This author assumes the Russians have more missiles, more aircraft, and more troops in reserve. They don’t.
The reality is that the Russians are fighting this war with the most conventional power they can bring to bear.
They are woefully short of advanced weapons systems, their tactics are criminally pathetic, their logistics reeks of corruption, and now it’s starting to look like some of the grievous losses the Russians have suffered were from Russian friendly fire.
A Russian column on the E105 north of Kharkiv was discovered to have been destroyed in the early stages of the war and the wreckage is only now being discovered. The Ukrainians disavow responsibility for the destruction. Which means the Russians killed each other.
What a circus.
As for the atrocities the first one is Russia invading Ukraine. That’s the only one that matters here.
Once the Russian troops crossed into Ukraine they took their chances. Let them go back to Russia and the atrocities end.
Otherwise I wish the Ukrainian people good hunting and perhaps they might take a note from Vlad Tepes on how to deal with invaders.
As for the atrocities the first one is Russia invading Ukraine
—————
Wrong, the first were committed by Ukraine in 2015 when they started shelling the ethnic Russian eastern independent provinces. 22,000 deaths by Ukrainian Territorial Defense forces, many Azov units, have been reported and are on record with the UN.
For all those believing the western narrative... How about some common sense..
Russia strikes a defense pact with Venezuela and Columbia. Soon Panama and Costa Rica join, to be followed in subsequent years by Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala.
Russia supplies these countries with weapons and on-ground military manpower and logistics, including nuclear capabilities.
The US asks for, and receives assurances from both Mexico and Russia that Mexico will never join the Russian alliance.
During this time, US ex-pats living in a concentrated area of Baja California are being targeted and killed by Mexican nationalists, who have stated their genocidal intent. The ex-pats implore the US to help.
The US discovers Russia Is supplying arms to Mexico and sending advisers and personnel to train the Mexican forces. In addition, the US discovers 26 bio-weapon labs are scattered close to the border, funded and under direction of Russia.
The US is aware that Russia is an advocate of and intent on establishing a new one world order, and considers the US an obstacle that must be removed to achieve their goal.
Finally, the Russian prime minister gives a speech and states that Mexico is considered a Russian pact nation.
What do you suppose the US should believe and do. Should they trust Russia and do nothing? Or believe the obvious and take strong action to protect their interests and countrymen?
Remember... JFK almost took the US to nuclear war for far less, and did, in fact, invade a sovereign nation, Cuba (Bay of Pigs).
