Bad time to be a small country that has something a big country wants.

Yep

[LickNeckey]

Sure reads like a guy who wanted the whole of Ukraine.

Smarter people in this blog will note that (for example) the United States was ultimately defeated in places like Vietnam . . . whilst North Vietnam received nothing even resembling the level of firepower that NATO/US bestowed on Ukraine.  Particularly when you start looking at the technological components and spaced based intelligence NATO/US is providing Ukraine. Yet, Ukraine has still lost territory.

The US has also not faced a first world on first world adversary on the field of battle since WWII.

Of course Putin wants Ukraine, has anyone said differently?

some were suggesting it was an attempt at denazification

Yep

Has there ever been a point in history where that wasn’t the case?

It’s probably a spectrum. I think people born after World War I have had the luxury of having an idealized view of things, relative to the rest of human history.

[Pete]

For the last 40 years or so a war of conquest would’ve been unthinkable by most Americans.  For most of human history, it was sort of expected.

We got a lot of our conquering done within 100 years of our inception.

On 1/1/25 Ukraine celebrated their hero Ultra-Nationalist mass murderer

But . . . that was a rapid fire insta tapout from Lick. As usual and as expected.

the reasons incels use to justify russians invasion are so hard to pin down

Napoleon wanted no part of this and 15M was a lot better than getting his ass kicked.

That's one way to look at it, another is he really really really wanted to spend money to get his ass kicked by the Royal Navy but he was at least going to spend the money to try.

Also I would point out our own ass kicking to stalemate by the Brits 9 years later as not really an inevitability on our part.

Also we can't forget our conquering of Hawaii.  Conquered the crap out of them.

"I mean, taiwan is the aggressor, deserves whatever China wants to do."

#slowdug didn’t understand something. Was embarrassed (as usual) and now #blueanongE is rallying hard to lift his spirit

It’s just adorable

Meanwhile #blueanon political leadership is showing up at CCP sponsored reunification parties.

One of course is a New McCarthyite who gets mushed brained #blueanon (millions upon millions) to parrot his idiocy

What do you guys think the appropriate response was?  Keep fighting the war?

Tell Russia to stop blowing up kindergartens, kidnapping Ukrainian kids, bombing hospitals and nuclear waste sites or else "We will retaliate in a ways that are Very Strong and have NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE in History!!! On DAY ONE!!!" We need to keep operating with faith that whatever Trump declares is reality, right?
