I understand the frustration of people like Monarchist who have followed the war a lot more emotionally than I have.
Put the situation in context... the victim of a rape could fight like a wildcat... but that could lead to them being killed and then raped. A victim of rape could resist so that a non rapist would realise and stop... even if they end up getting raped they might not get killed.
Novorossiya is hardly in a position of strength and is certainly not able to dictate terms or control the situation to any great degree.
@kvs... are you serious thinking that a UNSC resolution would mean anything at all? Do you think Russia would even get anything through without a US or UK or French veto?
I did not imply a UN resolution should be obtained. But a session of the Security Council would establish who was the
aggressor. At this session Russia should threaten to use whatever force it deemed necessary to stop the attack on
Transnistria. Let the US and its NATO minions posture all they want. They will lose the propaganda battle right off the
bat since they wouldn't be able to justify any military action against Transnistria.
