Comments by "Dale Crocker" (@dalecrocker3213) on "Russian response to zelenskyy's speech in UN" video.
Russia's goal is to take all of Donbass and defend it. It would, of course, have been much easier if Ukraine had followed the Minsk Accords and paved the way for regional autonomy, but Western greed has prevented that, and as a consequence many, many thousands of people have died to no purpose.

God Bless America.

Brilliant PR stunt, certainly.

@daydays12 These are just details of the ceasefire. The main thrust of the Accords was to allow Ukraine to pave the way to granting regional autonomy to the two breakaway Donbass republics. This Ukraine failed to do, and instead use the time to take billions of dollars from the US and other NATO countries to build up its army. These treaties are typical of treaties which are designed to fail. They contain details which will invariably be broken, thus allowing the main participant to ignore its responsibilities. The technique was developed by the Americans when making treaties between Native American tribes as a pretext for exterminating them. Ukraine exists - but mainly on paper. The territory it occupies is the territory of the former SSR of Ukraine, which was created by Moscow. The eastern and western parts have deeply divided loyalties and interests.

@frostflower5555 This comment was supposed to go with my previous one. It is sarcasm. It was done as an experiment. I originally put it immediately below the other comment but YouTube rejected the whole thing. This surprised me, since until now I didn't think the algorithm could recognise satire.

@daydays12 The main thrust of the Minsk Accords was for Ukraine to seek ways of granting regional autonomy to the two breakaway Donbass republics. The rest was just details of the ceasefire. Ukraine did nothing other than use the ceasefire to take billions of dollars from the US and other NATO countries to build up its army. The Accords, like most treaties which American lawyers have had a hand in drawing up, are full of pitfalls which mean that they are invariably broken in some minor way, thus enabling their main thrust to be ignored. It was a technique developed during the Indian Wars in the US and was used to help commit genocide. Russia's technique of handing over control to Wagner - a private army, not under official state control, might be considered somewhat dubious but it pales into insignificance beside Ukraine's cynical disregard for its obligations. You appear to be as ignorant of the military tactics employed as you are of the political background. Russia has never had any intention of taking Kiev, or indeed any of Western Ukraine. The SMO was an exercise designed purely to draw the Ukrainian army out into the open and attempt to destroy it on its own territory. Saying that Ukraine "doesn't exist" might be somewhat histrionic, but the fact remains that the new country of Ukraine is an artificial construct, based upon the boundaries of the former SSR of Ukraine, which was itself created by Moscow.

@kentl7228 If you want to take a city you don't line up old equipment manned by disposable raw troops and trundle down the main highway, nose to tail. Putin has made it quite clear that taking al of Ukraine is impractical and undesirable.

@kentl7228 Th SMO wasn't designed to take Kiev or any part of Western Ukraine. That's why it was called an SMO. Russia cynically threw tons of ancient armour and thousands of raw troops in an exercise designed purely to soak up as much of Ukraine's resources as possible. They were lined up in a row, like so many ducks in a fairground, and sent along the main highway. That's not how you conquer a city. What the Russians did in Mariupol is how you conquer a city.

@kentl7228 What would Russia want with Kiev? It would mean an endless civil war. Russia simply used disposable assets - old armour and raw troops - to soak up Ukraine's military resources. A five minute glance at their tactics proves this.

Kursk is a farce.

@brianchandler1365 Only partially. The bodies had fairly eclectic origins.

@richardmoloney689 Russia was foolish enough to believe they would though.
