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.

They need to teach this in international policy classes.

So NATO is off-limits in the DnD thread (unless you're thirsting for their weapons) and if you say anything even remotely critical of Russia in here you get dogpiled by a bunch of tryhard doompilled retards

Is there anywhere on this godforsaken site to discuss the war with people who aren't brain damaged?

Biden thinks he can’t send weapons to a country that is defending itself from foreign aggression? because of laws?

this is somehow the first time in American history that laws would prevent the Us from send weapons to someone.

what a bunch of spineless libs. they are literally scared of Russia.

im having trouble parsing how sending the ukrainians weapons now is escalatory but sending them weapons for the few months before the invasion actually happened was just a nothingburger russia was being whiny about

Ukraine is Luke Skywalker, Russia is the Emperor, and NATO Darth Vader but the good version from the end of return of the Jedi. Poland is Han Solo, Chewbacca is Germany (kind of useless but would be cool if they did something for a change), and England is Princess Leia because they're important but also into some freaky inbred kissing.

There were arms build ups before, this one was larger but that on its own isn’t enough. I would say Putin’s intentions were only clear later.

Granted, I am not surprised the Russians would be willing to take losses for a political objective and I thought the mud thing was kind of dumb. I mean Ukraine isn’t just a giant mud pile or just a sheet of ice or whatever.
It is more “is he going to pull the trigger or not” and the quality of US intelligence was generally very poor, so no one knew really what believe until he was about to pull the trigger.

It was quite a bluff to be sure since it is kind of an insane conflict when you get down to it.

Pretty much

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.

Zelensky’s big issue is that he was elected as a moderate, and once he couldn’t follow through on Minsk 2, his popularity became to erode. If anything the more he pushed toward the nationalist side, the more his popularity suffered because a healthy chunk of his supporters were Russian speaking. Ukrainian neutrality really can’t last because there is too much internal/external pressure to end it even though most of the population would probably prefer it.

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.

This is why the great man bullshit flowing around Putin's diseases or posture or birth sign is silly. Russian's position is incredibly clear. Nato bad, pipeline good, and donbass settled. Don't drag into moral lenses on those objectives good or bad but it's all straightforward. Putin's personality is irrelevant.

On the other hand, what is the US objective behind the last month? Did they actually think their position strong enough that Putin would hesitate to invade even though the US clearly stated they wouldn't stop it? Did they intentionally want Russia to invade so they could open up a proxy conflict? I dunno
