Feb 19, 2022: Russia ‘must fail and be seen to fail’ if it invades Ukraine, says Johnson
The Guardian ^ | 19 February 2022 | Patrick Wintour

Boris Johnson has declared Russia “must fail and be seen to fail” if it invades Ukraine, warning of a bloody and protracted conflict once Russian troops cross the border

..He said: “If dialogue fails and if Russia chooses to use violence against an innocent and peaceful population in Ukraine, and to disregard the norms of civilised behaviour between states, and to disregard the Charter of the United Nations, then we at this conference should be in no doubt that it is in our collective interest that Russia should ultimately fail and be seen to fail.”

He added: “I believe that in preparing to invade Ukraine, a proud country whose armed forces now exceed 200,000 personnel, considerably more expert in combat today than in 2014, President Putin and his circle are gravely miscalculating.”

Nobody’s talking of invading Russia.
The only folks who will invade Russia in the next 20 years are the Chinese

Those were 9p0. And the bulk of the losses in Donbas were fighting by Russian troops

Putin defined his goals from 2008 when he declared Ukraine an “illegitimate country “

Putin declared his goal when he sent his elite paratroopers to try and capture Kyiv.

“Putin, Xi, and their allies assuming room temperature simultaneously would be best.“

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if all involved in any way with starting this war were dead.

“The only open question is whether Russia will go for Odessa and control over the northern shore of the Black Sea. If they want it, it is probably theirs.“

____________

Of course they demand that, it’s extremely important for their security. That’s not an open question.

Sushiman That’s the USA playbook you are talking about -- sorry, but the USA as a country is a force for good - Brandon may be an idiot, but he is not representing all of the USA

Ukraine is run by whom ? - right now it is run by the Ukrainian people - highly decentralized as is the fighting against the invading army of Putin
