Not non-partisan obviously but @Flash12 mentioned something Dostoyevsky also said about their Eastern European neighbors over a century ago to a similar effect. @asaffronladoftherisingsunThe objective is not to save Ukraine or defeat Russia. The objective is perpetual war, while rampig up their indegenous production to sell. Think of it like gulf war-1 syndrome: the objective of this war is to showcase western weapons to snap up offers from would-be customers. This is why horrific Ukrainian losses are censored, this is why all the western nations are going'we must give Ukraine tanks,but you first'- because the ones that go first, will get absolutely wrecked and will impact their future sale potential.
This war is about $$ to the western military industrial complex.
Nothing more.
Mobilization may not be an issue, but logistics definitely areRussia has still got a lot of Ukranian men to kill before an attack on NATO. In a NATO - Russia war, you don't want Mobilized Ukranians fighting on the side of NATO.. Russia would want to kill NATO soldiers to extract a direct cost from NATO, and not kill proxies like Ukranians.
Also, Russia would need to mobilize millions before attacking NATO..
That's the post I was looking, since Feb 22 we have been fed with steady diet of superior west weapons. Turns out most of them are overpriced dud. Luckily we stayed with the Russia (no chills no thrills).
That´s not a manipulation, but a pure fact, though I understand why Russians find it inconvenient - some still believe that they are "liberating" someone at Donbas, while they are just razing Donbas cities to the ground, poisoning the soil and turning their people into refugees. Mariupol, Popasna, Rubizhnoe, Severodonetsk - Russians brought nothing but a death and destruction there, particularly to people who they claim are "their own"Well done, and you are a master of manipulation.
Look at the rebuilding projects going on in Mariupol. It is practically a new city there.That´s not a manipulation, but a pure fact, though I understand why Russians find it inconvenient - some still believe that they are "liberating" someone at Donbas, while they are just razing Donbas cities to the ground, poisoning the soil and turning their people into refugees.

In comparison, I had a friend, good in nature, but loved to show-off and kinda naive, who went to fight for "opoltschenie" in 2014. Ended in the DNR International brigade ("Pyatnaschka"), fought for a while, got wounded under Debaltseve, demobilized, found wife, made kids, started a business in Donetsk. Finally, in 2019, he decided to move to Russia. What do you think the reason was? Constant Ukrainian shelling, fear for kid's lives? Not at all, shelling was not an issue. Problem was the way DPR was run, it was a mafia state with overwhelming corruption, which was hard to overcome even with contacts from military.
I don't think it is, she's way too pretty.OMG @Akim is that you nibba?
Is it? Is it a practically new city? Or just your wishful thinking? Have you been there, or just making your opinion based on two apartment blocks, shown repeatedly from different angles? What do you think, what percentage of an almost half a million city was rebuilt? 2%? 5%? A couple of Russian travel bloggers recently visited, shot a video and were shocked, described it as Stalingrad.Look at the rebuilding projects going on in Mariupol.

I didn't write anything like thatWell done well done. So Soviet attack on Polish army was bad bad bad and the start of war of Russia against pro-Poland region. And Ukrainian attack on Donetsk and Lugansk is good good and legitimate and not the start of war of Ukraine against pro-Russian region, right?
This testifies to Hitler's sympathy for PiłsudskiOnce again. Pilsudski's ritual funeral in Berlin arranged by Hitler really doesn't say anything? About any close relationship between these two people?
And the fact that no documents, videos, tweets, blogs have been published - does it mean that there were no close relationships and cooperation?

That is standard fare for liberation and exporting democracy in Iraq & Afghanistan, NATO style. Whats good for the brown people, is also good for the useless Europeans. And if it gets some nazis killed in the process, all the better.That´s not a manipulation, but a pure fact, though I understand why Russians find it inconvenient - some still believe that they are "liberating" someone at Donbas, while they are just razing Donbas cities to the ground, poisoning the soil and turning their people into refugees.

those other cities will be rebuilt once peace is secured ie no ukrops or stupid polish wannabes running around and popping off shells that invariably kills innocent civilians. Mariupol is not yet done rebuilding. It’s projected to take in three phases all the way to 2040. By then it will be a gleaming metropolis for the new Novarussiya.Is it? Is it a practically new city?

And Mariupol is a "flagship city", meant to showcase reconstruction efforts. What about other cities such as Popasna, Severodonetsk, Rubizhnoe, Volnovakha, countless smaller villaged razed to the ground? Mostly empty, desperate and left for decay. Rosskij mir.
