FuzzySlippers posted:In retrospect it is a lot easier to predict an invasion when you refuse to budge on anything of note and publicly state repeatedly you won't intervene militarily. Russia likely gave them a deadline confidentially, the more I think about it, or the wargames and military posture clearly signalled one. Zelensky didn’t know what would happen when the clock ran out, NATO did, and they kept encouraging him while pulling everyone out.

OhFunny posted:The Russians didn't install a puppet government in Georgia after the 08 War. I don't see why they would do so here. Ukraine is simply more important and the issue of NATO membership will constantly be popping up. Georgia has just kept its head down but Ukraine is simply too critical for both sides to ignore. Also, Russia has gone this far and honestly this is shaping up to be a much more extreme conflict. In the case of Georgia, some of it just things have also worked out so far but it is still a hanging issue especially if the previous government ever got back in power. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 01:54 on Feb 25, 2022 |

Southpaugh posted:OK so what happened over the last 18 hours? Russia has made some territorial gains, particularly in the south, but the air assault around Kyiv was repulsed. But considering Ukraine is doing poo poo like arming random civilians and Zelensky is making some real doomer statements, things probably aren't going great for them.

FuzzySlippers posted:It's pointless to try moralizing great power politics. It's all awful end to end. All of them are bad and doing terrible things across the globe. Trying to find unique villains is falling for someone's propaganda and is inevitably overlooking some other great power's culpability in creating the situation.

Cpt_Obvious posted:Didn't the gas deal with the Germans fall through before the invasion start it? That feels like it could have caused a "gently caress it, nothing left to lose" calculation from Putin. Yeah it seemed like Ukraine/NATO just flipped the table yesterday so I dunno what was left to haggle over. No NS2, no minsk 2, and nato membership non negotiable. I know Zelensky was in a difficult position since he'd face coup/assassination so he may have had his eyes more on domestic politics and thought this could blow over.

Ardennes posted:A lot of it that us (the general public) didn’t have much to go on so you sort of had to trust that the US wasn’t just gaming the situation. In hindsight, a lot of the certainty in US statements seems pretty loving ominous in terms of knowing what would happen when time expired and letting it get there deliberately.

Donbass is like Harry Potter, who was abused by the Dursleys (Ukraine) for many years. And finally, he received a letter from Hogwarts (Russia), in which Dumbledore (Putin) recognizes him as a wizard (Russian) and sends Hagrid (the Russian army) after him.
