Russia has penetrated Ukraine

[OAK]

Russia agreed to withdraw from Cuba. Had they not WW3 might very well have resulted.

The US has not agreed to stop intervening in Ukraine. They have sent billions in military aid which just proves that Russia was right with their military operations. Treasonous US politicians like Lady Lindsey Graham actually called for the assassination of Russia's leader.

The US NEVER attacked Cuba.

Russia DID attack Ukraine.

You don’t understand the difference?

The USA would have attacked Cuba had things only marginally escalated from where they were left off though.

But sure, OAK - you'd be correct to say that the comparison isn't perfectly analogous though.

However, I feel they are pretty close.

In both cases Russia was pure EVIL.

Communists will believe otherwise.

So specifically, what reasons did Putin give for starting this war?

Helping the people in the Donbass from genocide by bringing genocide on tren.
Demilitarization of Ukraine, preventing the country from ever being able to defend itself against invasion.
Denazification...Bucha style.
Ukraine is really Russia, and needs to be re-educated and reabsorbed in to the motherland,  its distinct culture erased and replaced with proper Russian history books.

Russian Spetsnas captured NATO UAV (Black Hornet) in Ukraine, 1 of those mini size drones costs $ 230K , complete dron set + $ 1 million !. 

What next: Russian soldier captures bullet using head!

Trump was outsmarted by the Deep State Mafia and he did not understand what he was up against.

In his defence, he could be outsmarted by a potato and he doesn’t understand much beyond lying and whining.

Sort of what we all do here daily, to argue "our side" though no one is "right"...

So what was the basis of this war from Putin's perspective?

There are the reasons Putin gave and the reasons that are rational from a geopolitical point of view.

I recommend listening to Peter Zeihan's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast but on a nutshell:

Securing a crucial flank against Nato, turning Ukraine into a buffer zone like it has been for ages (obviously)

An aged, diseased population that has been seriously shrinking for decades meaning they must absorb other populations to solve their demographic problems (hence the massive abductions of Ukrainian children). Without this, Russia is finished as a country by 2070 at the latest without a single shot fired due to total demographic collapse. 2022 (according to Zeihan, always) is the last year they had enough males in their 20s to even attempt an invasion.

Denying Ukraine the massive undeveloped energy resources of the Black Sea ensuring they will never compromise Russian's status as an energy superpower.

Russian farmland being among the least fertile, worst connected space in the world (roads are in terrible shape, they mostly have rail), so grabbing Ukraine's farmland is a massive boost.

The victors get to dictate who or what is evil. Only one winner here...

16 US Bradley infantry fighting vehicles have been destroyed, damaged, or abandoned in Ukraine in recent days, war monitor says, highlighting the cost of Ukraine’s counteroffensive

Sixteen US-provided Bradley infantry fighting vehicles have been lost or damaged in Ukraine in recent days, highlighting the military toll of the current counteroffensive, according to an open-source analysis.

The Dutch website Oryx, which tracks visual evidence of losses on both sides, documented five destroyed Bradleys and 11 that have been damaged and abandoned. The losses would amount to a sizable chunk of the 109 Bradleys that the US has committed to Ukraine, the first of which were confirmed as in use on the battlefield in April.

Pha. Yeh, sure. Sholtz will lose his job over this!

You live in a very interesting reality TK. Russia continues to lose ground, yet, in your world: winning. Russian economy is in the ditch, but No! Russia economy is so strong! Russia targets civilian infrastructure, Great Strategy!
