    With Ukraine making concessions? Basically bowing to Russia' demands? Is this video even true?

    So Russia won?? This is setting very dangerous precedents. All the countries are seeing that all you have to do is invade and eventually the country that you invade will make concessions for the sake of "peace". China will be next to try this strategy.

    What is the alternative if you are a weak country (dont have nukes or not part of a military alliance like Nato)?

    Wow interesting. I guess the west sees how fucked they are if he switches off the gas pipeline and stops oil supply. It felt like he was starting to lose momentum in his war but there you go.

    Fighting till the last man was never the plan. The Ukrainians are putting up an admirable defence, but they were just trying to buy time because they were hoping that the Americans and Nato would soon come to the rescue with a 'no fly zone'

    They just realised the US and Nato are not coming to the rescue.

    Instead the US wants to use Ukraine as a drawn out proxy war with Russia for it's own ends.

    The dangerous precedents had been made long before.
    Just count how many invasions US made during the past 50 years, more than all inversions all countries in the rest of world together made .

    The US might not have quite invaded as many as the rest of world put together, but i get your point, they have invaded a very high number of countries.

    The second Iraq war set a bad precedent that Putin is now using. If the US and Nato can get away with an invasion and war with massive bombing involved to effect regime change in a sovereign country like Iraq then that sets a precedent for him to do the same in Ukraine.

    What concessions.

    Ukraine wasn't going to be accepted into NATO anytime soon. Everyone knows that. :banghead:

    Did some think they were going to find a get into NATO game prize in their Cracker Jack's. Many prolly don't get the reference. Sorry children.
