Ukraine - Russia Conflict

They've damaged a lot of roofs and the falling debris has posed a hazard to motorists. Typical of Russian behaviour on bank holidays. Meanwhile in Russia the same amount of damage will have been caused by drunk drivers alone.
Truly crippling strikes.
An ASBO might be in order.

BONUS or SMART 155 likely.
This is one of the things people are missing when estimating death toll. Russia can't use vehicles on the front as much as Ukraine because of superior anti-vehicle munitions. So they're reduced to infantry advances.

With the exception of the forces being raised for the offensive, Ukraine's forces are extremely poorly trained and extremely poorly equipped. Most of the soldiers at the front today have received barely a few days of training. Most of the brigade-sized units are merely battalions or less. Most of the NATO-trained officers are already dead, very few survive. Yeah, they have infantry gear, but little to no heavy weapons. The new stike force being raised is subject to debate, we need to see their actual performance before commenting on it.
Otoh, Russia's extremely well-equipped and most of their forces are ex-soldiers who have had training and seen service before. Plus a huge chunk of them are not only at full strength, but have been ready to go on the offensive since the last 3 months, not counting the Wagner PMC, which is being reconstituted before the launch of Ukr's offensive. Basically, Wagner PMC alone is as strong, if not stronger than the new forces being raised by Ukr, whereas the Russians could have twice that many in reserve awaiting their chance.
It's part of France and Germany's goal to create a "common defence" plan for Europe outside the ambits of NATO. Although they claim it won't rival NATO, it will still serve to weaken American hold over Europe's defence. If Trump gets reelected, it could result in such problems creeping up again.
While Russia is Europe's biggest threat, they are not stupid enough to get suckered into a war with them over the Baltics. Meaning, any war with Russia will actually have to be serious enough to threaten all of the EU. And the cost of that is both the US and Europe having to relinquish their hold over the world to China and India.
Sure, Turkey and Azerbaijan don't like the Armenians, but attacking Armenia means attacking Russia. CSTO is like NATO, and Russia is obligated to defend the countries within CSTO. The situation is uneasy there, but still within control. Neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia want to go to war.
Otoh, Georgia could become a flashpoint, similar to Ukraine, with their potential for joining the EU and ultimately NATO.

Pretty much all countries outside the West agree with what he said though.
Also, he's referring to the cultural genocide that's taken place in Ukraine over the last few years, it has nothing to do with the war itself.
Why does so much of the Global South support Russia, not Ukraine?
The war is "not simply seen as good guys in the West versus bad guys in Russia." #EuropeNews

Winning in Ukraine, losing the global south?
The west’s focus on the war in Ukraine risks a geopolitically counterproductive neglect of the urgent problems of the global south.

Same goes for India too.
Although, I want Ukraine to win donbass, i fear taking Crimea will precipitate much much worse.
I understand the fear surrounding nukes, but allowing putin to blackmail via nukes is equally dangerous. We might hit 25 + countries with nukes if it isn't checked.
Then it's a race for nuke interceptors and it's a much much much more chaotic world.
Factually, Russia has no claim to Crimea. They recognized Ukraine's borders in 1991 and in 1994.
Russia weakened their own case on Crimea by creating and annexing 4 additional provinces. Also, Ukraine will just have to fight again if Crimea is not retaken.
They are not going to invade Crimea they are going to cut off from Russia, starve it and bomb every Russian base which will be in range HiMARS and cruise missiles. They are likely going to let the bridge stick around so that Russians can escape/leave.
I agree.
Meh! Countries like Iran, North korea, etc. wants Nukes mainly to retain power (To get away with human rights violation without having fear of military interventation by west).
Hmm! They can say that, they conducted referendrum and annexation happen according to international law.
Can you explain more?
Crimea is like a dagger pointed towards Ukraine. Until the dagger is removed, there will never be safety for Ukraine.
Also, their odds of joining NATO are a lot higher with uncontested land.
