Lots of Russians died too, so as far as they're concerned it's a win.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 16 points 2 years ago

they could have surrendered just like the other Russians did.

That's not really how wars work in the 2020s. There's no opportunity to surrender when you get droned in a truck miles away from the front lines or hit by a glide-bomb in your barracks hundreds of miles from the front. We saw the same thing in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Okay call it not surrendering then but deserting and then surrender.

Between deserting and surrendering is sneaking across miles of territory, through the front lines, in hopes that the other side accepts your surrender and puts you in a POW camp instead of droning the guy in an enemy uniform sneaking towards their position.

We've seen plenty of videos of both sides droning people trying to surrender.

Not "lots of", more Russian soldiers died than Ukrainians, as is typical for this conflict.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Oh good, more Russian orphans than Ukrainian orphans were created. That makes this all worthwhile.

emphasis on the soldiers part but alright

plus, in war casualties are what matters. I'm only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.

Good, maybe that way they grow a spine and overthrow their government instead of rape and kidnapping children in Ukraine

Yeah, it's really convenient when you can force other people to fight and die for your war..

In our defense we didn’t invade either country.

True, but this war isn’t ours. We just provided matériel to an ally who was invaded. That’s what we’re supposed to do.

[-] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

yes amerikkka and its european puppets ONLY, supported a qoup and its resulting regime, tried to pull said qoup regime into an allience of aggression designed to threaten Russia, provided said regime with weapons, provides said regime with munitions, provides said regime with satellite data to make it possible to target stuff, provides said regime with money, proivides said regimes soldiers with training and encourages mercenaries to go fight for said regime.

yep its NOT a proxiwar and amerikkka is NOT involved in any meaningful way, and for sure gold stars do NOT keep appearing at a much higher rate than before in the CIAs stupid war criminal celebration wall.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

[-] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago
