Zelensky is committing genocide against his own people, letting them die in futile in proxy war on behalf of the "liberal world order".
“It could take years of guerilla warfare to wear down the Rooskies.”
Several things will be wearing them down, at the same time. Their economy in Depression, their finances bankrupt, and their conventional Military being decimated - as well as guerrilla warfare in areas they are trying to occupy.
Russia could quit anytime they choose, but they can’t keep up these losses for more than 2-3 years, against Western support.
After Europe gets through this tough Winter with energy prices, the butt hurt against Russia is going to be deep, to see it through for revenge. The war crimes trials are scheduled to start over this Winter as well, which is also likely to stiffen resolve to neuter the Putin mafiacracy regime.
Nah, just a vet with a high appreciation for freedom who opposes Klaus and his cronies.
I’m sorry God didn’t give you enough mental capacity to see the obvious.
Nothing obvious about war. There are two sides, and there is no simple “he started it” answer to conflicts that have existed between groups for centuries. The best we can do, unless you approve of the philosophy of slavery reparations and blaming people who no longer even exist, is to put a line in the sand and follow accepted norms of behavior between nation states.
In this case, Russia recognized Ukraine as an independent nation in 1991. From that point on, any conflicts within Ukraine were Ukraine’s to deal with (regardless of any accusations of Nazi’s or not). Russia has invaded twice now since that treaty. They are the invader, and have shown themselves to be unreliable and untrustworthy as neighbors.
Sorry God didnt give you the mental capacity to understand that.
Or next week.
Or the week after that.
Or in October. Or November.
EuroWeenies:
"We'll make you pay for forcing us to hit ourselves in the face with the energy hammer, Putin!!"
The words of retarded children.
You should read up on The Gordian Knot.
The energy hammer will be gone, and bitter enmity against Russia will remain.
Putin did that.
Free Republic's Geopolitical Wimpy:
"I will gladly predict what will happen Tuesday if you say that I'm credible today."
Sorry, not buying what The BoBo is selling.
Exactly. Just like Hitler.
But, BeijingBiden has ensured that he has a boatload of cash to fall back on when he buggers out.
Bosnia 2.0.
We all thought Serbs were the bad guys. After two tours I had it figured out.
I did not support the Clinton/Bosnian war. I figured that out before the first bomb was dropped. Didnt need two tours to know that was a fustercluck.
I also dont support sending US troops to Ukraine.
I do support stopping Russian aggression, which has taken place at least on a dozen occasions since the fall of the USSR (Georgia, Crimea, being only a few instances). I support this not just because its aggression (we dont need to police all aggressors), but because Russia is not a pissant country, and their threats and eyes are on all the former east bloc states and Europe.
The end is coming! All of these deaths were needless had the Ukrainians agreed to the peace deal before the West put pressure on them to keep fighting a war they can’t win.
He was suppressing opposition before the Russians invaded!
I don’t see Russia going crazy. I see the west goading them into a larger war.
Ukraine needed dealing with. Let it be, then see where it’s at. Ukraine is a cesspool beyond Bosnia even.
I was a very young soldier during Bosnia. Media was hammering away the Serbs, it took me longer to figure out. These days, I see things very clearly. Covid, shots, bug factories, climate bs etc.
I’d like to suppress BLM before the Russians invade here. Its an internal Ukraine issue/problem. Not Russia’s business.
Russia is being Russia. They have a long history of aggression and paranoia.
Some things ‘the west’ did may have pissed them off, but that was not an excuse to invade a country. They need to learn how to deal with the world the way Trump did. There are many forms of power besides military. Ukraine was not their business, cesspool or not.
You have a healthy skepticism for all the western govts and (so called) leaders today. Thats ok. But Russia is no innocent victim here. They have created a worse situation for everyone.
It's not completely unfounded.
Understood. Just not convinced the justifications of the past have existed in the last 25 years.
