Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine


Wonderful tremendous sucking there.

So any that link there is a pre was essay with Putin's take on the historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians. None of that backs up your claim that "Putin’s oft stated war aim is to either absorb Ukraine outright". Putin didn't even refer to it as a war until recently. Putin has however stated that Russia are open to dialogue.
 
You’d kinda get the impression that RU is losing this war heavily yet they are occupying close on 20% of UA now and appear to be holding. Meanwhile the body count is accumulating on both sides.

The other way to look at it is Ukraine have been in a holding pattern since September, and Russia have been only making small gains while going through huge losses of men.

Ukraine will be fully funded for the rest of the year, but everything depends on the US Election. I think Biden winning and the Democrats regaining the House are more than highly likely to happen, the issue is the Senate and whether Democrats can hold on. They have a small chance, McConnell will be gone and some of the maga loons have won (or will win) their primaries, turning off voters in November. It being a Presidential year along with absolutely nuts abortion stance is likely to see a massive turnout, which will help Democrats too.

If that happens, more modern weaponry, than they've had, is coming.

The Peril of Slowness: American Mistakes during Russia’s War of Aggression in Ukraine​



As part of the W. Michael Reisman Distinguished Lecture on International Law and Diplomacy, we are delighted to be joined by Prof. Timothy Snyder, Richard C. Levin Professor of History at Yale University and author of On Tyranny. The lecture took place at The University Club of New York.
 
Ah now come on, you can surely follow - Russia are currently “easily winning the war” but the approval war chest gives Ukraine a stronger position to negotiate.

Being so super brave from behind that keyboard of yours, you would of course say keep fighting and clocking up the body count.

Russians have been willing to negotiate right through out the war, Putin has said that many times. Their terms may have changes as they became more successful.

Where are are the many quotes where Putin said he wants to absorb Ukraine in full? Are you paraphrasing from that Tucker interview?
If he wasn't trying to absorb it in full, then why go for Kiev?

Why not just grab the Donbas and park your ass at the border?
 
From a Ukranian point of view, surely now is an ideal time to talk. Russia winning the war comfortably but US aid for Ukraine approved strengthening the Ukrainian negotiation position. Talk now or fire what they can get from the 60 billion at the Russians, probably get the same fired back at them, tens of thousands of more lives lost, gamble on being in a better position and then negotiate or negotiate now form a relative position of strength?
You seem to be missing the point of all of this. A poverty stricken, criminal, corrupt dictatorship wants to crush/absorb an emerging liberal democracy. No time is an ideal time to talk to those freaks.

Putin said they had no intention of invading Ukraine, right up until they did.

You can't trust him, he's a snake.

If you think it is that simple then you are missing a whole lot of points. I won't reiterate them again but you can scroll back. Plenty of debate and wrongs on both sides but this war could easily have been prevented though dialogue and could also have been shut down early through same.

People very brave with their keep fighting from behind your keyboard in Cork. If it was you loved ones being sent to the Russian meat grinded while you had the words of an American senator ringing in your ears - Russians are dying, best money we ever spent, would you maybe thing we are being used as pawns here. Would we even be in this war if not for US meddling.

Do you have any idea how many Ukrainians lives it would take to dislodge the Russians form the captured territory. What number would you say it worth it? Remember these are not just numbers, they are people.

Ukraine has some leverage now with the US war chest, time to talk. This war is on Russia's border. There will be no dislodging them.

There is not plenty debates. If you have any brain cells you will know that Russia invaded a sovereign country.
