ATACMS, F 16s now please. Why not more air defense systems? Give Ukraine the tools to win.

drive a truck, or help cook, or carry boxes or whatever.

(14,708 posts)It's a visible way to create chaos and injure ukranian civilians. Just like the bombing of london was during wwii.
It is meant to punish civilians, which for some reason goes over well with the russian public. That is why they are doing it. They are losing militarily and this distracts the russian people.

(46,913 posts)The atrocities strengthen Putin's hand.
At least in Putin's mind they do.
But yes of course.
Putin is a vicious, dangerous psychopath.
He is a serial killer.
He enjoys killing people.
And yes, he will use the murder of Ukrainians for propaganda purposes.
None of this is new. It is right out of the KGB, Hitler and Stalin handbooks.

(14,708 posts)His logistical systems and troop placements are a hot mess, and he can't protect either without a break in the fighting to reorganize and re-supply.
He doesn't intend to negotiate a lasting peace. Ukraine KNOWS that. Putin as broken every pace deal he has ever agreed to.
Ukraine has the advantage as long as they can keep pressure on russia. That is the ONLY reason putin wants peace talks.
But that is up to the Ukrainians. It is up to us to give them everything they need to protect themselves push russia out of Ukraine.

(14,708 posts)They are continually targeting not just infrastructure, but civilians directly, in soe cases with prohibited munitions.
They are terrorists and murderers. That has nothing to do with military engagements.
