War in Ukraine

[newokie03]

@Rasputin_Vol come out and defend your hero. We are all waiting for your justification.

 

[Burhead]

Air raid sirens going off in Lviv.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Come on don't be ridiculous.

Too late friend

 

[Vol423]

Too late to sell Ukraine anything or fortify it. Putin calculated sanctions before embarking. Like all strongmen, his populace is a repository for suffering where sanctions go to die.

He just struck a deal to sell 100 million tons of coal to China to offset sanctions.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Let's hope this is just "Fog of War" setting in

Exactly. There’s no way they took the airport that quickly.

If that report is true, the Silos are up.

Looks like, as usual, I was correct. The massive Fup in Afghanistan showed the wolves (and bears) of this world that the fire of the West is burning low and its a good time to flex their muscles and pick off stragglers.

Everyone is thinking this is going to drag on with insurgency for years. I am not an expert in that geo but my prediction - war will be over within 30 days. Ukraine gov will collapse in a week (if not days) as everyone gets the hell out of dodge with corrupt money - while Russia pays generals to leave or turn. Lower commanders will not fight when facing juggernaut who is telling them - "brothers, we will pay you 2x as much - welcome back to mother Russia". They are not going to die for nothing and leadership will be gone. Could be wrong but I think more this way than months of fighting. Putin will be swift and crushing both as a demonstration of Russia power and before the ground thaws.

Taiwan is pissing their pants about now

 

[Carl Pickens]

Showing the world how pussified you’ve become

 

[Gandalf]

Let's hope this is just "Fog of War" setting in

Only if thee was fighting. What if the commander there was paid to flip?

 

[volinbham]

will we stand with Taiwan?

Eric Swalwell tweeted out that Republicans are rooting for Russia. This is why people believe liberal left democrats are completely insane.

 

[NCFisher]

You think him to be a good POTUS. He was hated by the majority. You can debate the reasons why. But it's the truth.

It's hyperbole to imply a vote cast against is hatred, rather than preferring another candidate. You know better.

Americans were doing damned well until the pandemic. Media and tech drew a protective ring around Biden and literally sequestered him into the WH. Biden voters polling in swing states report not knowing:

Every Dem voter is not a VN participant, nor a vile, Marxist leftist who did 'hate' Trump. But they were some of the most uninformed, ignorant people to possibly ever grace the polls. And you don't temporarily hate someone; Trump leads any Democrat projected for 2024.

Which seems like a victory to Putin this evening doesn’t it?

Exactly. The chattering class is saying calling Biden weak emboldens/helps Putin, and that doing so is giving aid/comfort to Putin.
As if Russia, Iran, China need Republicans to verify their own eyesight.

 

[NEO]

will we stand with Taiwan?

Before or After the silicon plant goes online here?

Don’t think they move prior to that but afterwards they strike fast and we sanction but not much more.

That is unless the Ukraine situation goes down fast and easy and maybe they take the gamble now abs try.

I still think they move right towards the end of the Biden tenure.

Well, we know when Russia and China weren't invading other countries.

 

[vol66]

Well, we know when Russia and China weren't invading other countries.

And the point of invading Ukraine now is?

 

[AM64]

will we stand with Taiwan?

Certainly hope so.

[NEO]

still seems to be incursions rather than Blitzkreig - wonder what Putin's strategy is

This is a valid point. They have the country flanked and could clearly take the capital but they haven’t yet. It almost seems like something other than what we think we are seeing is actually happening.


If they end up not attacking something very coordinated just went down on a global scale.


How do you prop up a failing President that is helping destroy the country from the inside? You create a fake boogeyman for him to stop.

My last paragraph is complete lunacy but this is going weird so far.

 

[newokie03]

@Pacer92 your presence is requested to defend your savior Vlad

 

[newokie03]

Heck no

 

[BreatheUT]

Analysts think Putin's threats to us are cyber related. Yet Pete Buttigieg is worried around racist bridges. These dem's. Boy oh boy.
