Russia invades Ukraine

[Wormius]

If only there was a thread where conflicts not involving Ukraine ad Russia could be discussed.

[Samonadreau]

This is turning into the same bickering thread that the Isreal/hamas one is. Hopefully it's not permanent.

Hey snowflakes. Don't worry about it. Sometimes discussions meander and topics overlap. You'll be fine.

I think most people appreciate that this thread is not the clusterfata that the Israel/Hamas one is and prefer it not trending in that direction.

Fortunately that thread is another thing former Putin supporters seem to have run away from.

I like how “my favourite thread” is just kind of slipped in here like no big deal.

The Gaza/Israel War are groups of people in close proximity who have hated each other for millenia.

The Ukraine/Russia War is a deranged cult leader pretending he's Stalin.

The only similarity is a Pointman running around in both warzones like a Rowan Atkinson cameo.

Let's keep these threads apart.

Also;

After the election, Biden has tried to give Ukraine everything he can so they can hold on despite Trump. Increased weapon shipments in the last two months would fit that timeline. Doesn't mean Ukraine is planning a major offensive with those weapons. (But it would also be understandable that Russian sources would be genuinely worried about that possibility.)

Man- the anti russia propoganda in this thread is real. based on this thread, id think ukraine is at the doorsteps of moscow. russia holds vast chunks of ukraine territory yet all this thread shows is russian casualities, equipment losses etc. what about ukraine? present a two sided picture if you want to present one at all.
