In an ideal world, I'd agree with you, but that's not really an option for Ukraine in this context.

The Russian navy's superiority is undeniable.Since when The Guardian is stealing Babylon Bee's articles?
Please explain, I don't understand what's going on anymore.

I mean it likely happens during the Siege but that’s still not a very viable strategy

I read through the article. Very interesting, it goes against a lot of the mainstream (bit Russia-aligned, however). Still an interesting read, seems to mirror a lot of the information from the pro-Russia side in this thread itself.

Oh, I'm sure there is. Just off the top of my head, last Pepsi and Nestle are maintaining a lot of their Russian operations that provide staple foods. No sanctions force them to shutter those operations and "for humanitarian reasons" was a good enough moral high ground that they felt comfortable ignoring people demanding further boycotting of Russia, or if necessary politely telling them to fuck off. Staple food in this case being mostly milk, baby formula, baby food, cereal, and pet food. I dare them being forced to shutter production and distribution operations, fire tens of thousands of employees, and tell tens of thousands more in their supply chain "sorry, you're on your own" is a bit harder to fix than a franchise restaurant needing to change its sign. Beyond that, sanctions against Russian shipping appears to be still fairly limited and patchwork, with Russian owned ships still able to make port in some countries sanctioning Russia, and some non-Russia shipping companies still being allowed to accept some Russian cargoes. That's something further sanctions could change. Next to come to mind is that the sanctions have basically avoided attempting to ban medical supplies and devices to Russia. I'm sure the banking sanctions complicate paying for them, but it's still legal to send them to Russia for now.
I could probably come up with more with some research. This is just what comes to mind from paying passing attention. The point is things can still get nastier short of actual war.
Yes, proportional response exists for a reason. That's why when Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014 and annexed Crimea, the sanctions were much more limited. A mostly bloodless limited land grab that didn't garner much protest from the region being conquered didn't call for completely crushing sanctions. Now that years later Russia didn't stop there and proceeded to attempt to conquer all of Ukraine to much bloodshed and strong resistance in many areas, much harsher sanctions were called for.
No, he can't. As president of Ukraine, his main job at this point is beggar in chief. It's his job to wheedle support out of other countries even if it means looking like an idiot by asking for the sun, moon, and stars just to get a few more tanks.
I doubt anything will come of the saber rattling. China isn't ready to make a military move on Taiwan, and Taiwan isn't interested in doing anything that'd force China's hand into trying anyway. The biggest possible threat to the status quo at the moment would be the US suddenly insisting that Taiwan was an independent country. Which would force China into some sort of response.
I doubt Romania would participate. My guess would be they're putting troops into position to ensure that if shit starts to go down in Transnistria, they can keep it from spilling into Romania. With a bonus of having troops ready nearby to give them more options.
I'm going to wager it's incomplete, out of date, or specific to troops stationed in his region.
Bullshit. NATO throwing Russia out of Ukraine isn't a war of national survival. Even if that means Ukraine being restored to its pre-2014 borders and Russian bases and supply lines being used for the war on Ukraine being bombed into ineffectiveness. Humiliating for Russia? Sure. A matter of national survival? No. I'm sure Putin would try and cast it as another Great Patriotic War, but that's going to be harder to sell as time goes on and the west fails to do more than what's required to get Russia out of Ukraine, then starts talking peace treaty.
I'm surprised it wasn't the version with the flag in the background:
Probably only a matter of time before someone gives him a shirt of something like this:

Mmm, I feel how the white guilt is going away.
In terms of Americans, predominantly whites are concerned about inflation, but it is surprising that predominantly Hispanics are concerned about Ukraine, for whatever reason.

During the battle Germans who were cut off from supplies allegedly had to forage for food, which included frozen corpses.

It does read as biased towards Russia, however it's not why I shared it. There's quite a few events that are either not covered at all, or are forgotten, and they are presented in a readable manner. Those that are sourced did turn out to be accurate (I admit to forego checking about halfway into the article), and some events are available online as raw data/diagrams, but never reported on in English media; such as some of the OSCE reports about shelling in eastern Ukraine.

Russian Soldier handing out the same military ration that were found next to corpses in Butcha. Lets hope Ukrainians did not get this babushka too.
Russian women look good in camo, apparently she was part of a humanitarian aid convoy that was attacked by Ukrainians
edit: Bonus conspiracy

thats only for poor countries. the experienced units use the lighter, but worse MGs while the Fresh conscripts get to go to the warehouse to get the good stuff to defend the Gap.
MGs are easy to use and almost impossible to destroy by error. you can see that from the weapons used for training, they were all made in the 40s,,,

Is anyone else seriously considering that they aren't under a total assault of reality? The information war is out of control when it comes to "Zee Ukraine War."
We already know that Azov is a thing. Anyone who isn't switched on, has no idea that "The Battalion" exists. Don't get me wrong....get some you Nazis. Fucking Russia. But are we all still pretending?
"The media" is fucking retarded. And so are all these dick sucking retards going along with it.

Or the kitty.
She looks scared. I hope she's OK.
I don't have TV or cable so I don't see it. That doesn't mean I can't access it because when I do its so wildly removed from reality I just stop watching.
