Ukraine Can't Win the War

There is no realistic chance of total Ukrainian victory next year, or the year after that.

    If Russia comes out of this conflict with any gains at all that could be construed as “worth it” for their side it will be an open invitation to keep invasions on the table as a method to apply again in the near future.

      Russia is literally the biggest country in the world with massive natural resources and very low population density. The idea that Russia will sacrifice its relatively small population for the sake of additional territorial gains is preposterous.

        They’re literally doing that right now, though

          They’re fighting against NATO expansion to Russia’s border which they have been warning against for over a decade now. Even Stoltenberg admits this now:

          The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that. So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.

            I thought Putin said it was because “Ukraine is a neo-nazi regime”?

            No, wait, he said it was because the west were using Ukraine to base their weapons

            Oh, nevermind, I forgot that there is no such thing as Ukraine, it’s all part of Russia

            Oh, or is it because the west are gay paedophilic gender-neutral-god-worshipping heathens

            Or was it because Ukraine was planning to pretend Russia nuked them first so that they could actually declare war on Russia

            Ah, was it to defend Donetsk and Luhansk’s independence? Or are they part of Russia?

            Or is it that Ukraine has a government with no control, where the streets of Kiev are a lawless purge?

            I seem to have lost track of why he’s invading. Could you clarify for me?

              Ukraine being a neo-nazi regime doing ethnic cleansing in Donbas and planning to host NATO weapons that can strike within Russia are precisely in line with the problem of NATO expansion. Incredible that you’re unable to understand how a single overarching problem can have multiple aspects to it. Hope that clarified things for you.

                And how do the gay paedophile heretics fit into your overarching problem?

                  Wait till you find out what the banderite stance on gay pedophile heretics is.
