>The chances of the Russian tyrant launching a nuclear strike are receding as it is likely people would refuse to carry out his order.
>That’s according to expert and investigative journalist Christo Grozev, who suggests Putin is losing his grip on power.
>He says leading officials are unlikely to obey Putin’s commands to launch nukes as they don’t trust he will still be in power in three months time.
>‘I think that it is the informed elite within the security forces who understand that the war is lost,’ Grozev told Radio Liberty.
>He said Putin’s inner circle understand the president would need a full mass mobilisation to win the war, but this would cause a ‘social explosion’ in Russia.
>Some hardliners may pressure for use of nuclear or chemical weapons, Grozev warned.

>The journalist said senior figures from the FSB security agency and the GRU military intelligence organisation are preparing for life after Putin.
>He said the ‘FSB elite’ knows exactly how many Russian troops have died in Ukraine and knows that the loved ones of the dead or missing ‘do not stop asking questions’.
>‘They know that this situation will eventually get out of hand,’ Grozev added.
Give it to me straight, how's the prospect of recovering Ukraine after the war looking right now? I'm definitely planning to stay here and do my part, but to be honest I'm getting rather demoralized with the news of the world seemingly heading towards the biggest recession in years, and potentially even more serious crises - the world will have enough shit on its plate even without having to fix a country massively razed by war. What potential pessimistic/realistic/optimistic outcomes do you guys see for us here?

>no... sisters... not like this!!! what happened to our heckin epic nazis??? you told me we were winning!!!!!!!!!!!
No one said that. We said they fought well which triggered you commies
Liam Adams
Arguably less embarrassing than you parading around Russia's homosexual tendencies.
The problem with most "Eurasianist" theories is that they end up being too much Asia and not enough Europe.
Aaron Price
>only before God No. Before King as well. Also, that knightly armour could be better. Also, fully armoured knights generally didn't used shields, especially this big. Going with a crusader knight would have been a better idea.
Shits fucked. Russia ruined everything like mongoloid barbarians that they are.
I just hope that this time they actually get fucked. Their shit flinging needs to be put to an end even if it means a complete destruciton of entire northern hemisphere.
I would rather have a nuclear war than have these monkeys continue living on this planet. Death to every Russian
Serbs suck your dick. I hate you for everything. It's bad enough you screwed Germany Austria Slovenia etc with ww2 but you celebrate our destruction every single year.
I want a payback this time. I want to enter Russia and burn down Russian homes, rape Russian women and celebrate your slaughter in a victory parade.
I think best case is the next 4 years are going to be slightly more miserable than usual but slowly get better, like the marshall plan. worst case is insurrections in africa spill over to north africa and arabia leading to another oil crisis or other rare commodity crisis, meaning less money would go to ukraine, probably extending it to way more than 4 years of misery. I hate to say it but africas stability is of massive importance for europe being able to help ukraine, another refugee crisis is not something anyone want
Ryder Nelson
It's Russian imperialism. Something that all European countries reject and few Asian countries tolerate (their other option is gravitating towards China which is already happening). The main goal was to make Russia a major decision maker regarding European order and a third global power equal to USA or at least equal to China. Which is why a lot of propaganda pics show personifications of China and Russia as equal partners which is a distant fantasy now.
Hunter Thompson
Wasn't he talking about supplies and not missiles specifically?
Isaiah Carter
Not really. I mean like I said before. Anything I say, I mean it to be solved. I.e. by you hijacking the Z army and joining Ukraine. Like I posted before.
I don't know how it would have to work in practice.
Juan Rivera
I want this to be true saudibro, but I somehow suspect its all fake, they are truly caught in a mass hysteria, and will stop at nothing to save face.
Angel Brown
Many, many crises are coming. Famine, fuel shortages, hyperinflations, pandemics, etc.... we heard it all before, but to cut a long story short: the time since 1945 has been a historically atypical period wherein one power secured all global trade, namely the US with its navy. This has been the main reason for the global population explosion, and this system is going away. I'll let you make whatever inferences you wish to make from that.
Ryder Powell
That figure was based on something like 'what Russia had initially allocated for the war'. Obviously, allocations changed
Colton Williams
How will sucking Chink cock solve your problems with niggers?
Nah, you'll be fine. Everyone's heard of Ukraine now, you'll go the route of Poland with massive yearly GDP rises, Poland was even more ravaged by years of war and various occupations, its fine now. I'll come over to the Carpathians on holiday come time, so don't chop down all the old-growth forests like you where before all of this. They will be a goldmine in forest holidays.
Jace Cooper
rebuilding gives jobs and something to look forward to, i think the world has gotten back to its feet when ukr is done with the foundations for joining the civilised world
Hudson Hill
>Two more weeks! >Russia will win, Putin is just playing 6d chess
Acceptance well done user you've finished the grief chart, first of many such cases
Lucas Sanders
Easy. Chinks are based and redpilled while NATO promotes them.
Remember, NATO stands for "North Atlantic Trans Organization". It was created precisely for that. No, it wasn't created to prevent an Asian communist invasion, that's Western propaganda™.
Owen Evans
I'm actually Finland but something happened to me
Ayden Turner
War creates artificial and unnatural recessions that shouldn't last. Destruction also allows superior things to be build in its place. Look at Western Europe and Japan post WW2 (the places that didn't get fucked by communism).
Charles Stewart
Om May 19. You say two more weeks?
Mason Sanders
If you get ruskie mines out of your fields, steel factories going, mining (with internal workforce) and can keep the profits out of oligarchs hands you guys should be alright. Your country is self-suffient unlike most EU/Russia/Asia/etc. As long as your/global elite won't fuck you up.
Nolan Ortiz
Anything new from our designated sad clown Strelkov?
Well, that was quick. First retards saw russia wasn't going to save them and pleaded guilty with some bad evidence on them, I bet. What are your bets, anons? How many russians will rot serving time in Ukrainian prisons?
