It's a really special kind of doublethink to believe you are helping the country you are invading in an unprovoked war of aggression.
Don't forget to add that it is a democratic and sovereign country.
😂 He addresses a new foreign legislature every week. You guys are literally fucking retarded if you think Zelensky isn't popular right now with everyone in the civilized world.
Nobody here doubts that.

He's super duper popular in world superpowers such as Kosovo, Albania, and Azerbaijan. Yeah US/NATO is gonna get their new pet darling speaking engagements at the parliaments of US/NATO backed countries, but you'd have to be retarded to think that translates to popular support amongst "everyone in the civilized world". Most people cared about Ukraine for a hot minute right after the invasion and then just stopped giving a shit.
 
Just gonna say you can trace basically every faggot left wing movement from ~1925 to ~1991 back to the NKVD/KGB specifically giving them loads of money to support their faggot organizations
What set those apart from the new age of globohomo is that they didn't drink their own kool aid. The (((Applebaums))) and (((Kristols))) and most fervent anti-Russkies on the other hand are universally assmad Trotskyists taking reveng by proxy for the pogroms/Stalin.

Oh yes they did drink their own kool aid lol

Its just as free from corruption and assaults on democratic norms as America!

>unprovoked
Now I know why Arabs and Iranians get so mad when white people comment on Middle Eastern politics, if you think this war was "unprovoked" you are seriously ignoring 8+ years of war and context that westerners ignored because it wasn't exciting or politically convenient enough.
Russia started that too though.
 
>Regime change not the goal
Not going to lie that sounds like Copium after the expected military coup against Zelensky failed to materialize, none the less if they can take the coast it'll be a big win, though strategically less desirable in the long term then Ukraine not losing territory but having a more pro-Russian government in power.
Observations and opinions...

Still think Putin may say something on 9 May to the extent that "We've punished the Ukrainians enough and are stopping on the present line." Unilateral cease-fire, responding only if attacked. More and more, the fight is being taken to Russia, what with all the fires. Those fires so far have happened at military/military-related targets. But let enough time go by and who knows what could happen, say, coordinated bomb attacks at several Moscow Metro stations during rush hour.

Surely Putin realizes the war is now a grind, his generals are getting killed right and left, Ukraine won't run out of support from outside, and the sanctions on Russia will continue. Not only that, Vlad has only himself to thank for Sweden and Finland applying to NATO, as well as the Russian conventional military's shot reputation. Suggest the Russian conventional military has been so damaged by this war that they couldn't succeed against NATO at all, conventionally. China must also be watching, with their own concerns.

Have heard Putin has mentioned "mobilization". Hmmm...wonder how many will show up, with what they have heard about the war, and seeing so many return in boxes. Wonder how the Russian Army could support those mobilized logistically, when they have the greatest difficulties supporting those already in the field. Where will the additional trucks come from, for example? Civilian sector? Do that enough, you can hurt the economy at home, and keep in mind most civilian trucks aren't built for military use.

Believe it's long past time for Vlad to play the magnanimous victor and cut his losses. Otherwise, the grind will go on, likely for many months to come.

It could be a set up for justifying a mobilization. Putin will declare victory on May 9 and say that Russia has accomplished everything its set out to do and the war is over.

But then the dastardly Ukrainians will keep attacking! Because of course they will. But this time THEY will be the agressors! Poor innocent Russia wants the war to end and the evil Nazi's won't stop hitting them \(*^^*)/ ! So of course Russia will have no choice but to call up its reserves and commit themselves to a more generalized conflict.

Please tell me you meant it as a jab and not as an example to look after.
Russia started that too though.
It started with the overthrow of the Ukrainian government.And now the Russians will finish it.
Although I agree that they should have done it much earlier.
The fire in the Odessa House of Unions on May 2, 2014 is one of the largest in terms of the number of victims of fires in Ukraine; it was one of the episodes of civil confrontation between Euromaidan supporters and anti—Maidan supporters in Odessa during the political crisis in Ukraine in 2013-2014. 6 people died during street clashes between Euromaidan supporters and pro—Russian activists in the center of Odessa. Another 42 people died as a result of a fire in the Odessa House of Unions, in which anti-Maidan activists (whose street camp was located nearby, on Kulikovo Field), tried to hide.
What a very ideologically inclined mob. What a pleasant people.

You kept repeating yourself from the start of the conflict.

They will not give up. Putin can't afford it. He will be eaten alive if he tries.
And the Russian population is accustomed to hardships; they demand retribution, not ceacefire.
Republics made it through 8 years of the grind, and I believe their larger cousin will be fine for a few more months.
This is a stupid answer to an even more stupid argument: "There can't be Nazis in Ukraine because Zelensky is a Jew."

One more thing, Hitler's grandmother or great-grandmother was a maid for a Jew, and they had an affair, so yes, the Austrian artist kept a couple of shakes in his blood.

Pretty much the reason why many Russian generals and senior officers have been killed is because they don't have NCOs and the main inspiration for Russian officers when it comes to commanding troops comes from the example of general Pyotr Bagration, someone who led from the front and got mortally wounded in the battle of Borodino.

The Russians have a way of war that strips autonomy for smaller units of the army, a radical diference from the German and American way of waging war, the Germans being an extreme in the other direction and that had it's tactical benefits but it degraded the strategic hability of the Germans (in the case of the battle of the Marne and in the eastern front)

I chuckled a bit when you mentioned bodies in boxes and the possible failure of calling the reservists while having Stalin himself as your user image, pretty ironic if i'm being honest, Stalin would have disagreed with you when it comes to the resilience of the Russian people.
