How many Russians are Putin willing to sacrifice in Ukraine

@revenant He is just trying to stop the marauding orcs from killing his people, but being a Russian bot, you already know this.

@jimjim1969 I am a russian bot, of course.

@revenant What are you talking about? Russia has lost well over a hundred thousand troops, over 2,000 tanks, and 300 aircraft since they expanded their invasion outside of Crimea & Donbas. They expected to win the war in three days, and it's been well over a year with no end in sight. They're only controlling like 17% of the country. And frankly, it's pretty ridiculous to put the blame for those civilian deaths on the faction that's trying to defend them, rather than the faction that's deliberately killing them.

@BlueVeins well that would depend on sources and I think mine are a lot more reliable. Ukraine lost a long time ago, the fight has been prolonged thanks to US and NATO aids. God knows why Zelinsky carries on and puts his men to the meatgrinder...to save face ? to ask for more money ?

Zelinsky is guilty of the civilians and soldiers deaths.

@revenant My dawg

I've seen military defeat before, and that ain't what it looks like.

The fighting possibly has, though there's no telling how long the 'pacification' phase of the war would last. Much smaller and weaker countries than Ukraine have put up decades-long fights against countries that invaded them. The killing almost certainly hasn't though; if Russia had taken more of Ukraine, they'd be able to rape, torture, and kill more civilians than they're already able to with the comparatively small population they've captured now.

No, you fucking moron, to prevent Ukraine from being destroyed. Ukraine isn't the one choosing the continue this war; the Russians can pack up and go home whenever they want. That's the benefit of being a nuclear state; Ukraine wouldn't be able to invade them in retaliation. If Ukraine surrendered, they'd have to accept Russia becoming the dictator of them, too, and accept Holocaust 2.0 happening on their soil. For god's sakes, you flip shit whenever a brown person crosses our own border, you can't even conceptualize the level of existential risk that our friends across the pond are grappling with.

@revenant 100% of the civilian deaths in this war are Ukrainians. Not a single Russian civilian has died. That should seriously tell you something about who the aggressor is here.

@BlueVeins now calm down but you cannot be reasonable so bye

@revenant It's not civil either to run cover for a murderous invasion of a sovereign state. Of course I'm not going to be "calm" when people who I know are in danger and you're encouraging a course of action that would put them in exponentially more danger.
