War in Ukraine

[Rasputin_Vol]

Is he saying, “if anyone negotiates peace between Ukraine and Russia other than the US, we won’t accept it?”

But Ukraine is a sovereign nation that can make their own decisions. That is the whole point of NATO arming and supporting them in the first place.

Nothing says "I'm not a war criminal" like blowing up the court for war crimes.

Meanwhile... not a tweet, but a complete doctrine being spelled out.

That’s my point. If Xi gets Putin and Zelensky to agree on a ceasefire, what say do we have in that??

Why do we need to have a say in the first place? Why are we even involved in a border dispute in eastern Europe?

I guess that’s the gazillion US dollar question.

Yes

 

[BreatheUT]

Absolutely. The U.S., Japan, South Korea, Australia, and India need to prepare now. Wartime production for equipment, ammunition, & vehicles.

It's probably why the military is getting rid of those Woke leftist enlistment commercials. Ain't signing up enough gays, trans or democrats to join. It's not funny anymore. I think they've already ruined the military reputation for a generation if the person wasn't already enlisted.

Ruined in what way?
Perception? .
Wgaf what the rest of the world thinks??
We'll still kick any country's assor destroy it if need be.

And I still don't think they are being intellectually honest about the root causes.

If you're calling it clown talk, it must be pretty accurate.

Nope it's absolutely stupid ****

But Ukraine is a sovereign nation that can make their own decisions. That is the whole point of NATO arming and supporting them in the first place.

Which is why no one should expect them to take Russia and China working out the peace terms seriously.

Something to keep an eye on is the growing tension once against between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Politicians in Azerbaijan have started laying the groundwork for a renewed military operation against Armenia and are open to using military force to achieve its objectives. Which experts are saying is the establishment of the:

Zangezur corridor - Wikipedia

This could cause a wider regional and perhaps international conflict because it could draw in Iran and Israel and perhaps even Turkey to a degree. Both countries are preparing because military convoys have been seen moving in both countries. Just another byproduct of Russia's failed invasion is more instability.

Uh, I thought you guys were arguing that Putin's support was hurt because he wasn't violent enough in prosecuting the war?

Problem is you dont read what we write, you read what your think we wrote. When talking about the possible overthrow of Putin, I said the greatest chance of that will come from those who think he has been too weak not too strong.

 

[volgr]

both sides will use a ceasefire to rearm and readjust.

Russia has no need for a ceasefire. They have hundreds of thousands of now well trained troops ready to deploy if needed. Ukraine has a bunch of citizens they grabbed off the street and throw on the frontlines. It is amazing how badly you guys are reading the situation over there.

 

[volgr]

That is idiotic, but fear is what moves the needle.

You’re right. China will likely make a move on Taiwan regardless of the outcome of Ukraine.

 

[volgr]

I am glad you moved the goalpost so fast. You went from the Russians being outnumbered, to the Russians not having a 3:1 advantage. and I am going to need you to quote something showing the numbers here, because again, the worst I could find was Russia had a 2:1 advantage.

I am going to need you to source that 3:1 number. I can't think of any modern conflict where an attacker required 3:1 odds to take an objective.

In an urban environment like Mariupol, probably needs to be higher than even 3:1...but I gave the lower number and of course you balk at even that.

 

[utvolpj]

It says China is going to invade the US if we don't stop Ukraine. That's just dumb

I think Vietnam and the Gulf Wars did far more to hurt enlistment than the tranny stuff (although it certainly isn't helping either). What parent in their right mind would allow their child to enlist and put their life in the hands of these scumbag corrupt politicians?

I thought when we said “make a move on the US” he was referring to China attacking our ships/troops in the Pacific. I agree if he was referring to an actual US invasion that would be dumb.

I've seen some grizzly videos of Azerbaijani soldiers who tried to one-up Russia against Armenian POWs.

Either way. Pretty sure this guy has terrible prediction history

If they're trained as well as the last wave they better bring a fleet of backhoes with them.
