Nothing. Putin isn't doing this if Ukraine had nukes.

We don't pull our regime change bs on countries that have nukes.

Worst mistake Ukraine ever made was giving theirs up

I'm not sure they were "theirs", I'm not sure they even had the ability to maintain them, not even sure what they had the ability to use them? (depending on what they had)

I agree with the rest, countries that don't have nuclear weapons should have thought about developing them a very long time ago.

You never miss an opportunity to put your ignorance of the subject on display, do you?

They’ll all be forgotten by the end of the month they died in. But at least their mothers and wives will get an extra sack of potatoes, some new hand towels, or in extreme instances of “heroism” a used worn out Lada

Don't forget being able to take a photo wearing a fur coat that they can't keep.

Wives of dead Russian soldiers up in arms as fur coat gifts taken back

"Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts" said one woman in a video, holding up a coat, before it was reportedly taken away from her.

Hope this new tech works. Seems the Russians have been jamming both our Excalibur shells and JDAMs for awhile now. *If* it works, the landscape will change significantly for the better.

JDAM-ER Winged Bombs With Seekers That Home In On GPS Jammers Headed To Ukraine

Plans to give Ukraine JDAM-ERs with new seekers come as Western precision-guided munitions are reportedly suffering from Russian GPS jamming.

Wow. I guess this is a good way for us to test them on the battlefield.

Draft-dodging plagues Ukraine as Kyiv faces acute soldier shortage

An early burst of patriotic fervor saw draft centers swamped with volunteers, but that has waned with Vladimir Putin’s war in its third year.

😂 You remember how Bush out together a coalition before desert storm? Only an idiot would not try to use every possible resource.

Use your head.

Speaking of bombs, are any "new" planes headed to the Ukrainian skies anytime soon?

There’s really no way for us to know what will be “ tested” in this proxy war until years down the road when somebody asks the right question on a Freedom of information act . Fun new toy .. look up DARPA’s new “ Manta Ray “ they are finishing up testing on now .

F^^k Patton and MacArthur...

Bonus Army

Army intervention​

At 1:40 pm, General Douglas MacArthur ordered General Perry Miles to assemble troops on the Ellipse immediately south of the White House. Within the hour the 3rd Cavalry led by George S. Patton, then a Major, crossed the Memorial Bridge, with the 12th Infantry arriving by steamer about an hour later. At 4 pm, Miles told MacArthur that the troops were ready, and MacArthur (like Eisenhower, by now in service uniform) said that Hoover wanted him to "be on hand as things progressed, so that he could issue necessary instructions on the ground" and "take the rap if there should be any unfavorable or critical repercussions."

At 4:45 pm, commanded by MacArthur, the 12th Infantry Regiment, Fort Howard, Maryland, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, supported by five M1917 light tanks commanded by Patton, formed in Pennsylvania Avenue while thousands of civil service employees left work to line the street and watch. The Bonus Marchers, believing the troops were marching in their honor, cheered the troops until Patton ordered[citation needed] the cavalry to charge them, which prompted the spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"

Not in any significant numbers to even tell, let alone being able to operate them effectively.

I said long ago, the U.S. could send them 500 of the best planes they have - exactly what would they do with them? Its like all the artillery they have sitting there now getting destroyed. No ammo, no support, running out of meat and probably very low on trained meat.

The war machine is just starting to get going. They need massive amounts of meat at this point, the issue is.... the meat has basically right straight to the grinder. No real training, very little advance training. From the van to the ditch to get artillery in the head.

Not much to this war at this point, the Russians have to resist the temptation of moving too rapidly and overextending their lines. Other than that, what else does someone have?

Ukraine is now producing 'unjammable' FPV drones. Drone development is moving at light speed... I hope our military is up to their eyeballs. The rules of war are being upended.

My goodness gracious, you sound chippy Ivan.

Must have alot of pent up anger over your 3-day "special military operation" with over 500,000 dead and wounded huh!

Wouldn't it be more efficient to just drop all your Russian troops straight into woodchippers?

Everything seems to be the opposite of that other than the middle part, "without risking American lives". Of course, the 1st round of sanctions people were delusional then as they are now.

F the Ukraine, F Germany and F Europe. If that was the goal, I would say the United States has been very successful. If the Ukrainians and Europeans are too stupid to figure this out, maybe they should all be liquidated from the planet.

I see you're still pretending that Russia didn't invade Ukraine.

Literally every post you make originates from a false premise that you maintain with willful ignorance.

Opposite of everything besides not risking American lives? Really? So:

1) This war has not been an intelligence bonanza on Russia and Russian capabilities and lack thereof? The US and the West have learned nothing about Russia capabilities and vulnerabilities? Really?
2) Russia has not been degraded? Are you seriously asserting that with a straight face?
3) The war has been a massive geopolitical loss for the US?
4) What is the best geopolitical win for the US since the Cold War?
