General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Have you compared the industrial capacity of Ukraine compared to Russia? Do you really believe that a nation that much smaller is actually winning?
If Russia was the genocidal force you claim they are they could have literally glassed Ukraine without consequence. The reality is that that privelege is only afford to western backed powers like Israel.
What a myopic view on warfare, "big country big, eat smaller country", because a smaller country has never repelled an industrially superior foe before. I honestly don't know how you can look at the current situation and think Russia is doing well. Why aren't they using that industrial capacity to build enough air defence to stop the drone attacks on their oil refineries? They've been happening for a year now, it should be easy for Russia and it's well managed, large indusial capacity, right?
