No, they don't. That's the thing. Even the Russian-speakers in Ukraine are revolted by Russia's action.

Come on, there's no opinion poll on it.

How about all these regions undergo a UN-sponsored referendum? Simple. You will see the result.

Let me ask ya this. You are a French guy, so what will happen if the EU decides French is no longer an official language of the EU? And that French have to learn German to get EU related jobs or interact with the EU?

Also there's no such thing as "native Ukrainian" vs "native Russian" because Ukraine is a country with a civic definition of nationality, not an ethnic one. You're Ukrainian if you're a citizen of Ukraine. It doesn't matter whether your family originated from Ukraine, Russia, or Uganda: citizenship is nationality; nationality is citizenship. (This is a difference from Russia.)

There is. Ethnicity is part of their census.

Fronline combat is just a tiny, tiny part of the war effort. In a modern, professional western army, you've got like 8 or 9 non-combat military job for every single combatant. The rest is logistics, medical, logistics, technical, logistics, intelligence, logistics, administrative, and logistics, with a dash of logistics and some additional logistics for good measure. Combatants need food, they need medical care, they need supplies, they need intel, they need communication and coordination. All these non-combat tasks can be accomplished by non-combatants.

This is what happens in every guerilla. In every insurgency. In every resistance. And this is the kind of war Ukraine is fighting.

Civilians are also good at psy-ops. In some of the cities and towns that Russia managed to seize, there were constant protests against their presence. Not fighting. Just people standing on the streets with signs, shouting slogans. No weapon or violence. Seems pointless, but it demoralizes the Russian troops.

True. But in this case, Geneva Conventions do not apply to the civilians assisting the military. Has the military told the civilians about that?

This is a type of war where the Russians are going very, very soft on their enemy.

I'd understand if volunteers decided to stay, but everybody?!

If true and are sent to the western flank Belarus army is screwed big time but if they are going in to support Kyiv operations then they are moderately screwed but a screwing either way is what Belarus is going to get.

You mean we should gear up to hear more manure masquerading as news like a stinger bringing down a Russian TBM or a Ukrainian babushka knocking off a Russian drone with a bunch of cucumbers. Which among these newsbytes went more viral in trailer park community, sweetie?

If we go by russians stated aim of not occupying ukraine, they have all the time in the world to demolish ukraine given that nato has already thrown the towel. If russia announces they will be moving nukes & s500 to ukraine, nato will be pissing in their pants.

Do you really believe Russia obeys the Geneva Conventions anyway?

In 2014 in Donetsk they mass-executed one thousand Ukrainian troops that had surrendered. That is one of the reasons why the Ukrainians do not see the Russians as their brothers anymore, and why they want to fight to the end instead of surrendering. They know the Russians are bloodthirsty monsters that cannot be trusted. Better to die killing a fascist Russian thug than to be murdered by them like a wimp.

Russia demands Mariupol lay down arms but Ukraine says no

Russia demanded that Ukrainians in the besieged city of Mariupol lay down their arms Monday in exchange for safe passage out of town, but Ukraine rejected the offer. The Russian demand came hours after Ukrainian authorities said Moscow’s forces bombed an art school that was sheltering about 400...

They're very strange neo-nazis that have Jewish members LOL. I think they just hate Russians because they've had problems with them since Stalin and Putin is only exacerbating that.

If Putin had left they country alone, they could have all participated in an internationally monitored election. And yes, there are interviews proving it, the opinion of ethnic Russians in Ukraine has turned. FFS, even Russia's own astronauts are wearing the Ukrainian colours. Russian state journalists are resigning, everyone knows who's wrong (even Russians), except you and a few others on this forum.

How do you think the US all ended up speaking English? It often happens, it's not a genocide. You seriously think that is an excuse for shelling cities? Excuse after excuse for the inexcusable. The BJP are a bit nationalist, so how would you feel if China, with the help of Pakistan, used that as an excuse for invading you and bombing your schools, hospitals and shelters? And then some prick online told you that it was because some members of the BJP are very anti-Muslim and that it wasn't covered by the Geneva Convention because some of your civilians were fighting the Chinese?

Belarus is not Russia, and it absolutely will be attacked if it gets involved. It's a dictatorship too.

There are Irish commentators & analysts of geo political events & there are some more & then there's Paddy. Sometimes I wish I was fortunate enough to have had a bi tonal eyesight like Paddy's & an equally limited brain which recognised & registered only Black & White .

Which brings us to Paddy's moral compass. His moral compass throughout his life has always pointed in the same direction that his dick has pointed out to all his life - southwards , which may or may not be explained by why he gets his behind stimulated.

I'd leave this for the present. Further analysis on Paddy's analysis will be completely dependent on Paddy's analysis of geopolitical events.

PS - he certainly has an uncanny talent for writing material for stand ups. Pity he doesn't quite recognise his own talent in this matter nor has any comedian been lucky enough to spot this uncut unrefined unpolished industrial grade diamond . Truly we live in unappreciated & sad times.

When you're on the same side as the Putin and Xi Jinping, you know you're wrong.

An estimated 2.1–3 million,[A] out of a population of 60.3 million, died of starvation, malaria, and other diseases aggravated by malnutrition, population displacement, unsanitary conditions and lack of health care. Millions were impoverished as the crisis overwhelmed large segments of the economy and catastrophically disrupted the social fabric

During the Japanese occupation of Burma, many rice imports were lost as the region's market supplies and transport systems were disrupted by British "denial policies" for rice and boats (a "scorched earth" response to the occupation).

The colony was also not permitted to spend its own sterling reserves, or even use its own ships, to import food.[218] Although Viceroy Linlithgow appealed for imports from mid-December 1942, he did so on the understanding that the military would be given preference over civilians

More propaganda. Russia needs to end this war. Their performance has been pathetic. Man Pakistan would have given them nightmares if their performance in ukraine is this bad.
