Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military operation” into Russian life, that will be a long time.

      Are your neighbours putting a nuclear missile in their yard and pointing it at your house, and you’re doing nothing?

        Russia does basically this to the U.S. with its subs and it’s a reality Americans are forced to deal with every day, so yes, Russia is the clear aggressor here.

              Typical American Exceptionalist, assumes that this forum only has Americans on it. Your chauvinism is blatant.
