Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military operation” into Russian life, that will be a long time.

    You’re in a thread that’s showed you that NATO was a place to give jobs to high ranking Nazis. It’s the world’s most aggressive military alliance that Russia is defending itself from.

      Lmfao “defending itself.” Where’s the Russian military right now pal? I, too, defend my home by attacking my neighbors.

        Are your neighbours putting a nuclear missile in their yard and pointing it at your house, and you’re doing nothing?

          Russia does basically this to the U.S. with its subs and it’s a reality Americans are forced to deal with every day, so yes, Russia is the clear aggressor here.

              Absolutely nothing in this context, yes.

              Grow up. Stop shilling for foreign powers.

                Typical American Exceptionalist, assumes that this forum only has Americans on it. Your chauvinism is blatant.
