No shit. Western training and equipment is not fit for purpose. Acting as a colonial cop by bombing with impunity ≠ attacking the strongest defensive lines of the 21st century. All their wunderwaffe just gets blown up by mines or drones.
Cannot wait to see how well this comment ages. All the Hexabear stuff is just comedy gold in the long run. Thank you for spending your life force creating it.
Can't imagine thinking commentary, wrong or right, about brutal trench warfare, could be comedy gold.
Yeah, Ukraine is really going to retake those two oblasts and Crimea. It will all be worth all the hundreds of thousands of lives thrown into the meatgrinder instead of honoring two ceasefires or negotiating a new ceasefire when that happens.
Real Hitler in his bunker energy, except instead of Hitler youre a nazi in some other country not directly involved coping about how Germany can still win.
Russia will never stop
They did stop. How do you think defensive lines are dug?
Terminal Marvelbrain
Zelenksy tried to surrender. Boris Johnson derailed those talks to keep the war going.
They've literally constantly offered offramps toward de-escalation. Two negotiated ceasefires were broken by ukrainian state backed militias in donbass before the war started.
But I've been told the Russian army is out of missiles and teetering on the brink of collapse again, now you're saying they're simultaneously a force capable of posing a realistic threat of invasion to...uh, the entire rest of the planet, apparently?
Are they like... Weak, and umm... Strong...? At the same time? I guess....?
Wait I think I heard this before.
Will you ever stop?
go fight them then.
You should volunteer if you think it's this important to fight Russia
Thousands of dead for no good reason is "comedy gold"?
Embarrassing
The people telling you Ukraine is winning are lying to you. They don't believe it. Ukraine doesn't have enough equipment or enough soldiers.
The Wests only hope is a Russian coup. They'll force every Ukrainian they can to die to try and make this happen. You cheer this death march on from the sidelines.
If you actually give a shit, go fight for Ukraine. If you don't have the courage to die with them, then you have no right to advocate for continuing this war.
How is the ghost of Kiev doing
Lmao 4 months in and this comment already didn't age very well, with even outlets like NYT starting to report the truth about Ukraine's offensives going terribly.
Also, I wouldn't call thousands of people dying for meaningless western imperialism/NATO expansion "comedy gold"
