Unlikely that the missile came from Russia apparently

Zelensky still trying to point the finger at Russia.

An US Army General just stated a full Ukrainian victory is highly unlikely and that Russia still has the combat power to continue a bombardment for as long as they see fit.

BBC won’t report this though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BBC are so biased in this conflict, I really don't know why.

Even in Iraq war they appeared to be neutral.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know if the BBC were ever non bias, I wasn't into politics back then so hard to tell, however journalism now isn't what it use to be.
The established news media and governments are heavily influenced by big corporations now, we shouldn't trust any of them.

"America's top general has warned that Kyiv's chances in the short term of winning the war by taking back all Russian-occupied land are 'not high, militarily'."

I've noticed that BBC-bashers do tend to be among the stupidest and most tiresome people on the planet

Sigh, what a douche
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do you guys love war so much?

There's not much he said wrong here, the West should've done a lot more to negotiate peace, but they didn't want to, that's probably why Boris Johnson talked Zelensky from stopping the peace negotiations.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you want Ukraine to give part of their country, and people of course, to a country that invaded them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The history is complicated and I'm not even going to pretend I know it all.
This conflict didn't just start with Russia invading Ukraine, USA (as usual) exacerbated the issues with Russia and Ukraine.

At the end of the day, war should be avoided at all costs, if it was your family members that were forced to go to war I'm sure you would have a different view.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope, any more than I would have had when Germany invaded England, any more than my parents did. I don't think they would have given Germany, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset for example?
And this war absolutely started with Russia invading Ukraine.

I have a Ukrainian neighbour who's parents are in Kyiv with no electricity and he and his parents want peace, but don't want to appease the invaders.

Only yesterday a few on this thread said a total Russian loss is exactly what should happen

posted on 17/11/22

Should is not the same as would or could.

Should is not the same as would or could, you are right.
But it's what we want, certainly in the UK. We need to keep backing them, because it is right to do so.

They are defending their country, and people, from a larger country who invaded them, purely because the president wanted to.

We, all of us, must make it plain to Putin, that he is wrong, and that he cannot win.

Yeah, I know. As posted earlier I have one Ukrainian friend who's parents are freezing in the dark in Kyiv. They won't surrender any of their country. I also know quite a few who are descended from previous waves of immigration. One of those guys is back there driving an ambulance.

Nobody thinks they know better. But they know what is right. Which is to defend themselves.

I guess it depends on your perspective.

I Ukraine fight until breaking point, it will financially crush not only Ukraine and Russia but the rest of Europe, result more deaths than necessary, potentially escalate and result in years more suffering.

Maybe they will keep their land, join the EU and NATO, and Russia will have egg on their face being forced into a recluse from the rest of the world, but like that leading General said, it’s highly unlikely.

So, I like to be pragmatic, and consider the best solution available to end this ASAP. War breaks my heart, for reasons close to me, and I don’t see how this ends well for anybody.

It is the best way to end the war.
But, and it's a big but, agreeing to Russia keeping the country they currently occupy is one thing. But the people who live there don't want it.
So how can Zalensky give away millions of peoples lives, in a democracy.
As I said earlier, could the UK have given away, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset to the Germans for 'peace'.

You can't compare that to Ukraine and Russia, totally different. Germany and UK had nothing to do with each other, they didn't have the complicated history like those countries.

Who knows what the peace treaty involved, but reports said the two sides appeared to have made tenuous progress toward a settlement to end the war until Boris pressured Zelensky to ditch peace talks with Russia. Doing the peace talks earlier would've had less of Russia occupying Ukraine.

The war is not just affecting Ukraine but the majority of the world, I'm constantly getting ads on youtube about the global food crisis affecting places in Africa due to the war in Ukraine, we are on the verge of a global food shortage crisis (but not just because of Ukraine though)

US has given already around $54 billion, this war is likely to last years, how much more would be required and is it sustainable?

I can and did compare them. It's valid.
Everyone knows the cost of war, but what about the cost of peace. What solution are you suggesting, and will it involve millions of people living in a dictatorship?

Your second paragraph is almost certainly untrue.

If Russia can afford it then the USA and EU certainly can.
