Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress]

[DaRude]

Only a lowlife scumbag wouldn't feel sorry for the death of an innocent child hit by cowards while they cross a bridge in their car with their parents

After everything what Russia already did in Ukraine I should be sorry about death of Russians. Hmmmm, no. But unlike some lowlife Russian scumbags I don't celebrate death of people when they hit apartment buildings, hospital or shop.

Another dope here justifying the death of an innocent child folks ^^^ Luckily the evil russians are only staying down in a small part of ukraine and not rolling tanks all over it in response.Ukraine wouldn't last 1 day if the russians decided to go all out on it. Ukraine is literally bankrupting us in the west and trying to get us all killed in a nuclear war with russia. Let politican scumbags send their own children over to fight. How come the ukrainian capital is still standing if the russians are so evil? Even the dopiest animal with a debased IQ knows the russians could level ukraine without setting foot in it. Why do they stay down in the east part only if they are so intent in destroying ukraine. Fucking liars think we are all stupid in the west and tell us Ukraine is fighting for its existence looking for more money and weapons while they eat ice cream in its capital and kidnap men off the streets to send them out to be slaughtered in the east of it to get back those mineral deposits for the vulture funds.

Oh really, Russia didn't even started seriously and they haven't took Kyiv in 3 days just because they don't want.

Empathy and compassion, is what makes us human, lack of empathy is a hallmark trait of sociopaths and psychopaths (or perhaps in this case just propagandists stirring up hatred?). This is just a silly attempt at False dilemma, vast majority are fully capable of feeling sorry for innocent lives lost on both sides. Not even mentioning victim blaming (irrespective of how poor their choices appear to you)

Meanwhile, Ukraine seems to have lost access to the Black Sea. Physically, it is, but it is impossible or extremely difficult to use it. The naval blockade of Ukraine begins at 00:00 Moscow time on July 20, while nothing is known about the timing of the end of the blockade.

Oh, I see. So if an US ship and a Turquiyan ship decide to go to Odessa, the RF fleet in the Black Sea will go there and stop them / sink them? And then nothing will happen and no retaliation will take place because "the RF has decided to blockade". Is that what you mean? Is that how this plays out in your mind? So no more "smoking in the wrong place" accidents as a result?

Anyway, this is more a marketing campaign more than anything else, possibly to distract from the situation in Bakhmut.

Montreux Convention, Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits have been closed off to warships for a while now. Lets attempt to limit the spread of propaganda. Not to mention that the area would be heavily mined, and no insurance company would cover any vessel, just the logistics of that would heavily outweigh the profit from the grain. If by some insanity a NATO country decided to enter a declared war-zone/mined area, article 5 would not apply to them and they'd be left on their own i.e. so no, Poland cannot send a boat there to be blown up and then expect NATO to get involved in WW3

It seems like every morning I wake up and read more terrible news about this war. Today it’s Ukraine’s ports being bombed. There are videos surfacing of captured Ukrainian troops saying they were threatened with jail if they didn’t fight. I don’t know how much longer we’re expected to pay for this horrible proxy war, but I for one don’t think Ukrainians should be forced to fight in it or face jail.

well, it's not up to them anymore. if they don't fight, they'd be considered a deserter.  i saw a video of a Ukrainian running toward Russian troops, he was congratulated because the war is over for him.

the proxy war's end game is not to win but just to prolong this war and seems no one ever asks they send a ton of money from the taxes of the people yet they are not winning. it's always too late when one realizes something.

Only thing proxy in this war is the fact that Ukraine is now defending the whole Europe.

It sounds like you haven't heard about conscription. And apparently you live in a country that never needed to fight a full scale war just to exist if you don't know how deserters are dealt with.

Do you know what happens to Russian deserters if they get caught by russia? Or historically to deserters of any country that's in full scale war with outsider invader? If you don't know, jail is pretty humane solution.

Many Americans fled to Canada to escape the Viet Nam draft. Many Ukrainians fled Ukraine months ago... some having guessed what would be happening.

Gotta keep your eyes on what is happening, and be decisive while there still is time. If you are not decisive in a timely manner, somebody else will be decisive for you... maybe in ways you don't like.

But you really are not coping well with reality. Russia is basically in cold war with the all the civilized countries. You know, countries that have elections.

Elections are overrated

Russia also has elections. And in the progressive democratic Great Britain, Spain and Sweden, the monarchy. The problem is not the absence of elections, but the absence of a strong systemic opposition with a coherent program. Or take, for example, the United States, a stronghold of world democracy with bright, beautiful faces. In appearance, there is a real systemic opposition and a real turnover of power, with periodic rotation between Democrats and Republicans. But if you look at the program of the modern Democrats, it looks suspiciously much like the program of the Republicans of half a century ago, and the program of the modern Republicans, it looks very much like the program of the Democrats of half a century ago. In just a few decades, Democrats and Republicans programmatically changed places with a change of all the main vectors by 180 degrees. Modern public politics in democratic countries is show business. Externally and internally, the political course of the United States weakly correlates with who is now in the oval office of the White House and which political party now has a majority in Congress. Democracy is noodles on the ears for suckers.

In Ukraine, which is fighting for the ideals of democracy, now the strongest censorship and military dictatorship. Anyone who disagrees with Zelensky's course immediately goes to jail and is subjected to punitive methods similar to the fascist Gestapo of the era of the Third Reich.

As a Russian i am sure you know all about censorship, dictatorship and corruption. And looking from your perspective, i can totally understand why wouldn't you see democratic working governments other than a big lie, i mean that's all you had in whole history of your country. So why would others have better, right? On top of that your media gets confirming clips from borderline 5th colonna wannabes like Tucker Carlson and from our country equivalents of extreme right-wing putinists who also happens to believe that world is flat.

