Have you ever tried looking into sources that disagree with your position? That called, you know, learning about stuff.
Boru Didnt fall for this clickbait, but out of sheer curiosity: That guy, Wilkerson showed that it was not Russia who invaded Ukraine, right??????

I watched a couple of minutes of it. This guy is one of the tiny, tiny minority of professional military people who disagrees with the consensus that EVERY metric favours Ukraine (he also doesn't seem to understand the value of defiladed tanks/AFVs).

Russia has lost ‘strategically, operationally and tactically,’ top US general says
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

1. Population size is irrelevant because it doesn't account for how much of the population actually supports their government's vote, especially in authoritarian nations like China. It remains that most nations are against Russia. So nice try Bel
2. Isn't it sad that Russia can't even get some of its closest allies to fully support its invasion? Of course, this shouldn't surprise us as they can't even convince their own allies to recognize the lands they annexed.

So, whats the math there. If half the worlds population abstains from condemning russian aggression for whatever reason, then it's a-ok to kill ukrainians and annex neighboring countries...or?

Good to know that THIS half of the worlds population did NOT support Russias invasion of Ukraine. Otherwise they would have voted in favour of Russia.

At this point I think we might need to bring a doll in to see where ukraine touched Bel, honestly. I don't think that all of the usual internet assholery can really explain such comprehensively filthy takes.

the ISW Wrote:The Kremlin did not comment on the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, likely because Russia has failed to achieve any of its stated objectives and has not made significant territorial gains since July 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin and his administration made no statements relating to the anniversary even though Putin has made numerous public appearances over the past three days.[1] Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev made inflammatory claims that Russia will win the war and reiterated that it is vital for Russia to achieve its goals to "push back the borders that threaten [Russia] as far as possible, even if they are the borders of Poland."[2] ISW has previously assessed that the Kremlin has been using Medvedev to sustain information campaigns targeting Western military support for Ukraine and to deflect attention from Russia's military failures.[3] Medvedev's statements highlight the fact that the Kremlin is continuing to pursue its unrealistic maximalist goals even though it has no meaningful successes to offer the Russian people after a year of costly war in Ukraine.
