I mean you can say the same thing about Nagorny Karabakh and not a single person cared. |

Report:
Wagner has been one of the few groups that achieved any success at all in the last year - but at TREMENDOUS cost to Wagner. That's 62,000 casualties out of 78,000 troops. Ukraine is fighting ferociously and is causing massive casualties to Russian invaders. No wonder Russian troops call Ukraine the "meatgrinder." Russia would be better off just quitting rather than continuing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/wagner-suffered-staggering-losses-in-ukraine-official-says-28-dead-a-further-51-wounded-totaling-62k-casualties-in-just-over-a-year/ar-AA1ea8Ur |
Unlike Ukraine, they never reached out to try and build friendships and alliances with us. If you want someone to help, try to first make a friend of them. |
I see. In other words, people striving for independence are only as good as their “in” with America? That’s good to know. I mean one is almost tempted to conclude that friendship comes before legitimacy. |
Ukraine is taking massive casualties too. If Russia was that badly off, we’d see better battlefield results for Ukraine and we haven’t yet. |
That’s what Palestinians say about the Phoenician kingdom but who cares? Too long ago. |
You're free to start a thread about it if it's such a big deal to you. |
Ukraine didn't start the war, though. |
You're probably trying to make a reference to Israel but the two biggest land grabbers in 2023 are Russia (Ukraine) and China (Pacific) |
None gets the support Israel does. Reminds one of the old adage - America will fight for human rights and freedoms with wild abandon - but only with its enemies. Its friends are allowed to violate these rights all day long. |
Ukraine's loss ratios have not been as bad as Russia's. And again, sorry to disappoint you but nobody with a brain wants to go blindly charging across fields strewn with thousands of Russian mines without first making it safe to do so, which takes time. They are taking their time. And if you had been paying attention you might notice that they have been very surgical and strategic, for example specifically targeting Russian artillery and ammo stockpiles, as opposed to just randomly blasting away at everything the way the Russians have been trying to do. |
An "old adage" that you just made up 5 minutes ago. It's a big world, and at any given time there is a lot of strife going on, the world is full of noise. If you want attention, you have to step up, welcome the US as a friend and make it worthwhile. |
If you're referring to why the US hasn't done much to help Palestine, it's probably because Palestine has for most of its life since the 1940s has chosen to be adversarial to the US and to cozy up to enemies of America. |
No one knows for sure what their loss ratios are. It’s all projection. Another interpretation of your “surgical and strategic” line is that Russia has built formidable defenses that are extremely hard to breach. |
The Gulf monarchies, in the meantime, have allowed the US to cozy up to them, and consequently are allowed to oppress their subjects with impunity. |
