I'm also perfectly okay with Russia protecting the Donbas from Kiev and it's Azov thugs with tens of thousands of artillery shells per day. By "protecting" you mean sending tens of thousands of men from Donbas to certain death (they make up by far the worst equipped units) and bombing Eastern Ukrainian cities to dust? Care to explain how what Russia is doing now is preferable to a couple dozen casualties per year (stats from 2021)? | ||

They were already paranoid about double agents. And so is Ukraine. It's just part of war. | ||

I wish there was a mute button because after seeing his twitter nobody should respond to any of his posts. | ||

However, if not true way to plant the seed of doubt on everybody in the know! https://ca.yahoo.com/news/ukrainian-partisans-double-agent-russian-172659737.html There's absolutely zero chance anyone on either side would just go and admit "Hey, we used spies for this! He's in this X unit!" It would be completely self defeating. Information gathering 101 is that you don't tell your opponent how you got it, giving them a chance to fix their holes. The only way this makes sense is if they got the information in a completely different way that they don't want to draw attention to | ||

They know NATO won’t attack. https://ca.yahoo.com/news/russian-forces-near-norway-20-171622974.html There's a bit of an unspoken "duh" there. If NATO invaded, which they won't because nukes, it wouldn't really matter if Russia had pre-war forces at the border or the current 20%. The outcome would be remarkable similar. Meanwhile, they have an actual threat in the war they themselves started. It just wouldn't make sense to not move the forces they have, from borders no one is going to attack from, to the active war they are currently losing in. The interesting number her is that Russia has pulled 80% of their forces from their borders. Meaning (As we already know), they've taken massive losses that needed to be replenished. But their continuous increase in age group for the conscriptions already told us that tho | ||

Good thing Russia invaded so the threat of Nato invasion was prevented. (Reason doesn't reach people like zeo, you can always find a way to spin stuff if you try hard enough and don't really care about reality) | ||

It's just unfortunate that Russia isn't willing to use nukes to defend Russian homeland against NATO. | ||

I dont get the point of these low effort ad hominems and strawmans, they are easy to post sure but at least try to post something with any sembalance to reality or what Ive said in the past. Just on this page Im moving to Russia apparently and saying things ive never said to prove other things I never said being used as a prop to attack my character in a piss poor way. If Im living rent free in your head (like already in the Hitler guys head) at least make the boogie man vaguely resemble what Im saying, not just randomly tacking anything you dont like and building a strawman. | ||

He can't say : "I want to annex ukraine and restore sovjet union because my army is 100x stronger than ukraine therefore the war will be over very soon and i will be remembered as a great russian leader" It's obvious to anyone with a brain that this was the thought process, then you can make up any number of reasons to invade, if you give 10 different reasons as long as 1 reason is good enough for some russian person then that's good enough. | ||

Or maybe you think Africans, South Americans, Asians and the population in Europe that dont agree with warmongering are not people. | ||
