    I hope Russia will leave like in Afghanistan, finally ending the war.

      How will that happen and how will that end the war? Ukraine wants Crimea which is 100% Russian.

        100% by what metric? Unironically curious, lol

            Yeah, exactly. Those who didn’t consider themselves Russians have been purged long ago, forcibly deported and driven out from their lands since the early Soviet times.

            Tatars and Ukrainians have been targets of ethnic cleansing since a long time in Crimea, and therefore Russia should be granted the land as a prize. Just like with Koenigsberg Kaliningrad, it’s very easy, if you kill and deport everyone in an area, then that area is yours.

            Whether they consider themselves Russian is a slippery slope of an argument --and not only because I doubt you have trustworthy sources to back this claim. There are many regions in the world where minorities or even significant local majorities consider themselves separate nations.

            If your argument that political power grows from the barrel of the gun is to be followed, then there’s no problem with Ukraine using said power to take over Crimea, should they have that capability. That kind of follows from your own logic.

    Well a good offense is a good defense. I’m not surprised that this is happening at all and I don’t think anyone should be.

    Had there been a time in history where the world sided with aggressor?

      the whole world from Arabia to India to China stands with Russia. Z.

      Basic maths to find out that Pro-Russia is more widely held take than Pro-Ukraine.

      Because the west invades countries first, Russia doesn’t. Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and Ukraine invaded Donbass.

        You should get a refund from wherever you took basic maths.

        I stand corrected.

    It began many days ago but he doesn’t want to admit because they were losing so far.

    He only admitted it now because they started winning.
