Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Saradain]

Woops, that's weeks rations down the drain. Bad slip up for him.

Give him a break, he has to work overtime already to be able to afford some bread given how fast russian economy is going down the drain!

[Shalcker]

In Russian way I bet it is. You count how many food packs you got for the civvies, and then shell/shoot them until their number match the food packs you got for them. Harder to do with armed troops, ones own too.

That would take unbelievable level of coordination and recon when you can just do another drive across the border to deliver more as you run out.

[Hansworst]

Poor Russian soldiers. According to Shillcker they are providing food to Ukrainian refugees. The soldiers however can starve.

[dextersmith]

It is easier to supply civilians then frontline troops; and Russia still has entire country right across the border.

How do you think Ukraine can take care of their citizens? In many cases Russian aid has to travel less.

Seems like wishful thinking when they can't get supplies in to feed their own troops or continue their advance.

[Easo]

Official losses of the "Donetsk People's Republic", each first line are military, each second - civilians. As you can see it is bloody - direct result of trying to break through the most fortified region in Ukraine (Kiev had 8 years to build fortifications) + trying to take Mariupol. Last numbers - total since the start of civil war:

This thread isn't for the war in Yemen, this thread is about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Putin could end the war any time he wanted, he just has to give the order.

You know very well it does not work like that, even though technially it's possible. Genie is out of the bottle, everything is viewed through that prism.

I'd love for all wars to stop. Just wishing for it isn't going to make it true.

Zelensky could also surrender tomorrow and Putin would have no reason to keep fighting, if we're talking about "one-man decision" hypotheticals.

Biden could also say "NATO withdraws" as Russia asked and war wouldn't happen.

Scholtz could either put "No Ukraine in NATO" in writing or pressure Zelensky to implement Minsk; this didn't happen either.

Zelensky himself could implement Minsk, even with danger from radicals and resistance in Rada; didn't happen.

Lots of things that could happen that would either prevent or stop this war didn't.

Oh, no no. He renounced human rights as irrelevant. No breaks.

[uuuhname]

Putin is now claiming the west/rest of the world wants to "cancel" Russia the same way they cancelled JK Rowling because she, like Russia, is "gender critical".

all bigots are the same, regardless of what country they come from. and it really should give pause to the likes of Rowling and her fans, but I'm doubtful. for some reason.

Why should an innocent defender surrender?

[dextersmith]

Yes, that would be lovely if wars would stop all around the world.

Sadly just wishing for it isn't going to make it true.

You should have used a sarcasm emojie and evil laugh.

It would in this case. Putin could just leave.

Other wars are not relevant in this thread. Please post constructively.

[Saradain]

Oh, no no. He renounced human rights as irrelevant. No breaks.

Well he is posting like a true russian - quantity, not quality. Until a slip-up and forum vacation. The amount he is collecting should end up in a perma one and that alone would end 95% of the propaganda

Why should an innocent defender surrender?

Let's go one step further with this logic. Why should an innocent defender surrender, when they're doing so well? Have you see those Russian casualty numbers? The MOD just said they've lost 194,000,000 troops and 54 bazillion tanks. I can't post it here, it'd probably be blocked if I did and you wouldn't be able to see it, but that's what they said. I just watched the briefing.

You should have used a sarcasm emojie and evil laugh.

Oh shit, right. Um.../s was it?

You forgot the most obvious one from your list:

Russia stops being rogue terrorist state, and officially disbands itself. Oh my, so many problems solved.

when you can just do another drive across the border to deliver more as you run out.

Aren't the supply lines still fucked? Soldiers dealing with frostbite because they didn't have proper winter gear? Lack of food so Russian soldiers are stealing from civilians?

No you don't.

NATO isn't involved, no matter how hard the russians whine about it they are not involved.
What happened is: Russia invaded a democratic and sovereign nation.

[Shalcker]

Why should an innocent defender surrender?

To stop the war, obviously.

Do you want war?

Noone should.

[Breccia]

Biden could also say "NATO withdraws" as Russia asked and war wouldn't happen.

Conjecture. And shaky conjecture, at that. Also, if Putin has such a problem with Biden, why didn't he attack America? Putin attacking Ukraine because of Biden would be like Putin fucking your mother in the ass because he thought she was your father.

[Shalcker]

So many things that could happen still aren't happening.

[Saradain]

Do you want war?

Noone should.

And why the aggressor who attacked without basis should not stop the war?

Why is it the responsebility of the defender who wants to survive?
