Invasion of Ukraine • Page 42

Very successful day yesterday

 

Simon has one of the best Youtube explainer video empires out there, and this video is no exception

 

Fuuucck. Crazy to see just how effective these have been. And it's been several weeks now since we initially had all the news about how many ammo dumps they were destroying, yet I bet all 16 or so systems have been launching missiles day in and day out since they've been received

We should have listened.

 

It's already been demonstrated by Putin himself in the last several months that his invasion had nothing to do with NATO expansion, and appeasement or reconciliation would have done nothing to ensure the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Putin simply could have decided not to invade Ukraine, and none of this would have happened. Every death on the battlefield in Ukraine is 100% Putin's fault

 

What has got me thinking lately is just how deeply harmed Western relations with Russia will become - I mean this will take decades to heal. The government would need a total overhaul for rapprochement to really take place. And culturally it'll take even longer to heal; Ukrainian hatred of Russia/Russians might not ever heal, and once Russia finally retreats from Ukraine in embarrassing defeat, that will shake the confidence and dignity of ordinary Russians for a long time. And with the West moving to de-couple themselves from Russian gas and oil as fast as possible, the economic force Russia was before the invasion most likely will never be seen again. One of the greatest blunders in world leader history

 

Nothing is ever this black and white.
