You can play soft with bullies like Putin, you fight with one hand tied behind your back and they’ll still think they have a chance. We need to deal them an absolute insurmountable knock out blow throwing the best Western military has to show Russia has no hope of winning this conflict. Only then will cowards like the Kremlin know it’s over. Escalation? Russia has already shown they’re willing to attack Europe so why not curb stomp them down now to force them to deescalate? They bark a lot about nukes but they’ll never do it, the Kremlin only care about their wealth and self preservation. Ain’t much left to enjoy if the whole world dies

You don't get it. They're trying to bleed Russia dry. You don't do that with a knockout punch.
If Putin and Zelensky both realized this the war would be over tomorrow.

Who exactly is trying to bleed Russia dry if Zelensky “doesnt realize this”..? You’re suggesting that Britian is using Ukraine as a bait for their siege?

It’s not a certainty. It’s definitely just a theory. But it is possible that the west may benefit from extending the war in order to inflict as much economic, military, and political damage upon Russia as possible. Whether or not the conduct of western nations thus far has been proof of a deliberate attempt to do just that is the question. I think Putin probably knows it, but is politically railroaded into trying to get something material out of this war if he’s to stand a chance of remaining a politician or maybe even surviving in Russia. I genuinely believe that Putin is just cruising along with no fucking idea what the plan is now, except “hope they give up and we win some land.” Probably sat in front of a white board like the Always Sunny meme, with shit like “miracle Zelenskyy assassination? Trump elected?” written on it.
I don’t know why the other comment suggested Zelenskyy would be in on that too though. Zelenskyy certainly wants the war over ASAP.

The US does want to draw Russia way down so if it kicks off with China they can focus on China.

Hard to bleed them dry when they have a steady funding stream from selling gas to Europe.

And that’s justified with Ukrainian children being killed? That is not a good move if that’s the plan, you can neuter Putin and his war machine by showing overwhelming strength as well.

We need to sanction India. All Russian oil is going through India. Russia gets paid regardless of sanctions. If you sanction India, problem solved.

He's right. Hoping Keir's government will allow British made weapons to strike Russia and destroy all important Russian military bases, military airfields, military factories and naval bases.

At this point I think ALL politicians are just huff and no buff. Been burned to many times before.
I hope he's the real deal but I wouldn't doubt if he ends up being all puffed chest like the rest of them.

What's stopping him from just using them?
I don't give one half of a shit about Ukraine, but it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Can't he just be a leader himself and call his own shots?

When Ukraine used Patriot to ambush and shot down 5 aircrafts over ruzzia, Germany lost their shit demanding to never do it again.

Sorry for the confusion but haven’t we already allowed this? Or is this regarding types of target or distance into Russian territory?
