Ukraine has nothing to lose by going on the offense

Big talk.

“Don’t you think that Russia has many divisions for backup not far from the border. “

For example which ones ? You can google up the structure of their military, the units committed are also commonly known.

Every pro Putin and Russia Freeper lends credence to Adam Schiff’s claims of Russian involvement in trumps election.

Only for people that vote for Adam Schiff or support him politically.

What you wrote is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all day

Lob one 155mm shell into Belgorod, receive one low yield tactical nuke in return.

And then scoot.


Back home just in time to catch the inbound tactical nuke warhead.

I don’t trust google or yahoo nor the deep state drive by media. Half of Russia’s ground forces are at the border. 2,000,000 Russian are in the reserves.

and you’d be fighting for Russia.

Nope - he’d be a forced conscript hiding in terror of some ‘clean up’ squad finding him ...

Orcs would probably pull back a division or two to defend the critical city.


or just follow policy and nuke the offending part of the UA

Ukraine would do well to delay as long as possible.

In a few months Ukraine government, as well as most of its citizens, will be dead broke, with out any fuel and no small arms, ammo, with most of its bridges across the Dnieper blown.

It’s sad that so-called “Americans” are willing to fight for the unelected dictator Mr. Aqualung. Anyone who acknowledges Aqualung as president is a traitor.

Real Americans should treat Mr. Potato Head just as the insurrectionist Demonrats treated President Trump.

The little beggar Zelensky would do well to start negotiations. Once the Russian people are energized ( I know, I trained Ivan’s in Moscow for three years), Ukraine will be crushed, by all means with support.

Vlad has been exercising restraint ( by Pentagon / DOD admission), once/ if his Congress ( Duma) authorizes mobilization, Vlad will be pushed to remove restraints, ie, Kiev bombed to rubble ( like Mariupol), western Ukraine attacked relentlessly, all infrastructure destroyed ( he has not done that), all Dniepner river bridges destroyed, all power plants destroyed, all civil ( non military) centers destroyed, etc….there are now EU murmurs questioning why the beggar Zelensky is refusing to go to the table.

Make no mistake, Vlad is winning economically, most important. The EU is suffering, food shortages, high inflation, extreme energy shortages. The west is reeling under his counter sanctions, and he is gaining support by many, many non western aligned nations.

Vlad is playing chess, senile Joe checkers. Any incursions into the motherland WILL result in national mobilization, supported by the people, and voted for by their Congress ( Duma). Yes Johnny, Russia has a Congress, Vlad is not a dictator. He has huge support. Question is, are the Ukies dumb enough to poke the bear? Watch it war cheerleaders, Vlad will take the Bear’s leash off.

Russian nuclear threats have become tiresome. Do it or STFU already.

It’s actually worse than I thought: Belgorod is currently undefended. It would be easy pickings for the Ukies.

So, you want Ukraine to invasion Russian territory? That would suicide for Ukraine.

You don't seem to grasp that Russia has restrained itself. It could level Kiev and Lviv and other major cities outside of Donbass at any time. But, the Russians goal to liberate the ethnically Russian parts of the country.

Russia could and would escalate the war and there would be an horrific loss of life if they decided to attack a Russian city.

Ukraine needs to surrender, agree to let Donbass, Kherson and Crimea go, agree to remain a neutral state and ask the Russians to spare Odessa and let it have some access to the Black Sea.

“So, you want Ukraine to invasion Russian territory?”

Yup. Belgorod is currently undefended and seizing it will underscore the weaknesses of the Soviet military not to mention screwing up logistics for the orc invaders inside Ukraine.

“Ukraine needs to surrender, agree to let Donbass, Kherson and Crimea go, agree to remain a neutral state and ask the Russians to spare Odessa and let it have some access to the Black Sea.”

The Ukrainians aren’t cooperating with you. Nor is Finland or Sweden. You might get the impression that more and more countries are starting to see Russia’s military as the razvaluha that it is.

The Ukes welcomed the Nazis as liberators. They remembered the government induced famine. When the Nazis started their ethnic cleansing in the east is when the Ukes turned against them

It’d be a shame if that would happen.
It would make Putin even worse of a boogyman than he already is.

No that would be a bad move because the Russians would claim they invaded Russia. Just flatten the town the same way the Russians do.
