Actually it’s fairly easy, they can conduct Balkanization[0] They will find appropriate politicians or in some cases warlords for each region, in most cases they will fight among each other to gain power. This is not WW2 where you need a so

One might say the same for Ukraine. Nazi Azov Battalion was the main attacker of Donbas, Nazi structures are definitely embedded into Ukrainian state. It’s just a prism you look through. Was Pinochet a good guy? Was attack on Cuba justified

Exactly, how many cities have to be destroyed before they sign? And they will be destroyed if they don’t fold. There is exactly one way of ending this, only difference is how much Ukraine is willing to pay in blood and resources before they

So in other words, you’re prepared to fight to the last Ukrainian, as long as it hurts Russia?

Exactly, on /r/europe I suggested exactly this would happen and how Ukrainian government should sign the deal while they still have some leverage left. I got banned from it for life because of it.

I don’t think so, Ukraine is key strategic point for Russia. It’s provides access to only warm water port Russia has and it’s very close to Moscow. Ukraine was getting armed to the teeth, and with good stuff from the West. Russia had to rea

My country lost 60% of male population in WW1, and around 18% of total population in WW2. It crippled us forever. I think it's better to not rush into things.

Mobilizing should’ve been finished weeks ago. I hope your family stays safe, though I don’t think it’s a good idea for 15 year old to do that. It’s not up to civilians to defend.

by MrRiddle 5y ago
That is not mobilization. Mobilization is giving them proper military equipment, in the very least they give them uniforms and weapons. They're effectively camouflaging soldiers as civilians, don't you see a problem with that? How

> Their soldiers in Ukraine have resorted to dressing as civilians to scrounge up food and trying to steal fuel for their tank from Ukrainian gas stations. Hahaha this is the most out of touch thing I read since the start of the war. You

And guess what one of China's main focuses was? To take it back. Now that is theirs, do you think they would allow someone to take it? Do you think China would allow Taiwan to work against their interests? You realize that US was incre

Russia cannot accept Ukraine to be in NATO hands. Just like US wasn’t able to allow Cuba to be in Soviet hands or how China would go to war if Hong Kong decided to want independence. It’s maths really, Putin or not it would be the same.

It's sad people don't realize how careful with civilian casualties Russia is, and how in contrast US was brutal in Iraq war. As you mentioned, civil services are all operational, there are no drone strikes based on questionable in

Putin is crazy = I’m ignorant. Every country in Russia’s position would do the same, or have already. You already mentioned Cuba, for China it would be Hong Kong. In case of US, it would be a too long list of attacks of sovereignty whether

I think the author is mostly correct, however has one big blind spot. US policy towards Ukraine is not incorrect, it’s working as designed from the start. They knew how Russia would react, they were just willing to throw them under the bus

iPhone 11 is 500-550 which is kind of mid range and still is a great phone (They're still selling new ones). I have iPhone Xs and don't plan on upgrading soon.

People are betting US companies will outperform rest of the world by a huge margin, over the years US companies rely on huge influx of cheap money to sustain their growth. US stock market is propped up by a dozen of huge companies. About 75
