Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[LeGenD]

Shamed and ridiculed? Why not sanctioned?

Russia has been rightly sanctioned already.

Dear, can I impose sanctions on them? For general knowledge - this matter can be taken to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

I recall China imposing limited-scale sanctions on USA but this was in relation to Hong Kong. China is a big and powerful country though - an economic giant.

Part and parcel of war what if Ukrainian nazis were using hospitals as bases?

How many Ukrainians are Nazis? What about Russian Nazis?

What an hour? You are daydreaming if you think it will last an hour?.. In my estimation WW3 will be running for a whopping 10 years with multiple series of conflicts nonestop

Multiple conflicts have already happened.

Started by the USA after the Cold War, especially 9/11, continued with the Iraq invasion, Arab Springs, Libya, Syria, Hongkong, and now we are arriving at the near climax of the war, the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

WW3 is basically the World War by USA.

We all are just waiting for "the hour" before everyone can conclude that this is the WW3.

Without the hour no one is going to believe that WW3 has already happened.

If we start getting into "what about" we'll never get to discuss anything else. As to how many Ukrainian Nazis? Not sure but their military denying safe passage and even beating blacks, Indians, Arabs or anyone non-white should tell you the problem cannot be ignored.

55% of them on this picture are not even ethnic Russians. Smart move by Putin, thin out the ethnic minorities a bit.

No one knows what will happen in this war, but one thing is for sure:

Every city in Ukraine has become famous around the world. LOL.

Before long, you won't need maps to walk around Ukraine the next time you visit.

Before using the tactical nuke option Russia would try to use more conventional force. Nobody wants to join the nuke user club and considering Russia's "gentle" approach so far they can definitely escalate their use of force before getting to nuke territory. Also, if Russia plans on occupying the territory, a no-nuke policy would be a must otherwise even their supporters/neutrals will turn against them.

Gentle approach? NO.

Russians have used over 600 cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in Ukraine by now.

Russian forces are shelling Ukrainian cities as well:

Russian rockets are falling indiscriminately on Ukrainian cities

The goal may be to spread terror

In Photos: Russian Artillery, Bombs Pound Ukrainian Cities As Civilians Continue To Die

Russia's invasion of Ukraine continued unabated over the weekend, with Ukraine saying Russian forces had launched hundreds of missiles and artillery attacks across the country, including dropping powerful bombs on residential areas of Chernihiv, a city north of the capital, Kyiv.

Ukrainians are using UAVs to take out Russian artillery pieces on the other hand:

The Russian Army Has A Problem: Ukraine Keeps Killing Its Tanks

Overall, Ukraine is fighting gallantly against Russian armor and tanks forces. But the Russians have paused and re-grouped.

Some PDF members are in disbelief though. Mighty Russian army not living up to its usual hype.

You are not up-to-date on developments in Ukraine. This much is clear.

Bombing hospitals is wrong and unethical - even if enemy troops are there. Fight them outside.

Bombarding hospital or other civilian areas is never on, period.

But use of human shields is forbidden by the Geneva convention. That's how Israel, US and now Russia will get away with it, by just using the magical term "Human Shields"

Bombing civilian areas is a big no no, but for that to change, we need to amend Geneva conventions.

General clark is right when he says, if we are afraid to act because of a nuclear threat, what will we do if he goes after the next country?

His use of nuclear force should not in any way prevent us from acting. He will use it if he wants to. That is his right and his decision. All we can do in that respect is have retaliatory capabilities ready and all the secret capabilities ready that will deny him the ability to launch as many as possible. Nuclear war is definitely winnable by the US, it always has been. US has always believed that and thats why they have all the things in place if it should ever happen. Obviously best avoided.

He also says that the future of the western world will depend upon Russia succeeding or failing here in Ukraine. I agree with this.
