Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Except Redditors, they believe Russia is being liberated by Ukraine tommorow
Wut? When “liberation” of Russia became Ukraine’s goal? People really say this? Ukraine shall not follow Russia’s book and make imaginary excuses to intervene into other country. I mean, after Russia capitulate of course. At the moment Ukraine can do whatever needed to liberate its territories. Though, having Russian regiments to overthrow regime could increase Ukraine’s security. But I believe Ukraine will have much more important job in Ukraine itself after war.
Generally, one needs 3 times the enemy's strength to take territory. This means that the minimum army you need to take territory is nearly 10 times the size of the army you need to hold it. The current Ukraine army is not even up to the task of holding territory.
What if Russia doesn't capitulate
I’ll assume this is a legitimate question and not “clever whataboutism”.
Answering your question now. Realistically there are 3 scenarios:
Two of them sucks for Ukraine and last one is too unpredictable for whole region if not world
No lol I was just overexaggerating, though it wouldn't surprise me that much at this point
