War in Ukraine

[volgr]

Ukraine was never a threat to Russia.

Well the Russian people said otherwise and the West has set the self defense standard pretty low, so here we are.

The Russian people didn't say anything. 1 Russian decided their fate.

Polling shows they are favorable to say the least.

He took pieces of a puzzle, flipped them over and drew his own picture on the back.

Lol, so what picture should someone paint from these accepted facts?

These points have been argued for a year. We all know where each other stands. No reason to rehash old arguments.

So what would be the correct thing to draw from those pieces of the puzzle?

Well, you are correct there, for an entire year the 'second-best army in the world' has struggled to overcome Ukrainian defenses.

I wonder who they polled.

You can say that and of course most people who don't follow the conflict closely will likely believe it. However, when one looks at how Russia took Mariupol relatively quickly while at a numbers disadvantage against some of Ukraine's best fighers, they see a different story. Russia can take key areas from Ukraine when they want, but most of the conflict has been a slow grind that leads us to today where Ukraine and the West to some degree in regards to equipment available to assist Ukraine, have been heavily demilitarized and it has come at a relatively low cost to Russia.

If after a year of conflict, you're still hanging your hat on Russia's destruction of Mariupol as a model of Russia's prosecution of their war against Ukraine, then you're even more divorced from reality than I could imagine.

Polls are the fakest “stats” in the book. Please don’t even try that

 

[KB5252]

Whenever Ukraine is demilitarized and Russia is satisfied they will no long be a threat to Russia.

LOL

Polls are easy to fake, as we have seen

Lmao

 

[Burhead]

Think we all knew Erdogan would bend the knee at some point.

 

[lawgator1]

The initial Russian offer for peace will be stupid. As will be the initial Ukrainian response. But as long as there is any offer and response, it's a start.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Of course this moron doesn't want to have peace. He loves getting those american dollars

 

[Velo Vol]

Russian Boomers wanting to get the empire back together again.

See how you'll like it when someone is asking you to give up your home.

 

[BeardedVol]

Russia agreed to a ceasefire on paper, twice previously, and then didn't adhere to them.

What makes you think that they'd actually do so now?

Lmao idk it’s probably more or less about someone invading your home and you need to kick them out. Money doesn’t hurt though
