This is crazy. With the US supplying long range weapons and Russia potentially responding with nuclear weapons, we could officially have World War III upon us at any moment. Actual textbook defined people learning about it forever WWIII. I hope Russia is willing to show restraint until Trump takes office and ends this conflict.
Ruzzia, which has been using all short of missiles, ballistic and cruise since the beginning of the war and has now called on soldiers of a third party nation - North Korea - to fight and kill Ukrainians, is using Iranian drones against Ukrainian cities has ever shown any level of "restrain" other than the strictly necessary to avoid getting NATO involved.
Why should we decide that Ukraine has to receive all that destruction and death while not delivering an equivalent response?
You "hopium" about the abilities of Trump is absolutely cute.
Again, if you have an enemy in front that has ballistic missiles that - that is your assumption, which I think is wrong - can have nuclear warheads and you do not know if what they launch is or not a nuclear warhead, the safest and best option is to leave that enemy alone them alone. Problem solved.
If you force armed criminal out of your house, can you sleep well if he is (still armed) sleeping in your garden?
(criminal here been UK, not Ukraine)
Also, let me cite Putin:
"The fact is, and I have already spoken about it, and every expert, including our Western one, will confirm this, that the Ukrainian army is not capable of firing modern, high-precision and long-range systems of Western production. They cannot do it. This is possible only with the use of satellite intelligence, which Ukraine does not possess. This is data from satellites of the European Union or the United States, essentially NATO satellites. That is the first point. The second and perhaps most important point is that flight missions for these missile systems can, in essence, only be programmed by NATO military personnel. Ukrainian military personnel cannot do this. Therefore, it is not a question of allowing or prohibiting the Ukrainian regime from attacking Russia with these weapons. The question is whether NATO countries will decide to directly participate in the military conflict. If such a decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine. This direct involvement will significantly change the nature of the conflict. This will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European nations are at war with Russia. And if that is the case, given the fundamental change in the nature of this conflict, we will make decisions accordingly, based on the threats that are being imposed on us."
The most interesting thing about this rubbish post is that you had to clarify who is in whose garden, because it is obvious who is the invading criminal. Let's start by puting it rigth:
No, you absolutely have the right to kick the criminal's ass out of
Ukraine your garden.
See, that is the problem, you are still in the mindset that Ukraine is the garden of Ruzzia - a piece of land and many people there just to serve Moscow's interests whose only right is to accept whatever Moscow decides about them (e.g. being killed by hunger, winters or bombs). Any and all your comments are tainted by the supremacist thought and everything you say makes only sense to those who accept that somehow there is a "divine right" or rule by Moscow and anything else is because of "external enemies". Of course you can justify anything under that premise - and you do in every post tbh.
On what Putin says, well, he says so many things... you can tell he is lying easily. Is he moving his lips? Then he is lying.
But even it that is correct, I see no problem with it. If North Korean soldiers can fight for Ruzzia and can take artillery pieces and supply shells, Iran can provide an endless supply of drones and even ballistic missiles, China is smuggling parts and components (from the West by the way) and India is bying cheap oil from Ruzzia... well, I guess the ship of not involving others has sailed...
I do understand that this is "not the same" under your view for the reasons previously stated (Ruzzia=good, anything else= bad)
