It’s pretty clear Russia will take whatever it wants and there is nothing the Ukraine can do about it.


Russia certainly took a fine piece of the bottom of the black sea and parked their flagship cruiser there. No doubt that is what they wanted to do.

With the US supplying Ukraine with long range HIMARS, Russia needs to grab even more territory as a buffer zone. Let’s go, Brandon!

Every war had it’s losses. Russia is taking Ukraine territory bit by bit as its own and they can’t stop it. It is what it is. They have not mounted a counter offensive yet.

Amazing the number of pro Russian imperialism cheerleaders on FR.

100,000 innocent Ukrainians dead, WWII type destruction and some, here, cheer for more.

You gotta figure out a way to destroy those 7,000 nukes first.

Be sure to get back to us with the solution.

How do you say "lebensraum" in Russian?

Its "payback is a bitch nazikinder" in my neck of the woods.

“100,000 innocent Ukrainians dead, WWII type destruction and some, here, cheer for more.”

How cute, a moralist.

This is all the fault of Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, and his land grab of Crimea, which they took from USSR Russia and gave to his own state in violation of the Soviet Constitution of the time.

(It would be like Biden as President issuing an Executive Order that annexed all of Maryland on the east shore of Chesapeake bay from Pennsylvania down to the Virgina border and giving it to Deleware. It would not happen here, but in Soviet Russia it could and did. )

Hope it gets resolved soon.

And I agree with your assessment that they need a treaty regarding the eastern provinces and Crimea.

Before this war the Russian government claimed 1400 nukes. And that was 2014. The Mayak disaster means no new nukes since 2017. Normal attrition puts their probable nuke count around 700 and probably less once you factor in corruption.

As if you can trust the Russians to keep their treaty promises.

“such as howitzers or HIMARS that have no relevant use on our southern border”

I’ll happily dispute that assertion.

“Before this war the Russian government claimed 1400 nukes”

Nonsense.

They have approx 1500 deployed and ready to launch. Per treaty.

As do we.

But each country has over 5,000 total...minimum.

“The Mayak disaster” was 1959.

My big point is to stop it all. You are right and thanks regarding the majority of the number is weapons but they’ve also sent billions in cash.

The southern border gets about 3 billion. I’m sure some military weapons, engineering, transportation, housing, etc could be put together and secure the southern border.

I’m beyond tired seeing America send money and weapons and those spec ops people training others in a loser war which in the end, if Ukraine even wins will do nothing for America.

Apparently, your neck of the woods is populated with power-hungry, internationalist communists. Damn them all to hell.

Russia will bypass Odessa to the north and link up with proRussian elements in Transnistria, Thereby isolating and cutting off Odessa from the rest of Ukraine. The eventual inevitable negotiated settlement will resolve the Odessa issue at some later date. Meanwhile Russia will have taken control of the rest of the entire Ukrainian coastline.
