It's like one page. You asked for an explanation of what's going on. Take it or leave it. Sorry it's not formatted very well I had to type it on the fly at like 3am.
Please, for god's sake log off before you strain something.
less and less bad at how they're doing it over time.
This is actually disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. The Americans murdered a million Iraqis, and in the last few years at least 400,000 Yemenis, plus god knows who else and in what numbers.
How many of those involve not giving in to the aggressor?
How can it be hammered in to your skull that this is not a story book where good guys win by virtue of their righteousness?
This is geopolitics. An empire wants to conquer an outlying resource rich region it has not been able to bring under it's control. It has provoked a small outlying nation to act as a proxy to weaken it's enemy. Ukraine isn't making decisions. They're just ammunition in someone else's war and the best thing for them would be to mutiny against Kiev and end the slaughter. Status quo antebellum is not on the menu.
They might not know it. There hasn't been a lot of particularly complex analysis here and they very well might be operating on the level of "bad news bad, good news good".
Because you have the reading comprehension of a grade schooler and are apparently incapable of handling such complexities as "Just because they're winning doesn't mean we support them" and "everybody in this conflict is an asshole except the non-Nazis soldiers being slaughtered so defense contractors can put in new pools in Arlington".
This isn't some law of attraction thing. Admitting that Ukraine is at best stalemated isn't going to cause them to magically lose.
They know what Bandera did. That's what they like about him. He was cleansing their blessed homeland of whatever the Ukrainian word for sub humans is. They are Nazis. They want to kill everyone who isn't like them, and once they're done they'll start killing each other for being insufficient blond haired and blue eyed.
A lot of people don't really understand how limited NATO is, how badly designed a lot of NATO weapons are, and how long it's been since NATO actually fought a proper war. NATO has this long standing, unearned veneer of invincibility. And now we're seeing NATO equipment used without total, uncontested air support, which is the only thing NATO is really good at and which is the thing that two successive Russian government have been preparing to fight against for 70 years.

Good to know. Thank you for the information.
