It’s insane.

The Russian campaign was fought to prevent this by isolating the UKR Army from Kiev. They did a very good job of that too, which means there is no need for a battle there, the bulk of the Ukrainian Army is cut off.

The war has limited goals. Why this sudden turn to Götterdämmerung? Is it to strengthen their bargaining position for peace talks, or are they really intending to have their people and nation destroyed rather than sign Minsk?

Zelensky has been signaling that he's open to a negotiated peace, so if Russia believes (and cares) that Ukraine will fight to the last man they may be willing to accept something less than unconditional surrender. That's the only real reason I can see to it, so I hope it's just posturing.

out of all the governments in the world, the chinese seem to be the only ones actually trying to improve life for their citizens rather than exclusively divert public funds to billionaires while only really battling the public perception it generates. I guess there south and central American nations doing it as well but they're not great powers.

comparatively, china is better than any other great powers

it’s because they think if Americans and Europeans see piles of thousands of dead bodies on the street they’ll pressure their governments to intervene which as we all seen in Syria didn’t count for poo poo. at the end of the day western interests are western interests and human rights and civilians can go gently caress themselves. a single midwestern voter being pained by the pump is more important than a thousand crucified ukranians.

I was thinking the same thing, but the Russians never demanded unconditional surrender.

The west cheering this on is stupid and dangerous for the same reason cheering Zelensky on previously was. Grozny and Aleppo didn’t join NATO, so however much you’re celebrated, nothing will materially change from this course of action.

Idk, hopefully the Russians encircle, bypass and race to the Polish border, and knock out any organized military before having to consider an action against the armed mob. On the other hand, why give them time to dig in? Maybe they can force the city?

Maybe it came kitted that way.

Maybe it's Velcro.

Maybe it is a stock photo because it's hard to get that close to a weapons drop.

Maybe it's a stock photo and the whole thing is a giant propagandistic lie!!!???

Idk, Forbes and a bunch of other sources are reporting the same thing.
