@trudicastle I hate the guy for an in-game reason. First time I met him, he was already hostile, possibly because I had killed a GIANT FUCKING BEAR that wanted to maul me to death. So I farmed him for runes a couple dozen times. Then absolved my own sins and made peace with the guy.
Just brainstorming a little bit here, but it seems highly suspicious that #Putin would let all these high ranking officers be put in danger on the front. Given his past and Russia's past, I see a purge as the most likely reason for all those "losses" in #Ukraine.
@DastDn Ukraine barely has the numbers to hold the line for the moment. Let's be realistic, the best they can do is put up a decent fight for a couple of months.
@zhingobaaboo @idreesali114 I pray for all this senseless slaughter to end as soon as humanly possible.
Return to the status quo would be preferable, but I'd settle for a full annexation of the Moldova-Crimea corridor.

@soonerhokie@HannibalBarcids @OVargas52 A pity, you were so "engageable" and agreeable up until the very end.
Whereas I do agree with some of your points, the fact the Russian population in Donbass has been targeted by the Ukrainian government is not in doubt. The shelling began far, far earlier than 2022...
@soonerhokie@HannibalBarcids @OVargas52 Yes, it was clearly not a "spontaneous" uprising, it was clearly instigated by Russia. The fact is, those people *are* Russian and *have* been killed, shelled and displaced because of their Russian ethnicity. That's not something one can deny.
@DGreen4Life @Angry_Staffer @jenbobetal @ZelenskyyUa Russia is not escalating this further, even when they could. Ukraine could not hope to regain all their lost territory before running out of manpower, so the only solution would be a negotiated peace, but there's no way in hell he will give an inch of territory back.
@uwulooper Definitely more complicated than most people seem to be willing to accept. They're both dubious sources and rather corrupt governments, and both have no qualms in annihilating civilian populations.
@PhilSch14745302 That would mean a major conflict and inevitable escalation, do you realize that? Crimea is Russian, so is Donbass. Ukraine will never join NATO, the initial lack of support guaranteed that.
