Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Solace22: Originally Posted By kncook: That makes ZERO sense why you’d embolden your enemy and allow them to rally citizens and arms.

Why go full scale battle with a paper tiger army? That's what happens when your ego is bigger than your dick. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By outofbattery: He has to hold a reserve in case Poland enters the conflict,with or without NATO. He must also still pacify a nation that doesn’t want them there. The Belarusian people don’t want Lukašenko let alone Putin so he must effectively occupy that nation as well. I believe he thought this would be over in 12 hours,the West would accept a new puppet in Kyiv even if it wasn’t recognized -actually all the better to be unrecognized- and that would be it. Every hour that goes on increase the minuscule odds of Putin losing “we had to save Russians from those Jew Nazis” at home. If the dam breaks and Russians become unafraid to take to the streets against him he needs enough men to keep control. He is at a delicate balance. This would be a great time to kill Lukasenko and have a Belarusian “uprising” to kick the russians out. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dagger41: Their threat is their nuclear capabilities. They are proving once again that their war fighting logistics for ground game completely suck. They are running around Ukraine like chickens with their heads cut off and turning themselves in to cannon fodder. At this point I’m not convinced that they’re as nuclear capable as we’ve been led to believe. Their conventional forces are somewhat of a joke at this point. I think an ROTC cadet could have planned and executed this better than the Russian high command did. I’m almost convinced this Putin’s cabinet is telling what he wants to hear rather than what he needs to hear. All of those things are leading me to believe that there’s a lot of bluffing taking place in regards to their military capabilities. I have to imagine that their nuclear forces are in the same predicament |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By civic96hb: That’s why the talking heads on Fox were saying it’s easy to takeover Ukraine but harder to hold Ukraine Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By civic96hb: Originally Posted By lafirefighter: While the means to accomplish such an objective are obviously being moved in. I really doubt that's what Putin wants. He was hoping Zelensky would flee and he'd be able to install a puppet president. Once Putin starts targeting non-military assets, obliterating cities, and killing civilians he will never be able to win the support of the Ukrainian people and will forever face insurgency. Such a strategy has to be his last option. That’s why the talking heads on Fox were saying it’s easy to takeover Ukraine but harder to hold Ukraine Fox News is a 360 degree disappointment. According to a post here, one reporter said that it's bad that Ukraine is passing out guns to civilians and that hopefully negotiations could stop the conflict. And their subject matter expert generals who said that Kyiv would fall in 24-48 hours and that Ukrainians would have to recognize the Kremlin's puppet. Unreal. Too many dunce talkers on that channel when their reporters should be in the field with the video running another fucking mouths shut.its as bad as CNN just not dripping with leftism. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By kncook: That means the Russians are all fucked us or the Ukrainians can get behind advancing units easily. Engineer groups shouldn’t be getting blasted like that. The second vehicle in the column that was really shredded had a significant crater in front of it. Too big for artillery, an a moving target in the Russian rear isnt an artillery target anyway. Looks to me like a plane flew down the road and salvoed some bombs on them. I'd say aerial interdiction. |

The Ukraine response so far makes me think if this part of Sir Winston Chruchill's speech:
"we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." Stay strong Ukraine men and women. Earn your freedom. |

To obliterate cities. Am I seriously the only one who feels like the tide has shifted considerably over the last 48 hours and there's no way the West is going to allow that to happen? To me it feels like the ground has shifted beneath my feet and there's now too much popular and political support to allow Russia to go Grozny on a bunch of Ukrainian cities. Boy, was I wrong. These people are apparently willing to fight like hell and die for their country. I'm not ready to shed American blood on the ground for them, but I'm 100% onboard with getting them serious weapons to kill the Russians with. Slava Ukraini! We should bleed Russia the same way we did when the soviets went into Afghanistan. That really worked out well for us in the long term. That 20 year shit fest really showed those ruskies |
