\\I think you missed the point. That was a term used to describe the Cold War. The Cold War is Over.
You really have NO experience of street brawls. No. It is not end... till someone die. And even that, it only mean that someone another will be a new target.
\\That you provoked a hot war is NMP.
What the problem? Go givup Ukraine to RFia. Then Taiwan to China. ... Then Europe to New Russian Empire. And Pacific to New Chinese Empire. ... Then go crawl back into your cave, and die here quitly.
Life it's a Fight. That because of a joke of Evolution that you are living in a time/zone with a mild environment. Closed from outer disastres and dangers.
But.

A large group of Russian soldiers on the outskirts of the village is moving along the road, when suddenly a voice is heard behind a small hill: "One Ukrainian soldier is better than 10 Russians!" The Russian commander orders his best 10 fighters to go behind this hill, where a firefight begins, lasts for several minutes, and silence ensues. A voice is heard again: "One Ukrainian soldier is better than 100 Russians!". The Russian commander furiously sends 100 more of his best soldiers. Shooting again, after 10 minutes of silence. A calm Ukrainian exclaims again: "One Ukrainian is better than 1,000 Russian soldiers!" The Russian commander in a frenzy sends 1,000 of his soldiers over the hill. You can hear the sounds of battle, grenades, shooting. Silence. In the end, one seriously wounded Russian man crawls out from behind the hill and pleads with his dying commander: “Don't send anyone else there. This is a trap. There are two of them...
You keep using such missives, like: "That you provoked a hot war is NMP"
That make it look like you think that you are talking with Zelensky... who for somereason decided to come as anon in your blog. ;-P
Well, even Zelensky is not one who "provoked a hot war". He is the same victim as anybpdy else in whole world. That was Putin's desire to have "little victorious war"... to help to patch up his leaking internal politics. Him and him alone started it. And him and him alone ARE ONE who can stop it anytime, still.
So, maybe you think that this losy miserly anon -- is a Putin itself??? :-)))))
\\Ukraine shelled no one in the Donbass before 2/24/22? Who knew?
Well. Russian Propaganda. From 2014 and till today. Each day. Day to day. Keep claiming that "Ukraine Bombing Donbass". "For 8 years." Well, you can check it yourself -- just open Google Maps and go through that region, and in different periods of time. While keeping the map with frontline in mind. That should be TOO DAMN OBVIOUS -- from which side WHAT destruction levels are.
And in the last year. They keep telling that "nasty Ukrainians" dropping 5-6 precious, hard earned 155 mm rounds... at some random places of Donetsk city.
FOR WHAT??? What military reason could be dewised to explain it?
Well... Russian Propaganda saying that that is to keep "people of Donbass" scared... but, WHO exactly have reasons to scary "people of Donbass" that way? What is YOUR opinion?
The OSCE monitored the shelling on each side. Just go to their website and look at the maps. Most of the explosions seem to have been on the breakaway republic side (meaning they were shelled by the Ukrainians).
Do you mean that occupant and agressor COULD not fire at own side... if he want to provoce a war. As Hitler did, as Stalion did.
In Donetsk region, between the evenings of 18 and 20 February, the SMM recorded 2,158 ceasefire violations, including 1,100 explosions (144 outgoing, 19 airbursts, 37 impacts and 900 undetermined).
Please, explain to me. What that "outgoing" means??? Maybe I am unproficient enough in English language. Do not understand meaning of words. And "outgoing" means "nasty-nasty-wrong Ukrainans firing mega-tons at peaceful-fluffy-sweet agg... ah, such an innocent invaders"??? :-)))

You are under influance of Putin's Propaganda narrative.
That's why you cannot discern facts (like that, that that OSCE reported "explosions" -- they NOT mean "Ukrainians fired to"... proper hits they call "impacts" or even "craters"... only when they allowed to come closer... while THAT/Russian side allow em to do rarely) from dust and fumes of propaganda.
I hate to tell you this, but American Support for Ukraine is fading fast... you may have the American elites on board, but the regular/ working people aren't buying it.
You keep saying that... without giving much meat, for me to dent my teeth in it.

Well, you can try to cut it through... but Kairos... he'd be furious. And will use hat his knife... to cut something very important (well, for a man, meh) from you.
I'm sure that you meant to say "inept at it" (leadership). People don't like to get blindsided and dragged into wars with nuclear armed opponents. Call us "fickle" that way.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu - The Internet Classics Archive classics.mit.edu › Tzu › artwar Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. 2. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin.
"Russia has more troops than Ukraine," said a second senior European diplomat. "Ukrainian troops are very brave, but they are already fighting more than a week."
War is the practice of immorality... of trying to impose your will upon others.
"War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over."
-William Tecumseh Sherman
"If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking."
-William Tecumseh Sherman
"This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war."
-William Tecumseh Sherman
"My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom."
War is immoral. "Just War Theory" is a theory that tells you when you should stop being moral.. a rule for breaking the rules.
I don't cheer for Russia. I simply state the kindest thing that can happen, Russia does something so shocking and so damaging to Ukraine that they surrender. Less Ukrainians will die that way. My sentiment is the equivalent of shooting my horse to save it from un-necessary and prolonged pain, in the long run. Ukraine cannot win w/o dragging the US/NATO into the war. And the US military is too stupid to win WWIII. It will result in a nuclear catastophe for the world.
\\War is immoral. "Just War Theory" is a theory that tells you when you should stop being moral.. a rule for breaking the rules.
Yep. "All of the time". As being opportunists is the best tactic. ALWAYS. At least, it would be, if there'd be no people with memory. And severe(?) punishment for lyars and trespassers.

Uvalde Syndrome, remember?
I stated it the first time I came here, isn't it? Just WHAT would happen, IF russians attack on Ukraine would be "in accordance with plan -- three days and in Kiev"???
NATO would be THE NEXT target. First Balitic countries. Some rebels and separatists would come into Latuia, Lithuania and Estonia... across Belorus border... and from Kaliningrad/Kenigsberg. What your, USA response would be? But we know it, yes? Then. All around Europe politicans killing and riots would start. With entering of all kinds of "saviors of nation", ready to give keys to all towns. What your, USA response would be? But we know it, yes? Then. Same would be tryed on your turf. In your heartland. And there'd be lots of that who would glad to say "Hail, Putin" the same as there WAS many of that who was saying "Hail, Hitler".
Philip Dick, "Man in High Castle"... if I recall it correctly.
Only instead of Germans and Japanese. That would be Russians and Chinese.
It was his plan... attract foreign fighters to jihad to unify the ummah... lure the "Far Satan" near, and use it to train his forces... all 2nd sons w/o inheritance who needed land and war brides to make Islam great again.
Not, as Machiavelli would disdain, foreign "mercenaries"... but men with a self-interest of money... but land... wives/brides. Something that made them more amenable to "control".
