Couple of amusing articles today.
Ukraine reverts back to Soviet tactics after realising the American way of war only works when napalming Vietnamese children or carpet bombing defenseless Iraqi villages:
And last March (prior to the US and UK sabotaging the peace deal Ukraine agreed to on the basis of "we'll destroy the Russian economy by the summer!"), a US official said Western sanctions would cut the Russian economy in half. This week, the IMF yet again raised its forecast for Russia's economic growth to 1.5%, higher that the majority of Western European nations:
It's almost like sabotaging the peace deal and leading to around 250,000 more Ukrainian deaths was a catastrophically stupid decision, but hey, that doesn't mean Biden, Nuland, Sullivan and co are gonna abandon Project Ukraine* any time soon!
(* Project Ukraine = "Throw Ukraine at Russia. It doesn't matter how many Ukrainians die so long as we take down some Russians too")
> "The peace deal" = give us your country and we will not murder you. Yeah, some deal.
Oh look, a Westerner who has absolutely no idea what the terms of the peace deal were. It's almost like there's no amount of shit your media can pump you with such that you'll ever get full.

I do laugh at how Dave mentions these Ukrainian deaths like he's sad about them. Of course, it's those evil Westerners who are to blame for all of this death, not the government that's actually shooting at and bombing them. The west forced Putin to invade Ukraine and continues to force him to keep killing them. :(

"It is literally impossible for Ukraine to win this war without NATO intervention. Nevertheless, we must continue to encourage Ukraine to fight this war without NATO intervention" - Svet.

It seems quite clear that if NATO went into Ukraine and killed Russians then NATO is no longer a defensive alliance and that it has essentially declared war against Russia.

And so, given that you yourself admitted that it is literally impossible for Ukraine to win this war without NATO intervention, no matter what "game-changing" weapons are sent to them, would should be the strategy?

The intervention Ukraine needs is ammo and more high tech weapons. So far, it seems to be keeping Russian orks from fully taking over. I wish the west would supply more weapons and more quickly including long range weapons and f16s.

I think there are many in nato that believe this was a mistake but they probably felt that they couldn't sit back and allow genocide in Europe. Also, yugoslavia isn't a nuclear power.

And if the West does this, Ukraine will win the war, yes?
Great strategy. And what's genuinely terrifying for the Ukrainian people is that this is literally the only idea the West has. "Let's just hope and see what happens!" There is no strategy, there is no coherent goal, there is no plan, only "Let's see what happens when a country with no manpower superiority, no air superiority and no artillery superiority tries to inflict a military defeat on the world's biggest nuclear power!"
> Maybe if you post this another 600 times he will agree with you
He already does agree with me. Svet himself has acknowledged that Ukraine cannot win this war without direct NATO intervention. Nevertheless, he thinks the war should continue without direct NATO intervention.
Again: literal insanity. And what's terrifying is, the Western politicians who hold Ukraine's fate in their hands are every bit as insane.
> Why don't you tell me why Putin invaded Ukraine then.
Putin has told you in very plain language a thousand times why he invaded (the 4 goals of the 'SMO'). That's what makes it so frustrating when the Western media continues to peddle the retarded narrative of "Putin hates Ukrainians and wants to rebuild the Soviet Union!"
18 months into this war and we STILL have people like you asking why it started.
Fools!! Don't Americans realise that if the 2nd most corrupt oligarchy in Europe loses this war, global freedom will end?? No democracy in Kiev = no democracy in Kansas! It's just logic.

Just imagine if he turned out to be right. All those Russian soldiers who raped Ukrainian women and feel guilt free and justified

If a Russian soldier won't trade his limited food to a ukranian woman without getting some affection in return, he's a "rapist" even though she could keep walking and try her luck elsewhere.
But when the west provokes a war sending refugees west, and those women set up a tinder and onlyfans to survive in the expensive western cities, that's not rape? She doesn't have a choice about the war, her fate is sealed. That is coercion.
> Just imagine if he turned out to be right. All those Russian soldiers who raped Ukrainian women and feel guilt free and justified
Remember in the first 2 months of this war your media was filled with ridiculous stories about Russian soldiers raping every Ukrainian woman and child they could find? And then all of a sudden, around June 2022, those stories abruptly stopped? Because the Ukrainian minister responsible for disseminating all those stories, Ludmila Denisova, was fired by the Ukrainian government because she was found to be making them all up?

Remember also those halcyon days when the Western media actually reported on what a corrupt little maggot Zelenskiy (and his boss Kolomoiskiy) is, rather than the Last Great Defender of Global Freedom they've made him into today?
