[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But would you not agree that it appers to be Russia is winning more battles and gaining more land in eastern Ukraine? [/quote]

NP. Yes. But was that the ultimate goal? No. It was a quick, special operation to decapitate.

They didn't do that. [/quote]

OP here. Yes, I do agree Russia has not achieved their initial objectives but at the end of the day, it's all about control and Russia seems to gaining control over eastern Ukraine (and paying heavy price for it). I don't see the weapons we are sending now helping Ukraine regaining lost areas do you? US is too slow to act, it seems. [/quote]

Wasn't much of the area that looks to soon be firmly under Russian control [i]very much[/i] under Russian control before February? It seems possible that when fighting eases Russia will have taken Mariupol and little else that wasn't very much under its thumb already.

Or am I incorrect? [/quote]

oh please.  To win some villages in Ukraine and one port, but lose all the important markets for your oil and to become international pariahs like N. Korea?  That is not winning.[/quote]

Today they are international pariahs. In 50 years? The world isn’t static.[/quote]

How are they a pariah? They are welcome in China, India, Brazil, most of Africa, much of Asia, most of Latin America.  You have what I call white blindness, you think that only things done by white people matter.

The jury is out on how the world will see Bucha 50 years from now.  The fog of war is thick with lies on both sides.  Ukraine has already admitted most stories of mass rape and child rape were fabrications.  The woman who pushed these stories out (gleefully picked up by most mainstream media without a question, I should note) explained her actions as "we are fighting an information war."  The touching photo of a child with vital info written on her back in case "she is captured by the Russians"?  Fabrication. Yet much of it is regurgitated in the media mindlessly because the narrative of the war has been crystallized and facts don't really matter. [/quote]

LMAO!  You're delusional, Sergei.  Even Russia's closest ally Belarus isn't in a full embrace with Russia.

China has been distancing themselves from the dumpster fire that is Russia.  They backed out of a key banking deal that would have held their credit cards afloat, backed out of deals to supply key materials needed by their military and so much more.  India is just taking advantage of Russia's fire sale on oil and gas.  There isn't much to be had from the rest - Cuba, Venezuela, some flaky pundits and minority faction leaders in third world countries who have nothing of substance to offer.

Just look at the UN votes of condemnation for Russia for their invasion of Ukraine.  Overwhelming condemnation, only a tiny handful of countries that either voted to oppose or non-vote regarding condemnation.

Get a grip.  Get in touch with reality.  The world hates Russia for what they've done.[/quote]
