  1. I'm a Russian citizen too, I think Medvedev simply says what Putin can't because of political correctness.

  2. Why do you think that Ukrainian breakthrough can end the war?

  3.  @praesodym6117  Wars are good for nothing, but we have no choice.

  4.  @aaronbaker2186  Russian victory is a victory for Ukraine too, because it means denazification and restoration of democracy in Ukraine. Similarly Russian defeat is a defeat for Ukraine, because both countries will cease to exist. So I'm afraid that even realisation that this war can't be won is not a reason to stop fighting.

  5. 170 thousands Russian troops are fighting against 500 thousands Ukrainian. Zeihan: Russians always try to win by numbers. Me: Facepalm.

  6. "you have my sword/bow/axe" means that I'm going with you, not that I'm giving you my weapon.

  7.  @gikigill788  76%. I personally voted for Putin. He received high support even from Russians who live abroad. 80% of Russians who live in Germany voted for Putin (higher than average). 52% in UK. 61% in USA. After the end of WW2 Israel persecuted around 40 Jews among city mayors or local deputies who helped nazis to kill their own people. It proves that even a Jew can be nazi. But I guess that the accusations about Israel being nazis was said in context of genocide of Palestinians.

  10.  @the0ne809  The chief of NATO said when they bombed Yugoslavia that civilian suffer only because Miloscevic refuses to surrender. You use the same ill logic here.

  11.  @project_X_design  I voted for Putin, why would I protest?

  12.  @Hoophey  Putin can end the war only by winning it, but it will take more time.

  13.  @Hoophey  Putin can only win this war. Then it will end.

  14.  @Hoophey  He can't.

  15.  @FuturuzedBrain931  People can protest in Russia, but in the US or EU they will be gunned by police.

  16.  @Pumped-p3e  Russia was attacked by Ukraine and NATO. Even if Putin gives a retreat order, then Ukrainian and NATO troops will simply push forward.

  17.  @Pumped-p3e  It reminds me how the chief of NATO said that civilians in Yugoslavia suffer only because Miloscevic refuses to surrender. It seems you always blame the victim.

  18.  @richrdroma  This war was unnecessary indeed, but Ukraine moved towards it since 1991 and achieved its goal in 2022 "thanks" to Zelensky. During all this time Ukraine always had an option to restore good relationships with Russia, but no...
