Russia Ukraine war, page-233675

well I can't support it (much) .....whereas you can't support ypur point at all

but there is no indication that any country had prior knowledge - including russia .....I invite you to produce any evidence of such
the mass of troops was small , a little raid no big deal and it was started with the free russians ...had been done before , there was precedent

we also know US puts restrictions on Ukraine so as not to "push russia over the edge"
would seem inconsistant for the US to embrace a full on attack on russ soil ....it IS I admit , pushing things
Burt Ukraine do need to take chances .....also need to do the unexpected *

but your point has a degree of validity and I'm prepared to call a ceasefire on this point oif you are agreeable

* any reasonable person would need to give Ukraine great credit for the way they have prosecuted this war very much against the odds
