Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Serb]

It seems odd that Russia would spend enormous sums building a pipeline to transport gas to Europe and then blows up that pipeline because it might get sued for not delivering gas to Europe does not sound terribly sensible. This is based on conjecture not evidence.

I do not believe the Russians blew up the pipeline.

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Serb, from 2014 to February 2022 some 14,000 people are estimated to have died in the war in the Donbass. What fraction of those people do you think died as a result of genocidal attacks targeting civilians?

Absolute majority.

How is the special operation going to be an effective response to that?

It prevented an Ukranian fullscale invasion of Donbass and complete genocide of Russians there.

What would long term success look like?

Look at modern Grozny 25 years after the war.

What if large numbers of civilians in the conquered territories don't like living under Russian rule?

We never cared if they like us or not, as long they don't sream "knife the Moskals, hang the Moskals" as they did at Maidan in 2014 and still doing.
Some things are simply not acceptable.

I never have understood what you think the special operation is any good for.

See above.

The pipeline is not actually destroyed. So long as the repair costs are less than the liabilities, you have motive.

Is it just Serb, or are Russians just nihilistic in general?

What fraction of those people do you think died as a result of genocidal attacks targeting civilians and what fraction died as a result of combat between the separatist armed forces and Ukrainian armed forces?

Not that your so-called president desides anything!

[Serb]

The modern USA reminds me the late Soviet era - the rule of brainless old farts.

[Serb]

The difficulty is that it was a stupid move no matter who did it.

You have a total age degraded imbecile in charge.

"It is the biggest terrorist state in human history!" - if you care about formal correctness v. casual speech. In the latter case it's okay your way.

How can I properly adress to a state like USA or Russia (it or she?).

In Russian "Russia" and "America" is a "she", what about USA in English?
