      The thread is about Finland throwing fuel into the fire. You made claims that Ukraine has some path towards victory here, which is blatantly wrong. Your whole premise for prolonging this conflict is fundamentally wrong.

      My claims are based on the factual information available. Since you don’t like the facts of the situation you try to dismiss them as Russian propaganda, which is a pretty sad troll tactic. Maybe try engaging with reality instead.

      I’ve come to realize there is no point trying to convince people such as you of anything. You’re basically no different from a cult member, like a QAnon fanatic.

          If Ukraine cannot win the war, which is clearly the case, then surrendering to Russia is the only possible outcome. I realize you’re incapable of wrapping your head around this simple truth. The only thing the west is currently achieving is ensuring that more people suffer and die. The outcome is not in question.

          But have you ever wondered why other/mainstream military experts have opposite views, and other countries who are listening to them are still continuing supporting Ukraine?

          We don’t have to wonder about that at all. US officials openly stated that the war is being used to weaken Russia. The goal was always to cynically use Ukraine as a tool to do that. This is being openly admitted by US, yet trolls such as yourself continue to pretend otherwise.

          The reason I refer to you as a cult member is because you continue to push narrative that’s directly at odds with reality. Even mainstream western media is now abandoning it, but simpletons who bought into it at the start are having hard time letting go because they’ve become deeply invested in it.

              We’ve already seen everything that needs to be seen. Ukraine lost most of the army they started with, and western resupplies don’t come anywhere near replacing that. Not only is Ukraine operating with less hardware right now, and a much diminished army, they also now have a hodgepodge of different weapons systems they aren’t familiar with and have no way to repair.

              Anybody with a couple of brain cells to bang together understands that if they weren’t able to win at their peak performance, there is no chance of them winning now. Meanwhile, Russia has yet to commit any additional troops over the 150k troops they started with, which account for a small percentage of their overall military capacity. Not only that, but Russia has far better supply chains, while Ukraine has now lost it’s military industrial capacity and solely relies on supplies from the west. 70% of these supplies never make it to the front line as western media recently reported.

              Of course, the west itself isn’t faring well either. A British think tank found that the west lacks military industrial capacity to match Russia, and that western weapon stocks have already been dangerously depleted. The amount of support the west is able to provide Ukraine is inherently limited.

              Only a deluded fanatic could continue to think that Ukraine has any chance of winning this war.

              The reason I refer to you as a troll and a propagandist is because you continue to push narrative that’s for Russia’s benefit only.

              On the contrary. I push the narrative that’s to everyone’s benefit. The narrative that the west and Russia have to come to terms and stop the war is the only sane narrative. People who continue to push for further escalation of this conflict are despicable ghouls.

              Also, you are unable to say if I’m right about something. You failed to debunk any claims concerning Finland.

              What claims specifically have I “failed” to debunk about Finland?

                  This very much belongs here because that’s the context for whether supporting continuation of the war is ethical or not. What makes you a QAnon cultist and a troll is the fact that you continue to promote the war despite the fact that Ukraine cannot win it.

                  This is false. Bending the knee to Russia now means some other nation will bend the knee next. How is that for everyone’s benefit? This doesn’t sound neutral. The consequences are not for everyone’s benefit.

                  This is true. The premise behind your claims is once again that the west is able to defeat Russia in this war. This is at odds with the facts. The longer the war goes the worse off all of the west will be. we’re already seeing western economies crashing leading to political destabilization across Europe. This will only get worse by winter.

                  The most likely outcome is that Russia will end up taking over most of Ukraine. Europe will suffer a huge economic collapse, and this will destabilize the governments leading to regime changes across Europe. The unfolding economic disaster is already causing tensions in EU and NATO. Hungary is already refusing to play ball, and other countries will follow the same route once the choice is between freezing and breaking with EU policy. Meanwhile, Turkey has just signed a huge economic deal with Russia, and countries outside the western bloc are increasingly aligning around BRICS with western global economic reach shrinking as a result. One has to do serious mental gymnastics to think that this is somehow advantageous for the west geopolitically.

                  So, while you keep bleating about not bending the knee and acting tough, the reality is that the west is showing itself to be weak and incompetent. It’s, of course, important to remember that all Russia was demanding at the start was that Ukraine remains neutral and abandons its ambitions to join NATO. Before the war started there was an even balance of power between Russia and the west, and Russia was not interested in testing it. Now that the balance has been tested it turns out that Russia is in a much stronger position than anyone, including the Russians, expected. This is a horrific outcome for the west.

                  I asked you to debunk any of them because you claimed everything I post is misinformation.

                  I have done this repeatedly in this thread. You just keep repeating the same nonsense over and over like a broken record. Your fundamental premise is invalid, and I’ve explained in detail why that is so.
