Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stone-age: It seems like this would be an ideal time for Putin to announce that he has kicked the shit out of Ukraine for making noise about joining nato, and that now he is going to take his victorious heros back to Russia for some well earned parades and feasts. Putin ate a bullet and they're trying to figure out how to get out of this mess? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bunn19: I’ve had a bad feeling about this conflict since we started hearing an invasion was imminent. Putin has to be nearly insane to have committed to this invasion to begin with. There were plenty of posters on here in this thread saying it would most likely be a quagmire for Russia and that he didn’t have near enough forces to take Ukraine. The fact that he’s crazy enough to have risked all of this for his country, makes me think he’s crazy enough to fire off a tactical nuke. His speech on Monday confirms he’s not right in the head. Maybe he’s dying of cancer or something. I think this is one of the scariest times for nukes to potentially be used since the Cuban missile crisis or the Able Archer exercise in the early 1980s. seems to be a consensus that whatever Putin has planned, he's going balls deep. The relative quietness of today is somewhat ominous.

Everyone knows you use your most elite troops as POGs whereas Airborne takes the dredges and runts. God forbid Russia sends in a couple BTGs of 92Gs. They'd take Kyiv before sunrise. |

How big will western economies be when they get 60-90% of their energy imports pulled out from under them? Russia and China will never have a combined economy. China's economy is based entirely on selling their slave labor goods to the US. In dollars. Russia's economy is based on selling oil and gas. In dollars. Now that they can't get or send dollars, they're screwed. China is a huge importer of oil and gas that they also pay for in dollars (ours  ).This whole debacle makes no sense for Putin to be doing. Maybe the existing sanctions were becoming too much and he invaded to kick the snot out of somebody and then negotiate an end to the sanctions if Russia pulls out of Ukraine. I'm pretty sure at this point whatever plan he had has evaporated. Hopefully, this will end Russia being considered a world power. |
