    A horrifying waste of lives. Fuck the entire West for encouraging this slaughter.

    With that said, I have a hard time believing that Russia will really ‘win’ this war. Even if they take the lands they are liberating, Ukraine promises to be a failed rump state, a playground for CIA and other western terrorists, Nazi’s with nothing to lose. I can easily imagine the terrorism that will take place ‘post-war’, with lots of bombings and massacres all over the world. Ukraine is the next Afghanistan, and the whole world will cry out in pain as the Banderites unleash their bloody dreams.

    I’m not usually a doomer, but the simple facts I see point me toward a never-ending insurgency, with endless Western backing. And of course, the blow back that comes as well…

      I think it was established pretty early on that Ukraine being a failed state is, for all intents and purposes, a win for Russia. It’s preferable to them being a NATO member at least.

        I guess my point is that I fail to see to much of a difference. A failed state can still be a NATO springboard (see: Libya). Even if this ends in some kind of treaty, how long until Moscow is back in the same spot again?

      Which I suspect was the plan all along
