Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to "immediately" order a ceasefire in Ukraine and start negotiations if Kyiv began withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected what he called an ultimatum by Putin to surrender more territory.
Shouldn’t the Leopard tanks have turned the tide of battle? Or the NATO equipment and training? Or the other round of NATO equipment and training? Or the MANPADS? Or the third shipment of NATO equipment and training? Or the F-16s that are totally coming any day now (which will definitely turn the tide of the war guise! It’s not silly to make a plane that can’t handle dirt on the airway)? What about the drone tactics Ukraine used to terrorbomb russian civilian targets, wasn’t that supposed to turn the tide of the war? What about the bombing of the Crimea bridge, how come that didn’t turn the tide of the war?
You guys keep saying Russia is about to run out of equipment, but they still have stocks and stocks of shells, meanwhile NATO countries are struggling to rearm after having donated so much equipment to Ukraine. Maybe there isn’t a wunderwaffe that will win the war, and maybe it’s senseless to continue this meat-grinder. The Ukrainians don’t want to fight, they have to be forcibly conscripted.
But! If you think they should continue to die for some vague cause, why don’t you go volunteer? They need bodies. The average age is 43, so you won’t be turned away for being “too old” or “too young”. Why don’t you volunteer for Ukraine?
