No war is a cake walk but Russia will accomplish its goals easily.
And who gives a #### about morally a big hit.
People are dreamers here
I said a minor chance. And that only becomes possible if NATO decides to start a conventional fight with Russia or hits any target inside Russia.
Belarus is joining in the attack! So Ukraine now has two enemies come-rolling towards their capital! The entire Ukraine Air force was taken out giving Russia control of the air. Oddessa is under naval attack with Russian Marines being landed—how much is rumor?
trump is advocating for this invasion. Seems weird
Seeing reports that Moldova is seeing some kind of action
Putin is rolling the dice. A quick victory will cement his place in History—But maybe it will come up snake eyes?
I don’t think a man of his wealth cares about the high price to his own people or anyone else. He is out to restore the Empire not out of love for his country but because he resents the humiliation of its defeat in the Cold War. Like bin Laden wasn’t motivated by love, he was motivated by humiliation over the loss off the Ottoman Empire. The election of Obama and Biden gives Putin the best opportunity to recreate an empire any tyrant could ask for. It is too tempting, Germans and Russians kissing up just like in the outbreak of WW2, isolationists and communists aagitating both sides in the US and Americans naive and self absorbed to the point of stupidity, Palestinians, as in WW2, on the side of tyranny, only this time with sizeable presence inside the US. The propaganda campaign against the US was and is the most successful the Russians ever ran, as we can see by the pro-Putin trolls running amok here and the Dems completely infiltrated. Even Instead of Japan, this new axis includes China. Ultimately we will find out the covid thing was a form of blackmail courtesy China and Russia, for Russia’s interest in biological warfare has been amply demonstrated by all their treaty violations. That is why all the panic, not just the elections...covid was a warning from Putin and his Chinese allies that something like smallpox would be next if the US intervenes.
Well, we can't. Biden is correct about that.
His mistake (or that of his Neocon handlers) was to urge Ukraine to join NATO, and to tell Putin that he had no say in who joins NATO.
The Neocons taunted Russia, provoked Russia, and drew lines in the sand.
Then when Russia stepped over the line, it turned out the Neocons had nothing. They were only bluffing.
Same geniuses who gave us the Iraq War and the Afghan debacle.

You think the Chinese are gonna want Putin and his family around, as a potential focus of Russian resistance (or hatred), if they survive the exchange, after they take over Russia’s territory? Putin and his nearest and dearest will become organ donors. Putin’s not a moron. He knows if Russia dies in a nuclear conflagration, his entire family dies with it. Whereas a conventional defeat might not even result in his loss of power, let alone his personal demise.
(Unconfirmed)
Azov is said to be no more — decimated.

Trump is advocating for this invasion..so perhaps that is why you are seeing pro Russian posts here
Yeah Putin should decide who will join NATO that makes sense.
“Putin said he is going to put the people responsible for the genocide that’s been taking place there for the last 8 years on trial.”
-— Russia published lists of known war criminals yesterday and confirmed they will be prosecuted.
As for the refugees .. there seems to be on, an Ukrainian SU-27 escaped to Romania.
There have been internet claims prior to invasion that the CIA was breeding the Nazi regime in Ukraine. azov was included in some of those claims
“What Poland has coming from Russia, it fully deserves.”
What are you talking about.
Why do you say crazy things.
“trump is advocating for this invasion. Seems weird.”
What?
If they want to stop NATO expansion, they have to strike first. Like Operation Icebreaker. We would have no sooner allowed Canada or Mexico to join the Warsaw Pact. I think they will simply negotiate for Crimea.
This one particular thing us good. Here were true Neo-Nazis.
We had how many years to negotiate a meaningful settlement of these questions? But everybody sat on their butts, and now, here we are.
