I don’t blame them. Ukraine needs to take the war to Russia to win.

I like the Economist but maybe posting their articles here should be avoided since no one can obviously read them so everyone is just commenting about the headline.

How about this: we’re allowed to tell them how to run their war as long as we supply them an uninterrupted pipeline of the shit they need to win it the way they’re telling us to.

Oh wait: we already tried that, except we not only didn’t even do it well, but also didn’t hold up our end of the bargain because of fucking fascist far-right politicians. So we kinda fucked that one up, didn’t we?

I hate that it took this long but the aid package cleared the house and is expected to clear the Senate. This just happened yesterday https://www.npr.org/2024/04/21/1246170238/ukraine-military-assistance-house-vote-mike-johnson-volodymr-zelenskyy

Oh I know. All I’m saying is that any semblance of justification for exerting strategic oversight of their war is gone, considering the political fuckery we just pulled in the last 6 months that had very real and negative consequences for Ukraine.

Oh yeah that's absolutely fair! I mainly threw this comment up because it's super fresh news so I was hoping to help spread it a bit.

I hope Ukraine wins and takes a cut of Russian territory as compensation.

alas, i am afraid that even if ukraine is able to restore its territorial integrity, most of russian citizens won't understand that their government did something wrong. russia won't ever be humiliated like nazi germany, to force people to think what they did wrong.

i am afraid of newer russian revanshionism and i am afraid of what their post imperial phantom pains will make them do in the future.

my impression is that majority of the russian citizens feel pain regarding the 'lost lands' as they often put it, as a result of ussr collapse.

Nazi Germany was “humiliated “ because they were occupied and force to learn of their crimes.

Russia cant must be allowed to get off Scot free for this shit. They need to be dismantled to nullify future harm, and forced to confront and acknowledge their crimes.

Yes, ukraine should lose some more soldiers to take a cut out of russia, to really show them. /s

Damn, this position at the sideline, rooting for our team, surley is comfortable.

Biden wants to tank the Russian economy, not for Ukraine to win. Hitting their oil will rise the global price and lose him the election.
