Ahaha, if a lone action of some lunatic can prevent Sweden from joining NATO, then Sweden is not so eager to get into NATO.

LOL, these lovers of conspiracy theories will share everything that fits their agenda without making any reasearch about it. This image is perfect example of it. It can be taken out of context or tell completely opposite things. But who need critical thinking when you can make stupid conspiracy theory...
Though, from all these countries in the map, Hungary wouldn't be against taking part of Ukraine, judging from their stance on sanctions against Russia and sending military equipment to Ukraine.

Why not to start with map of Russia and think about giving Karelia, Königsberg and Kuril islands back to original owners?

For me it's very difficult to believe that Turkey would agreed on on accepting Sweden and Finland to NATO. And with that burned Quaran they simply found reason. I'm sure that they will find reason not to accept Finland too. I agree that Fnland with strong military don't desperatelyy need NATO. It's more that NATO need it

Stalin is long dead, and even his beliefs are almost gone.

I watched the movie, "The Kremlin Conspiracy," which is up on Youtube in French - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uBeEnMhFOI. The interesting thing about it is that I can't find this movie listed in any detail anywhere else. Even the IMDB (Internet Movie Database, taken from the volumes of a similar name) doesn't have this movie listed except if you are a Premium Member.

I don't understand French, but the movie seemed to have details about Stalin's death. Why isn't it widely advertised? Too much detail that the military nations of the world want covered up?

Get off it. Russia has changed. Listen to the propaganda that the writer of "The Kremlin Conspiracy" book is pushing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUZB22EEl3A.

Updated and supplemented data on missile strikes:

1) October 10-11 - 112 missiles, shot down 65 (58%);
…
2) October 17 (in 6 days) – 9 missiles – 3 missiles shot down (33%)
…
3) October 22 (after 5 days) – 36 missiles, shot down 18 (50%);
...
4) October 31 (after 9 days) – 56 missiles, shot down 45 (80%);
...
5) November 15-17 (in 15 days) – 108 missiles, shot down 79 (73%)
...
6) November 23 (after 6 days) – 67 missiles, shot down 51 (77.5%); Blackout
…
7) December 5 (after 12 days) – 70 missiles, shot down 60 (86%);
…
8 ) December 16 (after 11 days) – 76 missiles, shot down 60 (79%);
…
9) December 29-31 (after 13 days) - 81 missiles, shot down 74 (79%) - ballistic missiles were used
…
10) January 14 (after 15 days) – 38 missiles were shot down, 25 missiles (67%)
…
11) January 26 (in 12 days) – 55 rockets. 47 shot down (3 did not reach the air defense zone and fell), (90%)
In general, we can say that since October 10, we have had 11 massive missile strikes.
The average number of missiles has already dropped to 64. Apparently, in fact, resources are running out.
The average interval between missile attacks is 8 days, with a tendency to increase to 12-15 days.
Which also confirms the limited resources and the growing time to fill up the reserves to carry out the strike
Average whipping efficiency during the period - 63%.
Over the past 2 months, efficiency has increased to 78%
The statistics were slightly spoiled by S400 ballistic missiles
But, in general, efficiency is increasing
Based on statistics, the next strike may be in 12-15 days (February 7-10) with a total number of missiles up to 60
We can say in advance that the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense is increasing, energy risks for us are decreasing.
The effectiveness of Horde strikes is visible only on television and for the international court - additional evidence confirming terrorism.
We thank the forces of the Armed Forces, Air Defense Forces for protecting the sky.
We thank the energy workers for the light in the houses (although so far with fan outages)
And thanks to our partners for the energy equipment!

Spoke to a Ukrainian (from Odessa) and from his view the 2019 map with percent of Russian speakers in region is correct. At home he speaks Russian with family and friends. He has real difficulty understanding some Ukrainians because of strong dialect variations (Surzhik, villages with wild varieties of Russian-Ukrainian mix or Ukrainian dialects with no standard in its written form).
Since the start of the war a lot of people moved and some of his friends started to speak Ukrainian.
By law all cinemas in the country must use Ukraine language only.
The second map is from Wikimedia, (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Regional_languages_in_Ukraine_(RUS).PNG)
the third Google search (old original ), and the 4th is chat language used in VK social network.

All irrelevant. The fact that someone speaks Russian does not mean that they want to join a Russia that has been kidnapped by kleptocrats, psychotic generals and a "president" that is just like any bannana republic dictator except better armed. This war is not about culture, is not about language and is not about anything but the desire to rebuild the old USSR dominions by Putin. That is why he has to be stopped.

That's the weakest excuse for the invasion so far. You gotta do better.

The brink of WWnext is here. It's slopping over the brim of the war cup. If it starts for real, free Europe will be gone almost as quickly as Ukraine.


More Russian Sanctions = World War III

Every President always sought peace until Biden who seems to be reading the cur cards for Armageddon. Even Henry Kissinger said every president has invited him to the White House EXCEPT Biden.

Even if we assume that the sanctions worked and forced Putin to withdraw from protecting the Russians in the Donbas whom the West had all agreed were entitled to their human rights and self-determination with the fake Minsk Agreement, what would happen in the political crisis in Russia? We confiscated all Japanese assets, put energy embargoes on them, and threaten to prevent them from dealing with any other country for energy. Roosevelt did everything he could to get Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. Biden has done the same to Russia.

The risk of overthrowing Putin would lead to a potential civil war and the further breakup of Russia with more nukes than the West. Of the 14,500 nuclear weapons on the planet, Russia and the United States own the lion's share, with a combined total of approximately 13,350 nukes. The remaining 1,150 weapons are held by seven countries. The USA has 6,500 nukes and Russia has 6,800. Destabilizing Russia is just insane. Russia will wipe out Europe in the blink of an eye if pushed and they now know that this Ukraine bullshit is really a war of the USA and NATO against Russia and we are the aggressors.
