Well, Russia begging North Korea for meat to push into its meatgrinder tells me a thing or two about the situation, however dire. Remember: Ukraine is fighting for nothing less than survival. Sun Tzu said to not put your enemy on death ground, but it takes a measure of sanity to follow such sound advice. And sanity is not a part of Putin's modus operandi, in case you haven't noticed. And being German, you are no doubt familiar with letting other people die so long as it's not your people, right? Or are you Jewish, per chance? Have you forgotten how important it is for others to rally for the defence of the innocent, or do you just not care? Who needs a miracle when there are compassionate, selfless human beings who have a heart that cares? Is there even a word in German for that concept?

I‘m Soviet German per chance, so you played the wrong card.

  No, I just unwittingly played the correct one. Who should stop some soldiers from having a little fun, eh? Oh well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The soul that forgoes compassion has sown a bitter seed, my friend, whose reaping is just a matter of time. Putin, like Stalin, had all the wealth he could want, but never had a shred of happiness. You shouldn't mistake worldly success for happiness. Slava ukrainii.

There were a LOT of red lines crossed by NATO from the moment that Ukraine voted for its independence from Soviet Union in 1992. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/28/nato-expansion-war-russia-ukraine https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/28/nato-e...

  Nothing NATO has ever done has jeopardized anything for Russia. Russia did their evil sh_t because they're evil. Sending a couple of guys to poison an ex-KGB guy and his daughter in Britain is just one example. That article said Russia wanted "security concessions". In the words of Benoit Blanc, "That's a bunch of hooey!" Russia's crippled Soviet fail-state is just a butt-hurt former dictatorial regime that lost their ability to strong-arm a huge chunk of the world with their sh_tty domestic policies. Look, people can concoct any sort of batsh_t crazy reasons to do anything, especially if they have no empathy or compassion in their heart.
