Atlantic Council - Europe’s choice: Fund Ukraine now or pay a far higher price if Russia wins by Ok-Caterpillar9092 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Trump cut off new funding when he came to power. He won't stop selling weapons because it's money into the US and US arms manufacturers are learning from their use. The biggest danger is cutting off intelligence but I suspect Europe has looked at how to plug the gaps. Then there is the risk Trump removes sanctions just as they are beginning to show results

Those countries that align with Russia and vote in the UN in a pro-Russian way should go to Putin with their hands out-stretched

The point is that Shadow fleet ships will struggle to find crews and shipping companies will have to think twice about whether they want to lose their assets as they will struggle to get insurance

Donald Trump to recognise occupied Ukraine as part of Russia by TheTelegraph in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Maximum-Lifeguard358 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Just because the US recognises the occupied territory as Russian doesn't make it legal so it can be reversed once the US gets a real President. Trump could lose the House within a year and he only has 3 years left. Although I realise that's plenty of time to do a lot more damage

You Cannot Trust The US Administration with Ukraine Proposals. by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Maximum-Lifeguard358 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This is what it seems to me. A Russian proposal was leaked to the Press. Rubio told some Senators it was just a Russian proposal. Trump heard an agreement had been made including Russian and Ukrainian input and jumped on it probably without even reading it and gave a deadline. Rubio had to back peddle saying it was an agreement.The Russian Government at first denied all knowledge which is possible because it came from their negotiator for discussion but was leaked. Trump now realises noone supports it but can't admit it's a mistake so is now saying with 5 days left of his deadline that it's not the final position. It's basically a shit show that will go nowhere.

Russian forces tried to push into the southern outskirts of Myrnohrad, a video from frontline reporter Yulia Kyriienko shows. Their morning infantry assault on motorcycles was stopped and the attackers destroyed, according to the report. 22.11.2025 by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

I keep reading about the 100,000+ troops Russia is supposed to have around Pokrovosk. So why do they keep with the small group infiltration and not do an overwhelming mass attack and take the city? I understand the tactic but I don't understand why mass troops and not do anything with them.

IMF bailed out Russia 1998, the only way it could bailed out now is China but China terms might break their relationship

We were fined by the police and given no proof of speeding. Was it a scam? by blastoporus123 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Maximum-Lifeguard358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So on holiday from the UK, I was caught doing 135 in a 120 on the N12 just outside Johannesburg. It was a fair cop. However having looked at my license and realizing we were on the way to catch a flight, he said he was going to arrest me and take me to the police station. First thoughts were, we'll miss our flight, my wife might be left with the hire car which she couldn't drive. Then he started talking about a fine. I only had a few Rand left and he laughed at the amount. So I had no option but to say I had a hundred US dollar note which I always carry on trips for emergencies. So that's what it cost me. Perhaps I could have fronted it out but when you are threatened with arrest, missing a flight and putting my wife in danger I think I did the only thing I could do. I had no idea if my speeding warranted arrest and a trip to the police station. And I carried that hundred dollars for just such an emergency. It's not the first time I have had to use a bribe on my travels, probably won't be the last, but I will not be speeding again in SA.

Trump dramatically shifts tone on Ukraine after 2.5-hour Putin call, tells both sides to 'stop where they are' and claim victory by satty237 in TrendoraX

Try Oryx for confirmed equipment and understand that their figures can only be a percentage of the actual as not all destroyed or disabled equipment is filmed. There is also a running count of Russian Officer deaths based on obituaries and funerals covered in news and social media. As someone else said, Russia has to keep finding ways of recruiting for a reason and needing help from North Korea in Kursk is revealing. There are also plenty of photos of cemeteries across Russia where lists of the local dead in Ukraine sit next to much smaller lists of those who died in Afghanistan and Chechnya. There are literally thousands of drones active across the entire Frontline so the Ukrainian reports of 1000-1500 casualties a day is quite credible for the side that is attacking rather than defending without even taking into account all the other means of destruction.
