In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Zelensky urges 'decisive action' after massive Russian airstrikes, Svartalfiar wrote: Putins aid these attacks on citizens are not wartime actions, but instead are the actions of terrorists, and would not be treated with Geneva convention considerations.
All this to say, Zelensky is claiming the missile strikes were ‘terrorism’. Our Zeepers do the same thing. Whatever you say about them, they say it back - doesn’t matter the situation. Just a parrot tactic.
Russia started it when they invaded for their special military operation.No. Unfortunately, the US STate Department and the CIA 'started' this by overthrowing the Ukraine in 2013-2014, installing puppets, and building an army to go after Putin, then pushing for NATO membership in order to cross Putin's 'red line'.
Russian mass strikes on Ukrainian power isn't justified under Geneva either, so you could certainly claim Russia started the terrorism, because that's not a war crime since this isn't a war, right?
Wrong. Ukraine is the Deep State's home for war crimes. Putin documented the US and other bio warfare labs in Ukraine, as well as unauthorized experiments conducted on Russian soldiers and Ukrainian citizens, and 'downwind' releases of pathogens. He submitted the report to the UN wherein NATO nations, including the US, refused to discuss it. The Ukraine serves the Deep State and all it's evils to an extreme degree - complete lawlessness. You know Western Ukraine was shelling Eastern Ukraine to kill off Ukrainians of Russian decent, and any who supported independence from Kyiv - shelling it's own civilians.
Russia has attacked way more Ukrainian civilians than Ukraine has hit, no question.The region of conflict is the Ukraine, so definitely more citizens in Ukraine have been hit. But Putin doesn't target citizens. The Ukraine is desperate, and targeting citizens (apartment complexes, shooting at civilians in Kursk)
Hardly any of this conflict has directly touched Russian civilians. Ukraine should be trying to shut down Russian power, as much as they can. Goose, meet gander.
False comparison.
Ukraine has no chance in this fight militarily, fighting a defensive war. They never have, just basic physics. Their only chance is to hit Russia and make Russians decide it's not worth it anymore.
That reasoning fails, painfully. The Russians have 200,000 troops in reserve who are going to be coming off their break in the autumn. Guess where they're going? There is zero chance the Kursk was really intending to bow Russia.
The Kursk effort is NATO's continued pattern of working to get WWIII going. Sadly - those dispatched to Kursk are likely never to return home. By sending troops to Kursk, NATO ended the bid for negotiations. By attacking the power plant(s) with Western weapons, they're trying to get Putin to follow through on his statement that if certain weapons are used inside Russia, he will retaliate on the suppliers of those weapons, either upon assets in Ukraine, or on the home nations themselves.
Ukraine continues to send more of it's bets troops to Kursk, Putin lets them come because it's a trap. The other purpose of the Kursk operation is to keep the war going at least until November 5, for fear of costing Dems the election if the war ends with a whimper before then. The Ukrainians were losing the Donbas, they took troops, supplies, scarece weaponry and scarcer air defenses from Donbas, and they continue to do so as Donbas falls, and push them into Russia, where they are destroyed by militias and Russian missiles, (the air defense systems Ukraine brought with them are being destroyed). Cut off whenever Putin decides to close the border, those troops are forfeited in the attempt to make sure there's enough Ukrainians there to fight and die slowly enough to 'make it' to November 5. Those are human sacrifices. Beyond sad. The Ukrainians are NATO's pawns, and NATO expends its pawns without hesitation.
