[Everybody knows, Ukraine is weak!]
[Pooty must act soon or not at all.I have no idea why he coivets Ukraine so much. Maybe he just wants a greater land mass to control as Russia always did.]
Nobody needs it anymore. If you paid attention Russian divestment from Ukraine over last 5 years is unprecedented in modern history. It presents exactly zero value to Russia. The only territory in question is LNR and DNR confederacy. These two want to Russia badly and there is some support to it among some Russians but I think the Russian government doesn’t really want it.
Not in 21th century.

The Vietnam War started in the 1950s, according to most historians, though the conflict in Southeast Asia had its roots in the French colonial period of the 1800s. The United States, France, China, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, Laos and other countries would over time become involved in the lengthy war, which finally ended in 1975 when North and South Vietnam were reunited as one country. The following Vietnam War timeline is a guide to the complex political and military issues involved in a war that would ultimately claim millions of lives.
Vietnam Background: Uneasy French Rule
• 1887: France imposes a colonial system over Vietnam, calling it French Indochina. The system includes Tonkin, Annam, Cochin China and Cambodia. Laos is added in 1893.
• 1923-25: Vietnamese nationalist Ho Chi Minh is trained in the Soviet Union as an agent of the Communist International (Comitern).
• February 1930: Ho Chi Minh founds the Indochinese Communist Party at a meeting in Hong Kong.
• June 1940: Nazi Germany takes control of France.
• September 1940: Japanese troops invade French Indochina and occupy Vietnam with little French resistance.
• May 1941: Ho Chi Minh and communist colleagues establish the League for the Independence of Vietnam. Known as the Viet Minh, the movement aims to resist French and Japanese occupation of Vietnam.
• March 1945: Japanese troops occupying Indochina carry out a coup against French authorities and announce an end to the colonial era, declaring Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia independent.
• August 1945: Japan is defeated by the Allies in World War II, leaving a power vacuum in Indochina. France begins to reassert its authority over Vietnam.
• September 1945: Ho Chi Minh declares an independent North Vietnam and models his declaration on the American Declaration of Independence of 1776 in an (unsuccessful) effort to win the support of the United States.
• July 1946: Ho Chi Minh rejects a French proposal granting Vietnam limited self-government and the Viet Minh begins a guerrilla war against the French.

Forever?
Maybe when Genghis Khan's hoards pushed the Viet tribes south out of China into what became Vietnam. They would have had to displace, kill, or assimilate those living there already.
All Peoples have always been, and will always be, at war.
Orthodox or Pagan? Because Western Europe is split between Nihilists, Mohammedeans, and Pagans.
Not really. There has been a change in the head of state of Ukraine recently. There are still a few corrupt companies, but they are being dealt with. Russia needs this corruption to continue so they can worm their way back in.
Western Europe really does not care for Ukraine; they want to keep the cheap Russian oil flowing and don’t have the capability to confront Putin by themselves. However Poland and the Eastern Europeans will help out Ukraine, possibly at the expense of NATO breaking up.
Ping.
Thanks for that display of ignorance.
Especially with EastAsia!
Matthew 24:6-13 New International Version (NIV)
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
“...It’s gonna be tough in a Fox Hole wearing a mask and keeping Social Distancing!...”
Then dig a slit trench instead. You can always bury the enemy dead in it after the battle.
Yikes, Dawg Brother... that’s some heavy hardware.
A “Slit Trench!”
Of Course!
BRILLIANT.
“...Brilliant...”
Actually, yeah...I amaze the hell out of myself sometimes... :^)
And stack the dead bastards like sandbags around it...
