Forgot to mention besides occupying a city, but you have to leave a large force behind to keep it while moving on.
They do not want to annex Kiev and administer it. They want to force Ukraine to accept neutrality and guarantee that it will never join NATO and they probably want to install a pro-Russian government as well. Russia does not need to invade Ukraine as there are many Russian people living in Ukraine that can achieve their goals for them, including Ukrainian politicians of Russian origin.

This is disingenuous.

1. Iraq invaded and annexed Kuwait in 1990. US-led forces protected KSA and liberated Kuwait in 1991 with UN mandate.

2. Yugoslavian Civil War and its implications.

3. Yugoslavian Civil War and its implications.

4. Home to Al-Qaeda Network which was responsible for numerous terrorists attacks around the world including 9/11. US-led forces dismantled Al-Qaeda Network in the region with UN mandate.

5. Controversial development but the oppressive Saddam regime is gone for good?

6. Qaddafi regime was about to commit genocide in politically rebellious Benghazi.

7. Assad regime is responsible for destruction of Syria.

Can WE stop making excuses for oppressive dictators?

I have marked that post as trolling and removed it. Let this be a reminder that sheer amount of likes on a post won't make it exempt to judgement.
The question is:

Is NATO the policeman of the world?

Yes I know,it's all about power and interests. But I can't listen to hypocritical statements from NATO leaders when they've gone on a tour bombing the world and meddling in other people's affairs.

And if Americans decide that Kosovo deserves independence,they can't say Crimea or Donbass can't be independent.

You know what I mean. Yes Saddam had to be stopped the first time. But all the countries who have meddled in the affairs of so many countries and literally changed them,can't complain about Putin and Russia.

I agree, with the west resupply of weapons it will become difficult for Russia. Russian separatists are the key, if they are in hundred of thousands and can hold the cities and defend then Russia can use them as a buffer zone and create a separatists state.

Meanwhile Russia main allies China, Iran, India, Syria are quiet 😕

Russian promised to not violate Ukraine sovereignty if Ukraine promised it wouldn't try to join NATO as part of the Minsk agreement. Ukraine reneged.
Well that idiot zelensky he wanted to join nato and eu and he fuked his country even Russia warned him not to do it still he inclined towards the nato and eu why?
However I do condemn putin to attack Russia instead he should started placing nukes on Venezuela, Mexico, Argentina and Cuba 😏

They want all of Ukraine, but in the reality as you have seen, you can't so what do you try to do? Hit the capital and hope Kiev surrenders. Got yourself a large country added without much cost. Why the hell would you believe they won't annex after just recognizing Luhansk and Donbass which will join Russia later because they don't want to look like invaders and take em by force but make it look like the locals got independence and will ask to join Russia afterwards, not to mention freakining invading Ukraine immediately after recognizing independence for those two regions now prior to preparing invasion force the last few months. And let's not get started with Green men invading Crimea and annexing that as well couple of years ago.

I wouldve guessed that the russians would have a very high civllian cassulty rate but i was suprised that they actually care tgey took the power station of kiev yet they didnt cut the power and have taken measure to limit cassulties on civillians while some "neo-nazis" as they call them just outright abolish this term with other natiolist and mistake civillian cars for russian spies by weapons given to them by the goverment, some ukranians who surrendred were treated greatly and one reasoned their surrendering with "Its better to have peace with our brethern than to fight them for an enemy who only made excuses"

Many here will never admit it, but the US force of Desert Storm would roll todays Russian military.

Brutal honesty

Then why the US is not doing it? If it is so easy as you said, the US would have done it already.

That's your claim, not what Russian authorities have claimed, but even if so and even if we assume you're right, full invasion of Ukraine and wiping it off the map is not on the agenda for this war. It may be in future, but right now Russia is focusing on a national security matter rather than just expansionist ambitions. Russia doesn't want NATO right there at her border. It's just simple as that. They may annex some parts of Eastern Ukraine where Ukrainians of Russian origin are the majority, but they wouldn't go as far as invading all of Ukraine or take cities like Lviv, for example.
