[@hk3339]

Please.... Very bias. NATO will beat Russia, the Russian empirelistic.. bla bla.. Just calling it Ukraine vs. Russia rather than ISA/NATO vs. Russia in Ukraine told me everything. This paper tiger, the offensive organization called NATO, is the rliic of the past and the biggest threat to world peace.

[@mhenkelmann11]

General Kujat has been raising his voice and criticizing what is happening in Ukraine for a long time. So did other Bundeswehr officers. He was the highest-ranking non-US general in NATO. To accuse him of anything biased is absurd. His job was military analysis. However, he has no interest in Germany pursuing its policies through the USA and the Eastern European states at Germany's expense.

[@LúðvíkKaaber]

For NATO, the fact that Ukrane can't win is irrelevant. The purpose of this war is not at all winning, rather it is using Ukraine as a means of waging a war against Russia. Therefore the assertion that NATO must negotiate is not a pragmatic or practical one; it is merely an ethical statement. Ethics have not played much of a role for NATO so far.

[@sequero2747]

Nonsense. How do you explain countries with many different ethical principles coming together? I think NATO just needs time to protect itself against an invasion. That's why Ukraine is the shield in Europe

Your comment is spot on ucraine is only a tool to US/ Nato Hegemony like a hammer to be discardet if it has become usless. Maybe soldiers of other nations could be used then...

[@tommackling]

But on the contrary, I believe it is an entirely pragmatic and practical position. And that because while some psychopaths might be entirely delighted with a nightmare of destruction engulfing Europe and possibly nearly the entire world, in a completely unwinnable world war 3, this disaster would not be advantageous to the non- human life hating psychopaths (to the ordinary people, who appreciate their opportunity to live). It is entirely necessary for pragmatic and practical reasons, to prevent the conflict escalating into a larger conflict. Cheers, peace and love

Ukranians treating civilians with care???? Sure, when they shell Dombas, when they send drones to Russia, their targets are military - total BS!!!

[@LanaLender]

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are engaged in terrorizing the civilian population, both before and now. Thanks to the Russian air defense, not everything was affected. Therefore, there may be few victims. But Russia could do the same, it has the opportunity, but it will not do it. So the small number of victims among the civilian population of Ukraine is precisely pity for the population, and not the merit of the Ukrainian defense, which even places military equipment under the windows of residential buildings without evacuating the population (there are many videos, in one they filmed a tank standing right under the apartment window), therefore Ukraine does not spare even its own civilians residents and hides behind their backs.

[@uchennaabosi7651]

Those are not Ukraine, they are the very same people that leveled civilian population in Dresden, Hamburg & Japan. Their military doctrine makes no distinction between military & civilians as we can see in Gaza.

President Putin's career in the KGB of the Soviet Union taught him that the Soviet Union was a Russian empire run at a financial and cultural loss for Russia. He has learned his lesson, demonstrated in Ukraine where Russia is not doing anything but securing the areas of Russian speakers, who were massacred from the day of the US instigated colour revolution. The only basis we have for fearing a Russian expansionist policy is our western media ,which used to serve us well as the fourth estate. Now the media have become 100% corrupted, and not only the citizens but also the politicians relate to the "news" from the media as if they were true, but in effect only amount to economic and political power. The former free world has become a tyranny of opinions and it is heading for the total destruction of humanity.

I saw a conference by this German general on another KZbin channel and I was really worried. I imagined that NATO was full of racist maniacs who absolutely hate Russia, because this is a predictable toxic mixture originating from the anti-Soviet and even Nazi legacy that characterized the mentality of this military organization since it was created and throughout the Cold War. But I became really alarmed by the total lack of responsibility and care of today's NATO commanders when I realized that they would actually rather see their world incinerated and devastated by nuclear bombs just so they can say from a bunker that Russia was also crippled and destroyed by Western atomic bombs. This is far more insane than the balance of terror guaranteed by mutually assured destruction. This is a guarantee of unnecessary mutual destruction because of the insanity of NATO's claim to absorb Nazi Ukraine.

Ukraine is conducting speculative fire on populated urban centres and has done so since 2014. This is not 'restraint' it is simply unreported. Ukraine are known to expend critical munitions such as HIMARS, even in dire shortages, on this sort of attack. The vast majority of Donbass attacks and all the Belgorod attacks using artillery of this type. This is not unrestrained. Both sides are conducting a primary political war: the RF is narrowly keeping within its stated war goals of protecting Donbass (after it's failed attempt to 'bounce' the Ukrainians to peace negotiations) and conducting a limited war* with clear exit plans. The Ukrainians are fighting an ideological war against Russians and this dovetails neatly with US desires. *This ideological war is in no way restrained* *This is why all western reports universally say 'all-out attack' when describing Russian military operations; they don't want these limited goals recognised.

The former general wants negotiations with Russia just to avoid being defeated by Russia without solving the Russian concerns about its natoonal security. Therefore Russia will never accept negotiations that do not take account of Russia national security concerns.

[@louise_rose]

The key question of course is: where do you place the new borders between Ukra and Ru? What kind of border should the negotiations be about? The political leaders of various NATO/EU countries, headed by the USA, have effectively chained themselves to the mainmast with the idea that total restoration of Ukraine's pre-2014 borders, massive war damages and in blanco acceptance of moral and legal guilt from Russia is the ONLY way to go. This has been proclaimed as sacred, writ, over and over again, and as a NATO general you probably can't question it in public., even though it's clearly unrealistic. Someone needs to tell Kiev that "Sorry man, you're not going to get your massive Bonanza Win - peace in this war is a matter of Ukrainian survival, and Russia will get to decide much of the conditions" but so far nobody in the inner circle on the EU/NATO side has had the stomach to say that in public.
