More like another Afghanistan, like the one the broke the USSR.
Except Russia has already lost ten times as many troops in a fifth of the time.

Weird to see a non-biased post about this conflict with a respectable news source on Lemmy.
What do you mean specifically when you say “the media”?
Yes I think you’re right about the Kremlin’s approach: they exacerbate weaknesses that are already there.
They understand Kremlin oppression.
Yes fair enough
Should have happened 6 months ago
If someone invaded your country and started murdering people you’d want to win the war.
divide and conquer
Bingo. I wish more people would see this, it’s shameful how badly democracies around the world have been caught with their pants down.
Authoritarian governments have a huge advantage when it comes to malicious propaganda. So much less oversight.
Yeah, I think other factors help them do it. A lot of their propaganda is designed to support political extremes that already exist.
Overblown based on what? Seems to me most people aren’t even aware it happened, and it was close enough that it likely determined the outcome.
Would you volunteer to go fight the Nazis?
I don’t think volunteer armies would have stopped Hitler, or many other conquering forces. Mutual defense is a critical part of society.
So they should have just let Hitler murder his way across Europe and then continue his way into the rest of the world?
I support Gaza being freed but I’m getting tired of this blatant propaganda.
You must work for the Kremlin.
I want one that shows the environmental impact of the product.
Putin and his asshole authoritarian allies are challenging US/EU global leadership. They need an “enemy” so their people don’t realize they are the enemy.
Torturing a woman because she didn’t dress how they told her too. Disgusting.
Also, not surprising coming from Kremlin allies.
I like NYT… and this isn’t surprising or acceptable.
Circling the wagons can be great for defense, and when that’s defense of genocide it’s deeply shameful.
I think this is too nuanced for lemmy.ml to handle, they prefer black and white
