I’m just showing these comments I saw earlier, which were interesting. Since it is true, that we’ve been hearing that “Russia is cornered”, since the invasion started. I personally just want this shit to end.

These comments are relating to an article from this week.

I wonder if we will ever know what truly happens on the ground (i.e. when it comes to casualties and many other things)

    I don’t think any of those things will happen. IIRC the consensus from the newsthreads here was that unless the war ends on the ground this year or next then Western support would stop and then Zelenskyy would be forced to make peace.

      Which sucks, because negotiating peace when you have capacity to wage war puts you in a much better position than negotiating peace when you have no other option

      Reminder that Russia made it clear since the beginning that they only wanted three conditions: denazification, Ukraine pledging neutrality by not joining NATO, and recognition of the sovereignty of the Donbass republics.

      The peace talk in April 2022 was sabotaged by Boris Johnson. The Western imperialists wanted this war to keep going. The blood is on their hands.
