The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?
PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.
Funny how you request sources to one argument but swallow the other without question and provide none for your counter arguments.
Do you need a source for Russia’s invasion of Georgia? Or their example of Czechoslovakia?! Feels like a bad faith argument because you have no meaningful response to their points. History does indocate that appeasement will not make Putin reasonable, but will rather embolden him to expand and colonise more countries as he dreams of
recreating Russian/Soviet empirereturning Russia to the status of a global superpower as it was during the zenith of the USSR or during the peaks of Russian tsardom/empire.You do need a source when you’re claiming the point of those wars was to annex those countries and “recreating the Russian/Soviet empire” considering it is so absurd.
Pre-invasion: Putin Laments Soviet Breakup As Demise Of ‘Historical Russia,’ Amid Ukraine Fears
June 2022: 'Taking it back’: Vladimir Putin likens self to Peter the Great. The Russian president draws parallels between Peter the Great’s founding of St Petersburg and modern-day Russia’s ambitions.
I don’t think he literally wants the USSR 2.0,.but he yearns to recreate the losition of power Russia enjoyed on the world stage as a consequemce of that formation.
I stand corrected. It seems I am the one spewing shit. I should reasses my support for totalitarian regimes.
