Ukraine City Braces for Possible Russian Invasion | NYT News

Flanked by rebel combatants and Russian forces to the east and Russian ships to the south, Mariupol is one place where President Vladimir Putin’s forces could attack first, or stage a provocation. We speak to residents and soldiers on the front line in this Ukrainian city.

@Yousif Messi Who knows where he is from but presuming that you are assuming that he is American: America is at peace because it has an extremely old and stable government that, even when it flexes, doesn't break (so far). It also helps that America only has two neighbors. As for the resources thing, the USA actually has the second most natural resources in the world after Russia (or much lower, it depends on how you measure it, but they have a lot regardless).It's wars abroad cost far more than they earn. In short, America is slightly poorer because of its wars abroad. Where you are correct is that the US military and political goal for over a hundred years, is to keep markets open. The USA is obligated to defend countries in the event of war. Their total population is almost 2 billion people. America has troops across the globe spending billions per year for the defense of other. However free trade helps everyone and makes everyone rich. Extreme poverty is ten percent of what it has been in the past in large part because of free trade.

Russia is building up weapons only for defense, amid fears. It turns out the Mexican duel. But the US has its own interests against Russia, and this explains everything.

@Tony Soprano Here is my response to your reply- 1) Yes, I’m talking about the UN Charter. Specifically Article 2 sections 3 and 4. Do you not understand what those sections say? Allow me to quote: “3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. 4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.” This means after World War II a country can’t just illegally invade another country in order to change its borders or invaded sovereignty, etc. 2) As for your second point on America and stealing Syrian oil, this is a classic fallacious argument where you are changing the subject. I am not doubting nor am I making any claims that America hasn’t done things that we should criticize. For example, the USA illegally invaded Iraq under false pretense under the George W. Bush years. I could go on with other examples however none of this relates to Russia illegally invading and annexing Crimea or Russia illegally invading eastern Ukraine. Again, by you changing subject with America stealing Syrian oil you’re attempting to change the subject. This is a classic fallacious argument. 3) As for the referendum in Crimea, it doesn’t matter if people who lived in Crimea who identify as Russian wanted Russia to invade and annex a territory from Ukraine. This is a moot point. I’m sure every country has people who live in it who identify with another country and don’t like the current regime. This is another fallacious argument. 4) Who cares that Russia had a naval base in Crimea. This does not give Russia any right to illegally invade and annex a sovereign country’s territory. For example, America has a military base in Guantánamo Bay Cuba. Does that give America the right to illegally invade and take over entire Cuba island? Of course not. And I’m American. If you were Russian you should feel the same way about Crimea and should believe Ukraine has the right to keep its sovereign territory. 5) As for the last point, who cares 17% of Ukrainians have Russian passports. Why would you think that’s appropriate reason for Russia to illegally invade eastern Ukraine and do so with soldiers that had no identification which is against the Geneva Convention. Peter Griffin said it best… If 1 million Canadians held dual passports of Canada and America, does that mean America should invade part of Canada? Does it mean the USA should invade all of Canada? Of course not. Don’t be naïve and stupid. I guess I just don’t understand why you feel the need to back up Russia after they illegally invaded and annexed Crimea and illegally invaded eastern Ukraine. Why would you want them to invade the rest of Ukraine? Russia is already the largest country by land mass in the world. It does not need more territory. NATO is a defensive military organization that only exists because Russian military aggression and expansion. If you were the leader of Ukraine, wouldn’t you want to potentially join NATO because of your fear that the rest of your country would be invaded by a hostile country?

[@totalwar3128]

I love how they are saying possible Russian invasion as if they have not already invaded and took some parts of Ukraine...

[@lonerider5933]

If Russia's goal was to invade Ukraine they would have done so openly back in 2014. Back then the Ukrainian army wasn't even there. They would have use aviation massive tank assaults and fast war tactics and wouldn't take long to take Kyiv. And even before that they could send a helping hand to Yanukovich while he was still president. I don't see the point of doing something a decade later when most Ukrainians don't even like Russia when back in 2013 most Ukrainians thought Russia was a brotherly nation. Nowadays Ukrainian patriotism is way stronger than back then and an invasion wouldn't even go that well

[@lonerider5933]

From a military point of view just taking Crimea and supporting separatists is a much worse strategy than just openly annexing or declaring independence of the Russian speaking part of the country when there were pro-Russian protest in all the Southeast states in 2014

[@user-gt2ug8hr5c]

Since I’m Russian, I can spell out to everyone why a fully-fledged incursion won’t take place. The first reason is obvious: economic stability-Russia has learned the hard way what sanctions mean for the economy; they’ve proven to be quite debilitating for economic growth, which spurred discontent among the most vulnerable. The second reason is that gaining new territories proved to have only a transient positive effect on ratings; while, in general, the silo-minded population loves these stories about “new property acquisition”, they tend to quickly realise that this new property requires maintenance, and they’re paying for it from their pockets. And the third and final reason is a Chechen war memory; The incursion would take a heavy toll on military personnel, and it would ignite already existing tinder-dry discontent among the population. So, in my opinion, these claims of impending war are not only dubious at best but also absolutely groundless.

[@keegs470]

While I agree with what you said, saying an invasion is "dubious" and "groundless" is inaccurate. Invading Crimea, fueling a civil war, 100,000+ troops on the border with field hospitals and logical support in place. While I don't believe an invasion will happen (again) its certainly not "groundless"

[@kochamboga3230]
