Yep, it's on my feed.
...
Nobody on this side of the world is forcing Ukraine to fight back against Russia.
Ukraine do not want negotiations about relinquishing any of their territory to Russia, or an end to the invasion with a caveat about what Ukraine can and can’t do afterwards.
Ukraine are fighting back regardless of what support they get from the west and it seems are willing to die and suffer regardless if they have weapons and support.
it’s not anybody’s choice bar Ukraines wether they die for their country or not.
Ukraine have asked for help and have gotten it.
I see a certain poster has popped back up with their usual tactics of discussing absolutely anything but Russia and its actions.
Yes Putin is the one who has to ask his country men to die for him.
Is Scholz still in a coma?
Yes.
So you think Ukraine should just hand the country over to Russia and let Russians rape, murder, and torture their people? Well it’s either you think that is ok or else you weren’t thinking when you were typing.
If it is, then it speaks to Musks misunderstanding of how Democracy works. Russias strongmen simply don't understand either. They cannot understand that if someone is not up to the job then democracy **** them out on their ear. Thats is why "weak strongmen" like Putin and Medvedev fear Democracy, they would not have the strenght to last 30 days in a real Parliament.
They fear it, and fools like Musk do not understand it.
Is that real?
There's a bit more to it than that.
Strategic bombing is a military strategy used in total war with the goal of defeating the enemy by destroying its morale, its economic ability to produce and transport materiel to the theatres of military operations, or both
If there a lot of infrastructure, manufacturing and transport hubs in the cities. Then it definitely does have an effect on that, but also the resources consuming in defending against it is vast. It has happened since WWII, (we are seeing it Ukraine) but generally accuracy (still not 100%) has improved. So you can precision (ish) target in a city. Hence we are seeing intensive bombing of infrastructure in the Ukraine.
Yes, everyday that 300,000 brave Ukrainians stand and fight against rapists, murderers, theives, and torturers. They do that with the support of their families and friends in full view of a world wide free press Lizzy. Do you doubt that Lizzy? Do you see opposition expressed by Ukrainians to the Presidents position Lizzy? Do you see dissent expressed in the Ukrainian Parliament Lizzy? Do you accept that the free press have access to the people and Parliament of Ukraine Lizzy?
Amazing series Trauma zone. It’s about the fall of the Soviet Union made up entirely of BBC footage from the time. All episodes on YouTube.
This episode features the first mvasion of Chechnya and the bombing and the Grozny. Russia has always been a dysfunctional terrorist state spreading misery all around Europe. Russia needs to be dismantled as it just continues killing its own people and the people of surrounding areas.
Did Zelensky get the madate from the Ukranian citizens on the back of continuing this war?
If the Ukrainians wanted to lay down their arms and let Russia take over, they would have done that. It would be far more definitive than any referendum. But no, they choose to fight and fight hard.
Elon
No, this "pretend annexation" has convinced no one.
In years to come, Ukrainian tourist guides will inform their guests "interestingly, all of this area was deemed Russian by Russians, but with no real possibility of imposing that view it is now simply a curiosity".
There you go Lizzy, the masked slipped. Who is the president of Ukraine? Who elected him?
Do you prefer to take the sham referrendums held by Russia as the equal of the parliamentary and presidential elections of Ukraine, if that is your position then you are nothing more than a Russian propagandist pretending to have concern about peace.
Whether Russia fell into a trap, or were pushed into a trap... or just felt like messing up whatever objectives the west had in Ukraine... It's all a bit of a moot point really.
They're not the three possible explanations for the situation. Russia unilaterally invaded Ukraine in an illegal expansionist land-grab. That is the reason and the only reason. They've done it before and got away with it, they're doing it now and they'll keep doing it until they're stopped.
That's not a moot point, it's a very good reason to attempt to make sure that this is the last time they do it.
I must of missed that referendum?
But surely the basis of prolonging the war because the people have already suffered is quite bizarre to say the least.
And yet 4 weeks ago they retook large parts of the North, and the next few days/couple of weeks they will retake Kherson. Russia is not a superpower with Nuclear weapons, its a minnow with nuclear weapons.
Yes but maybe that is too late now. Once land is annexed it is very hard to claim back especially off a super power armed with nuclear weapons.
Yes bombing cities is a very ineffective way of winning a war. After the initial terror people adapt and know what to do. With fire safety improvements over the years it’s even less effective. There has been no firestorms across whole swathes of cities like there was in WW2. Concrete doesn’t really burn like the old wooden structures of the past and there are a lot more fire resistant materials in buildings nowadays. So just bombing a probable empty building to partially destroy it does not seem very worthwhile. But it is easier than going in street by street fighting.
And yet this is the route that UKRAINIANS have chosen. It is not your decision to take lizzy, it is not mine, it is not Putins it is not Bidens, the right to determine the future of Ukraine lies solely with Ukrainians. They have made that decision.
In the face of that clear decision that Ukrainians have made, the only role the rest of the world can take is to ignore/oppose/or support them. There is clearly only 1 morally correct route of those 3 and yours is morally incorrect.
Resulting in an increase in Israeli aid to Ukraine now?
Or Russia needs more resources back home?
No one forced Russia to send their raping, murdering, torturing, and stealing army into Ukraine except Putin. The war is 100% on the back of Russia, and not one single person anywhere else is to blame. All the knock on effects are fully due to Russia too.
If I don’t like my next door neighbour because they are more successful, have nicer things, have plants that grow better in their garden, or even if they are an ignoramus, should I have the right to rape, murder, torture, and steal their home?
ETA: as I know you don’t seem to understand a lot outside of what Russian propaganda feeds you and will do everything to avoid answering….the answer any decent human would give is ‘no’.
Russia withdraws S300 from Syria. Interesting timing, so does this mean one of the main Israeli reasons for not providing military aid is now gone and we'll see a policy change there?
Or was it actually a favour/deal from the Russians for Israel not increasing their support to Ukraine?
Meanwhile..
"The 28-page UN report, which will be presented to the General Assembly on October 27, accuses Israel of violating international law by making its control over the West Bank permanent, and by annexing land claimed by the Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and Syrian land in the Golan Heights."
Were they also hoping to push some of their biggest rivals into even closer alliances than before? And plunge everyone into a food and energy crisis? And have their lapdogs the Saudis, effectively help to bankroll Russia's war effort through OPEC?
Ah yes, this is real 4D chess being played by uncle Joe over in Washington. The grand master plan is all coming together nicely.
Whether Russia fell into a trap, or were pushed into a trap... or just felt like messing up whatever objectives the west had in Ukraine... It's all a bit of a moot point really. Because a hell of a lot of people will have to suffer and lose, in order to produce whatever victory these leaders might be envisaging - on all sides.
Somewhat unrelated to the topic, but I remember my grandmother talking about that attack. She lived outside the city center of Hamburg, but according to her, they'd see an orange glow in the direction of the city for nights on end afterwards. She also said that, taking the train into Hamburg afterwards, it would roll through ruined landscapes for 20-30 minutes, with some buildings still smoldering.
When you think about it, it's incredible just how close we still are to these events. I'm pretty sure that a lot of Germans my age know of similar stories.
Funny how people don't learn. The British saw how the Blitz stiffened resolve rather than breaking it, but assumed that it would break German resolve because, you know...British. Turned out to be a false assumptian because resliience in the face of bombing isn't a British or German trait, it's a human trait.
