He's not challenging Putin's threats, he's flirting with Putin's ceasefire terms (although trying to do so from a position of whatever strength he can muster.) He acknowledges that he's not getting the guarantees from NATO that he thought he would and is inviting Russia to do better.

i am a moron posted:Agreed. And that age range is insane, what’s a 60 year old man gonna do? Just let them flee Drive a truck? Wash laundry? Do simple paperwork? There are a lot of support tasks in military. But mostly I think it's just that government is working under pressure and can't spend days pondering where to draw the line so it has to be arbitrary.

I don’t known what promises and assurances were made to him privately, but obviously he’s not getting the support he expected.

coelomate posted:Yes, and "proportional response" and escalations are really important when escalation chains end with nuclear weapons. It's really important that things hurt, options stay on the table, off ramps are presented, etc. Crafting these responses must be incredibly tense. That’s allowing the other party to negotiate your terms for you. Have you ever done negotiations of any kind? You have to know what your “walk away” points are. If they are closer than your opponents, then you either accept you don’t have sufficient leverage at the table or you adjust. The US and EU need to be in total lock step, Russia will have zero international economic activity, and anyone who wants access to the US market cannot do business with Russia. This is obviously a pretext for Russia to overreact and allow substantial US intervention. The US and EU apparently have to be reminded that you cannot appease strongmen. They must be stopped unequivocally by force of arms. If sanctions worked than why haven’t we seen regime change in North Korea or Iran? Russia is a rogue state led by a KGB madman whose time has passed. Anyone that supports Russia and its propaganda machine are craven bootlickers.

This exactly what I said he should have been doing weeks ago in the EE thread. The man either was given a bad cheque by the West and told to stand firm, or has no political acumen and thought that Putin would actually back down. A tragic shame either way.

If everything that I have been reading about the Ukrainian airforce over the last 24 hours is true then I have to say that for an airforce that probably no longer exists they did one hell of a job with what they had.

Rad Russian posted:That's everyone in Russia right now. Either you're the USA equivalent of QAnon and only watch specific news and ignore everything else, or you actually welcome other perspectives and views. Your pro-war neighbor might only be seeing Russia liberating children from Ukraine nazi concentration camps, while you're anti-war and watching Ukrainian people fighting to the death defending their homes. Both of you will consider the other one a fascist supporter at the same time. To be fair, this seems to be happening world-wide. Russia may have been first in line with all this though due to obvious historical context.

I assume that they'll just try to take another airport in the next day or so, but it's a big deal that they could not secure hostomel. Russian plan was to have transports pouring equipment and personnel into it at this point, so that's a big hold. Also very much would not want to be a tanker with orders to drive hundreds of miles across hostile territory in ukraine right now. driving onto and off of a plane seems like a hugely better deal than that

Interesting point about Kyiv is that it has a 52-station subway system, including the deepest station in the world. Kharkiv has 30 stations. Dniepro has 6. These are great defensive structures. To my knowledge, we haven’t had a modern urban engagement with such an extensive tunnel system. The Berlin subway ran until 1945, allowing the city to function despite bombings. It was finally disabled by flooding - suspected but never proven sabotage. Warsaw did not have a subway system, but its extensive canal network was heavily used by partizans.
