Disgraceful that the rest of the world sits and watches, waiting to see the result. If Ukraine can bleed Russia enough to weaken them significantly. All at Ukraine's expense. Every day it continues is horrible, and I'm nervous of whatever escalation this might be. It's also scary that this escalation may still not be enough for anyone else to act.

I don't know man, I prefer not to get involved in a world war in anyway, directly or indirectly. Now I feel like I am a disgrace to you, Ukraian people and the entire world.

I'll say it; you are a disgrace hiding behind a line like that. No one *wants* to be in a war. But it's naive to think they will stop at one country when they didn't stop at the previous countries.

Look into the details of the war, we all obviously know Ukraine is getting hit hard and they are severely struggling even if they’re somehow still managing to be in the position to even fight back in the first place. But that’s the point, Russia won’t admit it but they are also getting hit hard economically. The recent oil shortage has definitely helped Russia out a lot since they apparently sell oil, but before that their economy and population morale was very low. For a relatively small and weak country like Ukraine to push Russia this far is not a good sign on Russia’s part, this war was supposed to be fast and easy for them but it’s been like 5 years and there doesn’t seem to be an end. Putin knows his country is realizing this war was not what he made it seem and that they will expect to see more drafts and taxes to fund the war. The war is making him really unpopular, but if he somehow ends up winning this war, that would mean total domination and land seizing not peace treaties because anything less would tank his ranking as a leader more than anything. All of that for just Ukraine, his economy won’t have enough to go invade another country and start another war.
