I like this theory. It explains why Putin's full scale mobilization was so late.

So Russia tried to sneak in Ukraine at night and do some special force ninja stuff with *not special force but regular untrained troops*, tried to back out with some face saving political settlement (which would also secure Putin's next election); but mastermind grandpa Biden saw an opportunity "to put Russia down permanently", triggered the financial war nuclear option; 2 months later, the whole world found out financial war nuclear weapon was really not that deadly. LOL what a clown show.

yeah it'd be nice to know which factions actually wanted *this*. Because if it keeps going we're going to reach millions dead and I want to know who was down for this and who was just stupid as gently caress.

“Hey let’s use reservists as a spooky threat to force negotiations, I am sure that will end the war!”

yeah lets be clear here, this threads failing was not believing Russia could gently caress this up so much. It's now obvious that something is very wrong beyond just normal issues within dictatorships.

This is different to certain groups who were always confident in Ukraine's victory because Ukraine is the new great white hope of Europe and full of politically tattooed ubermen.

i'm surprised they haven't already found lots of mass graves already, full of Russian collaborators that were murdered by crazed Russians in fury at having to retreat

Since we're likely to get a lot of posting around possible warcrimes as Ukraine retakes the city, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that posting gleefully about civilians possibly being murdered is not allowed, regardless of which side of the conflict they may or may not have allegedly assisted on.

i don't think anyone here is going to be 'gleeful'. I'm not going to lie, i'm going to be very suspicious at any 'found' bodies after weeks of crowing about murdering collaborators.

Please explain to me how the material conditions imply russia could win given that the material conditions for Ukraine weapons wise is really good and they re-gained two thirds of everything they initially lost in this war. Also it looks like europe will be just fine this winter so there's no magic surrender europe is gonna do so now what.

What does 'europe will be just fine' mean? Why? How? As far as I know energy prices are still very high. Were you expecting like complete societal collapse? That comes in 2024 if this poo poo is still going.

Edit: Also Ukraine receiving weapons from nato is not a cheat code. Europe has already sent everything it can, and some things it couldn't. Even the US is having trouble. The reserves are empty. This conflict is a disguised war between NATO and Russia and neither side is in war economy mode and neither side is having an easy time of it.

I'll believe they're actually doing stuff when they start coming home in body bags.

If Russia was serious they'd hit any nato specialists they find. There's some weird poo poo going on in this conflict. Like when Boris and EU leaders kept just waltzing in to what was supposed to be an active war zone. So they must have been getting assurances. It's like everyone has some kind agreement except for Ukraine who is just having its population slowly ground up.

bad poo poo went down at bucha but i don't think it was because they sent the psycho murder squad that they seem to have for some reason? It was because soldiers are awful, in any army, and every time they are used is playing with fire. But that doesn't fit the western narrative which has to maintain the fiction of just wars, because the west will need to go gently caress somewhere up sometime and the people need to believe its good this time. When actually the more soldiers out there doing war things, its just a matter of time before warcrimes happen. If you win then it doesn't matter. If you're the hegemon you can lose and it still doesn't matter.

yeah the looting of Ukraine is a primary aim of the west, it's the one thing libs won't accept or even comprehend. So whatever finances are agreed upon have to revolve around the fact that Ukraine must be trimmed to the bone and turned into a looted neoliberal hell. Or as Boris Johnson put it, Europe's Dubai.
