Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Mr Kobayashi]

Oh that’s ok then. Idiot

I'm not sure why you struggle with the concept that you might respond differently to enemies depending on their relative power and global standing.

Put it like that I would agree. But most of the people I was responding to seem to believe that Ukraine can regain all of the territory it has lost. We still have posters talking about blowing up the bridge and taking Crimea.

We all have no idea if putin will even offer terms anyone can accept either he might not give a shit and continue. I don't see Ukraine taking Crimea and other parts via a military campaign, only if russia end the war and it becomes part of the treaty. The west have sadly gave Ukraine just enough to let russia eat itself slowly at the expense of Ukrainian lives.

Landmines being supplied is not a great decision for me. Despicable weapon.

The mines the US are supplying are run by battery rather than the old mechanical ones so the battery runs out typically after 2 days. Much safer than having unexploded mines left everywhere.

Not formally but It's almost over. They are on course for defeat.

Pretty sure you're wumming at this point. Rational people don't talk like this. It's like you're trying to get a reaction.

Well you won't be getting any interaction from me from now on.

Crack on though, I'm sure others will see through you in time.

Yet you bothered to reply to me without us not even previously having spoken to tell me this. Pointless.

Defeat would be no Ukraine, which is what the most certain outcome in putins mind. The fact they have taken some land back, hold land in russia and have destroyed russias economy and not capitulated to the 2nd largest army in the world is no defeat. Not sure why you are playing their achievements down tbh. Even if Ukraine have to cede some territory now it is no defeat they have brought russia to their knees.

Pretty much my take.

A few have advocated the former (myself included) but has anyone actually suggested the latter as a viable possibility for the foreseeable?

 

[SamTheGuru]

I may be being a bit cynical but you can't tell me that this has not been ongoing for quite some time. I mean there has been a lot of support provided to Ukraine and they decided a couple of days ago (due to a timely synchroniseed go ahead) that they can start using supplied weaponry in Russian territory whether it be claimed/owned?

wasn't trump on course for defeat in the US election? "on course for defeat" can have a strange way of being turned on its head.
