There are people here who don't believe Russia has the ability to do this, and many in fact believe Ukraine will push Russia out completely.

Naive.

And listening to too much US State Dept/CIA/NATO/Ukrainian propaganda. Which everyone must acknowledge is the best in the history of man. Up there with the devil his own self.

They swear up and down that Russia can’t do it one minute, then post an article accusing them of being ogres that are doing what they proclaimed Russia is too inept to do a few minutes later to get sympathy.

They are like kids.

The exact volumes of gas currently lying deep underneath the Black Sea are not yet known. Rough estimates predict that the Ukrainian shelf may contain more than two trillion cubic meters of gas.

The exact figure is yet to be determined since two-thirds of the country’s maritime area passed to de facto Russian control following Moscow’s illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014. Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz is preparing [2021] to explore 32 remaining blocks.

Russia doesn’t have a path to Odessa and haven’t since March.

Putin has said He wants to link up with Transnistria and his puppets on state TV parrot this wet dream, but its not going to happen.

The Kherson Bridge is 3 Himars strikes away from being swiss cheese and there are 4 more bridges after that... and then he have to take a City on 1,000,000 people, which is 900,000 more people than any city he has take since March.

Russia doesn’t have the ability to take Odessa. They did back in February, but then they wastesd too much of their resources (and the element of surprise) on Kiev and Kharkiv.

That Russia seeks to provide security to both the eastern areas and Crimea seems reasonable to me. These areas are populated by ethnic Russians and recent history proves they are at risk from the questionable leadership in Kiev.

It is inconceivable to me that anyone could be so foolish as to imagine Russia abandoning either the warm-water port in Crimea or the Russian populated eastern areas.

Russia will never allow these areas to be wrested from them, If there is any risk of that we will be looking at WW3.

The line has been drawn...everyone needs to cool off and face reality.. every side comes to this with unclean hands. To save us from destruction compromises must be made. The same sort of compromises that rescued us during the Cuban Missile Crises... both sides swallowed hard and moved on...

Seems those Russians just have no idea they’ve lost the war. I I mean all the media says so. Better retreat before Zelensky drops his drawers and give the world the second verse with his penis piano.

Can we please just stop giving these crooks money and build a wall on the southern border before it’s too late?

My repetitious posting on this should be nauseous by now but I’m as nauseated with how Ukraine is just kicking Ruskie a$$ and showing that mentally ill cancerous pimple Putin who is the real boss.

And will continue to do so until the entire EU has joined NATO.

Then the EU will have a military.

Well, they will have the US military on speed dial.

No need for them to spend their money on it.

I really wonder what they are paying Putin with for him to do this.

I suspect that Russia is just establishing a negotiating position with this threat. If Ukraine agrees to cede the eastern provinces they will probably drop these threats.

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

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

And they’ll have about as much luck as they’ve had so far...

Russian soldiers who don’t want to be there, don’t want to fight, and don’t want to get blown up will grow tired and go home, sooner or later.
