Russian Tanks Flatten Ukrainian Town, Ukraine Military Says

[newthinking]

30. I posted about this several days ago. There is no avoiding the war expanding. We are naive when it

comes to understanding war. We fight them from overseas which makes a different dynamic.

There are only three resolutions to the war:

1. Kiev suppresses the rebels.
2. A compromise or passive mutual agreement to stop hostilities
3. The rebels march into Ukraine proper and continue to expand until there is nobody to fight them.

Even though the rebels may only be interested in "Novorussiya", they can't just secure it and then proceed to be bombed for the next year. If there is not a peace resolution they *have* to move forward. It is the nature of war.

A Ukrainian friend of mine said this to me some time back and it shocked me and I argued with him and told him that would contradict the claim that Novorossiya was a defensive formation... until I realized he was simply stating the reality of war and I was naive to think that there was any other choice.
