Ukraine already lost. The country is leveled and our media acts like Russia is struggling to win in Ukraine. The country is leveled! If Russia left tomorrow ukraine would have a massive identity crises and before long they would ask if zelensky loved them so much why would he be so arrogant to stand there and force Ukraine to be burned to the ground? Russia did it a different way but the USA has been leveling and killing civilians since 1991. Hell even before my lifetime. First level Iraq with air strikes, level Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, level with air strikes tons of collateral damage then once everything is disabled send in ground troops.
russia sent the ground troops in simultaneous to the air strikes so they suffered higher casualties
you folks who think Russia is losing don’t understand the Russian mind or their culture. First Russia is known for what? ballet and chess. The outcomes that are occurring are a product of what Russia wants. It’s a friggin chess match. In January putin states he wanted to make eastern Ukraine independent. If Russia had moved into eastern Ukraine to fight that war it would not be where it is now. Instead making Ukraine fight a war in every city Russia is slowly peeling eastern UKraine away even to the point intelligence analysts are beginning to say this is the starting point of a negotiation. Again the starting point of negotiation now is a divided Ukraine. If it had been eastern Ukraine only maybe they negotiated Donetsk or Luhansk but now it’s everything East of the dnieper river. No one forces negotiations going in with what they want. Or atleast no one with a brain. They always start way off and force compromise.
which leads me to why there is no compromise. Biden has run his mouth so much that everyday the man speaks things escalate. It’s obvious Russia is taking out its disdain for this and Obama administration on Ukraine. Why? Because biden throws out stupidity acts like we are on some high horse when in fact the USA has killed millions in the last 30 years. Many of those innocent.
listen I’ve been all over the world 50+ countries and when you travel to regions not influenced by the USA you learn what American propaganda looks like. It’s as disgusting as any other form. We had a president conduct a vendetta war. Americans would never call it that or at least intelligence and the media would never say it but bush went after Sadam and destroyed that country bc Sadam tried to have the elder bush killed. Not because of wmd or al qaeda. You go to Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Russia even Eastern Europe and Greece and there are vast elements that will tell you this over and over.
I hate war. I don’t think it’s justified unless you’re attacked. Does that mean physically attacked? Hell no. If Russia was in Canada trying to peel it away from the USA to its influence you think USA would sit there? If Russia was in Mexico and trying to build a presence there you think the USA would take it? Shit the soviets wanted a military presence in Cuba and the USA almost forced a nuke war over it. Russia is even greater threatened with NATO nations on its border and those countries host American weapons.
what’s the difference? The difference is that the USA thinks every country has to do democracy our way, they think autocracy = evil, they think if you’re not accepting diversity and diluting your culture with refugees from the ME and Africa that you’re a supremacist.
russia is no great place. There is no freedom it’s cold it’s a difficult life because the middle class is waning. Whatever the nation though the problem becomes when one tries to force another to change their history and culture.
Putin has already won. In the coming months nato will show it’s fault lines again, Ukraine will need to be completely rebuilt and Ukrainians will one day wake up and wonder why zelensky destroyed the country instead of stepping aside to save lives. All politics is a pendulum. For Ukraine it’s the pendulum between west and Russia. When the Ukrainians eventually realize zelensky let the history and culture of Ukraine leveled they will wonder why. It will be a crises of west or Russia once again. Sure Russia bombed the shit outta them but nato has been pulling Ukraine away from its historical mother Russia. Now the people will want to know why the hell did the west pull us away then abandon us? Where was the west to protect Ukraine.
wars aren’t fought in 30 days. This has been going on since the west helped over throw the government close to Putin. This began in 2014. This won’t end for 20-30-40 years maybe never. You can get rid of Putin and you can have free and fair elections in Russia and the next guy elected will seize power like Putin. It’s why democracy doesn’t work in some places. Egypt for example tried democracy elected MBH with morsi, then the military took control of the nation back. The USA did all this shit to push to democracy and now the USA won’t deal with Egypt the way it used to because the government was over thrown. You can’t make this shit up. The USA helps topple mubarak, there’s an election won by fundamentalist and the USA doesn’t have good relations with Sísi bc the military had to save the country.
who is gonna rebuild Ukraine? NATO countries will be afraid to go in there. Russia is broke. What zelensky has done is arrogant and what for? Freedom that will never exist bc the country is now fd. He should have played the long game and left. Left Ukraine intact and live to fight another day. Zelensky is no great man. He’s a propaganda machine trying to pull the west into what will end up as a nuke war and you know what. He doesn’t give a shit because all he cares about is his power in Ukraine.
