twoday posted:Putin is constantly clutching at his table and leaned backed in his chair because he can no longer control his hands, his posture has gotten worse and worse over the last five years and he's clearly suffering from Parkinson's disease. He knows his life is ticking away regardless kf everything else, so he literally does not give a poo poo anout anything anymore. So he's going all out, rebuildjng the empire, whatever. Imagine a russian who is nihilistic as well would you consider putin's shaking a symptom of the bacille calmette-guerin tb vaccine?

Comparing Russia occupying Ukraine to Americans occupying Iraq or Afghanistan is pretty dumb. 0% of Iraqis considered themselves American when we invaded. We didn't share a border. We didn't speak the language.

Tankbuster posted:The russian demand was simply that ukraine stick to the Minsk 2 accords and create a federalised system of government. Ukraine went the other way and tried to saber rattle with western backing. Sure, in theory that's what happened, but here's what really happened: Zelensky: Hey, you guys will have our back right? NATO: What? No. gently caress no! Zelensky: Awesome. There's no way we can lose.

wasn't there some article back when the last time russia did an oopsies that pointed out he's just basically a strain of russian nationalist that's been agitating over the need of secure buffers or whatever and that domestically he couldn't exactly just look like a dumb bitch that backed down at the idea of the a western proxy making rude gestures over a river it doesn't seem that hard to come up with petty reasons for all this, if you just imagine russia is america, lol

Ukraine is not a neo-Nazi state, stop posting blatant idiocy. The Azov Battalion exists but their only influence seems to be in getting Western media photo ops. The UK has as many Nazis and I'd rather we didn't get invaded in response. That doesn't justify this invasion remotely. I'm not sure anything short of Ukraine actually invading Donbass would, this is pretty much a pre-emptive strike.

I think Zelensky was more concerned with not getting assassinated or coup'd. So much of international politics is just performing for points in domestic politics until some real poo poo starts.

We didn't share a border. We didn't speak the language. It's obviously not apples to apples. But the whole shock and awe missile strikes leading to sage conclusions of a quick victory same day is a bit on the nose. That and the Ukraine is a nazi country therefore the slaughter that comes with an occupation is totes ok smells of "What part of Sadam is a bad guy do you not get". I'll take all of the internet shame if I'm wrong, but this war will kill a lot of innocent people, it will result in tremendous violence, and a total cluster gently caress and any suggestions things are going to be over by months end are smooth brained and wrong.

Their tanks, field artillery, and other combat support service stuff is apparently just for photo ops and not symptomatic of systemic support eh.

Ukraine was already in the Donbas republics territory and refused to pull out, they had a day where they could have agreed to withdraw from the separatist territory but didn’t, added to the fact that Zelensky said they might seek nuclear arms. doesn’t seem very pre-emotive

Russian forces seem to be advancing pretty steadily from the east without much resistance visible. https://twitter.com/ragipsoylu/status/1496740663592771587 Survivors from the airforce are bringing their planes to neutral countries https://twitter.com/Guderian_Xaba/status/1496741180276678656?s=20&t=n1EyppYe0oTJ6_iRYSeZjQ There is no reason to suggest this is going to go any different than the very quick intial operation predicted (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2022-02-21/russias-shock-and-awe). What comes after is hard to say.
