    It took Russia and the USA some time to realize they could not win in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

    The natives of Afghanistan and Vietnamese eventually overcame the imperialist invaders.

    The natives of Ukraine should do the same. The USSR and the DPRK nobly supported the Vietnamese when they were invaded. The west should do the same for Ukraine.

    We should not blame the sufferings of war on native peoples defending their homeland from imperialists.

    We should blame the sufferings of war solely on the imperialist invaders. In this case, that means Russia.

      That is what i meant yes. Last i checked Zelinsky isn’t hoping to one day rule the continent/world as an emperor. There defending, its Putin that is on a conquest to expand an empire. The blood of both sides is on his hands.

      It is my feeling that russia will collapse itself trying to win
      precisely because Ukraine receives intel and support right now, doing things much more efficiently then Russia mismanagement ever could.

      I could be wrong but my expectation is that in 4 years Putin wont even be in charge anymore.

      These planes are like the stereotypical cavalerie. Effective war machine? Yes. But always comes to late when the battle is over.

        Fair. You should change Emperors to Emperor then. That way it looks less “both sides”y.
