Ukraine is currently a vassal state of the Israel/US empire
New candidate for dumbest post in LRC history. Israel has been extremely limited in their support of Ukraine throughout Russia's invasion. They haven't given any weapons to Ukraine and they haven't supported sanctions against Russia. All they've done is begrudgingly built a field hospital in western Ukraine.
Just like the rapist and the girl wearing the short skirt are both awful, right? Have you ever been to the Ukraine? Have you ever even talk to someone from the Ukraine? Maybe you should start caring about the Ukraine, of course, that would require you to stop only caring about yourself.
Russia may be running out of bombs to drop and is looking to use negotiations as a way to pause combat to give Russia time to get more munitions and supplies to frontline soldiers. Russia dropped a lot of bombs on Syria and was not operating at full capacity when it began the invasion of Ukraine. If front line troops do not have mortars and missiles, Ukraine forces will be able to launch counter attacks and push the Russian forces even further back. And Russian forces have taken massive losses and have shown no signs of being able to effectively engage with Ukraine forces, save and except for sitting way back and lobbing missiles at apartment complexes.
Demand for natural gas is set to drop off as spring temps reduce demand for home heating. The Russian central bank has played its best hand on supporting the Ruble, but the G7 refused Russia's demand to pay for natural gas in Rubles. China and India are buying up Russian oil at bargain basement prices. Russia is coming to the point where they may not be able to pay soldiers and afford raw materials for bomb building. Putin's greatest fear is a popular revolution. The odds of Russia making it through April without a catastrophic economic collapse are not good.
Russia is either going to use this pause as a way to regroup before a final, all in attack on Kyiv in order to try to take down the central government or is going to have to strike a deal with Zelensky and cut their losses.

LOL! A leftist preaching about being self important. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ukraine was doing the same thing Russia is doing to Ukrainians in the separatist regions for the last 7+ years.
Ukrainians are committing war crimes all over the place.
I don't care who you're pals with.
In your idiotic analogy Ukraine was raping the separatists long before the Russians showed up.
ok so both sides seem to want peace. Now what? A cease-fire will just let russia build the berlin wall all over again. sanctions need to be used as incentives but can't just take them off too early.
this will be very tricky and difficult. Unless the russians simply retreat across the border and pay reparations. which won't happen.
I admit, I'm not friends with a single person who would use the term "sheep" as an insult. But that's just because I don't enjoy the company of young children or unmedicated BPD patients.

You really expect the proven racist anti semitic to go a whole day without some anti Israeli lies?
80% of German casualties were suffered in the East.
The Soviet Union was 10x stronger in 1945 than it was in 1941. It's perfectly reasonable.
They didn't lose soldiers because of incompetence they lost soldiers because the MAJORITY of the combat happened in the east and they were fighting the best army in the world.
It doesn't matter what you think. The Russians had thrown the Germans out of Russia before d-day every happened. The cream of the German army died in Russia before 1 American boot touched Europe.
The British would have been defeated if Germany hadn't invaded Russia in the first place.
I'm detecting hints of deflection in these comments about Nazis by Russophobes like agip. Are they starting to realize the Ukrainian neo-Nazis are real, and maneuvering to save face? Like they totally were against sending thousands of weapons to a neo-Nazi militia
Are you having a laugh 2600 dude.
The Krauts would never have beat us,same as the French and Spanish didn't manage it at the same time.

Why do you spit back Russian propaganda as fact? Often Russian propaganda might even have a small kernel of truth but exaggerated to the point of absurdity. Did Ukraine ever do something wrong? Yeah probably they might have. Does it warrant or in anyway compare with the butchery started by Putin? Of course not.
Putin is horribly wrong here and its crazy that you really can't see it.

Supporting the Ukraine doesn't make someone a "leftist" (WTF that is). Perhaps if you tried to actually understand situations, rather than simplying assigning labels to people you disagree with, you would be able to actually learn something. Rather, you prefer to stick your head in the sand and only worry about yourself.
You've never been to the Ukraine. You've never interacted with anybody from the Ukraine. Yet, you claim to be an expert about what's going on in the Ukraine, how the Ukrainian people should think, and what's best for the Ukraine.
So, your solution to alleged war crimes by Ukrainian soldiers in Eastern Ukraine is for Russian troops to come in and murder a bunch of civilians, commit countless war crimes of their own, and then run back to Russia with the tail between their legs? Russian soldiers have been in Eastern Ukraine for almost 10 years - there couldn't be any war crimes against the Russians showed up, because there was no war in Eastern Ukraine before the Russians showed up. Oh, sorry, they weren't Russian solders, they were ex-Russian soldiers on holiday.
Remember the lovely pro-Russian rebels were the ones that shot down MH17. That's who you're supporting now?

You fit the toxic description perfectly.
The word "sheep" is a commonly used to reference following the herd without thinking.
In your social circles it's probably got more sexual connotations.
Massive changes in strategy are afoot. The Russians know their original goals are impossible.
Breaking: Russia is beginning to withdraw some forces from around the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, in what the US assesses is a “major” strategy shift, two senior US officials tell me. US is already observing movements underway of Russian Battalion Tactical Groups (BTGs) 1/

Did I ever say Putin wasn't wrong?
Why do you continually attack me for claims I never made?

Media reports that a Ukrainian school administrator has been arrested by Russian forces for embezzlement. It's important to note that the arrest had absolutely nothing to do with the schools refusing to switch to teaching in Russian.
So the invasion was really just about cleaning up school administration for the benefit of those children that were not killed in the process of claiming control of the schools.
