terrorizing a bunch of civilians in a border town.

It's a great tactic. Just look at the US. Joe is clearly rattled by the terrorism on our Southern border, so rattled he can't talk straight or even walk straight.

Right, Putin may get mad and invade Ukraine to annex territory, unleashing massive misery, destruction, and death...

It is actually quite hilarious that we have so many here that ramble on endlessly about how bad Putin is. He is just the figurehead for the ever-increasing gaggle of billionaires that really run the show in Russia. The Ukrainian situation is largely responsible for creating 22 new billionaires in Russia. Their wealth has increased by $152 billion since the invasion began largely thanks to idiotic Western sanctions and other equally stupid foreign policy
________________________________________________
The same is true in this country. The military-industrial complex oligarch numbers and fortunes have increased exponentially with this insane conflict. Oligarchs on both sides are the winners while the common man is the pawn.

14,000 Ethnic Russians killed by Ukie shelling of the Donbass, pre-war ( 2014- 21)…

You keep posting this russian lie. 14,000 is the TOTAL DEAD ON BOTH SIDES, including soldiers, in the 2014-2021 war. UN estimate is 3,500 civilians were killed in 2014-21, with only 25 civilians killed in 2021, mostly by mines.

On January 27, 2022, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released its most recent estimate of the victims of the Donbass conflict from 2014 to December 31, 2021 According to the U.N., 10,900 victims were soldiers, of which 4,400 were Ukrainians and 6,500 pro-Russian combatants of or on behalf of the separatist pseudo-republics. Civilian victims were between 3,400 and 3,500.

Estimate of the Victims of the Donbass conflict from 2014 to December 31, 2021

What ever- fact is both sides have their “ justifications”. He said, she said, I think, they think….all just noise.

Wishing for this, wishing for that, means nothing.Fact is this conflict needs to end. The US blew their chance, instead of calls for Peace, heading up negotiations, …. Instead they chose War, War, War. China now has emerged as “ The Peacekeeper”, the US- “ war mongers”.

Judging by what I observe (which means nothing), Vlad loses the least, Ukraine simply has no path to “ victory “, for many solid reasons.

delta7—””””14,000 Ethnic Russians killed by Ukie shelling of the Donbass, pre-war ( 2014- 21)…”””

tlozo—”You keep posting this russian lie. 14,000 is the TOTAL DEAD ON BOTH SIDES, including soldiers, in the 2014-2021 war. UN estimate is 3,500 civilians were killed in 2014-21, with only 25 civilians killed in 2021, mostly by mines.”

Good luck trying to get through to delta7, he is one of the most whacked-out goofy posters on FR, totally in his own imaginary world, he doesn’t have a shred of honesty and posts complete nonsense.

Warning - Zelinsky’s poking of the bear will not end well.
———
The collective West’s poking will not end well for us. Zelensky’s Ukraine is already in ruins, depopulated, deindustrialized, deenergized, depleted. If the war stopped today, they are still looking at decades to recover.

If the war continues, they risk losing their entire nation. I can easily see:

Ukraine 1991-2023, they put their trust in senile Joe, think “ Afghanistan Debacle “….history repeats.

You probably still think Bakmut is in Ukie hands, our Patriots weren’t destroyed, and the Ukies are shooting down 110/100 of Vlads missiles?
