“Russia has unleashed senseless destruction and genocidal violence on Ukraine in an attempt to reoccupy the former colony”. It’s not senseless since they have explained the reasons at length, albeit their adversaries refused to listen. And it’s not genocidal either since the goal is not to exterminate Ukrainian people. The goal is to prevent a NATO giant air carrier on its borders. The war will continue until those that don’t want to listen will start listening. Perhaps war must come to their countries for them to do so.

> The goal is to prevent a NATO giant air carrier on its borders.

If their goal is to prevent Germany, Poland, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Alaska from existing and being (part of, in the last case) NATO members, well, invading Ukraine seems a rather improbable route to achieving that.

All they’ve managed so far is to make that worse by adding Finland to the mix, and increasing NATO deployments to the existing eastern flank members, and increasing defense expenditures across NATO.

Ah yes the Russians are telling the truth this time guys, I promise, they are totally not lying about why they are invading Ukraine.

Finland joining NATO kinda makes this a reality no?.

> The war will continue until those that don’t want to listen will start listening.

This 3 day war has already lasted over a year, and with losses so high by Russia that they are fielding T62's against Ukraine.

I don't think Russia can afford to wage this war for many more years, unless they start fielding those parade T34's but I don't think that will go so well.

Also why should anyone listen to Russia? there border with NATO just increased massively, and yet I don't see them doing anything about that.

> Perhaps war must come to their countries for them to do so.

Perhaps Russia should focus on trying to capture a city thats 250KM from their border before they threaten countries they aren't literally on their doorstep with war.
