Putin's stated goal is total destruction of Ukraine, including the people and the culture. His Soviet predecessors have a few genocides in their name. Imagine yourself saying the same thing to Jews and WW2.

"Not cornering Putin" just means giving him what he wants. It is the opposite of what we need to do - show how weak he is and let his own people give him Gaddafi ending.

In War NATO makes sense as command structure. But I can imagine "EU Army" structure for things like equipment procurement, trainings and so on for the economies of scale and better alignment. It makes little sense for small EU cou

Russian ruling class is very oldschool and only considers USA equal enemy (though their performance in Ukraine shows any larger NATO army would destroy them alone). So the deterrence is probably better with specifically US troops.

That is why NATO has doctrine of "launch everything we have once we see a first nuke fly" and why it is very public about it.

Whether fake or not, it is definitely adding some perspectives I didn't see up until now. For example, I have not considered the possibility of Kadyrov position not being very stable if he loses (or already lost) his soldiers in someth

Is Putin a crook or a run-of-the-mill Russian leader? Most of leaders in Russia are like this. Navalny, for example, is ultranationalist who said Crimea and Donbas are 100 % Russian and "should be kept".

The full text is even better. Talks about "solving the Ukrainian question" which sounds like a direct reference to Hitler's "Final Solution to Jew Question" or whatever that was called.

Reading his speech, both the one before the invasion and the leaked one that was supposed to go up after victory confirms this. Putins objective is genocide.

Yes, after Grozny and Aleppo, anyone saying Russians are trying to limit destruction is deluded or a shill. Russian military strategy has been to force surrender through causing as much civilian death as possible for a while now. Based on h

If SWIFT "is not neutral", sanctions are applied and work once, the sanctions work once. If SWIFT "is neutral" and sanction aren't applied, the sanctions are applied zero times. Once is better than zero.

The Russians are keeping Putin in power. If sanctions motivate them to do something about him, good. If they just serve as punishment for supporting that monster, good enough.

This is incredibly baffling. How can a tank "get lost and run out of fuel"? The tanks don't have GPS or even a map? They don't have radio connection to some kind of command that know where its tanks are? Like ... how? I
