  1. What does officially declaring war get Putin (apart from confirming to the world and Russia that the “Speshul Military Operation” has been a complete failure)

  2. I think it’s a little late to declare war at this point.   This conflict is closer to its end than its beginning. 

  3. 1 million dead wounded 10k tanks destroyed, 800 aerial vehicles destroyed and they ain’t ready??? Lol

  4. Whats the point in war anymore? They don’t exist for years. A war is now called “conflict” or “special operation”. Meaningless semantics.

  5. If Russia/Ukraine aren’t at war, what is preventing Ukraine from joining NATO?

  6. This may be one of the greatest headlines I have seen in a while.

    I mean 3+ years of conflict, but they aren’t at “war”?

  7. If Putin does declare war would Russian state media outlets become legitimate military targets? In former conflicts state controlled media operatives have been convicted of war crimes.

  8. What you need to understand: If Russia declares war, the Russian military will also be in a state of war which drastically changes how things like military recruitment is handled. Right now, it is possible to not go to Ukraine as a young Russian man because there is officially no war. That’s also why the Russian military has this massive marketing campaign to get people to sign up for the „special military operation“ in Ukraine. In a war, they could simply forcefully draft anyone they want.

  9. It’s only day number 2. Give it time to flesh out./s

  10. I hope this peace holds out, there’s been a lot of tension over there since Maiden.

  11. Weather he declares war or not, he did invade Ukraine in 2022 and war broke our.
