Ok, so what if we carry out a campaign to starve the civilian population of Crimea and then launched a ground war in order to liberate them? Sounds good?

lmao its very funny, to me, that Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 with, what, a dozen deaths total? but in order to 'liberate' Crimea Ukraine needs to launch a full scale invasion

Where has the vaunted Ukrainian spirit of resistance and eagerness for gorilla war been for the last eight years in Crimea? We have a good idea of what a modern insurgency looks like based on Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, plus what a modern insurgency funded by hostile foreign powers looks like courtesy of Libya and Syria.

Given how much the Russians love genociding Ukrainians and how valiant the Ukrainian resistance is, where is the Crimean insurgency against the Russian slaughter factories that 100% exist?

Presumably Ukrainian guerillas are going to be foreign volunteers, because Ukrainians that are most likely to be guerillas are fighting on the frontline right now.

the answer you'll usually see is that the original population was already forcibly relocated so the current civilians are mostly occupiers. the answers to questions that follow that is where people say the really deranged stuff

you spent years of your life contributing to millions of deaths for money, and fifteen years later you're not sorry about it because you cleansed your soul working for less money afterwards. you are a monster. you get that right. that's monstrous.

I'd wager that "less money" is still many times the median wage for someone of that age too (if not significantly more than that)

I find that when people are vague about this stuff it's usually for a reason, because if they were actually making some modest amount of money like 30-40k or something they would have just said as much, instead of framing it relative to the (likely very high) military contractor pay.

So Russia casually relocated 2 million people with no major resistance from an isolated almost island over a single highway and nobody noticed?

The Russians are truly crafty opponents!

it's always fascinating to me how liberals will always tell people to deeply scrutinize all government narratives except for the american one, which as we all know, has never told a lie once in its entire history

i wonder if there's a specific term to describe this kind of selective animus, which always seems to be predominantly based on the race of the government in question

They think our propaganda is different because it's issued by "independent" news media organizations that aren't technically "state media"

It's pretty funny, given the vast majority of reporting by said "independent news organizations" is literally just some reporter quoting a US government/military official (or if they really want to be fancy, some NGO indirectly funded by the US government)

- cspam Ukraine thread: good at historic events, less good as current events, really bad at predicting future events.

Does that sound fair?

Actually we're excellent at history, good at current events and all predictions are ironic
