The FRL is interesting, apparently they have recruitment cells all over Russia, and the interest is strong. This could be the beginning of a revolution or civil war in Russia when the Ukranian war is over.
And there is no doubt anymore that Ukraine will win, the Russians have crossed too many red lines. The free world will not let this agression stand man.

Your blind optimism is nice... but, blind.

BTW the "free world" does not care about "red lines" , not in the way you think, if they did, Yemen would not be a thing for example.

I am afraid there is no good here, its a full on shit sandwich all the way around.

The usual I am afraid, psychopaths in suits, protected ones at that, playing stupid games, and with no intention of sending themselves or their sons to die in conflict.

I fear, that this situation gets worse, before it gets better, I would like to believe in some fairy-tale, or have some sort of optimistic romantic notion about this war/situation... but I do not.

It is an unmitigated shit show.

My blind optimism have been right so far.

Don't you understand that people allways will be more engaged in helping their own kind than other, more distant people with whom they feel no kinship. That's why the west is helping Ukraine but not Yemen.
If you think people are color blind when it comes to people they feel kinship with, then you are the blind one.

"been right so far"

hmmmmkay, only the magical you has the ability to see through the fog of war...

Not being rude but all I see you doing is reposting every and anything you can, from other sources (twitter and blah) and saying how everything is going great in Ukraine.. yeah looks it mate, I have not seen YOU "be right" about anything yet, just regurgitating other peoples info, somee of which may be right and some of which may be propaganda and or just plain bullshit.

Also, sorry, but there is no united front on how to deal with Ukraine situation, and certainly NOT from the Europeans, as has been pointed out to you already.... giving them another 450million , whilst simultaneously paying the Russians close to a billion euros a day for energy is fucking laughable, and sorry , but it is not like this whole situation was not kinda obvious many many years ago. The EU cannot help itself, and bickers and stumbles all over itself at almost every opportunity. There is a reason that the Ukraine is no in the EU, or a member of NATO, or that it has ever been considered really, in reality "part of Europe" (it is not exactly a "democracy" either)

Also, "helping their own kind" ?? ermmmm well my own kind is not "Ukrainians" any more or less than a "Yemeni" is.... and proclaiming it as some sort of good thing that the "west" operates in this way, shows the absolute fucking farce that it is.... also the reason "west" is so adamant about ignoring the Yemen situation is nothing to do with kind, and everything to do with deep throating the Saudis, whilst glugging at the oil teat and supplying the Saudis with all the new military toys they could desire, the "west" are not ignoring Yemen, they are actively facilitating it 100% and therefore have exactly ZERO moral standing, it is just a absolute farce, which shows you exactly why I have zero faith in "the west" to be making moral decisions about Ukraine.

The idea that the E.U or Europe is "united" in anyway is a absolute joke... let alone Europe and any other part of the "west"
The northern EU members, all but want to spit on the southern members, and there is literally no bond or common cultural ties that bring them together, and this E.U trade block has not changed that, and never ever will, all the way up to and past the time the E.U crumbles and takes their shitty stupid currency down the drain with them.

I do not have a crystal ball when it comes to the Ukraine situation, any more than you do.... but if I had to guess.... this situation is going to get worse before it gets better.... and much damage is already done, and it will take years if not decades to unravel , and potentially things get much much worse from here...

Their ain't no fairy tales here, only a giant shit sandwich every which way you dice it
