The Ukraine war. (Yes, we'll mind our manners)

[Mash 2.4]

Saw where Modi was meeting with Zelensky. In my mind that’s a good thing? Hopefully the incursion has opened Putin up to serious peace talks.

I wasn't mean. I made a simple statement. By design or not, you are parroting Putin.

Russian disinformation!

Russia’s Capture Of Pokrovsk Could Reshape The Conflict’s Dynamics

Beyond it are just a few lightly defended towns and then vast expanses of grassland that could become the scene of maneuver warfare until Russia reaches the next heavily defended localities further afield.

Russian disinformation!

It's propagnda 101: any opposition to the cause is working for the enemy.

Demonization and emotional manipulation.

Its always hilarious when any debate on this topic inevitably goes there. As if there is only one side playing the propaganda game.

Thats why i maintain the position none of us really have any idea whats going on over there. Sadly thats exactly what is intended. That fact its intended is what should really make people question everything. Instead many people question nothing and just choose a side because its popular.

Doubtful. What could they do with it? They certainly can't take it back to Ukraine. The troubling thing is your parroting of Putin.

Zelensky has a much simpler reason for going into Kursk. Ukraine hopes to create a buffer zone.

Your response is going to be interesting.

No he wants to get a peace deal and use it as leverage, one that you're told he shouldn't do bc its putin propaganda or something to propose that.

The peace talks won't even take place with putin they'll be with intermediaries and allies of the country.

You wanted an example of such deals...look up Black Sea Grain deal

Yeah, old western equipment still runs circles around 1970s and 1980s soviet tech.

Can that soviet tech take over all of Europe if he gets passed Ukraine?

Try* and not all of europe. Just the former USSR.

I'm not sure how you came up with that from my posts. Maybe you can show me

Ukraine is slightly smaller than Texas and Kiev is about 130 miles from the Russian border (that’s a little further than Louisville to the TN border)

Why can’t Russia take Kiev? You think the US couldn’t take something that close if they wanted to?

Putin absolutely looks weak AF and we should support that. He is a Bond-villain menace and hopefully his time on earth is short.

I just don’t get how some of you are pro-Putin.

I do think the effer might decide to use a low level nuke.

Taking something is one thing, holding it is another thing altogether. What has the US been able to "take & hold" since the Korean War? God knows we've had plenty of chances.
