Ukraine is huge, plenty of places to hide, their forces can't occupy the whole country if resistance continues, armies these days are not ww2 numbers

We’ve done morality earlier in the thread, do you ascribe to a singular morality?

Not at all.
Being in support of an unprovoked assault by one country on another is an indefensible standpoint. Nothing can be said to justify it.

The problem quite often is framing. I do not support the invasion of Ukraine, now what?

Not all professionals though….most are conscripts on national service etc…. They still have fuck loads of proper troops but no where near as much as they like to make people think….

Absolutely mad how ordinary life has been turned upsidedown for the Ukrainian people all because of a crazed nutjob in the Cremlin. A few weeks ago most of these lasses would have been more concerned with keeping up with their Facebook posts then anything else. Imagine if in a month the lads on here were being given a Kalashnikov and pulled off to London to fight and our lasses were sat in Keel square making Molotov cocktails. That's what's happening to these people.Where did you see this? I saw the Sky one earlier this morning

I see in this tweet it's also been on the BBC and they look pretty calm given the circumstances as if it's just a normal day doing a group activity and not that they're preparing for an attack by making molotov cocktails!What a f***ing shit situation for them to be in and I hope this is all over sooner rather than later for them and everyone else.

Yeah but they are not really very well trained as Russia as country can't afford to train or equip all of them.

Funny how framing of the conversation can make people believe things that just aren’t there.

Sorry but you are talking utter bollocks, they have provided weapons and money to help them fight. My Nephew has also been flown a way from home to the east to help with these supply lines I will tell him he is not doing his bit though, it’s not all about visas there is a bigger picture. On the visas they are not doing ENOUGH but to say not doing their bit is massively arrogant and a massive insult to those young lads and lasses who are away from home. How do you think the supplies will get to the border?

On paper.. Do you think all of them are properly equipped and in a position fight, he is using his best troops now, the rest is a conscript army
Russia cannot sustain a long campaign, they cannot afford it

Do you condemn the unprovoked attack by Russia on Ukraine?

Sure. Whilst I do believe Russia have some legitimate grievances, Ukraine are largely an innocent party and do not deserve aggression.

And a conscript army can fight, if they believe the cause they are fighting for, protests in Russia from young people indicates they don't all believe it, Ukrainians are fighting for a cause they can rally around, it makes a difference
