Russia is the aggressor. What do you propose?

Playing Devil's advocate, given how much firepower Russia has, why is it so soft on Ukraine. I mean what is the endgoal for Russia here? Tire out the US/NATO Empire just as US did to Soviets in Afghanistan. I sometimes feel like all these events are orchestrated as Simon Dixon talks about them in his videos.

Are you joking? Russia has thrown everything it has at Ukraine for quite some time.

Russia is throwing most of its deployable conventional firepower on Ukraine and whatever robots, KABs, missiles and drones it can manufacture. It is their manufacturing capability which is limited.

Have you seen the Oryx list of destroyed equipment? The defunct Soviet Union produced a shitton of armored vehicles, Russia inherited most of them and they all got burnt in Ukraine.

In which way is Russia being soft on Ukraine?

Russia attacked Europe, this is just another reminder that they are our enemies and we should be sabotaging their systems in turn.

Relax, Russia didn't attacked Europe yet (if you mean EU).

It may not have attacked intentionally the EU yet, but a week ago there was an incident when a Russian drone apparently strayed away from whatever Ukrainian target it may have had, and it hit an apartment building in the city of Galati, in Romania, in the EU, injuring two people.

In the past there have been other incidents with Russian weapons reaching the neighboring countries from the EU, like Poland and Romania, but this was the first time when they hit a populated area, causing human injuries.

That was not a Russian drone in Romania. Ukraine has admitted it was theirs.

The linked article disproves your claim. It seems you're mistaking the naval drone incident, which did not cause casualties, with the Russian drone strike.

> The country's defence ministry said the drone had self-detonated near an oil terminal without causing any casualties, although authorities have said it caused considerable damage to a ship and warehouses.

> Ukraine later confirmed one of its naval drones had been involved, saying it had been knocked off course by Russian electronic interference. Moscow has yet to comment.

> It also comes a week after two people were injured when a drone hit a Romanian apartment block in the eastern city of Galati - close to the border with Ukraine.

> Romanian officials said they had confirmed it was a Russian drone but Moscow said "accusations" of its involvement were "unsubstantiated".

They said Europe, why would you assume the EU?
