“Russia doesn’t have to attack Kiev. Encirclement and starvation is far more crushing than rolling down streets and shooting up buildings.”
Millions of Russians have friends and loved ones in Kiev. Armies would mutiny or a general would put a bullet in Putin’s head long before the first Ukrainian starved.
500 russian tanks and APCs are converging on Kiev now. Putin is panicking and this will get ugly.
Some people haven’t read the news today, apparently. Reports out of Ukraine tonight that the eastern cities have held. That’s basically Russia and Putin has lost them. Probably because the crazies he installed in his fairy tale Donbas republics.
I’d like to take this time to thank you and lodi for keeping a level head here. Some of the people on this forum have gone off the deep end and are driven bat-shit crazy that their boy Pooty has lost the plot.
This is correct. In nearly every satellite there are Russians left behind with family in Russia. Ukraine is even worse in that regard, it is the heart of Russians, the heartland of the Rus. There are lots of people in Russia with roots there.
Putin has been drinking his own Koolaid about neo-nazis.
No one would starve. They would surrender. That’s the point of starvation. The army can no longer lift a gun, and if the military hordes the food, the civilians will overthrow the govt. Every moment they are told food is just minutes away. All they need do is surrender.
This is just more of the bizarre delusion from you wackos.
