Latest in Ukraine

Ukraine is losing battles inside their borders. Zelenskyy could have kept all his soldiers in Ukraine, but he decided to split his army and send troops to invade Kursk oblast in Russia. It has been speculated that he did this to strengthen his position in future peace talks. Putin has sent soldiers from all over Russia to take back Kursk. He is also sending 100 Russian operatives from the “Bear Brigade” from Burkina Faso.

Russia looks set to take Pokrovsk and Chasiv Yar, two cities still partially under Ukrainian control.

Send letters to Biden and Harris.
Demand that they allow Ukraine soldiers entering Russia to use USA supplied weapons.

If the US can supply Netanyahu with weapons, without restrictions, the same should apply to Zelenski.

@JSul3 Israel comes first.

Why do you want troops entering Russia to have more weapons? Aren't they supposed to be defending their country? Ukrainian troops in eastern Ukraine need help, and they need it now. They are losing two important Ukrainian cities.

@emiliya I want the Ukrainian troops fighting inside Russia to have the best weapons available. That means having US made weapons.
Got it?

@JSul3 They do have US made weapons in Kursk.

While their troops are struggling and dying in Donbas, the others are in Russia on a PR exercise or a Zelenskyy suicide mission, not defending their territories in Ukraine.

@emiliya According to what Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin has said in the last few days, he refuses to allow US weapons to be used inside of Russia.

Take that as you so choose. Ukraine has taken approx. 500 sq miles of territory inside Russia.

I sent letters to both Biden and Harris demanding they allow any weapons necessary to defeat Putin....inside Russia.

@JSul3 US says there is a restriction on American supplied long range missiles being used in Russia, but short range missiles and all other weapons provided to Ukraine from US are being used.

Long range missiles are already sent into Russia, but apparently it can only be for “defense” when they are supplied by US and UK.

“Take that as you so choose. Ukraine has taken approx. 500 sq miles of territory inside Russia.”

This is very different to 20% of Ukraine, isn't it?

Nonetheless, do you think they did that without weapons? Where do you think they get most of their weapons from?

“I sent letters to both Biden and Harris demanding they allow any weapons necessary to defeat Putin....inside Russia.”

Do you think escalating this conflict is a good idea?

Why do you conflate Russia with Israel?

"Do you think escalating this conflict is a good idea?"
I stand with the people of Ukraine. Putin invaded Ukraine.
Taking land inside Russia may show the people of Russia what war is like in their backyard now, and force public opinion against Putin's illegal aggression.


"Why do you conflate Russia with Israel?"
Easy.

I hate war criminal Hamas. I hate war criminal Netanyahu.
I stand with the people of Israel. I stand with the people of Gaza.

I hate war criminal Putin.
I stand with the people of Ukraine.
@JSul3
show the people of Russia what war is like in their backyard now,

Maybe you need to educate yourself on WW II.

@JSul3 “Taking land inside Russia may show the people of Russia what war is like in their backyard now, and force public opinion against Putin's illegal aggression.”

You are dreaming.

What you are desiring is vengeance, not justice. Is vengeance what we ought to pursue?

Russians are not going to unite against Putin. Furthermore, if pushed too far, any leader of a nation with nuclear weapons may be compelled to use them.

“I hate war criminal Hamas. I hate war criminal Netanyahu.
I stand with the people of Israel. I stand with the people of Gaza.”

“I hate war criminal Putin.
I stand with the people of Ukraine.”

I can see you spend a lot of time carefully analyzing these issues.

@emiliya If Putin is crazy enough to try using nukes, then that will be the end of civilization.
Do you really believe that Putin does not have any dissidents in Russia?

Vengeance? Putin began this war. If he dares step outside of Russia, I hope he is quickly arrested and charged with war crimes. That would be justice.

"I can see you spend a lot of time carefully analyzing these issues."
I take that as a compliment.
emiliya · 22-25, F
@JSul3 It may not be the end. Civilization could continue in countries not affected by nuclear. It is still a dark thought, and I would prefer westerners to not be so cavalier about it. As a westerner who is neither from Ukraine nor Russia, this war should not be worth the potential of escalation to you. Why are some of you Americans so invested in Ukraine?

“Do you really believe that Putin does not have any dissidents in Russia?”

We don't have enough to fulfill your dream, your fantasy.

“If he dares step outside of Russia, I hope he is quickly arrested and charged with war crimes. That would be justice.”

Putin does step outside of Russia. He is visiting Mongolia this week, and they will not be arresting him.

@JSul3 America are the only country to have ever used nuclear bombs in a war, think about that for a moment, before casting aspersions
