Russia has penetrated Ukraine

[BigRo]

So you don't really know.

What am I...God? Does God even know?

"Our estimates of losses
We find that Russian personnel losses have outpaced Ukrainian personnel losses, with expected loss numbers of 76,687 and 17,223 respectively, as of 23 February 2023. The ratio of casualties to death for Russia and Ukraine are 3:1 and 5:1, respectively. Higher casualty ratios are indicative of better survival rates because they mean fewer wounded soldiers are dying.

Higher casualty ratios are indicative of better survival rates because they mean fewer wounded soldiers are dying

Importantly, we find that Russian and Ukrainian equipment losses are often comparable by category. For example, the expected losses of tanks for Russia and Ukraine are 3,380 and 2,051, respectively."

Taken from EPCR Political science blog. I believe the death figures on both sides to be substantially higher.

Western Official Finally Comes Clean About NATO Expansion

https://original.antiwar.com/ted_galen_carpenter/2023/09/25/one-western-official-finally-comes-clean-about-nato-expansion/

In a September 6, 2023 speech to the European Union Parliament, Secretary General Stoltenberg contradicted the entrenched official narrative, most likely inadvertently. “President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade (sic) Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.”

Stoltenberg emphasized, “He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.” Consequently, “he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.”

I am not sure showing a video of a bombed hotel in Odessa really helps the public image of your "righteous cause".

There are rules but Russia does not care for them. Is this really the right way to make your hopefully conquered people love you?

Why did the Ukrainian military murder civilians in Eastern Ukraine from 2014 onward? You act like the other side doesn't have any dirty laundry. Americans have committed all kinds of atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

That hotel was being used by mercenaries and NATO. It deserved to be bombed.

Team Putin!!

Did the Allies take prisoners on D-Day?
Historian Peter Lieb has found that many U.S. and Canadian units were ordered not to take enemy prisoners during the D-Day landings in Normandy.

No one follows the rules of engagement

lol that hotel was being used by NATO? what tosh. Didn't you know Russia rains down missiles all over Ukraine with no regard to where they land? Many fly over the head of the mother of my girlfriend on the way to Lviv in west Ukraine.

Russia started the fighting in Donbass in 2014 because they invaded. That there was a genocide as a pretext for this full scale invasion is false;

&t=449s

Bucha is a striking example of Russia's "denazification" methods;

Team Putin? You sound like a cheerleader.

Ronan, its called war

We levelled Dresden in WW2 with firebombs killing tens of thousands of civilians in a single night

[BigRo]

Men should fight like men not shoot defenceless woman after raping them. There is no justification for it, and it is not a team I would want to be on. The only reason Ukraine started sending drones in to Russia is because they were sick of being bombed day and night.

What the allies did to Dresden was wrong.

JP is right on this, check the vid

JP is always right, in his own head, and in the heads of his worshippers. Dude is just recovering from a serious addiction and is back sprouting away. We are not all nazis capable of the worst atrocities. This kind of talk is just a modern version of Christianity's "we are all sinners", whereas now JC as been replaced by JP.

Yes very true the Ukrainians are no different to the Russians to think
or believe they're more ethical or decent is just silly - time & time again
the horrors of war & what happens to many civilians is common knowledge

History has taught us we are.

Oscar Schindler only had a change of heart once the war was almost over, he saved around 1200 people

Oh and he had them working in his ammunition factories that were making bombs for Germany to drop on allied targets

He was responsible for the deaths of far more people than he saved.
