I’m just showing these comments I saw earlier, which were interesting. Since it is true, that we’ve been hearing that “Russia is cornered”, since the invasion started. I personally just want this shit to end.

These comments are relating to an article from this week.

I wonder if we will ever know what truly happens on the ground (i.e. when it comes to casualties and many other things)

    It’s so nice to see so many people so concerned for Ukrainian lives and how they are lost fighting Russia.

    I wonder how all of you imagine Ukraine fighting back without even this limited western help. How would this look like and what kind of casualty rate would you expect as Russia would profil their fantasies of removing Ukrainian culture and erasing their nation from history?

    Because let me tell you, that doesn’t sound a very peaceful plan and certainly Ukraine is having non of it. Helping them with everything we can seem a way more peaceful plan. But hey, that’s just me, I not a deranged putinist jerking off on his picture like some people here, so I might have a different view.

      When you invent reality, you can argue for anything and have it be incontestable.

      Russia wants nothing of the sort. If you’re not some sad troll but actually believe Russia has “fantasies of removing Ukrainian culture” etc, you are so deluded it’s disgusting. It was Ukraine that has been attempting to ethnically cleanse people of Russian heritage that is mostly what kicked this whole conflict off. Russia has been making sure civilians have a corridor to safety while the Ukrainians have been openly talking about purging the population of Crimea if it were able to take it from Russia (which they can’t, not even in their wildest “fantasies.”)

      Russia has wanted to negotiate reasonable peace terms since the beginning of the war, but it has been repeatedly scuttled by NATO/Ukraine, most famously when Boris Johnson intervened to make sure peace did not happen.

      All of that is the reality of the situation, but the propagandists and those who ate up all their lies like to project the crimes and failures of their own masters onto their enemy, and we end up with the mirror world that this sorry know-nothing fool believes in.

          My favorite bit of Bandera trivia, is when people say he eventually turned on Hitler and was imprisoned, they don’t say why.

          Bandera simply wanted his own Fascist republic and to do away with the undesirables in a Ukrainian way. Hitler basically told him to fuck off and kept his troops in Ukraine, and Bandera was like surprised-pika as he was put in a camp. After that, the group he had previously led continued to massacre 35k-80k Poles.

          Literally the two worst people you know poking eachother in the eye and trying to garner sympathy.
