Will somebody explain the end game?

So Russia will be running a country of 50 million Ukrainians who hate them with years of counter insurgency?

Some one tell me because I don't understand.

Have you found that now-Chechens are the most loyal and powerful army in the Russian army?
Did you find that the Vietnamese in the south are more proud of the victory of the Vietnam War?

I've seen Russians that look Asian........

Russians are Asian. Just as some of them are European.

Yeah, more reasons for Putum to launch air raids on urban areas. Ukraine has gone full retard.

That just only make the Ukrainians fight harder.

It is not even 24 hours yet entire Ukraine is in panic and on the verge of defeat.
The US with the support of the entire world took 3 weeks to defeat a surrendered and impoverished Iraq.

As some posters mentioned, its past 24 hours and Ukraine still fighting. What happened to collapsing within 24 hours some claimed?

War as good as over. Boris Johnson exalting "Government in Exile" for Zelensky.

I do not even think the Ukies will fight post-bellum. The Ukraine pro US status quo too corrupt. No will is willing to lay down their life.

Boris Johnson says UK will support Ukrainian government ‘in exile’

Britain has always supported ‘governments in exile’, says PM

Wow, that is amazing that for 8 years since Crimea they haven't invested in missiles. Sad.


The logic is, if he expands westwards he encounters more NATO nations. So his excuse for invasion is bogus. Ukraine isn't in NATO and discussions on this had basically ended.
So Russia takes Ukraine and all of a sudden, it has NATO members on its borders. Guess what Russia needs to do then for 'security'....take out Poland etc.

And just a few hours ago, the Ukrainian President finally called for mass mobilization, long after the invasion started...So you can see why they didn't take the threat seriously besides saying Russia won't invade even though the U.S. says they will...

Very doubtful.
All Russian & Pro-Russian Separatist mark Z insignia in their vehicle to prevent friendly fire.

There is NO Z insignia in that vehicles, so its probably from ukraine side

Iraqis would and did die for their country in large numbers. I had seen an account of American forces that hopeless Iraqi soldiers charged with very light weapons against American troops and were slaughtered; the Americans were sad to have killed them but also admired their foolhardy courage. In the end the Elite forces of Saddam abandoned him--or bought off--when Baghdad was about to fall. But later Iraqis launched a guerilla war despite no or very little foreign help. Compare them with the pink-a$$ed Ukrainians??'

If the statement coming out of Zelenskly's mouth that Ukraine has been 'left alone' is true then shame on him for leading his country to ruin when he must have known about the lack of real foreign support! All that MOFO had to do was to sign a written agreement to not enter NATO or any alliance for/against anyone. Even Ashraf Ghani looks better than the Ukrainian leader now; at least Ghani saw the futility of resistance and bowed out, leading to one of the most peaceful takeover of a very large capital city in history.

No, not all of their vehicles were marked with 'Z'.

Weren't Ukrainian Su-27s all destroyed at this point? A lot of conflicting info about this

They still have plenty Su-27 and bunch of MIG-29.
Some of their Su-27 even run away to Romania yesterday
