Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[rare]

The Russians have truly lost their minds.

Christ you're like Gollum with your tricksy semantics

What you call semantics, I call reading comprehension

Ukraine should have just agreed to not join Nato at any point in the future. This military operation could have been avoided and the training exercise would have remained just that.

You don't know that.

If the US had that much of a heads up I'm guessing those bases were mostly emptied out long ago - hence why the one at Kharkiv didn't go up like an ammo dump usually would.

Anyone can link putin actually speaking the lastest news, i cannot find anything except quotes

Sounds like the target at Kiev is the airport, maybe trying to create some degree of isolation

Only if you take things what people say literally and not what they imply

I honestly hope Russia intel has been weak, the Twitter & TikTok's for UA forces have been very nonexistant and I hope UA forces are able to mount a counter offensive because from reports this is pretty much a blitzkrieg on Ukraine and they seem ill prepared

You don't know that.

Well he was requesting better assurances that Ukraine would not join nato and that there be less build up of nato forces near Russians borders but he was ignored repeatedly. Russia clearly felt threatened and now it has led to this.

Quite true and to be fair thats what I do. Implication can be so subjective and lead to assumptions and we all know about the saying about assuming. So I do take things literally, imo if everyone said what they meant (in both spoken and literal forms) there would be a lot less misunderstandings in life.

Defensive targets are easiest to hit because they are generally static.

What do the ukrainian army have to aim at?

Launch sites 200 miles away in Russia?

A moving front line in the dark? Impossible.

The main international one, at least thats where the various news channels are saying where the sounds are coming from, not sure which of the two is considered the "main" international one is

No assurance would ever placate him and it would only serve as confirmation of weakness to bow down to such obviously false pretences of peace.

He requested many things that may have started but did not end with ukraine.

It is clear that this decision was not taken overnight.

Had ukraine rescinded their choice to join nato it would make them an easier target now or in the future too.

If you saw putins speach it was clear he considers ukraine his. And the only reason it isn't his is due to mistakes of his predesessors.

They are both large international airports.

I like your honesty at least

Don't they have their own ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, they know where there's massive lines of Russian armour & infantry rolling in, bomb the *******
