The "need to win" rhetoric... its an odd way of looking at it. Ukraine territory is invaded. What do you expect them to do.. just surrender? Of course they need to win. It's their home, their land, there is no reason whatsoever why it should become Russian territory.
- twelve40 4y agono, i don't expect them to surrender or any of what you mentioned. The US is continuously escalating by now supplying Patriot missiles - just the most recent in a sequence of more and more destructive weapons - and drumming up the "need to win" rhetoric. So, back to the point, it might not just be a "long-simmering", this one.
- sofixa 4y ago> The US is continuously escalating by now supplying Patriot missiles - just the most recent in a sequence of more and more destructive weapons An anti-air system is not really a destructive weapon, it's for self-defence. And saying the US is escalating is really weird considering Russia is the one invading and escalating with brutal attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
- londons_explore 4y agoThe whole US war machine is called the "Department of Defence". And they have defended halfway around the world in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. But obviously that isn't destruction, it's just defence. /s
- sofixa 4y agoAre you claiming that Ukraine aren't defending themselves? Or that an anti-air system, one that shoots down planes or missiles around a limited range (over your own territory), isn't defensive?
