    Which is why this is interesting. Evacuating millions takes an inordinate amount of time the Ruskies don't have, so eventually they'll just bomb civilians anyways.

    They can keep saying "we'll be there as long as it takes, yada yada yada", but nobody is buying it (well, except Pabl Escbar).

    Logistically they don't have the equipment, supplies or troop morale to withstand a prolonged invasion with their economy getting battered more and more the longer this lasts.
    They've demonstrated in previous wars they don't actually care if everyone evacuates, they just have to check they "we gave them a chance" box.

    You must think in Russian

    Might as well get used to your straw men and plan accordingly.
    You only want to identify as brave while eating your popcorn

    Why not? The only hurry they're in is if they obeyed State run media CNN/FOX/US. intel and the hurry they purported for Putin on day 1. It never existed in reality.
    Because the only thing they can count on is having gas. Russia produces very little outside of that. Every bomb they drop they need to manufacture again, with materials they have to import and can't. Same with tanks, choppers, all the 'modernized' they put together.

    Then there's food, which doesn't just apply to troops, but also the Russian population at large. And if this is going long, troop housing, maintaining commands, etc. Wars ain't cheap nor a walk in the park, especially if your own economy is tanking.

    Remember Victor Charlie, or more recently Afghanistan (both Russia and the US) for examples of why long invasions don't pay off.

    Chinese doing their part

    BEIJING, March 3 (Reuters) - A Russian-run online store on Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com thanked Chinese shoppers for their support after it sold out of most items including chocolate and fabric softener, saying it showed the country’s friendship in “difficult” times.

    Now you're just babbling.

    I said nothing about my being personally brave. You have plainly stated you are not.

    You need to find some backup on TexAgs. Maybe they can help you make logical sense someday.

    Exactly, that's why nobody takes Lavrov seriously.

    You left out the last part of that news:

    But there were also some online shows of support for Ukrainian goods. One customer of chocolate made by Ukrainian confectionary firm Roshen, left a comment urging support for Ukraine. “The Ukrainians will win!”

    Had they not invaded Ukraine they wouldn't have to be distributing food to Ukrainians.

    Besides, you think they're all Nazis and deserve to die.

    Pick a lane.

    I want the people of Ukraine to decide what to do themselves.

    You want them to unconditionally surrender as you said you would in the same cir stances.

    You can't project your cowardice on an entire nation.

    You long to be dominated -- not everyone else does.

    Just helping out our brosky

    Your national police chief is neonazi, your interior minitry spokesman is neonazi, your interior ministry advisor is neonazi. All self proclaimed

    So what if zelensky is jew?
    Russia is loaded with Neo Nazis as well.
    So what if Zelensky is a jew... oh, I see no problem at all... seriously?
    You are so naive to think a newly elected president is all of the sudden going to turn around the history of Ukraine. Thats just stupid.
    Zelensky is not a Russian stooge, and he is NOT a neo Nazi. But he has to work with both groups of extremists. He cant just kill them like Putin.

    You have no clue as to how many neo nazi groups their are in Eastern Europe. even in Western Europe the presence is worrying.
    Defending Russia by pointing at Ukraine shortcomings is just stupid. This is NOT why Putin invaded. Putin's own country is worse on BOTH counts, he just has control over them. He uses them when he needs them, he offs them if they cause him problems.

    You continue to give horrid information and continue to exhibit a total lack of understanding.
    And then you get upset when I call you names... You are such a fake.

    He is taking the no deaths line like hater.
    Only hater then roots on Syria to gas his people, and Putin to kill his political rivals.
    A lot of Ukrainians are going to die either way. You can choose to die while defending your country.

    I think Russia is entering a phase where they are tired of using people; Russia can easily bomb and missile cities to soften them up and then move in. As the destruction becomes more random, hopefully the rest of the world cracks down even further and maybe causes Putin into talking seriously. I hope.
    Who knows.

    Sberbank Europe Unravels After Russia Sanctions Cause Bank Run

    (Bloomberg) -- Europe is carving up Sberbank of Russia PJSC’s business in the region after sanctions sparked by President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine prompted a run on its local deposits.

    Austria-based Sberbank Europe AG will be liquidated under local insolvency procedures while all shares in its Croatian and Slovenian subsidiaries will be transferred to other firms in those countries, according to the Single Resolution Board, which handles failing European lenders. Shares in the parent company listed in London were down 90% on Wednesday, with Russian stock trading remaining closed.

    The U.S. and European Union are ramping up measures against Russia by blocking some of the nation’s banks from various parts of the global financial system. Already last week, the U.S. said it was sanctioning five of Russia’s largest lenders, including Sberbank and VTB Bank PJSC. While Sberbank in Europe accounts for only a fraction of the lender’s overall business, its shuttering is a further blow to Russia.

    “I think it’s fair to say that it was a bank run that was really triggered by the heightened geopolitical risk and the sanctions kicking in,” Elke Koenig, who leads the SRB, told reporters on Wednesday. “It’s not an insolvency due to negative equity, it’s an insolvency due to lack of liquidity.”

    You want them to choose death in a fight they can't win, you don't want the West to intervene in a way that could actually have them win (too risky )

    It's a sickness

    Of which a significant number are neo nazis. Even though Hitler pronounced Slavs as dogs in WWII after turning on Russia and the Soviet Union who was all in with the Nazis before they got invaded BY THE NAZIs.
