In other words, "the Ukraine war will never end as long as I'm in charge" - Zelensky

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seems like a military coup is a likely possibility if things keep going the way they are.

i can't believe they haven't already killed him the way things are going

Translation, Zelensky will drag this war out until he runs out of people to throw in the meat grinder.

This is like Hitler thinking that "The German-Soviet war must end with LibEraTinG SiBeRiA".

That's a weird comparison, since Russia took Crimea from Ukraine after a covert invasion and sham election. Wouldn't it be more like Czechoslovakia saying that it would take back Sudentenland from Nazi Germany? After all, Russia is invading with the excuse of protecting ethnic Russians.

Sham election? the majority of Crimea is Russian! It was given to Ukraine under soviet administration for easier logistical coordination. This isn't proof of some divine right over ukraine. Any proof it was a sham election besides bluster? they had it like 3 times

The guy is a billionaire with properties in Florida. He's just a western puppet overseeing the destruction of Ukraine, once it's all over he'll flee to the states and live in comfort.

Then I'm afraid that it won't end until the Ukrainians run out of manpower. It seems to me that the Russians have heavy artillery, working supply lines and patience. I'm saddened by stories reportedly from Ukranian soldiers lamenting their lack of equipment and effective defensive positions.

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But do they have working supply lines? They don't seem to do well with supply lines within hostile territory.

[–] Catradora_Stalinism@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

no one has totally secure supply lines in hostile territory, do you think if ukraine invaded crimea (which is 90% ethnic russian) that they wouldn't have the same problem? Even then, Russia has systematically reduced the Ukrainian nationals in number, and slowly built incredibly dependable supply. Ukraine can barely even use the NATO aid it is given

Plenty of proud Ukrainians are ethnically Russian. Plenty of Russian nationals, ethnically Russian, do not support Putin

And I proudly call them all stupid for siding with fascists.

Plenty of Russian nationals, ethnically Russian, do not support Putin

I sure hope so, the leading opposition to putin is the Soviet Communist Party, and this war has increased their numbers drastically

[–] cameraandsickle@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Good luck with that lmao

It's sad to think what Russia has done to the Crimean Tatars.
