Easter Sunday in Kharkiv began with a russian drone attack that injured five people. In the early afternoon, the city was hit by glide bombs; at least three struck, destroying homes and injuring fifteen individuals.
Yes I guess we should be thankful the orcs are incompetent in their terrorist attacks on civilians it’s an Easter miracle. What a stupid ass hot takeI guess those Russians just can't seem to kill anyone with their shovels. Maybe they need to talk to the Israelis and have them show them how it is done. 2+ years fighting in Ukraine and Russia is struggling to keep pace with Israel's rate of killing civilians...
These people think we are still living in 1989 when China and Russia were on their knees and the US was emerging as the leading economy and super power. They act as though the Chinese and Russians don't have an engineering and industrial advantage over the US in 2024.
Everything is basically the opposite of what these nutjobs have been saying in the media and these boards. Eventually, Russia will be charging in there on their trusted mounts and shovels.
Either way, the grind will continue is my bet.
Sovereignty: where you get thrown into unmarked van and than thrown into a ditch to meet your maker via artillery shell to the head.
It still seems like the easiest and best way to win is for the us to commit troops. We've positioned ourselves both as a super power and a global champion of democracy, so it diminishes our standing globally by not getting directly involved. It makes sense tactically as well because the battle lines in ukraine are clear and relatively small. If ukraine falls to russia -- and when a country falls to russia it's a brutal rapey, genocidal affair -- it's got to make other border countries less sure of their loyalties, whether it might not be less costly in terms if capital and men to join the russians. Worse if trump follows through on his promise to extort nato countries for protection, that could make surrender even more likely. Theres no way out of this without losing american lives. Russias bringing the war to us. Better to try to nip it, than shirk our duty as the global defender of democracy.
