    Russian propaganda. Russia also only has human soldiers so this argument is bs. Just like the alternative to war: “Negotiations”. Russia has shown and stated that they are not interested in peace or a part of ukraine. They want it all and negotiations are only an oppertunity to recover and reorganize their forces. At the current state there is no reason to expect anything more from negotiation with russia than them gaining time. Also watch this guys article history. He isn’t a journalist but some propaganda troll who wants to see ukraine to be gone.

    It seems kind of strange to say this when Ukraine is the side currently on the offensive and the Russian government has already faced one challenge since the war began that made Putin look pretty weak.

    Also, it’s hard to negotiate when you don’t trust the other side to keep their word.

      Two challenges: The Goblin marching his private army into Russia and the Free Russia forces also marching in and holding a press conference. Plus the bridge attacks, plus the drone attacks in Moscow, plus saboteur attacks, plus his potential arrest if he leaves Russia. Plus losing navy ships, plus pulling the Armata back. Plus backing down when NATO ships haul Ukranian grain.

    IMO Ukraine will never do this because it would end the war now, but Russia would seek to rebuild and invade the rest of the country. It wasn’t that long ago Russia said, trust us, we won’t invade…

      “Russia never invaded. This is a special military exercise to, uh, help Ukraine rid itself of Nazis and then as thanks they can rejoin greater Russia rather than being a puppet of Western propaganda and colonialism.”

      “The only propaganda and colonialism should be Russian. It never did Belarus any harm.”

      “Yet.”

    Russia still hasn’t even gotten to the hard part, which is fighting an insurgency, and yet they’re running out of everything needed to win the easy part.
