>>546726While the whole Putler thing is way overblown: you don't employ missile strikes on cities with people in the subway system below when you want "minimal civilian casualties".
I'm sure that one of the plans was to just waltz in and steamroll everything, no proverbial shot fired, but that changed very quickly.
>>546728This whole thing seems to have put a spin on that. That's the real milestone out of all of this: primary (re-)militarization of NATO countries.
>>546746if Putin goes "Ok sorry everything back to status quo k?" he will look extremely weak.
Kiev is about to fall, hell if he wanted he could take it in 2 days, do it and force them to surrender.
>>546731>>546742You know, the Ukranian government can surrender any time and solve things diplomatically. Instead of forbidding the exit of males 18-60 from he country and enacting forced conscription. They have chosen otherwise which, hey, maybe NATO can support the morale with propaganda and weapons, but that's the Ukrnaian government essentially deciding every Ukranian citizen must die before the west loses it's puppet.
So yeah Ukranians got a great deal with the Euromaidan huh?
>>546748You do realize Russians can't airstrike everything because lack of PGMs makes any approach incredibly dangerous? Ukraine is filled with stringers now so you can't just fly in with your su-25
Russia doesn't have capabilities NATO had in Afganistan or serbia
>>546741I don't know what to tell you man. Its a warzone but its a city. People are going for food, visiting family, going to the hospital, renting a laserdisc from BlockBuster video.
But you might want to switch over to Cricket Wireless to stand in solidarity.
>>546752I am concerned but I cant tread them as noble states worth considering.
Of cause Ill ramp up resistance where I live, literally the center of this beast.
>>546751Reminds of anti soviet warrior Osama. I haven’t watched Novara in the last week because I can’t bare to see them. No the whole of Ukraine isn’t azov but they are more significant than the BBC want you to think an they are the main beneficiaries of western military backing.
The bbc is my least favourite news outlet bar none. They can all get pitted
>>546761Fuck no, the EU still went a long with everything, even if they didn't send in the whole cavalry. I'm just worried about how far they'll go now.
For a brief window in modern history, Europe was sliding towards the dove. That's all gone now, the clock set back.
>>546725Seems dubious as fuck tbh, you would surely be fucked shooting a fellow soldier in front of hundreds of other soldiers, and just because they tried to stop you shooting some random civilian? Then the other woman survived? So it was worth shooting another soldier in front of hundreds of people who have a non-zero chance of killing you for it, but then you let the woman they're with go?
Is it just me?
