(5,943 posts)these numbers are more like only 35% of the population being for the war. This was based on his knowledge of how these polls are conducted and then adjusted to fit their narrative.

(9,998 posts)NATO is not going to get involved, and Ukraine barely has the capability to defend their own territory. They're not going to ever be dropping bombs on Moscow.

(17,757 posts)I am talking about Ukrainians using the weapons that they have available when the time is right. Thus the reference to terror.
If the Ukrainians need some help with that, they need to bring some old Irishmen out of retirement. In effect, once occupied, a continuation of war by other means. Russia made war on the Ukrainian people, may they get what they gave.

(14,061 posts)Their news coverage all from the government now, if theyre getting any news at all.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the propaganda machine cant lie away the effects of the sanctions. Collective anger has been known to overthrow regimes.
