Thereās been a hot war going on since 2014 when they first invaded Crimea. Theyāve been fighting ever since in the Donetsk region which is Russiaās current foothold to invade further in from. This war was never cold.
The question is whether or not it will turn into a world war where everyone ends up dragged into the conflict or not.
Ukraine shouldnāt have given up their nukes on a flimsy promise of US protection.

Yep. Since the media stopped to report what is happening in Donetsk and Luhansk rest of the world ādecidedā that war is over. Nope. Ukraine is at war with Rustardia since 2014 and people are dying every single day on a front lineā¦

And so it beginsā¦
If thereās any Ukrainian Chronies here or has some friends or relatives living there I suggest that you find some shelter, a very safe space to stay or leave the country if you can, and if you have a religion send prayers to that place. Letās hope that all of this ends peacefully and donāt become a full scaled global war.

It began in 2014ā¦wake up ,people. It wont end peacefully ,it will only end then Putin and his war machine will be crushed. Hopefully by US.
I understand that for a lot of you this is āfarā and hardly matters . But he will not stop at Ukraine.

imo heās doing exactly the same thing he did with Georgia 10 years or so ago, just capture some territory, then have a ceasefire, thus leaving the country in a situation where they are technically still at war and partly occupied by Russia and hence are prevented from joining NATO
history repeats itself
he has nothing to gain from trying to capture the whole country indefinitely and in the long run it would cost them possibly everything because itās unsustainable
perhaps he will try to quickly take Kiev and install a pro-Russia leader in Kiev and then leave, as some suggest, but i doubt it

You mean thatās what he did 8 years ago when he first started this war? Now heās coming for the rest of it.
Lebensraum. Also Ukraine is a very good place for growing food in, itās just that for some reason everyoneās failed to take advantage of this as of yet. But someone willing to set up serious agricultural infrastructure there could have a lot to gain from it.
IF weāre speculating at long term goals then as the global climate changes having control over food production will be a very useful strategic resource. This would also render Russia a lot more self reliant and all our sanctions wouldnāt even matter anymore.

no, those were āUkrainian separatistsā, now itās officially Russia officially occupying territory. Thereās a big legal and political difference.
iām just saying what i think it is, time will tell and i honestly dont rly care about being right or wrong in this case
itās horrible and i hope it ends soon

Surely no one doubts that this was russiaās doing from the get go though? No matter how much they lie and obfuscate these āseparatistsā are russians, funded and armed by russia, lead and trained by russian military. Actual russian military personnel was also involved from the start and throughout.
Sure now itās all out in the open, but lets not do them any favours and pretend like we bought their lies in the first place.

yes, of course, but that differing factor might exactly be what prevents Ukraine from becoming a NATO member, and until proven otherwise, thatās what has driven Putin to do what heās doing
is he a madman? yes. is he banking on the rest of the world not doing anything about it? yes (and letās not forget they literally gave them several āgreen lightsā, both the UK and the US by saying several times that they would not physically intervene)
I perfectly understand why heās doing it, if that is indeed why heās doing it. Hell, in the case of Crimea, I honestly wouldnāt have expected anything less from him because he literally had to make that move if he wanted to keep access to that seaport.
I believe his intention is to preserve what little world power and influence they still have by not giving up on regional power and influence, and i think he does so because he thinks itās what is best for his country and ofc for what is to be his legacy.
but ofc u have to be a psychopath to be where he is in the first place
