to those who started it victory was never the goal. they have 2 goals:

1. force russia to overspend on a war that gains them very little

2. sell a lot of weapons, both to ukraine and the american tax payer

2008 or 2024. doesnt change either of those.


Lies lol

This was (and is) the goal

We get it, your pissed.

Ukraine is not about to surrender.

I merely pointed out that those vehicles should be in Crimea right now.

Seems like I hit a nerve

Russian morale seems to be at an all-time high these days.

The way started weary with protests against the war, but I think displays like this can turn public opinion around. Especially places like there that feel they have been victims of empires like the US and EU.

Between that and the slipping Ukranian morale, its hard to see this turning around at all.


May 9th is their victory day and they’ve been having these types of armed parades and displays every year for decades now. It’s a good way to align the public with the highly militarized state. I mean it’s low hanging fruit propaganda. Parading German and American hardware for the plebs to see and rally against the external enemy but why not? Nothing to lose.

the fact that you think those are exclusive means you're not thinking clearly.

NATO membership was and is the goal the rest is massive cope.

If Russia manages to take Eastern Ukraine (the annexed oblasts) and get Ukraine to sign a peace treaty where Ukraine must remain neutral then it's a massive win for Russia and a complete loss for the West simple as that.

Saying oh well we lost but we really wanted to wear down Russia is just massive cope.

what does ukraine bring to NATO? is it a contributor, or a drain on the collective?

A complete drain it's a corrupt shit hole stuck in the 90s with old Soviet infrastructure and terrible demographics which I've pointed out many times.

The only thing it has to offer is it's geographical location, Black Sea ports and Crimea / Sevastopol which is of course very important to the Russians too.

This is a geopolitical chess game and the Ukrainians are the pawns sacrificed by the West

after reading this post im still confused how you think this is different than the goals i already posted.

you're just so used to posting "cope" in this thread you're not thinking clearly.

the USA needs black sea ports? lol. russia needs them.

we want a massive drain on NATO? no, they want to sell weapons to the tax payer and they think a drain is worth it as an antirussia measure if they did join.

the 2 overarching goals are still the same as what i posted.

@bold exactly what I just said, they're important to Russia (strategically important) what would be better than having NATO ships in Sevastopol. Weird that you fail to understand this SMH

so your position is literally "its only about nato membership and nothing else"?

yet you admit ukraine is a leech member, and they really only have ports to offer that NATO doesnt really need because based on that map they already have most of the black sea and Mediterranean?

I posted the facts.

NATO welcomed Ukraine's future membership back in 2008 and NATO has been on a roll absorbing a whole bunch of countries that were all similar poverty stricken corrupt shit holes before they were absorbed into NATO and the EU

Some users here still accuse Hungary of those things just because they don't like Victor Orban FFS

You cannot possibly refute these facts you're wasting your time
