ewerk 26346 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I obviously know fuck all about warfare but this doesn't seem to be going all that well for Russia. The invasion appears to have been pretty slow. We haven't seen the shock and awe tactics that I thought they would implement. So far the Ukranians appear to have being holding up pretty well. Their morale seems to have been boosted by their relative success thus far and they know that more hardware and assistance is coming from abroad. Meanwhile Russia is in a state of panic. Nearly totally isolated from the outside world with severe hardships about to be felt by their people. So we've avoided WW3 but have brought in the harshest sanctions while avoiding direct military intervention. It couldn't have gone much better to this point from a Western POV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree despite my initial scepticism of our approach - that view was predicated on the notion that Ukraine would simply be unable to defend itself however, which is what the thread that Toonpack posted talks about. If you look at Russia's invasion of Crimea, Ukraine was entirely unable to repel them. It has however spent the last 8 years addressing that problem, and so has a much more capable standing army now. I will admit that Western governments do seem to have called this right - which is good, because that's what we pay them for. Given that Ukraine hasn't just folded and given up, that Zelensky has proven himself to be a strong and charismatic leader, and that Russia appears considerably weaker than many of us thought, there are a lot of positives indeed. However, I do wonder if Ukraine might go for neutrality as part of the peace discussion, which would rule them out of joining the EU - that would be a shame, as I think their battle for their country should be rewarded with the freedom to break away from that lunatic properly. If peace cannot be reached, and if Russia starts carpet bombing Ukraine, then I'm going to start feeling like we should intervene directly once again. But as things stand, I agree we're in a good position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
