The Brink of War?

The battle for Kiev hasn't even started yet, so it's hardly going to be over in a few weeks.

Not to mention the fierce insurgency Russian troops will face for years to come once this initial battle is over. Ask the US about Iraq, insurgencies aint' cheap either.

"Battle for Kiev" ??? Matt, it is main mistake what Pentagon made in predicting of how this operation will developed. Look on the map: all big cities - capitals of provinces - what are already besides "Russian line" aren't touched - they are circled by army and left behind. Nobody want to be pulled into city fights. Each city has humanitarian corridor for to leave it, but without weapon. Who wants "battle for Kiev"?

Without resources and with cutted supply lines, destiny of current Ukrainian govt is clear within these cities. Unless NATO will send next 50 ton of diesel to Lviv for to feed electro generation.

Third round or Russian-Ukrainian peace talk has been planned to March 7, but Ukraine already asking for to talk today.

Thinking this will be over in a few weeks is about as delusional as Bush and his cronies were when they invaded Iraq. They were also quite confused as to why the Iraqis weren't greeting them as liberators too.

Bush had no 30-40% population of 8-years discriminated Americans in each city in Iraq.

Ummm.... little late I think. There's fighting in cities all over the country.

Yeah. Results of freely distributed AK-47. Now Ukrainian army fights not only with Russian army outside of cities, but with bandits, criminals, nationalists and some Ukrainian Russians inside the cities.

Yesterday Ukrainian army even fired tactical rocket to Ukrainian Nazi's battalion Azov's control center in Mariupol for to calm them.

No, that's not how life works... if I walk into a bank with a shotgun, then shoot someone who pulls a gun on me, I can't say "I was just defending myself from that maniac who pulled a gun on me".

Yeah. Life is more simple: Saudi Aramco just announced rising oil prices in April.

Great, now industry and government alike will finally maybe get off their ass and do something about climate change, because mother nature is pissed.

Hell, times of war generally see huge technological advancements, so let's see what happens. Won't you be sad if we crack fusion in the next few years. Some researchers in the UK had a huge breakthrough in fusion just a couple months ago.

They announces that every time when their grants are empty.

Didn't know this before, but apparently all those neo nazis that Putin is saving Ukraine from were 2% of the vote in 2019.

According to Putin though, they've hijacked the entire country and the true Ukrainians need to be saved from them via invasion.
