Indeed. I think these Putin apologists believe the propaganda that Ukraine is a corrupt fascist state. It was before the uprising in 2014 that led to the annexation of Crimea. Zelensky has great popular support.

So you're suggesting the Russians will resort to Guerilla tactics? Most soldiers don't even want to be there.

I would say Poland. Russia taking over Ukraine is not in Western Europe's best interest.

NATO could have this war done and dusted in a few weeks if they wanted to. They wouldn't even have to put a single rifle in the country, it could all be done using air power.

They've threatened Nations that want to join NATO. Again no NATO troops are engaged in combat in Ukraine. NATO nations are sanctioning the shit out of Russia and providing military aid. These are not new things. Proxy Wars happened all the time in the Cold War.

It would be Russia who would be resorting to Nuclear War. NATO would be just supporting a democracy to create a buffer state. And you're a gullible fool to believe that Putin would stop at Ukraine if NATO were to just let them fall.

Wooden houses in a metropolis tho.

And Ukraine's independence has been a craw up Putin's backside since the USSR fell.

I think the point is that previous Proxy Wars would have led smart people in Russia to concede that annexing a country the size of Ukraine is a pointless and costly exercise.

And the Russians thought they'd be greeted as liberators.

Yeah but Putin isn't a Nazi. So it's completely different. ?

Because Ukraine falls, Poland is next. It's in NATO's interest not to have Putin annexing buffer nations.

Even if that was true, would that call for a full scale invasion? You really believe all Putin propaganda dontcha?

To be fair, popping bubble wrap can be fun for a time.

A 1940 version of Nationalist would root for peace as the Nazis bombed London.

You'll note, no matter how bad things got for the Americans in Korea or Vietnam or for the Russians in Afghanistan neither resorted to Nukes. Putin lost this war before it started. Even if the West didn't assist Ukraine with weapons, this would have been a protracted Guerilla conflict.

So Russia steamrolling a neighbouring country because of Western apathy is peace?

Are you new to the idea of a Proxy War?

Cite where I screamed for war. What result are you rooting for here?

Putin wants this war. He started it, he's escalating it. The Ukrainians are defending their homeland.

Are those fleeing Russian conscription cowards?

What action is required pray tell?

Well the fact that nukes are even on the table is an indication this Special Military Operation isn't going to plan. What's the time table for taking Kyiv?

Neville Chamberlain would be proud. It's cute talking peace when Putin is getting his ass handed to him by this fake-state "full of Nazis".

Is the type of grooming you've been consuming to defend use of tactical nukes by Russia when/if it happens?
