Forums - Politics Discussion - Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

Putin says they will fight until the last Ukrainian will stand and that's because of the West who support them so that they don't just obey to him. Guy from Duma talking about taking Alaska back. Putin saying they didn't even start and he seems to think that fighting some more years is ok even if Russia will also lose hundred thousands of people fighting for Russia.

These guys are truly insane.

I wonder what kind of tactic it is to threaten USA with Alaska or now like the whole of Europe with going to Berlin? It's as if they ask to get destroyed just to say "see, we knew NATO will fight against us and they always just lied"

Part of me wonder if some Russian ultra-nationalists would bring this sort of thing up. I don't remember Russian being Alaskan natives don't see how it is ancestral land of theirs. I'd say it just tough talk as the prospect of invading the US is laughable.

Now for someone to laugh at.

Working as pawn of a Christian nations is defending Islam? And seriously, without being part of Russia, Chechnya forces would get slaughtered by Ukraine, let alone Germany.



Worst thing about the Alaska thing is that it is not like the US took it by war or seized it illegally. Russia sold it to the US by their own choice. They didn't let the UK seize it and got a sizeable amount of cash to fight their wars in Europe. If they didn't do that, who knows how history would have gone down.

Well, here in Brazil, our president choose to not manifest himself about the war. According to him and his supporters, Brazil needs Russia, so if he sides with Ukraine, we may have trouble.

Do you think Lula will be able to beat Bolsonaro?

It will be very difficult for Bolsonaro to win, since a lot of his followers gave up on him.

Lula will probably win. I don't think he is the best option, since... Well, he is corrupt as heck.

I’m not Brazilian but Lula and Bolsonaro seem like two sides of the same coin. I’ve seem some comments from Lula that aren’t exactly supportive of Ukraine.



I've never seen a country being this desperate. This Alaska thing is completely bonkers. This isn't 1812 anymore, the 'Grande Armée' of NATO would be in Moscow knocking on the door of Putin's office within hours.

Bear in mind that it probably isn't a serious suggestion. It doesn;t look like a government organisation who put up the message. Whilst its quite possible the Krelim knew of the billboard before it went up they would have approved only to annoy the US rather that having any concrete plans to attack Alaska.

Yeah it isn't serious and it isn't anything new either. There has always been some Duma assholes like Zirinovski saying stuff like Russia should invade Finland etc. It just didn't make the news before lol. Obviously they have no intention to attack Alaska. It would be a next-level suicide by cop though :D
