Why do I have to pick a side?
It's called being a consistent person rather than a troll. But trolls are ok if they're strong debators and good trolls. That's certainly not you.
In every forum there are opposing predominant ideas. It is not possible for everyone to be always right or wrong. In reality, there are right and wrong points on all sides.
Except I find you here making the wrong points, such as Russia not using missiles or it being the same as Hezbollah/Iran against a Ukrainian Israel. That is definitely the wrong point.
It is a colossal stupidity to form an opinion following the herd and not being able to filter what is fact or simple propagated belief.
By picking SDF while living in the West, that is already NOT following the herd. That you propogate this to mean that you can't be mainstream in any group essentially means being a loner with an unstable opinion.
In American and Brazilian forums I have presented arguments similar to yours to contest the narrative of Ukrainian victory. Some politely disagreed, others went downhill like you with personal attacks. It's life.
That's being a troll. You present my arguments to other people and present theirs to me? Are you able to debate with your own opinion or are you just a telephone?
In these forums the majority are bovinely pro-Ukraine and believe that Ukraine is winning, you would be made a laughingstock in them.
That's you right here. I'm arguing against you, apparently presenting their opinions, except I haven't seen a single thing to explain how Russia can be grabbing land while losing.
Here, the majority are moderately pro-Russian and politely accept independent opinions,
They accept some, as do I, but not yours, seeing has how everyone argues against you or laughs at your posts.
except for you who always resort to personal attacks when you disagree with someone,
No, not always. It's only when the debate gets to a level so stupid that it's apparent one side can't even read or respond on point.
curiously looking like the Ukrainian fans with the opposite orientation.
Except I present facts to support what I say while the "opposite orientation" just calls them "long text" and "absurd."
Logic, you mean
If I just wanted to get likes and be accepted I would repeat the predominant ideas in each forum
If conformation to the standards is not your thing, then don't accuse me of dropping the standards when they agree much more with me than you.
, but I only use forums to inform myself independently
Then just read
and that's why I occasionally just present a counterpoint to what is just a cope.
Except you presented it confidently as if it were the truth, and then it gets destroyed by facts.
Only you resembled the Ukrainian fans here, however.
Did they present facts? I'm not seeing any of them. If you cannot come up with your own original arguments, can you at least be a competent telephone so I can argue against whatever supporting evidence they wish to present? Or are they really just stuck at "long text=absurd?"
No. I just pointed out Russia's contradictory policy in this war. Putin has repeatedly said that he would attack decision-making centers if Ukraine and the West crossed the red lines that Putin himself drew, but whenever the West ignored Russian red lines, Putin never kept his words and there were never attacks on decision-making centers in Ukraine.
I will accept this observation, but it is amidst a backdrop of Russians slowing winning the war, increasing their territory and grinding down the enemies both in personel and in resources, so ultimately, the observation is a detail.
This is the lack of deterrence and posturing that I criticized. If Russia really wants to win, it will have to keep its word. Or yes, the war will end in a stalemate.
Or much more likely a slow Russian victory as it looks now. You don't know.
Russia has full capacity to do to Ukraine what Israel did to Syria and Lebanon, but for some reason Russia stops keeping their word and loses deterrence
That is your assumption. Like I said, the war is not easy as Ukraine is well-armed and heavily allied. Despite that, Russia is winning. And even if your assumption were correct, the reasons mentioned prior explain why Russia may withhold its full power. Either way, Russia is in control. It is opposite to your narrative (or your copied narrative) that Russia is like Hezbollah/Iran losing everything to Israel while getting all their leaders killed.
Depends on who from. From simple-minded people who only respect those who kill and kill without reservation, maybe. From those who understand complexities, we respect Russia all the same for standing against all of America's henchmen at once, winning, using it as an oppertunity to better itself and furthering the strategic interests of the Sino-Russian alliance at the same time.
Losing a general in their own capital is serious
Anything is "serious." America having a mini-aircraft carrier burn down in San Diego is serious; doesn't mean that the USN is no longer respected.
and only happened due to incompetence and
They need to improve, as we all do.
loss of respect from the enemy with impunity.
I think you are too obsessed with earning respect, particularly that of your enemies. Enemies are for killing, not for impressing. Ukraine's military population is getting decimated and Russia is taking their land. They don't respect Russia? It's funny LOLOL
