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"

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
