Yeh.
Although fortunately a president Biden has spoken for NATO in very clear terms.
Also I believe Putin is not insane enough to order an armageddon . Mass nuclear strike against the us and other western powers.
The talk was about whether he'd drop one. Or two (or any at all)
And also raises...
Yeh but risking ww3 is totally worth it . /S
It isn't worth it.
Worst case. Putin uses a nuke.
Say there is no response.
But Ukraine continues resistance.
Then Putin drops a second one.
Then what?
Blow up the world?
So Putin is stopped ?
Gtfo fools.
You'll be the king's of a dead...
cannot tell you how relieved and the good feeling I had when I saw the photo of Biden in the oval office for the first time.
that's all I'll say on that. :) -as an outside living in Australia.
How's it supposed to be working ???
Drone wars ?
I assume some peace thing will happen when Putin has lost enough material.
Hopefully sooner.
For now it is a meat grinder. Like all wars. :-/
Is that Putin's method ?
Roasting people alive for jeopardising his security ?
Eat a bag of d.
Refer senator Lindsay Graham of south Carolina saying Putin should be assassinated.
Er um I think in reality Russia has to sort it....
Fwiw.
I never thought Russia would take all of Ukraine .
As I said b4
Where is the line going to be drawn ?
Wherever Russia can consolidate.
there are gas fields in eastern ukraine.
Funny I was thinking this this morning.
Reframe the reality.
_______
As for drones, how many operators Ukraine have ? Easy to train ?.
Potentially thousands of them.
What is Russia using for bombardment ?
Ranges etc. Some from the Azov sea right? (In the east)
What is the deployment of...
Putin obviously has people skills.
So did Hitler.
They position themselves within the social heirarchy. No one lives in a vacuum.
So the not so little tyrant threatens armageddon and blows up civilians.
A step backwards to familiar territory . I think this is a step backwards for human...
a 'mini stalingrad' moment (reversed) for the russians there?
more and more embarassing defeat moments for da russian army.
im morbidly fascinated yet horrified. i find this whole invasion lip curlingly unpleasant. i reckon if i'd had the option i would have fled the country. or at least...
i think it is as simple as that. and is consistent .
in chess you sacrifice pieces and attack. the more aggressive the attack the quicker the game is concluded. and russia has far more material to sacrifice than ukraine does.
dropping a nuke has not been excluded as a possibility.
zelensky is...
maybe the russian military will implode in abject failure. which erodes putin's position.
either that or escalate the carnage.
depends how many pawns , including military equipment putin is willing to sacrifice. chess is a popular game in russia.
he wont attack a nato country. but imo ukraine can be literally boiled into oblivion and the west still won't act militarily against russian 'sovereign' territory (ie declare war on russia) putin sees ukraine as forfeit , imo.
and the west cannot afford to declare war on russia. due to the...
or nuclear.... what? , a lead lined parasol?
many countries did nuclear tests....
there were Hundreds of tests.
https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/nucleartesttally
russia still has over 6000 nukes.
supposedly. even if not accurate it's enough to end the world as we know it. :-/
i...
there is a difference though. in the number of nukes the country has.
in my opinion.
at least that has been an often used message that smaller nations ie. with less nukes could be utterly obliterated before causing (too much) damage elsewhere.
it is still a horrific prospect obviously...
Remember when the us assassinated bin Ladin?
Is Putin's whereabouts known?
If any nuke is exploded in Ukraine.
Then what ?
Consider surrender of Ukraine ?
Or escalate to assassinate Putin ?
I'd be motivated to cut the head off the snake .
No doubt if it got to that stage Putin would be...
living like cockroaches in a fallout shelter ?
Always ?
This isn't 1945.
Unfortunately . The messaging needs to be clearly no nukes. It is unfortunate that they even exist at all.
mutual bleeding. the bear is bigger, despite its losses.
anywho. what can they do. a regime under russia for a ukranian is not going to be pleasant is it...
Forgetting bojo, but on the topic of EU membership . Does Europe (the EU) really want to join the war against Russia ?
Seems as though the topic of EU member and NATO member already discussed.
An EU member state being under attack means that the EU is obliged to give direct aid ?
yes interesting times. we'll see how long that lasts. i hope you've prepped your investments into high dividend yield stocks.
be interesting too the effects of this on the USD.
just as well we have these sanctions . australian mining companies are reaping export dollars like crazy right...
but think of the inflation. 'we' or those that do so anyway, love inflation. it increases unit prices for the rich.
<3
commodities are thru the roof right now. increasing dividends.
the rich can rake it in. and the little people will have to economise. until they get used to it.
not to...
China does not manufacture all the high tech. componentry then. give it time.
the longer trade warz and angst continues the more likely theyll go it alone. for whatever they can get away with. outside of u.s. / western controlled supply chains.
can see this already in various non western...

might have been mentioned before.
but dronewarz ftw?
=====
I do wonder though whether the russian military complex - assuming they have one is still churning out material; i have no idea of its production limitations at the moment, for all the...
Who is paying for all this high tech weaponry ?
Oh. , Right, you are . The fed is anyway I suppose .
But hey it does the job. Neutralising invaders is the job right now.
Keep a level head. & Be vigilant.

oyeah baby. blitzkrieg and the master race.
(oh i was beaten to the punch by the previous post XD)
'NATO condemns Russia's actions in the strongest possible terms'.
That's NATos official blurb
I guess you can keep Ukraine troops as well supplied as possible. (Dead Russians as mentioned)
One modern nuke (on a densely populated city) will kill around 1 million within 2 weeks (inclusive of...
If only they could get rid of Putin. A new set of cronies and a new leader, with some fresh objectives might improve their situation. If the west is reasonable.
Otherwise this Orwellian shit may go on and on. Not just in Ukraine but in Russia as well. That sphincter of a military...
Seems consistent with past / present actions.
As for political rhetoric, people either swallow it or they don't. Anti Putin sentiments are harshly dealt with in Russia.
The joys of despotism. :-/
US Congress passed its 13b USD aid bill.
As for the NATO which iirc is dominated by us military...

russians killing civilians.
also, Mariupol, 1200 odd civilian bodies have been found (dead) in the streets as the result of shelling etc. according to one recent article I read...
despite putin's lame rhetoric, Russia, unlike in ww2, has not been attacked, nor threatened by ukraine or nato or europe. with imminent invasions etc. so in terms of a national imperative to defeat a perilous enemy. we have the situation as it is now. where putin for his reasons (tenure...
