Ukraine - Russia Conflict

randomradio said:
Pretty much what I said earlier. The Russians never intended to take Kiev. Plus the fact that victory or defeat will be decided on the table.

They tried to take it, they failed, and then they retreated and are now pretending that it was what they wanted to do in the first place. That's ridiculous.

As per Baud, it was the opposite. Ukraine attacked Donbas, and that began on the 16th.

Russia attacked the Donbas first by setting up terrorist militia to try to overthrow Ukrainian control.

Donbas stopped being a Ukrainian matter the minute they decided to disenfranchise Russians. Meaning they stopped having any good intentions for the Donbas region anymore. It's enough for the international community to protect the separatists legally.

They weren't disenfranchised. That's a bunch of bullshit. There was a bill proposed, that didn't even actually pass, that made Ukrainian the sole official language. Everybody is bilingual anyway because these two languages are so close that when you speak one, you can grasp the other pretty quickly.

Anyway if that's disenfranchisement, what should we say about the situation in Kashmir? With the total blackout imposed on the population and so on? Pretty clear that it's enough for the international community to protect the Kashmiri legally by assisting a Pakistani invasion, right?

Not really. They actually want territories of Russian-speaking people.

Putin explicitly demanded a return to 1997 borders, before NATO expansion. Why would he want to have the Baltic states, Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania out of NATO if he's only interested in Russian-speaking people?

Croatia orders 24 Russian embassy staff to leave​

Croatia has ordered 24 Russian embassy staff to leave the country over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and “brutal aggression” there, the country’s foreign ministry says.

The group included 18 diplomats, the ministry said in a statement. Croatia’s move comes after a wave of earlier expulsions by other European countries.

He'll take a little bit more and a little bit more if given the chance, probably with a nuclear threat each time. There are some Russian speakers in lots of places in Europe. The more I think about this, the more I think NATO should be dealing with him now rather than later.

If he wants to make a nuclear threat, we should respond by telling him that Russia and its core allies will be annihilated should any nuclear attack come out of Russia, and let the Chinese work to rein him in on the use of nuclear weapons while NATO pounds the crap out of his army from the air. We'll tell him it's not a war but a special military operation to remove people who haven't realised that the USSR no longer exists from Ukraine.
 
Initially, it was believed that it was a tank of the Russian army that fired at a group of Ukrainian military at point-blank range, but then it turned out that Ukrainian taxi drivers fired at their own at point-blank range. There was an abandoned Russian BMP next to the soldiers, the tankers thought it was the Russian military and opened fire. There is already a video of the dead, but there is one tin on it..


An armada of Russian troops is marching on Kharkiv. Ukrainian media reported satellite images showing a giant Russian column of military equipment with a length of 12 km, going in the direction of Kharkov. Eyewitnesses from Ukraine have already started posting videos of this column of troops. As part of the special operation in Ukraine, a major battle will soon take place in the Donbas. After that, most likely, the troops will go to Kiev, since the success of the peace talks is very doubtful due to the statement of the head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrel, where he reports the need to resolve the conflict in Ukraine "on the battlefield", the actual Ukraine was told to fight.

Analogy doesn't hold as Article 370 was a "temporary" provision which nobody opposing it's revocation bothers to comment on as it undermines the rest of their argument.

Further unlike whatever may or may not have transpired in Ukraine with respect to imposing Ukrainian as the sole national language, the language religion & culture of the Kashmiri Muslims haven't been touched upon in the least thru the revocation of the said Article 370.

Now Russian & Ukrainian - while they may have had common roots & are mostly mutually intelligible though not all dialects are , are considered two separate languages with their own dialects which incidentally the Russians in Russia including Putin don't consider to be true but ethnic Russians in Ukraine do.


Besides Pakistan doesn't need the revocation of the article as an excuse to invade. They've attempted it on multiple occasions before even when the said article was in place with explicit backing from the West. If they were in a position to do something about it now they definitely would've tried.

I keep trying to put forward the idea that the West is trying to portray this incident which is essentially all about power politics by making it all about morality , ethics, sovereignty, a humanitarian crisis & just resistance which it no doubt is, but that's an outcome not the cause of the crisis at hand.
