My predictions is that Putin gets what he has alongside rest of Donbass (around 20% of Ukraine) and does not go further. Keep in mind Russians want Odessa and basically half the country. So that would be a compromise from Putin side. Zelensky obviously wants it all and will loose 20% instead of half. That would be the compromise. Also no Ukraine in NATO but security guarantees. Another compromise. Any predictions?

With online dating on top of going out it is doable if you are very good.

How do you see the war ending realistically?

@Hatfort The amount of anti Russian propaganda I see regarding the Rubble is insane. Since 2021 there has been maybe a 30% devaluation. Other currencies like the Egyptian pound have had a 300 to 400% devaluation yet nobody says it is collapsing. Pure bias.

Israel does not care about truth nor human rights yet USA treats it like its son. Does not seem like a convincing argument to me.

Where in Ukraine do you live? Unless there is a high chance of the front coming to where you live, I would stick it out for a bit longer. Trump will come to office, and there is a good chance it will lead to the war ending or at least a long ceasefire. Perhaps you can leave then. If you held on for 3 years you can handle a few more months.

Why is the West so obsessed with destroying Russia? Why not collaborate together against China for example? The West is ally with Saudi Arabia, so they got no issues allying themselves with dictators, it is not a question of democracy or not. Seems like there is some deep rooted anti Russian sentiment that spans centuries. Otherwise they could have made Russia an ally of the West long before this war became a thing.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2exvx944o So what will happen now I wonder? I made a similar thread in May when the prosecutor wanted the arrest warrants and now it is an official thing. Do you guys think it will hurt Israel international standing, its trade deals and overall reputation? I personally doubt they will ever be arrested since they are not forced to travel to the countries which actually have signed the treaty. Neither has the US.

Perhaps Western countries, especially European ones will distance themselves further given that Israel is officially ruled by a war criminal. Could perhaps lead to further isolation for Israel? Not to mention an awful PR for them. It is wrong to conflate Israel with Russia. Russia main allies are not countries that have signed the ICC treaty. Iran, North Korea, China to be exact. Meanwhile except the US, all Israeli allies have signed it. Germany, UK, France for example.

Biden seems to be going all out before leaving office. What do you guys here think Russia will do?

RFK JR seems quite jacked though.

I agree. It is because the general opinion is that most Israelis support the massacres in Gaza and they all serve in the IDF (hence potential war criminal). Only way for Israelis not to be so hated is to start protesting against the government about its atrocities in Gaza. Otherwise they will continue to be hated and discriminated. It is collective punishment in a way.

Hello So I am not American and do not know exactly how it works there. I saw that Trump won the popular vote, won 270 seats and also won both Senate and the House of Representatives. Also on top, he has some Supreme court judges which he appointed back in the day. What does this mean for the US? I know that in order to pass legislation, you need both houses to agree but he has both now under republicans. Does this give him power to pass legislation that he could not before? Is the Supreme Court the only body that checks him? Can he somehow corrupt that too? I know many here were against him becoming President, but I did not expect him to win everything. How will this play out? Also, so far what you think of the people he has appointed? I saw he put RFK Jr as minister of health or something.

@Fearey What about the supreme court? And anyone know this guy? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c937ndxvkggo

The Second Chechen war which lead to Russia fully annex Chechnya back into Russia after it had gained its temporary independence after winning the first Chechen war, was caused by a series of bombings in Russian apartment buildings. Up to 600 Russians were killed. These attacks were blamed on Chechen terrorists and it gave Russia the necessary excuse to go invade again. Although never confirmed, there is a lot of evidence that it was an inside job done by the Russian secret service. If Russia can do this, so can Israel. In the case of Israel perhaps they let them invade them on purpose by lowering their guard then made the situation worse by using their Hannibel doctrime (confirmed by Haerz) Personally I do not have an opinion whether Israel let it happen intentionally but I would not be suprised if they did. Especially their current fascist government with Bibi on top.

Do most Israelis support the settlements? What would you say is the proportion on Israel that supports it?

You already have Israel with 1968 borders. Also you now want part of South Lebanon. Greed is bad. I doubt you live as a second class citizen in 1968 Israel so... Issue with you is that you treat all the Arab Muslim states as 1 entity when in reality they are different countries with different governments, borders, leaders etc. So you cannot say "All Palestinians should just go to Jordan or Egypt, same shit". No, no, no. Palestinians will stay in Palestine, it is their country. Therefore, the question is how to split the land fairly. 1948 UN which created Israel gave the split, which is now even more favourable to Israel with the 1968 borders. Whole reason Israel exists, as Macron said, is because of the UN. Therefore it is quite shameless for you guys to not care about the UN and ignore it. If it was not for the UN, Israel would not exist as a state. Just because Jews lived there 2000 years ago, it does not give them claims to the whole area, they need to share it with those that were living there for many centuries before 1948. And Jewish people did not originate from that area. Jewish people biologically, alongside all other humans came from Africa, afterwards they moved around and one of the places where they lived for a while was the area from the Jordanian river to the Medeterrainian sea. It was 1 of the stops in their long journey since their origin in Africa. Same is applied for the Palestinians too.

What does "Borat character" mean? Sorry I am unfamiliar with that term

Mossad Agent openly threatening Western politicians that they will "fall" if they stop supporting Israel (starts minute 38 of the video). When Cenk pushes him on the issue, he remains silent and gives a half ass answer. @Leo Gura

I know countless people from Turkey, it is not THAT repressive. They jail you if you are involved with specific types of journalism but they do not kill people for protesting. The opposition party in Turkey almost won the elections last year, so calling it a dictatorship is too far fetched. In a dictatorship you have 1 guy earning 90% of the votes like Putin does. Even Lebanon is relatively chill country for the most part. I guess in the south if you denounce Hezbollah you can get in trouble but it is complicated. Only in Iran would you be killed for protesting and nobody will burn you alive, more like hanging or shooting you. And even that is rare. So please stop with the racist propaganda. And as a bonus, this is what happened last time people in Gaza gathered in a protest to try to peacefully solve their situation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2019_Gaza_border_protests This is what a Palestinian gets for protesting against Israel in Greater Israel

https://www.instagram.com/emilyintelaviv/?hl=en Are you guys familiar with this person? I have seen her at Piers Morgan show a few times, found her a massive liar and then went through her instagram to research. I am genuinely baffled how someone that never went through any hardships in their life can be so full of hate and evil. 90% of what she says regarding this conflict is propaganda. And she seems to believe it herself.

If they freeze the lines of conflict and end the war with the land each has, you think Russia will call it quits?

He was a bad guy is what I mean.
