Yea, what a POS he is for pretty much admitting this. Not that we didn’t know this already.

Yea, that infuriated me.
Thank you for that. That’s what I suspected but I wanted to make sure
Can anyone explain what “spheres of terra” is?
Exactly. That was so obvious and pissed me off beyond belief.
You're absolutely right. That's why they're surrendering en masse. Because they had no intentions of being involved in any war.
Everyone learns as time goes, Russians AND Ukrainians. Everyone has to adapt their strategies sooner or later. It's the reality of war.
You don't know what their plans are or what they "hoped" for. The truth it, Russia is sending missiles on Kharkhiv from Kursk. If nothing else, making it harder for Russians to shoot onto Ukrainian territory is a win in and of itself.
Russia is using this territory to shoot missiles into Kharkhiv. At the very least, it's creating a "buffer zone" to make it harder to shoot into Ukrainian territory. Believe me, the Ukrainian military knows way more than we do and are at a way better position to make decisions than you and I are.
Experiencing your native country at war changes your perspective on A LOT of things. It makes it easier to understand the wars of the past, and also, puts them in perspective...amongst many many other things. I will consider watching that documentary if there is no actual gore in it, because that's not something I am willing to watch. My relatives are physically ok right now, but they're angry and emotionally drained. It is scary seeing them talk about a recent nearby explosion and making sure everyone is ok.
But yea, it doesn't matter who was "right" or "wrong" prior to war. As soon as you invade, everything prior to that gets overwritten and you're 100% the bad guy, no matter how you justify it.
Absolutely not true for many reasons. One of them being that if they let Russia keep what they occupied, it will give Russia time to regroup and keep going.
Number 2, they’re torturing and killing those who don’t support the Russian regime.
So yea, while “stopping the bloodshed” sounds good in theory (That’s why Trump keeps repeating it), it will only embolden Putin and give him time to strengthen his forces and attack again later. This is appeasement and it doesn’t work.
