The Russians don’t have Mariupol after bombing it consistently for almost 2 weeks. And Mariupol people don’t want to be part of Russia. That’s why they haven’t surrendered despite the massive destruction caused by Russia.
“That’s why they haven’t surrendered despite the massive destruction caused by Russia.”
How about you post pictures of the massive destruction of Mariupol and validate they are actually from that place.
Otherwise, just another loose cannon spouting off.
Maybe, but I don't think it is that facile. Our media has mentioned in passing that there is a "corruption" problem in the Ukraine. This is in the form of paramilitary organizations that have been incorporated into Ukraine ruling elites (Azov Battalion for example) that will brutalize dissent that may slow an uninterrupted flow of goodies. Remember, the Clinton Global Initiative got real traction with the most obvious coup in the history of coups. So the Azov Battalion brutalizes people with pro Russian sentiment. So if you say "Mariupol people don’t want to be part of Russia," how do you control your gage for measuring this sentiment (public opinion poll?), when the Azov Battalion will seek you out if you express just that? Remember - there has been a 14 year civil war in Donbass and Luhansk. The questions are difficult tand there are no simple answers.
