Russians make up about 17% of the population in Ukraine. Real peace won't happen until that number drops below 3%.🍿

Thomas Nelson25 said:Man, I wouldn't even go there as a tourist.

Even Russians don't want to wake up in Russia, let alone Ukrainians.

Putin sent kids to fight in Ukraine, and social media is absolutely flooded with photos and videos of young Russian soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces.
He wouldn't actually send his own

William Anderson5 said:From what I can see, this Russian army operates more like a disorganized group of amateurs.

The only way they manage to make any headway is through sheer, barbaric brute force backed by heavy weaponry...

He'd probably rather stay home and play PS4 than deal with Putin.

Kenneth Bennett2 said:The "normal" powers, you know, like the USA and NATO... look at Baghdad, Kabul, or Tripoli... just a bunch of countries that weren't threatening anyone and definitely never went looking for a fight with Hell itself.

You're stuck in the past. Ukraine is the main topic right now. It is in Europe, too.

rustywalker42 said:Nicely put.

Russia didn't really have a choice, did they? They had to launch that military operation in Ukraine.

They aren't that efficient; they can't just swap out all the street signs in Kyiv in three days. Ukraine was caught completely off guard by the Russians.

Turkey is a key NATO member, and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if an agitated Putin tries to force his way through with his fleet. Once he does, just shut down your computer and find a bunker to hide in.

Don't sweat it too much; gas prices would be the least of your worries.

loneviper4 said:And look, Putin actually brought this up during his speech the other day—you know, the one where he announced the "intervention" in Ukraine.

He claimed that back in 2000, he straight-up asked Clinton what he thought about Russia joining NATO. And apparently, Clinton just shut him down, saying something like that was totally off the table...

He should have spent that money on infrastructure instead. We should just get rid of all offensive weapons altogether.

Carol Newman2 said:That is a massive amount of financial support.

I just hope it doesn't arrive too late.

velvetmason14 said:Go check out the comment sections on major US news sites; you'll find everything from political rants to ridiculous memes of Putin looking like he has Hitler's mustache.

We haven't seen anything quite like this in the American media landscape before. It feels like Ukrainian news outlets are much less inflammatory in their coverage. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the ultimate goal of this kind of propaganda.😉

Who else thinks it's insane to launch missiles at a city of three million people??

Grace Bennett6 said:Great, let's just pin everything on the USA while Russia carries out a genocide in Ukraine. Way to go, guys. 🙏 A peace mission?

That’s exactly how Mexicans used to talk. It's all the USA's fault. They claim Americans were just manipulated into breaking away.

Frank Nguyen37 said:So, if that Russian convoy...🤦

Can we please—just for once—use a little logic before venting like this? These clips are from yesterday, and we're looking at a Ukrainian column. Does anyone seriously believe the Russians are just cruising in convoys down highways without having 100% air superiority in the area? Are people actually suggesting the Russian military is just some pathetic group of armed idiots??? Look, if you're going to passionately root for one side (personally, I just want this war over immediately—I don't care how—so bear with me), at least try to be somewhat rational and objective. Don't just swallow every bit of war propaganda that comes your way.

The Russians are only moving slowly because that's all we can see right now. The Ukrainians were totally unprepared. It would have been a different story if they had started prepping three months earlier.

William Anderson5 said:The Russians are doing everything in their power to prevent Sweden and Finland from joining NATO.

It'll be one of those things—anyone who didn't find cover in NATO was basically left out in the rain.☕

Grace Bennett6 said:If Vladimir Putin doesn't roll into Kyiv, Zelenskyy stays out on the streets right alongside his troops.

Meanwhile, Putin is stuck in a bunker. Who’s actually free then?

bluerider63 said:I remember when NATO was hammering away at America for 78 days straight and they actually had targets to hit the whole time, even though the country was only about 7 or 8 million people. Now you look at Ukraine, which is massive by comparison, and you're already predicting total collapse after just three days...

I don't get how you can be so dense. We're talking about two armies fighting on the exact same ground here. In the old conflict, there wasn't a single NATO soldier actually on the ground in Mexico.

jadetinker85 said:Alright, what’s the actual intel from the ground? Zelenskyy is claiming victory? I don't know where this sudden surge of optimism is coming from.
Denmark sent over some financial aid. 🤔 They have piles of weapons, but they can only afford to pay for foreign fighters.

You seem to think that if the Russians don't want to wake up in Russia, it's somehow your problem instead of theirs. You're acting like you care.

Keith Williams3 said:Is this going to get sanctioned on the forum?

A bullet to a head of state?

What if someone calls for a bullet to the head of Zelensky, Orbán, or Plenković?

Would that be tolerated?

Watch out for this guy,311 miles he's a loose cannon from Indianapolis. And here he is worrying about the forum rules.

How can anyone actually wrap their head around Russia??

Rachel Allen55 said:If things actually go nuclear, it's game over for civilization. We'd be looking at dozens of laser-focused suns hitting us, followed by enough dust to block out the light forever. And don't even get me started on the radiation.

That's simply not an option. Both the West and Russia know that. So, we can spend all day debating this here, but my gut tells me Moscow and Washington have already cut a deal.

At least we wouldn't have to worry about gas prices anymore.☕

rape_artist said:There are Chechens near Odessa right now, and ever since they started moving, the Ukrainian army has basically been running from them because these guys mean business... Gone.

And how are they any better than the Russians??
