By all western accounts (might as well say most credible) Ukraine is without a doubt winning this war, there is no denying how substantial the Russian losses have been not just in sheer numbers of those killed on the frontlines but even more so those who have been impacted by the western imposed sanctions which can be removed if Russia removes themselves from occupied Ukraine. I think there have been 14 million Russian deaths as a result of this war and only 4000 Ukrainian deaths - that number includes victims of war (may they rest in peace).

I just want the hexbears to enlighten me - they make bold claims but never follow up with any sources, they constantly repeat the same whataboutisms without acknowledging material reality around them, you can keep retracting your arguments anytime you are proven wrong but this playdoh act can only go so far - if you “”communists”” (hate typing that word) actually had an ounce of care for humanity, wouldn’t you be opposed to the Ruzzian invasion of a sovereign nation such as Ukraine? Let me paint a picture for you - you children might understand this more if I speak in your terms:

If you claim Israel (which is a real country by all historical accounts), that they have no right to be on alleged stolen Palestine land… why do you not come to the same conclusion when it comes to Russia and Ukraine? Oh, another example, why would you not vote Biden who is by no means a great candidate but by choosing not to vote you allow a fascist (antithesis of communists) into power? Don’t you think you have a moral obligation to vote out fascism every time?

I don’t know, though- I’m just a person on the interweb- my opinions are correct and backed by the smartest minds in the west, I do not have to listen to any of you so don’t expect much engagement from me in the comments - thanks!

    There are two entire army groups marching on Berlin as we speak, within days from this comment there’ll be a flag raised over the Reichstag symbolizing the liberation of the world from fascism

    Ukraine was mean to the people of Donbas. If China decided to liberate homeless people from California or wageslaves from another part of the world, or chattel slaves from anywhere then I’d applaud them. Israel is being mean to Palestinians, so I wouldn’t want them to succeed in continuing to be mean. Joe is not meaningfully less mean than Trump in any metric that I care about.

    Wow, I’ve never seen such pro-russia propaganda. 14 million dead? Are you kidding me?

    The entire country is walking undead, risen by the dark arts of communism, and you would know that if you weren’t entrenched in your commie bubble.

    Has anyone else just not followed this war at all?

    I have no fucking clue what’s going on from a tactical standpoint. People were talking about bakmut or something for, like, ever?

    I don’t know. It just feels like following the particulars is really pointless for me.

      The whole thing kind of feels like it would be a “I am not informed enough on regional history to have an opinion on this” thing for me if not for the US and their glorified lackies, who I despise, trying to butt in so hard

      I wish I had - two years down the drain that I’ll never get back, thanks Joe, you old demented fuck.

      Then again it was absolutely glorious/baffling/just couldn’t stop to watch NATO and the West entangling itself in this mess and lose to Putin’s Russia. Just… being alive while history is made, you have to watch and marvel, right?

      Maybe should have stopped after Afghanistan. DEFINITELY should stop after Kyiev falls. Probably want to watch when Tel Aviv falls.

        Are we ever going to find out why Russia put an entire army on a single highway, then slowly drove towards kiev for days?

        The fact that Russia didn’t win the war in a week, and that all the equipment and advisers NATO can send is barely on par with Russia’s refurbished leftovers from the USSR is just baffling.

          This happened in every war since mechanization. Google “Sedan traffic jam 1940”, it happened to the goddamn Wehrmacht in the OG Blitzkrieg. Largest traffic in history, maybe.

          Lately we have the US stuck Nasiriyah for days until they sorted out the situation. Don’t blame this on Ruzzia because of some Putler insanity. Kiev was threatened right from the first day when the VDV took Hostomel.

            I don’t expect strategic genius from the US or nazi germany.

            Isn’t the whole thing about soviet military strategy since WWII about not getting bogged down by rivers, aircraft, defensive positions, etc so they could create/exploit holes in the enemy’s lines?

          They were invading as a bluff originally.

          This almost worked, until NATO flew in and promised unlimited support to regain the eastern territories.

          Unfortunately, Zelensky believed those lies.