That's also why you see extremism as only solution for change. How ever you don't seem to have a clue that if your solution an anarchist only resets the system starting from a scratch again. Resulting to the outcome where men with biggest resources and most guns get to build another system with their band of criminals. And result would probably look something you are living under now.

Real working democratic governments come from adults doing the hard work, building a system that protects itself and all citizens of it, while giving voices to everyone. And sometimes those voices can be annoying, disrupting and even weaponized by other countries. But your system needs to be resilient to that. That's why extremists think that their voices aren't heard. Because even if their party gets elected it can't destroy the whole country even if it would have several terms. System and constitutional laws would prevent that.

Country in full scale war however are often under martial law. That's most effective way to keep your country running as democratic laws can take time to take effect and you need to make life changing fast decisions.

I am sorry if you feel that was too dumbed down but i feel like i needed to.

In other words, you yourself admit that democracy cannot defend itself by democratic means. A little earlier, you said that Russia is now in a state of cold war. Well, where does democracy come from in modern Russia if it is not effective in the face of external threats? What I dislike most about people is hypocrisy and double standards. You do not have democracy in Finland because you have lost your neutrality and have been drawn into the NATO military bloc. You live in a totalitarian state, simply because now you can't do it any other way. So don't tell me about the benefits of democracy, your vote as an elector decides absolutely nothing. Open your eyes and have the courage to face reality. Democracy is the shit that the aging hegemon in the face of the United States feeds its vassals from a shovel so that they remain weak and can continue to be plundered without hindrance. Russia has challenged the existing world order and its current totalitarian system is not a whim of Putin, but the only viable option to change the world for the better, to make it more fair and honest. You don't like it, but that doesn't stop the truth from being true.

What? That's pretty rich and sad projecting coming from a man living under 24/7 dictatorship and fantasizing about anarchism. It doesn't surprise me that you don't know how democracy or social democracy keep working but i am not going to educate you about that because you can totally use wikipedia for that (if russia haven't blocked it again). I am sure you are been told it doesn't work because if Puting would rather suppress it China way. But i am not sure how that suppressing of opposition would would even differ from any other day under putinist dictatorship. So many people have been falling from russian balconies and windows that you should send those to the battlefield. It's insanely absurd how you in denial you have to be to believe the kremlin propagada anymore.

And yeah we very much made a calculated deal with NATO because we don't want to get invaded by you guys. That was something historical as we always were against joining nato. But now we see that as lesser evil so imagine how much more we disliked actions of Putin. We got bored of your bullying, fifth colonna troll tactics and fly overs.

I think you should stop comsuming so much Russia propaganda if you're going to keep falling for it.

Ahaha, your "calculated deal" to join NATO was made by your ex-prime minister's rabid cunt, contrary to public opinion, which at that time was against it. That's all there is to know in Finnish democracy. When choosing the lesser evil, remember that you have chosen evil anyway.


upd: Meanwhile, nothing special is happening on the fronts, and this seems to play into the hands of Russia - the lack of significant successes among the soldiers of Ukraine is losing morale, and irritation is growing in the West. More and more often in the United States, there are rumors that Kyiv's bet on F16 fighters will not work, that Ukraine does not really need ATACMS missiles, and nothing has been heard about Abrams tanks lately either. It seems that the US resolve to support Ukraine until complete victory is fading along with confidence in the possibility of achieving this victory. Elections are coming soon in a democratic US, and the unfinished gestalt of the Ukrainian conflict is bad baggage on the pre-election finish line.

Actually Finland didn't decide to join NATO until after a clear majority of Fins supported it.  In Jan 2022, their ex prime minister (a lovely lady imo) made it clear she didn't think Finland would be joining in the near future.  https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finlands-pm-says-nato-membership-is-very-unlikely-her-watch-2022-01-19/

Polling shows support for joining NATO growing in Feburary 2022 and then for some reason there was a pretty big jump to a clear majority  right around the first week of march.

Data manipulation and fraud most likely unless the Fins are a lot more suicidal and stupid than I would have thought.  The 'polls' always show what the polling entities are getting paid to show in corrupt scientismistic societies.  The problem became much worse as the WEF 'young global leaders' (or 'young global scapegoats' or 'young global degenerates' or all three) matriculated and were installed into their assigned places as cabinet members and heads of state.

Or maybe the polls aren't rigged and the public opinion on joining NATO shifted to a clear majority because Putin invaded Ukraine.

Level of maturity here hints me i am not talking with an adult so i'll watch closer what i say.
Yeah, we all were against the nato for a while until Putin showed his true skin.

contrary to public opinion, which at that time was against it

This sentence is contradicting itself. Are you saying that we really didn't want to join nato but publc opinion is that we did?
Yeah, we have few people who didn't want to join and like in democracy no one is shutting their voices down. No one was canceling those tiny protests either. I for one didn't want to join before this. I know one guy who didn't want to join and i totally respect his opinion but majority of finnish people wanted to join as fast as humanly possible. It actually united Finland more then ever.

Funny how little you know about our politics, i mean you live right beside us. Could it in any way be that you have been listening to trolls instead of real news?

And yeah, big win for you that we chose LESSER evil then the dictatorship you are living in. I really do feel sorry for you about that.

Data manipulation? You know nothing about Yle or finnish politics. Take a look of any list of least corrupt countries.

Here's one: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2022

Finland actually lost their spot as the least corrupt country in 2021 to Denmark.  They're tied for second with New Zealand now.

Russia is tied for the 137th least corrupt Nation, slightly less corrupt than Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan.  Well done Putin.

Now we get to hear from the conspiritards about how the list must be NATO funded and published by a bunch of Jewish transgender Nazis that enjoy recreational abortions.
