For real that’s my understanding. I think even small arms munitions as well.
Probably using a group chat or something. I can’t imagine he personally knows all 50 of these guys tbh. I hope not at least for the reasons you indicated.
Well sure as soon as possible, but having a strategic stockpile for flexibility would be ideal. You can maintain pressure while adjusting to the changing battleground as needed.
I feel like Russians posting that this is obviously false, implies to me this is actually correct.
What it implies is that China must be better prepared. It may not be a cake walk in the same way Russia or would be, but do long as China is well prepared for the invasion, it will help smooth things over.
Ah thanks for the correction. Regardless my point still stands that these people were heavily armed/trained which I think is very surprising.
Holy shit that’s crazy. 45 15 police officers were killed too. I bring up this number in particular because usually, attacks like this, have people heavily armed against unarmed people. They usually get dispatched pretty quickly when they encounter any sort of armed resistance (police, or people with guns), but to see that they still were able to kill 45 police is crazy.
Practically useless video. It only showed Ramsey being interviewed and asked about the crash, in which he shows his huge bruise in his ribs. No details of what happened
I’m hoping you’re right. What I could imagine is that he just wants to burn through the prisoners since if they don’t make it back, that’s less prison costs. So even if he has reserve troops available, he’d rather use prisoners first.
Idk If you’re talking about the US, but liberals/the left have to deal with Republicans having enough power to block any additional funding. The left does want to do more, it’s just difficult when one side wants to do things that help Russia
That being said, I do ultimately agree with your sentiment, the West is not doing enough quickly.
I mean the percentages are different, but the argument remains the same, Russia is attacking a sovereign nation and feels they can do it with impunity. Getting access to all of Ukraine’s resources helps them rebuild faster and help destabilize the West more since they would be able to affect food supply chains.
Putting being “moderate” is irrelevant (though I didn’t agree Putin, who is homophobic is moderate), his similarities are with his actions in attacking a country for personal Gain.
There is no other option to counteract Russian aggression, supporting Ukraine and sanctioning Russia are the major tools the West has. Ukraine can defend themselves but the West has been slow to provide sufficient support, quickly. This stems from Russian influence on the West as well (Republicans warming up to Russia, or things beneficial to them). Sanctions take time, to affect countries. Russia is currently selling oil at discounts and also may have to begin to import more oil. These are all problems for Russia that will continue to get worse.
It feels like your dismissing the idea of learning from history.
My understanding is Ukraine is a large grain producer and exporter. So I wouldn’t say the land is very barren. There’s definite upsides, but you and I would probably agree its going to be a huge cost for Russia.
Will look into that to see if that’s easier that what I currently do now. Thanks!
More or less what I have to do.
Will do.
I feel it’s been common knowledge since after the first month of the war that Russia has miscalculated significantly. They sent in paratroopers, some of the most time consuming and most expensive soldiers to train, into Kyiv where they were summarily killed or captured with no support. Other units ran out of ammo and fuel, with soldiers indicating they weren’t expecting to invade.
Every day this war lasts is a spit in the face to Putin and his shitty planning.
Thanks for providing this. I’m actually quite surprised media fact check rates the guardian’s reliability as “mixed”
For real he handles it like it’s his. He said it happened again. I wonder what happened afterwards
whoa this looks cool
