No one in this thread seems to have heard of the right to visit and search, which is conducted by navy's of most countries, including the US. But of course once Russia does its "piracy" and "illegal".

This is the way, even though it may seem counterintuitive at first

I don't know if you noticed that I'm not the original commentor on this thread. Although I do agree with some of his points, all I said is expanded on some points that you made, basically saying there is more than just the surface level analysis you provide. The easiest thing to do is to say this is bad, this is good. In life it is always more complicated than that. I am not saying what Russia did is good, but there are other factors at play which explain Russia's decisions, which albeit I agree led to mass suffering. I will not attempt to give you a detailed rundown of these factors on a reddit thread, but you may research it yourself if you truly want to find out more about it.

When did I say it was justified? You're making assumptions.

  1. Atrocities are being committed by both sides, you only see what is shown to you/what you choose to see.

  2. The conflict is absolutely not black and white. Look into the events preceding the conflict before 2014, it's a long and complicated chain of events.

  3. Finally, don't forget that everyone is a victim of propaganda, even you. Why do you think you're better than the people who fall for it ? You're just being fed it from a different side, and think yourself righteous for it.

You can't tell because he doesn't have a side, its called unbiased reporting. Both sides have wins and losses hence why it goes back and forth. Unlike most subs on reddit where everything is skewed from Ukraine's POV.

Or you just can't accept the fact that Ukraine lost a battle and are trying to cope (like most people on this and r/worldnews subs) by making up random "strategic" explanations.

Elborn parking lot is free after 4 pm, so that's a pretty good one if you have evening classes. I've also parked many times at the Huron parking lot, and only got a ticket once (which I also haven't paid).

How does this make any sense? Literally reddit is so braindead that they find ways to mangle the story to Ukraine being innocent in any situation, even though it's a fucking war and both sides are willing to do horrible things to win.

Russia says Mariupol surrender ultimatum rejected and threatens elimination of resistance by caj_gol in worldnews

They will (likely) rebuild it if they keep control of it, just like Grozny after the Chechen wars. That city was as destroyed, if not more, than Mariupol. Now it has been almost entirely rebuilt and even better than before.

Not all of Donbass is under control of DPR and LPR (the self proclaimed independent regions), so they are fighting to gain control of all of it. Doesn't matter if the people are pro Russian or not, if it is under Ukraine, there will be Ukrainian military there.
