Russia-Ukraine War

About fcuking time i hope the cnut sees the hague

worse still they think the Ukrainians don’t want to fight at all and are being forced into it by the evil west/Nato. Despite the high approval ratings of the war effort and the fact they have sustained a successful defence for nearly 2.5 years now. Yeah they don’t want to defend themselves.

Seriously, apart from outright Putin supporters and the extreme left/right, is there anybody actively saying Ukraine should just accept the occupation without any resistance? I don't see such opinions anywhere, only from the same morons who've been saying it from the start

I know. Ultimately would be counter productive but the temptation must be very strong.

No. Hell no.

The decision makers in russia give little crap about the lives of their own people, so it would achieve little to being detrimental as it would destroy too much moral high ground the Ukrainians have

Another crime from the vodka-sodden ghetto-

CC tv from the DIY strike.

Two wrongs dont make a right

Putin's view of the world is one where hard power underpins the sovereignty of nations. Calling for the shunning of Russian businesses and closing Russian embassies is maybe warranted, but I don't think it's going to do anything close to making Putin realise that he messed up. That point would come if and when his gambit in Ukraine fails due to a collapse in Russian military capability, and he is hauled out of office and dragged through the street by an angry mob. Performative gestures will not bring that about. What will bring that about is continued and increasing western support for Ukraine in terms of being able to defend itself.

It's only a matter of "when" and not "if" the US gives the go-ahead for ATACMS missiles to be used against targets in Russia. These won't be used against civilian targets. They will be used to take out aircraft on the ground in their home bases, such as the MiG-29 and Su-34 multirole bomber aircraft, that have been plaguing Ukraine with FAB glide bombs and cruise missiles.

This has a potential to be a much more potent weapon than the promised F-16, effectively wiping out air support capabilities at the frontlines for Russia.

Scholz is a living call to believe that not making a decision is always worse than making the wrong decision.

I was following an environmentalist on twitter. I'm an environmentalist myself but I own my land and make a living from it. I haven't put it on my bio and use it to criticise others and tell people I'm an environmentalist. This other environmentalist as far as I see owns no land but since the invasion started has been mildly pro Putin. Everyone other than Putin is the devil. Biden, the irish government, the british, all the european governments, Israel (I'm against the way Israel has done all this myself and see them as russians who happen to be jewish), all the devil as far as they are concerned. They never publicly supported Putin till this evening with a post.

The post went along as I don't want to be part of WW3. Just Ukraine stop fighting and stop sending people to fight the Russians and give up the invaded parts of the country and make this stop.

It's some universe people like this live in. It's akin to pulling the bed sheets over your head and pretending it's all better now.

Meanwhile Russia has now declared a new sea border with Estonia. Annexing territory from Estonia.

La la la something, something, not putin and nazi russia's fault. La la la I love communism. I want Putin. They'd love me as an Irish person in russia and not send me to jail or the front lines or poison or throw me out of a window. I've been to university you know.

This block on Ukraine using western / US weapons to hit targets in Russia should never have been. If this was not the case , I believe Ukraine would have well won the war by now plus many many Ukraine citizens would be still alive today.

Right now Russia are adapting to using this block to its fullest by gathering 10s of 1000s of troops up north of kharkiv + weapons platforms to fire from into Ukraine just inside russia border fully knowing that Ukraine are not allowed to hit them there. Ukraine have to wait until they cross the border into Ukraine before they can hit them. This is utter looney tunes - a clear advantage being handed to putin by jake sullivan and co. Its just absurd.

However the talk im hearing is it is imminent US may allow Ukraine to use US weapons to strike inside russia, but the limit on this maybe only to hit those 3 or so oblasts in russia, north of kharkiv like sumi and the like that russia is using as a staging point inside russia at the mo. Even this would be a game changer
