The craziest thing is that the USSR pretty much got to keep its share of Poland that it took after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that started WWII. Poland’s borders were shifted west into what had always been Germany to sort of make up for the theft.
Parts of Ukraine, were taken from Hungary and Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia) after the war.
The USSR got to keep Poland itself (and Latvia/Lithuania/Estonia, part of Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany).
For a war that started to defend an independent Poland (at least officially), it accomplished far less than that...
The USSR got to keep Poland itself ...
Jerry Ford disagreed.
I thought he was totally losing. Ghost shot down all his planes, tens of thousands of dead troops, hundreds of tanks all destroyed, or something like that.
Pidor Putin will only lose if good men stand up to fight him and put that SOB in his grave.
“I disagree with this statement.
Russia drew a line over Belarus & Ukraine not Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Albania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovakia, or Slovenia.”
THEN YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
On December 10, 2021 Russia issued a list of demands to NATO that in hindsight were an ultimatum. Read article four carefully as Russia is demanding that NATO withdraw from the very countries you think Putin doesn’t want to conquer.
Article 1: the parties should not strengthen their security at the expense of Russia’s security;
Article 2: the parties will use multilateral consultations and the NATO-Russia Council to address points of conflict;
Article 3: the parties reaffirm that they do not consider each other as adversaries and maintain a dialogue;
Article 4: the parties shall not deploy military forces and weaponry on the territory of any of the other states in Europe in addition to any forces that were deployed as of May 27, 1997;
Article 5: the parties shall not deploy land-based intermediate- and short-range missiles adjacent to the other parties;
Article 6: all member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States;
Article 7: the parties that are member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shall not conduct any military activity on the territory of Ukraine as well as other States in the Eastern Europe, in the South Caucasus and in Central Asia; and
Article 8: the agreement shall not be interpreted as affecting the primary responsibility of the Security Council of the United Nations for maintaining international peace and security.
So Ukraine is losing?
It’s not over yet. The petulant egomaniac in the ‘secret’ Kremlin bunker under Cathedral Square may yet decide to use nuclear weapons on Ukraine if he doesn’t get his way.
What is your plan it pooty doesn’t get his way and launches nukes?
“What is your plan it pooty doesn’t get his way and launches nukes?”
If you live in Moscow it’ll be time to break out your 50 million SPF sunscreen.
So...same basic plan for the American East Coast and every military base. Just making sure folks are thinking this thing through.
What Pidor Putin does is up to Pidor Putin. He’s the one who needs to think this through.
It’s all up to him.
If you're pining your hopes on putti not behaving like a trapped rat then better buy some sunscreen.
If Putin goes nuclear then so will the world. If he is really this crazy then I hope someone in Moscow puts a bullet in his head before it’s too late.
And why would NATO want to invade Russia? In modern times only dictatorships have wanted to invade Russia, and they failed miserably! Everyone knows Russia would use a scorched Earth strategy. Democratically elected governments don't have the stomach to invade Russia.
If you have to understand the Russian mentality in this, they don’t trust anyone, especially the West, they have a paranoia about security issues.
