Why dont they cut electricity in Kiev and other cities they siege? Why dont they kill the internet in all these cities? Why dont they bombard civillian blocks?
Rusian bros answer me! Why do you treat them with soft hands? Look at western media, they already paint you as mosnter when you treat youe enemies so good...
>hey your government is illegitimate, I'll kill them legitimately now
Charles Torres
That's a good question. Putin is playing mr nice guy way too much. If it was me I would already be executing EU/NATO members.
Christopher Mitchell
You just figured this out?
Nicholas Rodriguez
That does sound retarded, but it's actually better for all when fewer ukranians are killed.
James Adams
Russia has good artillery and they have barely used it
Austin Long
Russia fears the western response if they push too brutally, same reason truckers cucked out in their protests, fear.
Jonathan Diaz
Because they think that ukrainians and russians are the same ethnic group. The point is to add them to the country.
Blake Rivera
What he meant is that they were trying for a smooth takeover with a thousand deads at best I say "were" because probably Putin will go harder now
Adrian Garcia
>>hey your government is illegitimate, I'll kill them legitimately now I wish someone would do this to my government
Isaiah Campbell
IDK. I think Russia combined with China would eventually win. It would be years of hell however.
Mason Rodriguez
They are trying to be surgical probably The western response is irrelevant They can't go at war with Russia directly. At best (and that's probably already true) it's a proxy war with contractors and equipment. It's more of a matter with internal public opinion probably, he doesn't want to be seen as bloodthirsty and he still received criticism and protests
Ethan Ross
Interesting. But at this point, PR is 0 in the world and in ukraine.
Landon Murphy
I think Putin is delusional. He thought ukrainians as inferior russians with no backbone who would just scatter in fear and collapse. Ultimately he is benevolent towards them. It didn't exactly go as he had hoped.
I don't think he has mental fortitude to recalculate this and theres no way back. There can be no negotiations since Ukraine won't accept terms he needs to save face, damage is already done. He can't even swallow the gun because that would leave russia in chaos.
I kinda feel sorry for him, I think he wanted the best for russia and slavic world, a twisted romantic.
Matthew Smith
Yeah, definitely. Ruskie soldiers really behave, I watched cam stream of russian forces coming into ua, they even stopped armored column to let civvie cars pass the road, they let civilians run to tanks and dont just shoot them, there is no massive shelling of cities. Compared to what we are used from burgers in iraq, afganistan or syria this is super tame.
Bentley Rodriguez
Because they want Ukraine to be part of Russia again, not to annihilate them.
Jeremiah Johnson
It was so obvious since day 1 Otherwise they would nuke the shit out of all big cities dont you think?
Luke Lopez
in the world maybe, but you need to understand ukrainians are future citizens of rf or at the very least future citizens of rf vassal state, whether they like it or not
Leo Evans
>would leave russia in chaos. do you think he cares? Only his pride stops him from doing that
Lucas Perry
>At best (and that's probably already true) it's a proxy war with contractors and equipment That's a big fucking deal
Henry Hall
What difference does it make how western media paints russians? Optics is not everything. Principles and morals exist even if nobody is around to see you do something.
Wyatt Baker
SeePutin will always be see/painted by media as a devil It's its citizens and future citizens whose opinion matter The problem is that being too soft handed and drawing out the conflict means also losing support
Hunter Perry
Putin has no hatred for the citizens of Ukraine - they are brothers.
The fake leadership, CIA puppets, USMil, oligarchs and all others involved in corruption that are currently raping Ukraine is another story. They will be removed and things put back to right.
Jaxson Price
>That's a big fucking deal Is it? Probably in almost all proxy wars supported by 2 superpowers both sides ad either officially or not boots on the ground
Oliver Ross
yes they were ordered not to kill civilians and they didn't even destroy Ukrainian military barracks with missile strikes which was fucking stupid.
Aiden Green
That is why I don't like seeing dead Russians. They have probably been sitting ducks in a lot of cases. The whole thing is a stupid kike war killing slavic people.
Brandon Barnes
bump
Austin Cook
He cant. We hate him so much he'll spend 20 years here.
Christian Phillips
Russian army has powerful weapons for winning quick and little own soldier casualties
but Russian army has strategy has been awful
even common people whitout military strategy would know, that you dont send tanks columns to open, that ukrainians could easily destroy them by javelins
where is russias airforce, there have been very little bombing by russian airforce
btw, is this true that Gerasimov is fired?
Russian Chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, reportedly fired today. Gerasimov was very highly regarded, the most important military leader of the past generation, & the architect of today’s Russian Armed Forces. He’s served as the head of the military since 2012.
