Maybe it was stray anti-aircraft fire that missed the target landed elsewhere. So you are saying, that we shouldn't blame Russia, because, ya, maybe they fired more missiles at a nation they have invaded, but its Ukraine's fault because of their defensive missiles? And you want to give Putin the benefit of the doubt? Why?

I don't think Ukraine is as inept as Russia but I suspect a small percentage of these types of reports were friendly fire, like that strike that wound up in Poland. Of course it's still Russias fault because UK wouldn't be firing them at all had they not been invaded.

Everyone not trying to be contrarion, a conspiracy theorist, or a Russian stooge, take your pick, knew this began under false pretenses. They should not be there.

But when they do stupid ***** like assaulting officers and breaking into the Capitol that they and they alone should be the ones to suffer the consequences. Edited June 27, 2023 by Doc 2

Do you acknowledge there was armed conflict between ethnic Ukrainian militias and Russian seperatists in Donbas beginning in 2014 until the invasion? Resulting in about 10,000 deaths.

It was funded and incited by Vlad. He's seen Ukraine as the next ripe fruit for plucking from the former Ussr tree for some time. He should have gone with Moldova but there's not much value there.

What's the policy response, throw in the towel or send in the troops? Even if you disagree with my conclusions about the potential to "lose" the war, any experienced military planner is going to require it of themselves to game out, foresee, and plan for all contingencies. Winning, losing, a stalemate, a negotiated settlement, etc. Like a good football coach you need a solid game plan to address all sorts of contingencies and situations you expect to encounter on the field.

I'm sure there are contingencies for everything. People seem upset there's no plan. There is. They just aren't going to tell us every detail. That's ok in situations like this. While I like transparency our interests are put at risk if we give away our gameplan.

This is just my personal opinion, but based Intel I’ve seen in the past There will eventually be a line drawn in the sand and lions will be redrawn like they were in the past, possibly with Russia, gaining some ground Then Ukraine will take up a defensive posture like they had in the past, and will start to rebuild We will continue to find them with defensive weapons because that’s what’s good for the military industrial complex, and we want Ukraine to be our voice in the region 1
