No shit. Western training and equipment is not fit for purpose. Acting as a colonial cop by bombing with impunity ≠ attacking the strongest defensive lines of the 21st century. All their wunderwaffe just gets blown up by mines or drones.

Cannot wait to see how well this comment ages. All the Hexabear stuff is just comedy gold in the long run. Thank you for spending your life force creating it.

Yeah, Ukraine is really going to retake those two oblasts and Crimea. It will all be worth all the hundreds of thousands of lives thrown into the meatgrinder instead of honoring two ceasefires or negotiating a new ceasefire when that happens.

Real Hitler in his bunker energy, except instead of Hitler youre a nazi in some other country not directly involved coping about how Germany can still win.

Zelenksy tried to surrender. Boris Johnson derailed those talks to keep the war going.

They've literally constantly offered offramps toward de-escalation. Two negotiated ceasefires were broken by ukrainian state backed militias in donbass before the war started.

But I've been told the Russian army is out of missiles and teetering on the brink of collapse again, now you're saying they're simultaneously a force capable of posing a realistic threat of invasion to...uh, the entire rest of the planet, apparently? thinkin-lenin

Are they like... Weak, and umm... Strong...? At the same time? I guess....?

Wait I think I heard this before.

You should volunteer if you think it's this important to fight Russia
