The way you can tell MOBIUS really cares about the poor Ukrainians and their poor country being ruined by US imperialism/a desire not to be conquered is the utter glee with which he reports the failure of their attempts to repel an invasion by a power mad dictator/guy who has no other choice, really, when you think about it.

I'm on the side of my Ukrainian colleague, who tells us stories of what it was like to live under Soviet oppression, whose niece had to flee Ukraine at the outset of the war, who loves her country and wants it free and independent. Which Ukrainians are you on the side of?Originally posted by MOBIUS

Like those silly poles trying to resist Hitler's army in 1939, they should have just surrendered and they would have suffered much less.Originally posted by MOBIUSIndifference is BlissComment

It would appear that Putin is trying to in effect expand his army by using conscripts to fight in Kursk. Relatives of the conscripts are starting to complain, but it remains to be seen how effective these complaints will be.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

On the one-hand this will increase the military manpower that Putin can use against Ukraine by providing an area where we can use Russia's conscripts against Ukraine so this will be bad for Ukraine. On the other hand Ukraine had basically zero leverage vs Russia in any future negotiations and occupying some Russian territory may provide for that to occur. To really evaluate the decision to invade Russia we would need to know how things would've played out had Ukraine not done so for comparison and obviously no amount of elapsed time is going to reveal that. I'm sure every arm chair general will be claiming that however it plays validates what they have been predicting and recommending all along.Originally posted by BeBMan View PostComment

Syrski has been smartly using geography to Ukraine's advantage by keeping large rivers on each flank this preventing Russia from attacking the flanks. Also, there has been no large organized counter attack by Russia just a bunch of disorganized and fragmented local actions by poorly equipped and poorly trained conscripts. The best Russia has managed so far was a lot of air strikes though Ukraine has put some pretty good air defenses in place which has help.Originally posted by BeBMan View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Search for BelgorOd hereWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
