What really bothered Putin was those stern condemnation speeches.

They could boost Ukranian morale, but there's only so much you could use morale for.

You can use it to prolong the war and ensure more Ukrainians get slaughtered which is what the regime wants.

Which regime, the Ukranian one?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

clearly, and all the western regimes want the same thing as well

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why do you think the Ukrainian regime wants more Ukrainians to die? I understand the American and European MIC's incentive, but not the Ukranian regime's.

It's pretty clear that they do given that they refuse negotiations and literally gang press people from the street to fight.

guy's just finding out he's been used by the west, hopefully he'll get the idea in the next 3 years.

He’s an actor who was hired to play a role by a European oligarch. The whole financial scheme was revealed in the Pandora Papers. This is just part of the act.

And here I thought the military and strategic victories were encouraging him.

Extremely weird story to get pushed out everywhere. Attacks on kyiv were retaliation for Ukrainian attempted drone terrorism on Moscow the day before.

Zelensky should be the one admonished for escalating stupidly, and usa silence encourages zelensky destruction of Ukraine.

He's trying to keep the money and weapons flowing in. He’s also used the ongoing proxy war to justify not holding elections, and people remain pissed at him for pretending to be a peace candidate to get elected. Just like Netanyahu, he knows ongoing conflict is his best hope to hold onto his position.

According to plan

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Would Zelensky rather the US bloviate while Russia continues to roll the UA? US silence does nothing to the military situation.

TRUMP SHOULD BE ARRESTED!!!!
