I make plenty of arguments. You’re just not smart enough to understand them. Let me try an argument at your level: Russia kill many innocent people. Russia bad.
Why are you complaining?
Are you Ukrainian, are you Russian? Or just a good samaritan? I didn't see you complain when many innocent people where killed in the Middle East by the US.
Please explain to me why does it matter exactly NOW that innocent people die?
You poor naive chap. Ukraine is done. East and South Ukraine will be either a part of Russia or autonomous. Without those important parts the rest of Ukraine will be a burden to the EU.
And this entire thing will end once EU citizens will start feeling upcoming financial crisis for real. Europeans are soft people and don't like discomfort. Protests will begin, some EU politician in charge will have to tell Biden off and open up Nord Stream 2. Doesn't matter what the US or Selensky want. Europe will eventually decide what's best for Europe.
You're underestimating the stupidity of the European liberal.
These morons would gun their own people down in the streets before they abandon their idiotic green globalist ideologies.
Stupidity is saying this war would be over in 5 days
An important question to some of the commenters here:
Do you really care about Ukrainian lives or do you simply unload your frustration in hating Russia?
Be honest.
Why not both?
But seriously, I care about Ukrainian lives. I also don’t like when one country tries to take land that belongs to another country. With that in mind, I view Russia the same way I would a car jacker. A violent thug that should be removed from society.
Tip to anyone over there, both Russian and Ukrainian, don’t stand anywhere near a Russian ammunition dump or heavy equipment.
NATO has satellite generated coordinates of Russian ammo dumps and heavy equipment in Ukraine.
Now Ukraine have the HIMARS, they just plug in the coordinates, and hit fire from 60 miles away. The boom goodbye Russian equipment and anyone near it.

Putin is never going to shag you, mate.
You answered it without giving an answer. Hate and frustration is deep-seated. I have observed this phenomena from Russian side as well. Hating just to hate.

Well that's at least half bad. What do you think about Israel and Palestine though? Should Israel be obliterated too? Should the West sanction Israel?

Doing this would be pretty dangerous to Ukraine. From what I gather, Putin is thinking on declaring war on Ukraine to be able to officially mobilize troops. And once this mess has war status, Russia might as well fire missiles on Kiev. And maybe not only Kiev.

Ummm... Ukraine has been blowing up Russia ammo dumps almost daily for the last week or two. Russia has also been firing missiles at Kyiv for the last 5 months. So, it's not clear what new concerns you're raising.
Have we ever seen a more inept army than what Russia brought to Ukraine? Are these peope bad at war or what? Long tank, truck convoys rolling down the road getting blown up one by one how damn stupid is that? How many of their generals have been killied, ya don't have generals that close to the action....DUH!!!!!!!
Russia will never rule Ukraine so they have already lost. Thinking they could tells us just how damn stupid these people are. Never be a Russian flag waving in Kyviv. Russian has lost any hopes of rulling Ukraine, that isn't going to happen and it should be real obvious.
Russia has lost close to 50, 000 soldiers, TONS of equipments and what have they gained? If the aliens arrive there will be no Russians in my fox hole, they can't fight.

In that case the US/ Ukraine getting kicked out of virtually all territory Russia wanted to begin with is certainly an interesting military strategy. A brilliantly executed surrender of territory if I ever saw one.

No less stupid that still believing Russia is losing this war
If, I say if, Putin won't succeed to declare war ( and if he does he will lose anyway getting his majority people against him when Russian mothers and fathers will be forced to send their sons to a high risk of death) the Ukrainian wind of one million soldiers, HIMARS and so on, will blow the Russian troops away .

Not correct. Two US Army Generals have been killed in the last 20 years; Lt. Gen. Maude and Maj. Gen. Greene.
It's an apples-to-oranges comparison.
American Generals generally have 25+ years experience and are rarely close to action.
Russia has about twice the number of Generals, on average they are less experienced (aka expendable), and are often deployed in theatre.
You believe that double figure Russian Generals have been killed in the past 4.5 months?
I don't believe it.
How do you know that "Russia has about twice the number of Generals, on average they are less experienced (aka expendable), and are often deployed in theatre."?
Double figure Russian Generals have been killed
I made no representation on number of Russian Generals killed.
FWIW, it's lower than figures cited by Ukraine, other posters here, etc.
According the BBC last month, they confirm just 4 Russian Generals killed, and also report that 3 Ukraine-claimed kills (of Russian Generals) are disproved/discounted, as those "dead" generals subsequently appeared in public.
American Generals generally have 25+ years experience and are rarely close to action.
"Following the Vietnam War, high ranking officers were rarely placed in vulnerable positions, such as on the battlefield. Instead, they occupied more strategic positions in places like the Pentagon. These days it takes a long time to become a [US] general - 25 years... The army will not put someone with 25 years training on the field." -Richard Kohn, Military Historian at University of North Carolina
Russia has about twice the number of Generals
The approximation is based on Wiki and other sources reporting that in 2008, Russia had 1107 Generals. And in 2020, that the US had 653 Generals.
On average [Russian Generals] are less experienced
See above. Russian and American ranks do not line up. Officers with the rank of General in the Russian army can have less experience because their functional role is lower:
"Col. John Barranco, senior Marine Corps fellow at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council, cautioned that we shouldn’t think of these Russians who’ve been killed as holding the stature of three- or four-star generals in the U.S. The closer analogy would be brigade-level or deputy-division level commanders."
Expendable
Because they're forward-deployed and being KIA.
Are often deployed in theatre
"[There is] a flaw in the way the Russians organize their armies. In the American army, in many ways the key figures are junior officers and noncommissioned officers — sergeants, lieutenants, captains — and in the American army, even though there is a chain of command, the rules of engagement are such that people at lower levels are given a great deal of freedom and encouragement to make decisions on the spot, to make a call and do something and respond to emergencies and basically roll with the punches or the bullets, whatever it is. In the Russian army, that kind of structure does not exist. And so generals go forward in a situation like this.”
-John McLaughlin, former Acting Director of the CIA
“When your planning begins to fall apart because of the nature of war... you have to have a very senior person who comes forward,” he said. “And so you’ve got a lot of senior [Russian] officers out there, exposed or having to move up close to what’s going on to try and unravel the various problems that normally should have been sorted out by a much more junior, lower level commander.”
-Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former Commander of U.S. Forces in Europe
