The sooner Russia leaves Ukraine, the sooner football hooligans can get back to being football hooligans.
And we can all be happy.

Biased, twisted, disgusting propaganda disregarding that the majority in Donesk are ethnic Russians and glorifying bombing them. Shameful

How do you actually know these things ? Are they Russian speakers or ethnic Russians ? And what is an “ethnic Russian” ?
Perhaps some first hand experience and facts would help support your case.
Similarly, if there is something untrue in this account that you know of, please be specific.

Ans do ‘ethnic’Russians’ necessarily want to be part of the Russian state? Might they not prefer to be part of a more Western, democratic state?

As opposed to Russians, who glorify bombing and freezing Ukrainians. And who also torture and kill people for being Ukrainian.
FYI, prime time Russian chat shows now routinely highlight speakers favoring the total annihilation of Ukraine.
But to you, I guess that isn’t “Biased, twisted, disgusting.”

Don’t worry the Russians are winning, just laugh at the neocon propaganda, long on BS but short on facts
Wow Vitalli was a football hooligan with a PHD, now he’s fighting the Russians, and Spurs fans are cool and tough

Come on then, how much longer do the Russians need to keep winning ? You’ve been saying this for months. Shouldn’t it be over by now ?

Its a large country with a large army, the Russians will need to destroy the Leopard tanks and strikers ect that have just arrived, Slovakia sent 13 Mig 29s, they will need to be shoot down, it takes time

Since the Ukraine ran out of S-300 missiles, the Russians are now dropping 1.5+ton bombs on Ukrainian positions, that will speed things up a little. hard luck Vitalli and co

You want an exact date to the end of the war, and if I can’t give you one, then I must be wrong, that is just the weakest argument I have ever heard
No one knows when this war will end

Not an exact date of course. Your current forecast. Then what we do is plot each of your forecast end dates (Y) on a graph against the current date (X).
And you know what we’ll see ? Your forecast will slip by at least one day per day.
You’re “Russia is winning” thesis is ludicrous. Lost the day they invaded on Feb 18th 2022. Super-major blunder. You’ll see it eventually.

Please enlighten us: what exactly is the definitive definition of and practical test for an “ethnic Russian”.
Some of us are a little confused. Putin seems to think that Ukraine is really Russia and Ukrainians are really Russians. I’m sure he said that recently. And I guess you don’t believe he just makes this stuff up on the cuff. But clearly you don’t believe the same as him if Zelensky doesn’t make the cut.

Zelensky is Jewish, if he gets out of this alive, he will end up back in his own country, Israel. He already has a passport
