Sorry I shouldn't have phrased it that way.

Getting back to Jezza's editorial, how does the West convince Russia to bargain in good faith?
There isn't going to be an unconditional surrender like WW2, there will be no march on Moscow.

It seems they are more intent on total war now, than they were a couple of weeks ago.

What kind of pressure can be put on Moscow? Sanctions obviously are not working.
They sound more hyped up and bloodthirsty every day.
You shouldn’t have phrased what that way? Or were you just trolling?

Sanctions are a long game and work in conjunction with other tactics. This has only been going on a few weeks.
I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

More effective sanctions and stopping fossil fuel imports.

More weapons and logistic support.

Glad to see they're taking my idea seriously.

I reckon significant progress could be made by next winter if they put some effort in. Show Putin this is yet another area where he's misunderestimated the West's resolve in the face of a crisis.

Sinking all their ships in the Black Sea. Destroying their army. Destroying their Air Force. At least the bits that are in Ukraine. Don’t touch anything not in Ukraine or not threatening Ukraine. Also, refuse to negotiate with Putin. Humiliate the f.cker.

New Russian appointment. This is going to be bad.
Russia has turned to Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, 60, one of Russia’s most experienced military officers and — according to U.S. officials — a general with a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war theaters.

Russians travelling to Kaliningrad see Ukraine War posters.

Russians traveling from the mainland to the enclave of Kaliningrad have to stop in Lithuania.
There, they are greeted by an exhibition showing the realities of the war in Ukraine.
"It's the least that we can do," a spokesperson for Lithuanian Railways said.

The other senior generals commanding chunks of the Russian invasion also reportedly have similar records in Syria. Dvornikov has probably been chosen because he's the most senior general the Russians have deployed, an Army General who outranks the Colonel Generals in charge of the other military districts. This is not to say he won't behave hideously and doesn't have a record of atrocities - it's that the other potential candidates did as well.

This. The one thing that can drive Russia to the negotiating table with reasonable terms is defeat. In the Yom Kippur War, for example, Egypt negotiated because Israel had encircled and trapped the Egyptian 3rd Army.

This is an English translation of the article What should Russia do with Ukraine?, that was published by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti (Russian: РИА Новости).

It's f.cking insane and totally scary. In essence they define as Nazis anyone who is Ukranian that doesn't think of themselves are Russian. Chillingly...
Denazification is necessary when a considerable number of population (very likely most of it) has been subjected to the Nazi regime and engaged into its agenda. That is, when the “good people — bad government” hypothesis does not apply. Recognizing this fact forms the backbone of the denazification policy and all its measures, while the fact itself constitutes its subject.
And...
They supported the Nazi authorities and pandered to them. A just punishment for this part of the population can only be possible through bearing the inevitable hardships of a just war against the Nazi system, waged as carefully and sparingly as possible relates civilians.
And...
Denazification can only be conducted by the winner, which means (1) their unconditional control over the denazification process and (2) the authority that can ensure such control. For this purpose, a country that is being denazified cannot possess sovereignty. The denazifier state, Russia, cannot take a liberal approach towards denazification. The denazifier ideology cannot be challenged by the guilty party that is being denazified.
With a big dose of 'no one appreciates how we've defended western civilisation all these years!',
Russia did everything possible to save the West in the 20th century. It implemented the main Western project that constituted an alternative to capitalism, which defeated the nation-states — the Socialist red project. It crushed German Nazism, a monstrous offspring of the crisis of Western civilization. The last act of Russian altruism was its outstretched hand of friendship, for which it received a monstrous blow in the 1990s.

Everything that Russia has done for the West, it has done at its own expense, by making the greatest sacrifices. The West ultimately rejected all these sacrifices, devalued Russia’s contribution to resolving the Western crisis, and decided to take revenge on Russia for the help that it had selflessly provided. From now on, Russia will follow its own way, not worrying about the fate of the West, relying on another part of its heritage — the leadership in the global process of decolonization.

As part of this process, Russia has a high potential for partnerships and alliances with countries that the West has oppressed for centuries and which are not going to put on its yoke again. Without Russian sacrifice and struggle, these countries would not have been liberated. The denazification of Ukraine is at the same time its decolonization, which the population of Ukraine will have to understand as it begins to free itself from the intoxication, temptation, and dependence of the so-called European choice.

People often criticise Britith mythological portrayals of the second world war - and they should, because such myth-making can quickly go in unpleasant directions. The situation in Russia is substantially worse, and has only worsened in the last couple of decades as Putin has effectively erected a military cult over the memories of struggle and sacrifice.

HansMustermann wrote:You know, as someone who paid attention to history, I find it ironic to blame the Ukrainians as nazis. The Russian rhetoric here seems a mix of the actual Nazis' infamous Generalplan Ost and Commissar Order. Except even those tended to be more hush-hush, the former being circulated only among the SS leadership AFAIK and the latter also including the military leadership.

That such an atrocity would be the public message is unprecedented even by actual Nazi standards.

I mean, seriously, see the interviews for example with one of Goebbels' secretaries. Maintained to her final breath that she actually believed that the Jews -- including a jewish coworker of hers who one day disappeared -- were just being colonized in the Sudetenland and such. I'll grant that that might involve a good dose of wilful ignorance on her part, but still, the point remains that even then under the actual Nazis it was at least POSSIBLE to maintain such a wilful ignorance. They didn't go to great lengths to shove it into your face that, yeah, no, we should kill everyone and deport the rest to Siberia.

The problem with economic sanctions is they hurt the average Russian, while having little effect on the people (or person) who have control. They also cause the population to support the government,causing a feeling of solidarity against external enemies which is already a characteristic of the Russian psyche. Sanctions on the Oligarchs are just, but have little effect on the conduct of the war. I am totally in favour of sanctions which affect war production, whatever they may be.
The Russians who were responsible for Salisbury should face justice, but I am afraid that is impossible. A good secondary response would have been to ban all Oligarchs and Russian money from the UK. Again that will never happen under a capitalistic system.

Indeed, one more reason not to let our emotions get the better of us is that the only way Putin can save himself from his own fiasco is to bait the West into an attack. Nothing would help him more, at home or abroad, than if the United States or any other NATO country were to enter direct hostilities with Russian forces. Putin would then use the conflict to rally his people and threaten conventional and nuclear attacks against NATO. He would become a hero at home, and Ukraine would be forgotten.

Nato have been unable to confirm, as yet.

Many tweets, only one source - the Azov Battalion. Who are good for shooting Russians, bad for everything else.

Lol. Clare Daly reminds me of many "ex-comrades" in the lefty and green movements I used to associate with.
I maybe agree with her about 50%, but those are not my views.
There can be no defending Russia's war, but its not so clear cut how to get out of it.

They seem to be fighting to the last man in Mariupol. I suppose if they surrender they will be killed anyway.
