russians are doing this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuver_warfare

ukrainians are winning the media and propaganda battle in
the west at least, which makes them morally superior

the moral element in war is important

Yeah moral is still with Ukraine at the moment, have you
seen some of the soldiers/raw recruits the Russians have
sent, they are like 17 they still have bum fluff, they are
rightly terrified and don't even know why they are there

its one of those cases where its hard to watch that other
people are fucked because their country is located between
two super powers.

saying "one of those cases" means it even happens far too
often.

i wonder how far, putin has stated, he is going with this
with his opponents. as in how detailed have they been during
their meetings. i sincerely hope they still talk about stuff
and dont just poker blindly.

ive posted a link to rise and decline of the state already
in this thread

the question is, what happens if the european governments
collapse? everyone will be fighting for different reasons.
there will be gangs, mafia, men trying to impress women,
religions, racial strife, families all competing for power
over different regional areas.

It's not far off from the war in Bosnia years ago. Albeit I
was just a primary school fella back then and don't remember
much, but this is awful to be seeing. Really worried on it
becoming an all or nothing situation cause this is an
embarrassment and a tragedy that an invasion had to happen
at such a bad time in history already. Numbing.

just when i got less afraid of the world going up in flames
they find a new way to destroy it. its like always being one
step late. clearly you could expect people to be clever
enough to not set a nuclear power plant on fire. or use it
as a warzone. or invade a country that clearly rather dies
defending their homes.

Another thing that puzzles me is how russian oligarch
property outside of russia is seized now. I dont know
anything about the russian elite, but isnt seizing private
property just theft in the name of? For all i know they may
have deserved it, but am i the only one who feels a bit
weird about this?

Its amazing how many people on social media are clambering
for WW3 and nuclear annihilation.

was checking this out, isn't this totally
irresponsible to publish something like this? This seems
like Chile and Salvador Allende ect.. ect.. all over again
on a bigger scale.

Perhaps Tony has a point that the west has a part burden of
responsibility for provoking someone as obviously paranoid
as Putin

Obviously I'm not absolving him of war crimes, the invasion
is solely down to him. But lets face it, seems like he took
the bait, its fulfilling all the Americans foreign policy
goals in the region. Every Tom Dick and Harry want to join
NATO now

i find the constant development towards shite
overencumbering. its when fear turns to depression,
acknowledging there is hardly any impact in what we are able
to do as individuals while the herd tramples down oasis
after oasis.

Yeah fear has definitely gone into depression, I saw those
civilians killed by mortar fire just now, a true evil.
People running to escape and the Russians opened fire on
them.

"As the mortars got closer to the stream of civilians,
people ran, pulling children, trying to find a safe spot.
But there was nothing to hide behind. A shell landed in the
street, sending up a cloud of concrete dust and leaving one
family — a mother, a father, a teenage son and a daughter
who appeared about 8 years old — sprawled on the ground.

Soldiers rushed to help, but the woman and children were
dead. The father still had a pulse but was unconscious and
severely wounded"

wonder if russia can take ukraine in 6 weeks too
question then is what does putin do next? moldova and
georgia must be scared to death

plus it's really hard for western countries to send any
weapons or troops to georgia, wonder what turkey will do.

suppose its possibly yeah, Russia seem to be facing alot
more attrition than the nazis did. Got to be honest just
don't know, I hope the Ukrainians keep wrecking the Russia
airforce/army so it becomes too costly for Russia to
continue but I Putin will just go on regardless

the shit out of it now which is obviously horrific.
