This is also a less cliché way of asking, essentially, “so why aren’t you on the next flight over there to volunteer?”

Intent is a key element of genocide. Just like if you kill someone by negligence it’s not murder, if you kill a lot of your own people by mismanaging a war it’s not genocide.
At this rate Ukraine is genociding it’s own population
We should not throw this term around casually.
Direct escalation would make things more unpredictable.
This is the U.S. strategy – to provoke Russia into a response that will turn more than Europe against it.
I don’t particularly believe that Russia is anything but the first western state to evolve from capitalism to an authoritarian kleptocracy.
The U.S.?
Did Russia just wake up one day and decide to invade? Did the largest country on Earth for some reason decided it would start a costly war just to grab a little more land?
Why do you think Russia invaded?
Act fast!
Somewhere, Colin Powell is looking up and smiling
Lmao just what I was thinking
“I’m no military mastermind, but…”
Polyukhovich has been fighting for eight years in eastern Ukraine, where the war has been raging since the covert Russian invasion in 2014.
Polling conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations in January in 12 countries suggested that only 10 per cent of voters think Ukraine can win. Some 37 per cent thought that a compromise was most likely and 19.5 per cent thought that Russia would win in the end.
I could see it both ways. Short-term, Europe would continue to be dependent on the U.S., but how long until you have some EU-style military pact?
But they’re willing to say Ukraine should negotiate? And not only are they positive about Ukraine’s chances, but they also think they’re going to roll Russia out of territory it’s held uncontested since 2014?
Just seems wildly inconsistent.
Hard to square that with 89% still thinking Ukraine will eventually win and a whopping 66% thinking the “most realistic” outcome is either Ukraine getting everything back plus Crimea or Ukraine taking the fight into Russia.
