Finland beat Russia to a stalemate without really any allies. Ukraine is a cold-war style proxy war all over again.

Oh..that guy. Yeah I blocked him. Questionmarktarius I mean. Seemed like a weirdo.

I had made a movie topic that got purged and was talking about it. So he "advised me" to make a new one. Before I could do it, he made the topic himself and said "it's yours now" . It was weird.

Ukraine needs to go beyond that, and retake Crimea.
Does look like they're on the way to that.

Maybe in better times, after Putin is in the ground, Ukraine may be cool with Russia docking in Sevastopol again.
In future awesome times, NATO may have a dock there.

He already put himself in the losing position by starting the war, since everyone is against him now, and will be even more if he wins. But winning seems like the only option in which he'll retain any sort of power at least. Ukraine didn't have power, so it doesn't have that much to lose.

And that's the bullshit.

If Ukraine gives up, there is no Ukraine anymore. We are talking about millions of people losing their lives and homes.

If Russia gives up, Putin and the other war criminals in the Kremlin lose their political power.

"Same thing both sides"

Ukraine didn't have power, so it doesn't have that much to lose.

Oh, you are not even claiming "same thing", you say that Putin has it worse.

You meant *one of the several other guys from latin america who were saying the same thing I was, and which is the truth, that the term puto is not used as a gay slur as much as a general insult, despite it "literal" origin. It's what it is. If you don't like it, too bad.

Why ? I don't know why people started to be hostile , there wasnt anything wrong about the discussion and what he was saying.

Putin won't want to surrender , i think that is realistic , because he would lose everything or that's how it will be in his eyes..So it's not realistic to think he will just surrender and that the war will end this way.

That is what they were talking about before others joined. If Putin hasn't been killed yet then he has good protection. However I think that NATO will protect Ukraine now and Putin knows that , so that is one more reason he won't want to accept that he lost because that will mean to be at the mercy of US and that is what he feared about Ukraine joining nato since the start. I just don't think he will surrender if he still hasn't done it , thats why I'm worried the war can go on for long and expand to other countries..

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



I think it's most realistic to say in Putin's eyes surrender now is worse than anything else for him. Because otherwise I dont see why he wouldn't surrender when things started to go badly for him way back , now it would be even worse. It would be better if he did but I don't think he would

Ukraine giving up means they lose everything so they won't.

And so the other guy replied that he thinks Russia sees it the same way and thats why they wont give up either.

Wtf, it's not about the likelyhood at all, and if you had read the posting you quoted to the end, you would know it.

You compare the political influence of a single political war criminal, with the literal life of million of Ukrainians.

Hulk compared these two things, and said "Ukraine doesn't have that much to lose".

That Putin will not give up, is obvious, and we know that. That's what was already said ages ago here:

No i dont think that makes him a victim. Ukraine had the right to join Nato and Putin feared that would make him lose power and control because then Ukraine has support of Putin's enemies. I dont think that makes him a victim

The world rallied behind them.and now the Russian people are stuck to a corrupt despot who is drunk with power and refuses to accept that he's destroying his own nation.
Yes he is drunk with power is why I dont see that he would accept it , he is too proud and i think accepting a loss is worse than anything in his eyes. Again because why didn't he surrender last year?

No. The discussion was about when do we think the war could end. The post i quoted said it can only end if putin dies or is overthrown because the other side couldnt give up because they have too much to lose.

So the other guy said its the same thing for russia.
Putin thinks he has everything to lose .
I agree , because if that was not the case , Putin would have made some deal since last year , even if not accepting he lost , but anything to stop continuing to lose more lives and money , but he didn't

And that's how it became bullshit.

Putin is not the same as all people of Russia.

If Russia loses the war, Putin will face the concequences (+ many other Kremlins ofc). Russia as a country faces the concequences for keeping the war going on.

If Ukraine loses the war, the country will face even worse consequences. Keeping the war on keeps the Ukrainan alive.

So, not only are the consequences of giving up and keeping on completly different for both countries, it's insane to compare consequences for Putin with the consequences for everyone in Ukraine.

And it's just outright Putin shilling if the final verdict ends with "Ukraine doesn't have that much to lose".

My point is when someone doesnkt care about lives , they have less to lose (Putin doesn't care , for him it's all about his power ) ,so Putin right now has the same stance as the Ukranian president and people have like you said. Ukraine has lives to lose. But for Putin his power is more important than lives. So that's why I think that for Putin is the same thing.

Nobody was comparing consequences , the discussion was about how both sides view it.
And I agree Ukraine lost innocent lives. But Putin lost lives and damaged his own country forever. Ukraine will have support from others countries , russia wont.

And it's just outright Putin shilling if the final verdict ends with "Ukraine doesn't have that much to lose"
No .you just want to take things out of context.
The discussion between those guys wasn't about lives but about perspectives of Putin v Ukraine and who has more reason to fight or give up.

I dont want to continue to fight about this either. I just wanted to say that I agree with him because I dont have any hope that Putin would surrender because he is a narcissist and for him losing is the same as for Ukraine it is to lose lives

Yes, it is believed that if Putin ends up losing it could cost him his life or at least get overthrown. Historcally, whenever a "big strong leader" at least as far as Russian history, if they screwed up or failed at certain things, the results are dire. Putin also isn't on the level of Ivan the Terrible or Joseph Stalin whom were allowed to die in their beds. They were too fearsome while Putin's handling of the Wagner rebellion/coup doesn't sell that fearsome image. Khrushchev was lucky that he was allowed to only get overthrown and retire considering he was involved with the risk of Nuclear War breaking out and caused a national humiliation in the Cuba Missile Crisis. His successor Brezhnev however did propose his assassination.

Putin won't be easily forgiven, if ever, assuming he would still be alive. Putin already faced mulitple assassination attempts and isn't the most popular guy in Russia.

This honestly. When people advocate for just letting Russia win they are advocating for allowing them to commit a genocide. They came to Ukraine at the start of the invasion with mobile crematorium. That was when they planned for it to take a couple of weeks. What do you think they will do to the people of a country who made them look weak and ineffective? This war is a war for the continued existence of the Ukrainians as a people now. They cannot surrender because if they do they will die.
