      Pretty much, and it’s such a ghoulish mentality where they’re willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people’s lives to score some geopolitical win against Russia. These people are absolutely monstrous and they never gave a shit about the actual people living in Ukraine.

    Lol, what the dude said and the headline are completely different 😂. The commander has a seemingly level headed take that there might very well be a stalemate, but the headline is so out of whack.

    Luka said that Ukraine is begging to be annihilated by Russia . He knows more than Alexander Khodakovsky .

      It’s also worth noting that what Khodakovsky is actually saying in his post is that Ukraine is not a stable country, and Russia just has to wait for western support to start drying up.

          why the people of the donbas didn’t appeal to the UN to establish independence

          They did. No country outside of South Ossetia, itself an unrecognized country, recognized their independence. Sadly not even Cuba did when specifically asked. Yes that means Russia also didn’t. Despite significant internal pressure to do that (most significantly, by the communist party), Putin and Russian government hoped for peaceful resolution by the Minsk agreements. This turned out to be mistake since both west and Ukraine never intended to honor those agreements but used them to arm up Ukraine. Between 2014 and 2022 international situation changed significantly though, Ukraine buildup for the all out invasion of Donbas finally forced Russian govt to decide, either join the war or just watch as Donbas is massacred (and potentially risk political instablity in crucial time since it would be incredibly unpopular move which could easily lead to lose nationalist support for govt).

              I can’t see why Russia committed mass murder on civilian population.

              They didn’t. Civilian losses are very low in that war, UN estimated it for around 10000 dead (for both sides). Compare it to when US Shock and Awe any country and kill milllions. Russia is incredibly restrained as far as the modern warfare goes.

                  Expected? By whom? Liberals seems to expect millions because they as usual projected the US army standard. I said America not because some kind of dreaded whataboutism or deflections, i used that example because as foremost warmonger on the planet they do set up the standard of contemporary warfare, which is to bomb everything, drone weddings, burn cities with white phosphorus, poison the earth and people with defoliants and depleted uranium, drop millions of bombs that kill people even decades later… yet no one else except their puppets seem to even want to get close to that standard. And look, they are sending the same shit to Ukraine.
