Its a two way street, west needs to stop inciting & arming ukraine while russia needs to stop bombings. Do you think if russia stops the actions unilaterally ukraine will say we will let you go back in one piece? They will be further egged on by west to declare victory & encourage to kill not just russian military but also the regions which were declared independent. This proxy war is not just abt ukraine , it is abt wests influence & power, they are just unwilling to let it go.

Truth Is Another Front in Putin's War
In the tense weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russian officials denied that it planned anything of the sort, denouncing the United States and its NATO allies for stoking panic and anti-Russian hatred. When it did invade, the officials denied it was at war. Since then, the Kremlin...
Ukraine announced today that its forces have shot down the deputy commander of Russia's Black Sea fleet, in a further blow to Vladimir Putin's forces.
Senior Captain Andrei Pali, 51, was the first senior naval officer to be killed in the war in Ukraine.
Pali is suspected of being involved in attacks by Russian marines near Mariupol. However, the exact circumstances of his reported death are not yet known.
Born in Kiev, Pali refused to take the Ukrainian military oath in 1993, serving instead in Russia's Northern Fleet. Prior to that he served on the Russian nuclear missile cruiser Peter the Great. He was also deputy director of the Russian Naval Academy in Sevastopol, in annexed Crimea.
The Ukrainian armed forces also announced on Saturday the elimination in combat of Russian Lieutenant General Andrei Mordvchiov, commander of the 8th Army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation, who was killed on March 19 in Chernobayevka, Herson region.
While analysts say some 20 generals are running Moscow's operations in Ukraine, the five confirmed deaths mean that a quarter of Putin's top men have been killed in action, reports the UK-based Express.
According to the adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, Vadim Denisenko, even during the Second World War, the Soviet Union did not lose so many generals in just three weeks.
Denisenko, who made the remarks on local TV channel "Rada", said he had no objection to such a situation occurring again if the invaders continue their aggression.
The first Russian general to be killed in the fighting in Ukraine was Magomed Tusaev, who died on 26 February near Kiev. On 15 March, General Oleg Mityaev, commander of a Russian motorised division, was killed by the Ukrainian "Azov" militia.
Major-General Vitali Gherasimov, Chief of Staff and First Deputy Commander of the 41st Army of the Russian Central Military District, was killed in fighting in Kharkov, and General Andrei Kolesnikov - Commander of the 29th Army of the Russian Eastern (Far Eastern) Military District - on 11 March.

The reason they're arming Ukrainians is because they're being invaded. That is not a two-way street.Its a two way street, west needs to stop inciting & arming ukraine while russia needs to stop bombings. Do you think if russia stops the actions unilaterally ukraine will say we will let you go back in one piece? They will be further egged on by west to declare victory & encourage to kill not just russian military but also the regions which were declared independent.

It's about Russia a) Stopping Ukraine from becoming a rival supplier of oil and gas to the EU; and b) Stopping Ukraine from joining the EU and becoming a showcase for Russians next door who think Putin's management of Russia's economy has been crap.
Belarus next door is a pro-Russian dictatorship, if their people ever decided they wanted democracy you'd probably blame NATO for that too. You have democracy, maybe you are a western conspiracy too.

That's Russia's narrative. Which is that anytime a country decides to attach itself to the West and escape Russia, it can only be because of Western interferences. Because it's impossible for people to have their own agency, and it's also impossible to not want to be oppressed by Russia. I mean, read that shit:
Russification of Ukraine - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Obviously that's cool and good and people would want more of it, right? When the Ukrainians declared independence in 1917, certainly it was already a nefarious plot from the West.
Look, you can find old news about something both sides have done since the beginning of the Cold War, but this war wouldn't have happened had Zelensky not been led to believe NATO would come.
All my English sources are from the West. I only bother India-specific news about the war within India. Since the last 1 week or more, I have fallen behind Russian soruces. In fact my last known non-English news was some Ukrainian propaganda about Russian troops getting ready to attack Dnipro.
Agreed. But that's not the point I was making when I said that.
Too bad Zelensky disagreed with Putin. That is the point I was making.
Putin knows, you know, I know, but Zelensky doesn't.
Point taken. It's the same reason why I say the US should protect Taiwan from China. Because in time, the Chinese will see that life in democratic Taiwan is much better than autocratic China no matter how much wealth they have. Taiwan's independent existence is of vital importance ideologically because it's the only real example left of Han Chinese in a free society governed by themselves.
But Ukraine will not give a similar result, especially with the Russian language being discarded in a "democracy". Putin can very easily make a "Democracy is not for Russians, comrades, look how we are treated in Ukraine, under the EU" play. Plus there are other Russians in other democracies who are doing better than Ukrainian Russians in any case, like Latvia and Estonia. Russians becoming second-class citizens in Ukraine doesn't help this cause. Plus it's not like Ukraine is richer than Russia. It's more than twice as poor and will take a long time to catch up to the quality of life in Russia.
Ever heard of something called "design"? Western tanks are heavier because they are bigger because they carry an extra crew. So you need more armour to protect a bigger tank, which means more weight, which means more engine power, which means more fuel, which means more volume, which means more weight. Bigger doesn't mean better. What matters more is design and the ratio between the weight of the armour and tank, and even the volume of armour vs volume of a tank.
The 70T tank you keep talking about is a modified Challenger 2, and it's complete sh1t. And if you're referring to Abrams, then you clearly do not know concepts like long ton and short ton.
Nope. Try 2040+. The Russians are getting their better stuff right now.
Those that can't pretty much already have strong leadership, genius. It's how they can stay in power.
What's the difference between the two graphs?Russian losses over the period from 4 to 19 March show no sign of abating and continue to accumulate at a constant rate.
---- Evolution base 100 to 4 March -------------------------------------------------------------- In numbers, source Oryx
Proof of Russian restraint.
The other side will also draw their own red line which the Russians cannot/should not cross. Think of all the current NATO countries, those are the NATO's red line.
Haha... Forget it, I obviously didn't expect you to understand such abstract concepts.

Poor communications technologies in Russian hands and NATO intelligence seems to be doing all the work.
A more realistic version would have been the NATO soldier trying (pretending) to take a step into Ukraine.
I just looked up your statements wrt M1 vs T-14 and the dimensions are more or less the same, so wrong again. Russian MBTs were a generation behind (minimum) in terms of armour at end or Cold War and still are., you only have to check out the survival records in combat. The M1 of today is not the M1 of 1990, ditto for Challenger.
Complete shit that for some reason no enemy has ever managed to destroy even one of, ditto for Challenger, despite multiple heavy RPG and ATGM hits on single vehicles.
What better stuff is that then? The Su-57 stealth fighter that has to fly at low altitude to avoid being shot down?
I'm not seeing any of it, sorry.This just means you have no comeback.
You mean dictators? The term 'strong leader' is misleading, because that suggests a strong performance across the board, like in economics etc. Putin is not that. And really, we're calling dictators 'strong leaders' now?
There are probably much less tanks now though.
