Well, that's not strictly true. Most dachas around here have a "backyard", and even a "basement" - except the "backyard" is actually the main yard slash vegetable garden, and the "basement" is more often than not mostly a cellar.

Well, as a proud owner of dacha I would say that only 1% of citizens have it. And I lived there for like 0.01% of my life. My point still valid. Our city/transportation infrastucture is absolutely different to theirs and that's cultural distinction. Blame russian shitty roads.

Prooflink, and math formula, please.

My understanding is that the claim is based on the fact that the Russian Empire conquered it.

Liberated it.

I prefer suing Russia for unlawful actions
Sure thing, Bucko! We'll have this in court right after Afghanistan and Iraq finish suing the USA!
*Imagined Saddam and Taliban suing USA* Nah, no gonna happen

BTW both invasions were legal under international law, both got UNSC approval even if it was a crafty interpretation of resolutions

It is not easy to do, will take quit a lot of time it may be unwise because that kind of nationalization can provoke Russia to do some very nasty thing (Because Russian government will not accept any international court decision here) but I am sure that the case is winnable.

Somehow Russians keep forgetting about Chechya... Those guys had no army at all. And it wasn't easy at all.

My personal opinion is that Russian army is a big pile of crap that would collapse against NATO\Israeli\Japanese\South Korean army real quick
Problem is that Ukrainian army is even worse than Russian....

Eh, If only Russian myths about American private military companies in Ukraine was true :(

Somehow you forgot about thing called mountain guerilla warfare. I can name one nation which happen to tried to tackle same obstacle. But you are to young to comprehend.

Your assurance that spetz natz are more than just a better trained units is unrealistic and naive.

I have seen videos of the spetz natz, and they look absolutely ridiculous, in a comical bad way. head punching bricks, breaking sticks on each other bellies, making flip flops. really stupid shit. those kind of movies typically goes with all kind of terrorist organizations with extremely low fighting abilities.

I have also had friends during my army time who previously served in one of the spetz natz and they weren't special in any way.

Contrary to the propaganda movies, the spetz natz may be elite units, yes, but not super humans nor any better soldiers than any other SF team with proper training. A bullet in the head kills them just like any other human.

No reason to worship them or think they can magically stop an army.

Ukrainian "Alpha" now have "extremely low fighting abilities".

And, you know, there are different kinds of spetz natz. The ones that are worse are better known, because the better ones were from Soviet Union, and all the documents on them were burned in the nineties.

Any SF are lethal. Comparing them is same as any random IMDB thread like C.Norris vs SubZero. Spetsnaz (they are not even elite) vs something like Delta is stupid in the same way.

Cyanide is in apple-seeds for Chrissakes.
Cyanide is one of the most common toxins plants use for self-defense. I think hundreds if not thousands of plants contain it. Luckily our body is quite good at handling low doses of it.

Wave of pessimism have passed. Guys, when you see more defeatism like that from me... please  slap me in the face through your monitor :)
Don't give up, UR. Nothing is eternal, Putin's regime included. And when it starts teetering on a brink, people like you and me will march on kremlin and do to Putin what your compatriots did to Yuschenko.

Even if I dislike Putin, reading that is what makes me want to puke. "Prioritize, Wilson!"

The funny thing is, West was hoping for Russia to go western since at least Peter I the Puny (know in Russia as the Great, God knows why), and it is still what it was back then - eastern barbaria, place untouched by democracy. We all could use a Reagan now, guys. Really.

You speak of democracy like it is the best thing mankind invented.
Why do you hate freedom so much?!?

[/insinceritymode]

People tend to mashup democracy with free market and private property nowadays too much. Everytime I hear "democracy and freedom" I shake my head. Does british people feel offended or not?

Peter I the Puny (know in Russia as the Great, God knows why)

Should I post wikipedia link or is it derogatory of some sort?

Seems similar to what we have in the states with the Fox news types, to be honest - except where every major station is Fox. Ugh.  Not that the other stations don't ever carry water for the administration...

echo.msk.ru
ng.ru

There is one thing you may never understand because you are westerner and narrow minded. There are Russian media which are ... unbiased. These two sources (and there alot more) that are totally unbiased and represent every end of spectrum. On "Echo" you can find videos of Remchukov and Kiselev next to each other.

It's absolute hilarity how you all cite UR sources as truth and russian sources as 100% propaganda. I laugh out loud. So narrow minded. So incredibly biased.

I always imagined they were shut-ins that lived in their parents basement or in small shack at the backyard they share with old and rusty tractor, with USSR banner and pictures of topless Putin hanging from the wall. It seems to fit their behaviour well.

"Basement" and "backyard" sentiments is ridiculous in ears of russians. 99% live in flats. I can't explain this for you, you can't understand it. Cultural gap of size of Atlantic ocean.

Normal tank commander would shot from that big machinegun. First above their heads, then directly at this scum (If you know Russian it's easy to understand their general level of culture and IQ)

Our regular army is not ready to kill on this war, yet

Kill them all. Russians are stupid and uncultural, and scum. Noted.

42
BTW, This night a pro-RussianPutin presidency candidate was nearly lynched by an angry mob in Kyiv (six bodyguards can't do much against many angry people)
He was saved by... No, not the police. He was saved by the Right Sector.

Okay, nazi's is good. Noted.

Russia has as much of a claim over Crimea as they do over Donetsk and the Donbass region. I don't see any difference there. In fact, they have as much of a claim over Crimea as they do over the whole of Ukraine. And Finland. And Latvia, and pretty much half of Eastern Europe.

Prooflink, and math formula, please.

In theory that could work, but you're still going to have some people voting, even if it's only 5% of the east and south.

I don't know what minimum limit in constitution or whatever. Better ask UR. Not like I believe this scenario is going to happen. Whatever they talk, I believe quote is going to be fulfilled and elections is going to happen

No, there are different situation: Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles are made at Ukrainian factory. They are modernized at Ukrainian factory. They are serviced at Ukrainian factory. Probably we know about that missiles more than Russians themselves.

I am not going to call your bluff here because you are silly. I am already stated in previous thread that I am originally from Votkinsk and if you google it you will understand why I call you silly. Don't spew bullshit even if you can. Those naive westerners may believe you, but I will call your bluff any time. Lies is a lies, no matter how you wrap it.
