I was just thinking the same thing. I know it's completely irrational and idiotic as it would result in massive loss of life, but I think the time has come for these Ruski bastards to see what real death and destruction looks like. If they **** want a war, let's give them one! (Good thing I'm not making the decisions) Edited April 8, 2022 by regular_john 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the Russian offensive likely ends when Russia take Mariupol and can create a land corridor to Crimea. Presumably at that point it switches to a Ukrainian insurgency against the lands they lost. On the subject of a land corridor to Crimea, why are Russia going to so much trouble to get access via Ukraine when they already have access via Russia? Maybe they could ask their friends in China for help creating a bit more land in that area. Maybe it’s not ideal, but is it worth what’s happening?

LondonLax Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 All the frustration and outrage is understandable but it was also the same thing Russia was doing in Syria (plus letting off chemical weapons and blaming it on the Syrians). Remember the Russian propaganda that said the “White Helmet” first aid responders were actually terrorists etc? It was infuriating to follow. It’s disappointing how the west abandoned Syria and even worse, treated refugees from there with suspicion and even disdain. The world is not a fair place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example the water supply comes from the north and Ukraine had cut that off. The Russians were bussing water in over that bridge daily. It would be much better for them to have the island secured to the mainland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they massively underestimated the Ukrainian resistance then as it would have been far less effort to put a water supply in from Russia than what they’ve gotten themselves into.

mjmooney Posted April 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2022 Boris Johnson is apparently in Kyiv for talks with Zelensky. If Rishi has any favours owing him by the Kremlin, now's the time to call them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 This missile / bomb with the writing on it, I know it’s more than likely Russia that fired it but I can’t help but wonder if there’s a chance that it was planted or even misfired by the Ukrainians themselves, if indeed the text does read ‘for the children’ would it not make more sense for it to have been fired by Ukrainian forces, and the fact it’s in Russian too, was it a message for Russia? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
