    I know what Russian full-on war against civilians would look like, and this.is.not.it

    Russians could carpet bomb kiev, lviv into oblivion if they wanted to.

    They don't. So when they say they were after a military target, they are believable based on their scale of operations n what their targets have been.

    Now, you can write all the bullshit you want about genocide n what other stupid buzzwords u want, but the elephant in the room is your accusations don't match Russia's capabilities, they could easily do much more, the fact that they don't should be telling.

    What they did to Mariupol and Severodonetsk and Lyschansk and other Ukrainian cities is the same crap they did to Grozny. The entire world is aware that Russia is all in on mass murdering civilians.

    Also gtfoh with “they were probably trying to hit military targets”. They’ve been indiscriminately bombing population centers since the war began.
    Are Ukrainians rotating troops in out of Lysychansk? Severodonetsk? Mariupol?

    What part of loosing important strategic towns is it that you don't understand?

    Sheesh, the copium is strong in you

    And unlike the stupid accusations that we are part of a troll farm, we aren't, then we would constantly post here. And frankly, I am not here to reply to people unwilling to admit loosing Lysychansk n Severodonetsk is a major defeat, pretending the war is going fine. I feel like I'm arguing with children.

    Putler and a few of his hardliners already declared as Ukranians not being Ukranians and should be purged from the face of the earth. What now? Any counter argument for that?

    Also, are you even capable of fielding the planes needed for carpet bombing?

    No, they could not carpet bomb those town, lest they want to lose their planes.

    And they are not 'full war on' civilians. They just bomb civilians to put pressure on Kiev, as it is their usual MO.

    You feel that way because you’re incapable of arguing anything other than Kremlin propaganda.

    It’s taken the Russians the entirety of the war so far to take one province, and that was because the towns became indefensible due to relentless artillery shelling. Waffles is literally the definition of tankie copium.

    Interesting self-contradiction again, suddenly NOW western news sources are not propaganda...because it suits the agenda/copium this time.

    Wiping out a single city from afar (that apparently is a russian city, with russians wiping it out, but somehow still ukrainian troops did it and killed their own people, who are russians but can't be russians because otherwise it wouldn't be ukrainian lives that ukraine ended??) after long-ass siege, calls it a victory of the entire war.

    Losing over 35k orcs for having shit morale, troop quality and equipment, all according to the plan, Russia remains stronk.

    I really don't think "the Russians could be slaughtering Ukrainian civilians WAY harder, if they wanted to" is the sound argument you seem to think it is.

    Great. Then they have to hold it. Meanwhile, Ukraine is getting newer and more advanced artillery systems from the West that outranges Russias aging Soviet era garbage.

    What I find fascinating is that us in the West just give up so easy. We're used to winning 100 % on all gears in all battles all the time that we can't fathom any kind of long term thinking or non-instant-gratification. Don't count out Ukraine yet, and don't believe Russia is ultra super duper powerful. It's all maskirovka and OODA loop shit.

    I mean, Russia being ultra super duper powerful was debunked in first few days of invasion.

    Well yeah. Their strategy is just relentless artillery and shelling civilians. Ukraine just doesn’t have the numbers of artillery to counter everything thrown at them.

    I’ve always wondered what happens to the Russian offensive when this drags into winter.

    At they going to be beaten by the only tactic that saved their asses from the French and then the Germans?

    I don’t think anyone is counting Ukraine out, save for the Russian indoctorates around here.

    As far as the west… pending some pro-Russian shill finding a place of power (again, God forbid) I don’t see any reason countries like the US wouldn’t just keep sending aid to Ukraine. It mires Russia down while sanctions rot them from within, and all the US has to do is donate military hardware worth a rounding error of their annual military budget.

    Europe is in a tighter spot with their energy dependence, but they’re progressively lessening that, and that’s a market share that progressively dwindles for Russia and won’t return the longer Russia insists on dragging this along.

    In essence, the longer Russia does this, the more the rest of the works leaves them behind. NATO has already all but gained two members on Russia’s doorstep, so their little crusade to “scare others away from nato” has already demonstrably failed.

    Reality is that short of a nuclear strike, this is all that Russia is capable of.

    No one invades with a “we’ll go easy and drag out the war, so we can lose more soldiers and look like idiots”
