Can you have sympathy for the deceased as well?
I always think that is a strange concept. If I die I am dead, and become and inanimate object with no emotions so what’s the point of people having sympathy for me? It’s my wife, family and friends who are left with the pain and grief who need the sympathy.

Not great reading


It's an interesting read, and a good counter balance to some of the pro-Ukraine boosterism.

FDD are well know neo-con pro-conflict think tank, and I think that comes across strongly

The big problem I have with it is that he compares the Russian invasion of Ukraine with the US invasion of Iraq - the shock and awe didn't work and so a ground assault was necessary

At the risk of stating the obvious - Iraq was a bloody shambles. If the Russians are only doing as well as the Americans did i Iraq they are in big trouble

(apologies that you posted this some time ago, but I don't have time to keep up with this thread real time)
 
No, just no to ‘the more killed the better’. Get the sentiment but it’s an abhorrent way to look at it.
Of course the best option is the Russians turn around and go home without another death. But until they do then they have to be killed. Putin’s fault, no one else’s.
 

I am getting more optimistic by the hour.

I am actually feeling some sympathy for Russian soldiers stuck in that convoy because unless something happens soon I think a lot of them will be dying a cold miserable and senseless death.

The east of Ukraine is another matter. Putin and anyone allowing this to happen now should be held accountable. I don't care how frightened they are of him and the butchers around him.
 
And I'm the troll?

Astonishing.
Can you not understand the sentiment? These soldiers have invaded people's homeland. They need to leave or suffer the consequences and whilst I feel for the position the Russian soldiers are in (facing death in the next few days) if it takes the deaths of every soldier in the column to stop this war then I won't lose sleep.
You missed Brexiters.
Pathetic.
