Warfare Russia/Ukraine War

[Jake84]

Soviets abused "untrustworthy" minorities before, during and after the war.

One reason why they were so quiet in the west was, that large chunk of the media were left leaning and simply supported the Soviet project and it's ideals.

For example in post war Finland, nato snd the west was imperialistic, while soviet missiles were for peace. It went as far as one school teaching kids with "soviet curriculum", until they were caught.

“Eurasia” from Stalin, Mao Ze tong to the Khmer Rouge have a decent enough record at exterminating people, usually their own.

Hard to come by numbers, death toll and figures but the 100M people liquidated by those kind even if exaggerated doesn’t seem too far off. Through famine, AK47…

As far as Nazism goes, their ideology is murderous by design. Stop. I won’t rewrite the whole Second World War saga. It was a shitshow that America/allies tried its best to settle and the rest is history.

And racist. But practically everyone knows this.

But if you talk with Russians or far left, or just random person on the streets, they will often claim that soviets were tolerant of all people and were only horrible toward "class enemies" (person owning more than one cow / educated/ shop owner...)

The video shows a Russian FPV drone striking a Ukrainian M109 self-propelled gun near the village of Sergeyevka, west of Pokrovsk. Drone footage of a burning Ukrainian M109 self-propelled gun near the village of Liptsy, in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine.

I don't think Biden's strategy of dripping in supplies was intentional. Not sure there was a strategy as such. Also dripping in supplies by weapon class rather than grouping supplies to enable an entire formation was a mistake. Again, I don't think intentional.

But at this point the only one who doesn't want peace is Putin. There is a deal to be had where he gets more than he deserves. But he doesn't want it.

Nope. In addition to the intentional drip of weapons to Ukraine, Biden put restrictions on how these weapons could be used. Remember last year when Biden finally lifted restrictions that allowed Ukraine to strike deeper into Russia? You think the timing was just a coincidence?

The notion that the entire West wants peace is a pro-Ukraine talking point. Under the Democrats/NeoCons, we used Ukraine as a delicious tool to economically and militarily bleed Russia over time. The war prohibits Russia from starting wars elsewhere and also serves as a future deterrent.

And lets not forget the military industrial complex, Ukraine is fantastic opportunity for us to test weaponry. Perpetual war = Profit! .

Yes it sucks for Ukraine; they're getting slaughtered left and right. But it’s an effective way to neutralize Putin.

I don't think Biden, (himself) even knew what was happening, let alone plot a strategy, intentional or not. And the people around him were pretty incompetent to be honest.
