Russian invasion of Ukraine

[jonnysensible]

I know, that it's unpopular opinion, but I guess you guys have never participated in real wars, so you don't even know, what it means to fall asleep for 8 years in a row, while not knowing, if you'll wake up tomorrow, because bomb can hit your home at night.

i grew up in the troubles on the falls

If the russians were expecting the Ukrainians to fall over they are in for a rude awakening.

go on home russian soldiers go on home, Have u got no fuckin homes of your own

If Putin suddenly croaks in a few days...

...Nothing would change.

Ukrainian army is counter attacking the Russian airborne at the Gostomel airport.
If Ukraine manages to bring heavy weapons to this fight the Russian SOF without vehicles and artillery are gonna get chewed up.

I recall the "drills" in school in case of a nuke attack.

Here they just produced the film ‘Threads’ so we were all aware surviving it wasn’t that desirable anyway.

Does anyone have a twitter that reports what actually going on in the battlefield? this Marc rubio guy doesn't tweet now.

Do Ukrainians stand a chance as it is now?

Is there a live feed somewhere with real time news?

HAHAHAAHAHAHA WELLL!!! He is probably NOT going to croak in a few days by any means, but he is 69 Years old, who knows he might have another decade or more if reports like this, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/...-putins-health are correct.

*nods firmly* Yep...no worries about plausible denial.

Kyiv roads are snarled.

Won’t be regular forces and engagements that decide that.

That generation largely had their own countries attacked before entering the war.

But I do tend to agree that we could have done more to deter this. Russia doesn't want war with NATO any more than NATO wants war with Russia. If we had taken a more firm stance, there's a good chance Russia never would have been invaded. But the flipside of that is if we called Putin's bluff and he decided to go all in anyway, it would have been the start of a conflict the world hasn't seen in 80 years. The death and human suffering would have been horrifying.

But if you don't stop a bully, they don't stop bullying. This won't end here. My biggest fear is that if Trump gets re-elected, Putin invades Estonia or one of the other Baltics, surmising that Trump wouldn't be willing to go to war to protect Estonia. He'd probably be correct, as Trump appears to be in Putin's pocket to begin with, but that would be the dismantling of NATO.

I mean....Trump flat out said that, early in his presidency.

Give me just one example of country, that wasn't robbed and ruined, when trying to bring western "democracy" to it? Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Livia, Syria? Do you realize, that USA is pirate of 21st century country, that prospers via robbing 3rd world countries? And that's it's all about military contracts? But what if there wouldn't be any enemies to beat? If there are no enemies - they should be created.

Russia needs to be kicked out of everything. World Cups, EUROs, Champions League, trade, the Internet, Steam, CSGO, everything.

Put the pressure on its population so they'll take responsibility and protest this shit.

why not just assassinate putin? There is an immense amount of civil dissent in Russia right now over this compared to what I imagined of them all worshipping Putin.

Advisor to Ukrainian interior ministry says Russian forces entered Chernobyl and that fighting there may destroy a nuclear waste storage facility.

Was the West trying to make Ukraine a democracy? Is that why Putin just had to invade the country?

Putin's claim: It's to protect against U.S aggression on Russia along it's borders.

The reality: It's a Land grab to expand Russia's power.

Possibility: The begin stages of WW3 with a plan in place with Enemies of the U.S and NATO that could very well include agents and cells within the U.S borders.

I say that not as a conspiracy but as fact through History, the USSR was always willing to play counter measures, make them look left, and you go right etc.

Baltic states and Poland, in unison - WE TOLD YOU SO!
