That is literally the opposite of what happened

Itās one thing to be thick, itās another to be wilfully thick.
They pulled back in Nov. Started to advance in Feb / March? Heās had an injection of 500k plus troops and is firing upwards of 50k shells a day now? The new toys have been devastating but Ukraine is running low on munitions already. The Russian tactic of firing bodies at it is working
Iāll have to take your word on it .
What criteria are you using to make this assessment? A headcount?
As usual I havenāt a clue what youāre on about

ā¦Either your madman theory or your hitler comparison. Are you just repeating something youāve heard or is it based on some logicā¦like a headcount of victims?
I said āwhat I think isā
Itās right there in my post, Iām not reporting facts
The comparison to 1938 is blindingly obvious on many levels, obviously youāll know of many other levels where it differs and focus on them while calling me an idiot, I know the routine by now 
Itās not blindingly obvious to me? Is he an expansionist or an antisemite? Heās been in power for a long time without extending russias borders. It seems obvious that he initially preferred a peaceful solution to the decade old conflict in the Ukraineā¦and that he was prepared to resolve the current conflict through negotiations.
Do you have any reason for saying that the hitler company is blindingly obvious?
Did you miss the whole Georgia thing? Or the invasion of Ukraine bit?
The most obvious comparison to 1938 is the call for appeasement, I would say that it wouldnāt be a stretch to call Putin an expansionist going on recent events, maybe his ambitions in this regard will be reached in Ukraine but how can you be sure.
Maybe heās not a madman but I think he is, again just giving an opinion, I canāt speak factually about these things
The georgia thing? An ethnic conflict whipped up by america where the georgian government were the initial aggressors and russia responded ruthlessly? There. Now you donāt have to pretend you have a clue.
Rinse and repeat for Ukraine, but with infinity more western involvement, a longer back story and more attempts by russia to find a non-military solution. If you can get past the hitler inanity, and the hysteria, and the faux moralising youāre quite capable of understanding both the war and possible ways out of it. Youāll risk the wrath of most of the forum though
What call for appeasement?
Whatās your understanding of the negotiations which took place since the invasion? Consider putins expansionism in your response?
Will you ever cop on 
Itās not Newsnight,
I have no response to your demand,
Youāre some spoofer
The modern liberal typeās only frame of reference is WW2. Any geopolitical development is literally 1930ās Germany or fascism. Thatās how they cope or compute complex issues. Good guys and bad guys. This is literally Hitler. Youāll see it flowing through numerous threads here.

I would say Iām the opposite of a spoofer, I donāt pretend to be any more intelligent than I am, Iām just making casual observations while admitting all along that Iām the furthest thing from an expert.
You setting me leaving cert history questions from the year 2075 is genuinely hilarious
Thatās ok. You said you thought something and i asked why. I didnāt realise that itās not fair
Itās quite something. They see nazis everywhere until theyāre presented with actual genuine self declared nazis - ones wearing nazi insignia, celebrating nazi ww2 heroes and giving nazi salutes. Then they canāt see nazis.
This is a serious question, you donāt get this quality of questioning very often on TFK, or anywhere else really, bar an exam hall
