A terrible loss of human life and 452 strapping young lads in the prime of their lives.
Would it be improper to say their lives would have been spared if Putin did not invade on February 24th (or an invasion at all)?
Because that’s the way I see it.
There are consequences for actions a nation takes.
War is an action where one never know the final outcome, or at least each outcome, so one needs to use offensive war as a solution of last resort. That applies to George W. Bush also. A lot of the later troubles in the Middle East are laid at his feet.
Sadly, Vlad is finding this out his own hard way, too.
It is sad, but it can be over in a minute if he stops and pulls his forces out.
Since the start of this, it has always been an option for him.
Better them than 452 Ukranian mothers and their children, wouldn't you say?
“A terrible loss of human life and 452 strapping young lads in the prime of their lives.”
A terrible loss of thousands of Ukrainian civilians of all ages, raped women and children, leveled beautiful cities, and millions of displaced people who lost everything they had.
P.S. Screw the 452 young lads. They are crab meal now, as far as I am concerned.
