  This whole war and the blatant lies and misinformation just piss me off.
  Putin needs to be removed.
context: Officials, in the West and in Ukraine, had begun to wonder if Russia's "energy war" might be coming to an end, due to a possible shortage of suitable missiles and the evident fact the strategy has yet to break Ukraine's spirit.
  
  If there is one thing Russia has shown us, it is a stubborn willingness to commit to bad strategy at the expense of victory. >
  
  Could they really be victorious with good strategy at this point?  They basically lost this war in the first few weeks >
  
  Yeah. If they couldn't win when they had surprise, morale, and their military at its best and most trained while Ukraine didn't have much western equipment yet I don't see why anyone (including Russia) would think they could win now. 
  Ukraine now has a lot of western equipment and training. 1st Howitzers, then HIMARS, and now they are getting tanks. Ukraine is only getting stronger, better equipment, and better weapon systems. 
  It should be simple to see the outcome of this war with anyone who isn't completely blinded by bias. >

  might not be bias, if Putin is forced to admit defeat and lose Crimea hed probably be the next guy falling out a window, the only thing he can do is keep the war going to appear strong and pray that attrition favours russia >
  
  Russia truly losing this war in the official sense would cause another revolutionary wave - even if definitely much smaller.
  Belarus, Hungary, Iran, Serbia, and North Korea would lose a major ally or even direct sponsor.
  The right wing wave would lose C3 and even a source of cash (so C4? lol). >
  
  The accompanying photo looks an awful lot like a residential building. >
  
  "And hits energy infrastructure."
  Of course they're hitting energy infrastructure because that is what they're aiming for.
  It is deliberate attempt to demoralize people of Ukraine because Russia does not have professional army and are relying largely on Wagner mercenaries and untrained conscripts. >
  
  They are doing the Zapp Brannigan strategy of sending wave after wave of man until the Ukraine trenches that they are attacking runs out of ammo. 
  Sadly seems to be working for right now. Ukraine needs bigger guns. >
  
  russia is a terrorist state, full stop >
  
  Why won't anyone bomb Moscow's energy infrastructure? Sometimes the bully needs to be bullied. >
  
  Because it could bring about a world war, or at least that's what I was told when asked the same question. >

  Must be a lot of Nazis in there, you know, along will the woman and many kids who have been crushed. >
  
  But the media was saying they ran out of missiles. Man people fall for propaganda. Just because one side may be right doesn’t mean they don’t try to manipulate you. Unless Ukraine strikes factories inside Russia they are going to produce more and more missile. I find it strange how piecemeal the West is waging the war. A bit of aid here a bit of aid there >
  
  Russia's ability to use missles is being reduced to the point they can't use them the way they did at the opening of the war.  They can't produce at the rate they used them before.   In that sense, they are running out.  Difference between getting water from a swimming pool and trying to drink from a faucet. >
  
  Someone should ass-ass-in-ate that murderous thug Poo-tin! >
  
  Eat his ass? >
  
  How long?  How long before Europe realizes that russia will not stop and is an existential threat to Europe?
  It is obvious that russia is not going to give up and go home.  On the contrary, russia is pushing All-In and fully intends to exercise military power to achieve its expansionist goals.  (This is like watching WW3 in slow-motion.)  Western engagement with russia is going to happen.  It's not"If".... it's "when".  So... how much more damage will the west allow before they FINALLY say "OK, that's enough"? >
  
  Come on man. By the looks of things, no they won't stop in Ukraine for a good long while. 
  But if Russia couldn't (or didn't want to) even sweep across Ukraine like it was nothing, they are many light years away to pose any kind of "existential" threat to the Western world (nuclear war aside, of course). >
  
  They support operations to disrupt Western democracies like buying out the German SPD party or hacking US Democratic party emails. >
  
  Yeah. You can bet food money that "we" been doing/are doing pretty much the same things since pretty much forever. 
  These 4D chess between States must be as old as time itself. >
  
  Kneecap all their railroad infrastructure please… >

  Because it would really kick off, the Russian population would cry victim and Putin could justify all out war, not just special operation >
  
  beside not using nukes how whats happening now isnt all out war? >
  
  That sound something that would actually speed up downfall of russia, without being much different for rest of the world. >
  
  russia is a terrorist state, full stop
