Russia-Ukraine war has begun

Let’s focus on the parallel I was thinking about rather than battle tactics.

Among all of Russia’s atrocities, they seem to be ethnically cleansing the occupied regions by killing men and kidnapping women and children.

Israel seems to be ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip by pushing civilians out.

Hard to know what’s true without first-hand knowledge.
There are no parallels. Israel is not ethnically cleansing, in any sense.
Israel also isn't the topic of this thread. Can you guys take this elsewhere?
 
Smart move by Z. Trump will eat this up.
Except for the slight unforced error of saying “United States should…“ Trump isn’t Vance but JD Vance would have thrown a hissy fit about that.

Far more clever would have been to say “I know the United States is paying close attention to all this…”
 
They’re reporting an exodus of Russians and war weariness in the citizenry in addition to low morale in the troops.
Sorry, it was only coming up as a picture for me. I went back to look at it and saw the video.his

Hard to tell if this is accurate, since they don't give any sources, but I don't doubt it's happening to some degree.

Yeah, same thoughts. I actually tried verifying immigration counts into Finland and other places, and the numbers didn’t seem to match up too well. But they were also a little bit outdated so it’s hard to know.

Russia has a population around 150 million. The US had a much higher population during Vietnam and the 58,000 deaths there touched pretty much everyone in the US.

I can't imagine how the number of Russian deaths in the war are affecting the average Russian, even if they don't have a loved one in the military. They have to see the funerals and graveyards.
 
One interesting thing in that video that seems plausible is the idea that this latest batch of 160,000 conscripts are from closer to Moscow. That’s not gonna go over too well either.

Nothing to do with politics, but that's not a good answer. How does one bomb another country and call it a mistake?
