It's interesting how the two of the supposedly invincible S-400 systems were destroyed making possible the strike on the drydocks where the landing ship and the submarine were undergoing maintenance.
The idea that Russia could negate Western air power just like that is seems invalid.
What Russia shines at is information warfare. Many a feeble minded Westerner have bought into the lies of the Kremlin. This is why gaining immunity against Russian propaganda is important.
The fact that Ukrainian forces are now able to destroy s400 systems with ease?
Not to mention that it just seems like Russian forces continue to take catastrophic losses until finally the full combat capability destruction has occurred.
Russia literally is about to remove itself from this conflict.
Our big problem happens to be the entire power vacuum when the Russian federation collapses.
The problem with the Western approach is that no clear theory of victory has been defined. I think the goal should be the eviction of Russian forces from inside all of Ukraine's 1991 borders and helping Ukraine retain its full sovereignty. Whatever the fallout from that might be should be left to Russia to deal with. For Ukraine to insure its long-term future, it needs to join the EU and NATO. Once if fulfills all the criteria, it should be welcomed.
Russia may or may not collapse in case of Ukraine's victory. That is far from certain. Whatever the result, the long-term containment of Russia is clearly in our interest. Any resultant problems in Russia are Russia's own.
Ukrainian forces have repeatedly stated that the goal is completing 100% removal of all Russian military units from Ukrainian territory.
However Russia is working really hard on liquidating 100% of its military. In the current moment we are watching Russia's strip military units from the entire country leaving all of Russia vulnerable. Nothing clarifies that fact more than what seven? Seven invasions of Russia by Russians LOL. And now we are graphically seeing Russia being unable to defend itself anywhere but the military front lines.
And then now Russia has been robbed of the Black Sea. And the Black Sea fleet has been forced to the east side of the Black Sea and to be locked in at anchor.
Russia is getting beat by a country that has no Navy.
and helping Ukraine retain its full sovereignty"
it needs to join the EU and NATO. "
The Dutch law is for 80% EU law so how full sovereign would Ukraine be then?
Whatever the result, the long-term containment of Russia is clearly in our interest."
Who is ours?
The Netherlands is free to exit the EU at any time. It has joined it voluntarily.
"Whatever the result, the long-term containment of Russia is clearly in our interest."
Any European with a functioning brain. Russia is an existential threat to the Ukrainian people. Muscovy is an imprisoner and destroyer of nations and peoples. It is currently waging a genocidal war on one of its European neighbors and it has clear intentions to restore its dominance of Eastern Europe.
It has joined it voluntarily."
To be precise if im correct. The Dutch people voted against EU membership, against the Euro and against Ukraine EU membership because of the mess its in.
But you wanna tell me we joined voluntarily? 🥱
Any European with a functioning brain"
We Europeans dont even got an army but going to war with Russia is having a functioning brain?
Russia is an existential threat to the Ukrainian people"
Russia and Ukraine are none of my business and if they are are problem why aint you at the frontline instead of being keyboardwarrior? Or you just prefer Ukranians die for your narative?
The Netherlands is free to exit from the EU at any time. Just do what the Brits did.
"Any European with a functioning brain"
Who says anything about starting a war on Russia? Besides, a war between Russia and us might not be our own choosing. By the way, letting them have easy time with Ukraine and hoping for the best would be an idiotic strategy. Russia will always push as far as it is allowed to. It also goes without saying that in addition to countries bordering Russia countries further in the west should rearm themselves as fast as possible.
"Russia is an existential threat to the Ukrainian people"
That's an idiotic take. Ukrainians are going to have to defend against Russia no matter what. The only choice they have is between allowing the destruction of their nation being subject to untold horrors at the mercy of Russian occupiers and fighting back.
Not supporting Ukraine would be idiotic because Russia has declared reclaiming its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe as its goal. Any Eastern European would be stupid not to agree to support Ukraine. And because most Eastern European countries belong to NATO and the EU, any Russian incursion into Eastern Europe is automatically very much a business of Western Europeans as well.
Supporting Ukraine through giving it military equipment, money and political as well as diplomatic support is entirely in the interest of all Europeans. The horde must be contained. The Cold War is back.
That's an idiotic take."
No thats comon sense.
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha!
Swallow the Putin sperm...
