The West has spent many times Russias military budget and hundreds of thousands of soldiers only to lose the war.
Russia will likely gain several states worth of land.
Unsure how this is a “good deal”, even in the most psychopathic framing possible. I’d think that would mean Russia is getting the good deal in that case? They have spent far less and gained actual winnings.
Unfortunately for the Ukrainian people, this attitude you and the rest of the West hold has lead them to utter disaster.
If you could back it up with actual military success, it’d be reasonable.
But instead, all of Europe and the US is about to lose to post Soviet Russia, and Ukraine has paid the price.
You admitted yourself the harm is already happening; just with American companies.
At the very worst, we are fucked either way.
The alternative is, maybe the Chinese government doesn’t fuck us over. So at least we have a chance with them.
Honestly, that leaves me wondering why you care other than the “scheming asiatic” angle to this
Weaponized progressive language.
Sexual violence is bad, so let us keep blasting women and children into red mist.
Even your business overlords agree no forced labor is happening lmao
If you’re gonna be a capitalist, have the decency to smile when your overlords tell you to
This was hilariously inevitable when they made him a hero. The only way to end the war is to make him a villain next.
Ukraine eventually would have invaded Russian lands under a pretense that Russia had attacked first.
Western media would have covered for this. How exactly could Russia have avoided this war of Western aggression?
The next step is stopping a genocide you unbelievable fucking freak.
Go make friends with an Arab person. Please, go see them as human for one goddamn second.
“Don’t fight someone trying to kill you. They might kill you faster.”
This is so absurdly nitpicky I’m not sure what to say. The bombings of Germany DEFINITELY damaged their industry, which helped end the war.
Are you really implying that no innocent civilians were butchered by the ground invasion of Europe? (Also, hilariously, you left out that Japan was literally defeated without a ground invasion of Japan. Same war, buddy.)
You just seem like you can’t accept wars mean violence against a people, not a military/government. It’s a child’s propaganda understanding of warfare that you have.
Look at pictures of Germany after the war and tell me it wasn’t violence against Germany. Are you fucking kidding me? Over 500k German civilians died in the bombing raids.
“It was just collateral damage” - the words of a fucking coward who refuse to admit what they’ve done
It sucks they died but ending the Holocaust and Nazi Germany was a moral necessity.
Violence against Germany literally ended the Holocaust so you are just a clown.
I guess you would have sent thoughts and prayers to the extermination camps.
The Jews would have been justified in killing every German they could get their hands on if it could help stop the Holocaust.
A genocidal society has no right to claim the mercy of a civilian/soldier distinction. They do not recognize it themselves.
It is a horrible tragedy on a personal level. No one person has any power over the situation they find themselves in, but that is the brutal logic of war. Societies will feel less safe in engaging in targeting civilians if their own are subject to retaliation when they do so.
Akin to the Warsaw uprising. People facing extermination rising up hoping to avert ultimate doom at the hands of uncaring monsters.
They knew how outmatched they were, but the alternative is submitting to genocide. Think about the desperation required to take this nearly hopeless fight. The sheer suffering.
Go fuck yourself Bernie. You bowed to this. You endorsed this. You imperialist piece of shit.
At least Jezza stood for principles and went down for them.
People like you absolutely cannot be allowed anywhere near the levers of power in any society.
Your mindset is responsible for so much preventable suffering and you think it’s universal for some reason.
That deeply saddens me how warped your perception of reality must be.
ANC would have looked a lot more like Hamas if the apartheid included putting every black person in a concentration camp for 70 years and randomly bombing them.
Who are you to judge humans that have been subjected to such a nightmare? To claim their fight is somehow tainted? This will end the moment Israel decides to take their boot off the neck of 2 million human beings.
The literal first article title you posted is that bombardments hit the crossing
Palestinians don’t have artillery, so only one side can bombard.
It’s a meaningless label. Who decided they were terrorists? You?
If killing civilians is the requirement to be terrorists, every single military on Earth is a terrorist organization. That’s what war IS.
“We must reestablish deterrence that allows us to air strike Iran without them shooting back”
Utterly deranged. The Zionist mind is so self important they really think the status quo is whatever they want it to be.
