They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

Literally people endorsing Russia bombing major cities in Ukraine two seconds ago.

bombing major cities in Ukraine

You mean what's been getting done by the Ukrainian army and defended by liberals like you for the last 8+ years?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Not true, liberals weren't even aware of the civil war for the most part

people endorsing Russian bombings

Again, please don't compare us to Zelensky, that's really fucked up.

Keep blowing Putin, tankie. I've made it clear I don't like Zelensky either, but there's NO justification for waging war anywhere outside of Donbas.

Do you really think Russia could've just invaded the Donbass? Obviously Ukraine would call it an invasion and try to retake it, at which point Russia would advance into Ukrainian territory to repel them. We'd be in the exact same situation, except Russia & the Donbass would be in a worse situation.

Why the hell would Russia bother with any of that?

Or maybe, get this, they could defend the border of Donbas and keep the war within there?

Real warfare isn't a bloody strategy game where you can park your units on some line somewhere as a phalanx to protect 'your land'. You do whatever you can to remove the enemy's ability to attack you and if they're not interested in negotiation, you try to take land / diminish their forces in order to force them to the table.

Your suggestion isn't remotely based in reality.
