It is fool hardy to believe that the Russian forces are "not militarily capable" of doing to Ukraine what the US did in Iraq. Reduce cities to rubble, given the logistical advantage compared to what the US did in Iraq.
I guess their objectives are pretty straight forward and since they are ethnically same as the Ukrainians do not target civilians.
What worries me is the use of civilians as human shields, even reports of Indian students being locked up by the Ukrainian forces to be used as human shields.
Let us remember that the US was ' ' close to carpet bombing Cuba during the cuban missile crisis. If you share borders with a regional superpower, stop dreaming about getting in bed with their enemies, let alone military ties.
- blunte 5y agoYou should investigate bold claims like the human shield one. Not only does it sound like Russian propaganda, multiple major news sites state that there is no evidence that this is true.

It is not like the Russians have a logistics disadvantage, they are literally surrounding Ukraine. As much as I might be disillusioned, the very fact of pressing citizens to carry rifle, and making them believe they are "winning" is my definition of human shield.
- artem247 5y agoYou have no clue what is happening on the ground. Nobody is pressing citizens to join territorial defense, they do auxiliary duties, they are not surrogate for proper army. Ukrainian army uses artillery, attack drones extensively, so your point of people with rifles has no value. Whatever, you don’t get what is happening in Ukraine.
