaughter to stop. Does the fact that he poisoned Ukrainian peace negotiators not bother you in the slightest?!

    And yes, in reality Russia is losing this because the world thought Ukraine would fall in a matter of days to the 'mighty Russian bear' and instead they have held their ground for a month, revealing the Russian military to in reality to be a toothless and clawless bear barely clinging to life with the only thing giving it any strength being its nuclear arsenal. For Russia, anything less than total victory is a humiliating defeat and right now, Russia needs to be humiliated. Ukraine doesn't need to be 'demilitarized', Russia does, because Putler and Putler and his cronies alone started this war.

    Talks are ongoing, Abramovich is there, too xD As per everyone - no progress is expected. Turkey is trying hard to score some political wins, though.

    There is another video of torture and this time brutal execution too of a Russian POW, using knife in the eye. And... the executioner has already been found out via social media.

    So why did you post a picture of it burning...? The burning was done later. How do you know it was not used for target practice before burning but after getting stuck in the mud?

    And yes - avoid posting personal pictures, even ones like you posted.

And, as has been pointed out before ad well, Putin came to power through the use of actual neo-nazi groups, and not pretend ones.

    Now Russia isn't even hiding it any more - they gone full on Nazi with zwastikas, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, the works.
    They do have questionable practices of Ukrainization, though. It has to be noted that they became very accute after the 2014 - I guess that one should not be surprising.

    You forgot to add those are Ukraine's claim without proof - this is war, both sides have skyhigh numbers, it's part of the job for MoD's. There has not been any for at least ~10 days now with the exception of couple of Forpost recon drones and, I think, a cruise missile. We do love the Oryx here, don't we? Not noted there too.

    You don't need to disclose your identity....just asking why you claimed to be Czech then....but claim to be Ukranian now.

    The answers would appear to be one of these:

    a) you were lying then
    b) you are lying now
    c) both a and b

    I am not going to engage in this any further. Dissenting views meet very harsh reactions over here. Most people I know try to delete chats or browsing history in case they visited something they were not supposed to look at, or discussed something they were not supposed to discuss. Opposition, even by a member of parliament ends up like this


    It was foolish of me to try and communicate problems and worries of Ukrainians who do not belong to the chosen nation or ethnicity.

    One thing is for certain. As soon as tree and bush leaves start growing, Russa will lose as it will be even easier to make a ambush. It just needs some rain.
    Right now its kinda hard to make a ambush, but in high grass you can easy hide and shot from pretty much anywhere.

    This is a pretty good source to visualise how the combat is right now:
    Don't sweat the details!!!

    Since it's already established you are no true ukrainian.

    Why are you in Kyiv? Why are you not fleeing, if you don't intend to defend Ukraine? Why are you shilling for russian genocidal rapists and murderers, when internationally verifiable sources give proof that you dismiss with your words on MMO-C?

    You are going to need much more than a picture of ukrainian passport (how can you get one if dual citizenship is illegal in Ukraine? I might be missing out something here) if you literally reside in Kyiv when it's being shelled by your beloved russians, when stories of all kind, with varying levels of proof flooding in from their relentless war crimes. While you claim Russia could end the ukrainian resistance of their main target city with "few clicks of fingers" like you put it, but for some reason, they'd rather lose this entire war for lols.

    I think we can safely establish it here based on your claims with vague pictures with no context, your previous post history from years ago - that you are not posting with good intentions. Still waiting for that proof for ukrainians using their civilians as meat shields, while confirmed russians straight up target civilians, but same time you claimed they are not, because of meat shielding.

One absurd amount for....an ape picture? Someone with that kind of liquidity wouldn't have a Wells Fargo account that would have go through 2 or 3 systems to get the money in the sellers hands, plus holding for 5 days bullshit. It'd be almost instantaneous.

    You can show how many stacks of passports you want it still won't change the fact that you're posting basic russian propaganda trash.

    It's probably bollocks but things could be going the right way as 'Moscow has decided to “fundamentally cut back military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernigiv” in order to “increase mutual trust for future negotiations to agree and sign a peace deal with Ukraine.”'

    They also are getting their ass kicked in that region. They want to secure the Dombass before negociations are over.
