Title: Ukraine cannot win
Post by Daves2017 on Jun 12th, 2024 at 9:17pm
We should offer immigration to the families while supporting the rearguard.

Get the woman and kids out of there.

They will be valued new Australians.

No one can win this war.

Even if Ukraine gave up the territory lost so far -
what would Russia have gained?
Look at Mariupol - it looks like Hiroshima - totally wrecked.

Looks more like modern day Detroit. Hiroshima looks pretty good these days.

nah - even if Russia "wins"  in will take them 30 years to rebuild the cities
and 100 years to clear all the unexploded shells and mines from the land.
Then they have soil poisoned by depleted Uranium.
Ukraine is a poisoned chalice.

No, Ukrainians should get preference over Russians.

That is irrelevant to what I was responding. I am saying that Hiroshima looks pretty good in the year 2024. The year 2024 for Detroit still has that city looking like a war zone.

Check out Joe and Nic's Road Trip for videos of this couple going around various towns and cities and seeing the decay of various areas. That will give you some perspective.

We should not be holding the citizens of either country accountable for the wars their politicians created.

I was just retorting to LTYC about 'nazis'.

You said "No, Ukrainians should get preference over Russians". Not to be confused with "No Ukrainians should get preference over Russians".

My response is that we should not be discriminatory against either Russian or Ukrainian citizens over a war started by their respective governments.

My 'No' was replying to 'Nazis?'

The post from you was that "No, Ukrainians should get preference over Russians". There was no mention of "Nazis". Please don't be disingenuous.

You badly underestimate the courage and determination of the Ukrainians. They don't want to leave, they want to stay and fight. Ukraine does not have to 'win', all Ukraine has to do is not lose. Russia's quick and decisive campaign has become a running sore that will bleed the country white.

Ukrainians are shooting over their shoulders as they do a runner?

Belgarion is a fatansizer.
