Moscow targeted again as Kyiv steps up drone attacks inside Russia - Lemmy.world

Russia says Ukraine targeted Moscow with drones on Sunday, the latest in a series of attacks that have brought the Ukraine war to Russia’s capital.

People can turn away from supporting a war pretty quickly when it suddently reaches your doorstep.

That is not what has ever happened at any point in time historically. When war is on the doorstep support for your own side hardens massively.

The times where populations have turned against wars have always been when the troops are fighting far away from home in lands that the home population feels they shouldn’t be dying in.

This will only make people cling to support for the military because they rely on it for personal safety.

That is not what has ever happened at any point in time historically, I actually can’t think of a single example.

There are countless historical examples of cities and countries surrendering without a fight when faced with attack. Just look at the Mongol conquests for an obvious starting point.

Civilians do not decide whether to surrender or not. Militaries and leadership do.
You really don’t read much history, do you?
Do you want to give some examples?
I would if I thought you were participating in the discussion good faith, but that’s not something CCP tankies are capable of, so I guess go find a way through that firewall and google it yourself. You won’t, though, because you guys have no interest in true facts
