Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

Well, at least he'd die for a cause he believes in

[The Mad Monk]

Nobody deserves that.

[The Mad Monk]

That has crossed my mind.

We are getting off track here.

Ukraine is clearly doing well because Serb hasn't posted recently.

Maybe he got 'volunteered':

The Russian military appears to be increasingly recruiting older Russian volunteers in order to sustain ongoing crypto-mobilization efforts. Russian opposition outlet Verstka reported on October 9 that a source in an unspecified Russian Airborne (VDV) unit operating in the Kherson direction stated that 40 percent of the unit's contract recruits and mobilized personnel are over 50 years old and that over 75 percent of new personnel are over 50 years old.

The fact that it's easy does not make it OK to murder citizens.

The Serb Index is currently at 2.1

I call this, "The Serb Index".

No, but they ARE hiding behind them. The Ukrainian government evacuates its civilians from those areas that see the heaviest fighting. That is the difference between governments and terrorists.

To be fair, it's Gaza. Where, exactly, are they going to evacuate them?

Is guerilla warfare inherently immoral?

Inherently, no, but it is extremely difficult to follow the Geneva and Hague Conventions and do it.

Russian military bloggers are frothing that the Russian government blocked Discord, since it's part of the Russian armed forces battlefield command and control loop:

Second best army in Ukraine.

Show me where I said that. I made a comment on one of the main reasons why more civilian casualties occur in Gaza than in Ukraine.

Yes, they're actively trying to kill civilians, but simply don't have the decades of practice the Israelis do

Yes, they do. Russia's have always fought this way because they are unable to fight any other way. See Ukraine, Syria, Georgia, and Chechnya (twice). Israel actually takes great efforts not to harm civilians, some people are dumb enough to believe Islamist lies though, and the fact that Muslims actively try to use civilians as human shields. I guess you just aren't smart enough to know about reality though.

[dannubis]

Yes Hamas and Hezbollah are literally making the Israelis deliberately target civilians 👍
