Desperate? Do you think Zelensky has people trying to assassinate Putin? It is war, are you kidding?

What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley takes out Russian T-80 tank in video
Washington has so far provided Kyiv with a total of 186 Bradleys to support its military in the war against Russia.

Frankly at this point I'm surprised Russians aren't trying to assassinate Putin.
Unfortunately, things are not going well for the UAF/ZSU. The Ruskies have had too much time and resources to rebuild and take another stab at invading more of Ukraine. There were a lot of things posted on Twitter/X the first year of the that would imply this would end badly for RU, but just like in WWII, the Ruskies rebuild/rearm and make a comeback. The RU can outproduce the west in arty shells 3-1, which is the main weapon of this war.
This is now a purely political/dictator driven conflict, as the Ruskies destroy anything they conquer while being financed by cheap oil to China & India.
But make no mistake, the RU has taken lots of losses. They continue to be willing to sacrafice thousands of lives for the political ambitions of Putin. And for now, they are constantly enduring daily strikes from Ukrainain drones and western donated weapons.
If I was the US CINC, I'd make sure we are overloaded with bombs, bombs, & more bombs; because we might need them.

Congress stalling on the aide package for 6 months certainly did not help the situation for Ukraine.
The EU should be doing MUCH more IMO. They have the most to lose.
Robert Fico: Suspect charged with attempted murder of Slovak PM
Robert Fico's condition is still "very serious" after he was shot several times on Wednesday.

Fico is a pro-Russian guy.
I wouldn't be surprised if Putin was behind this attempt. Although he tends to poison his enemies.
Don't disagree
And apparently the NATO CINC thinks the Ruskies are incapable of making a huge advance. Hopefully the UAF/ZSU can hold on until fresh ammo arrives.
I guess there is a slim chance of some kind of peace agreement, but that infuriates me.

Top NATO commander says Russian troop numbers insufficient for Kharkiv breakthrough
NATO's top commander said on Thursday he did not believe Russia's military has deployed enough troops to make a strategic breakthrough in the region around Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine. General Christopher Cavoli, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe, said he was confident Ukrainian forces...
Production of 155mm arty shells has been an uphill struggle for everyone. I think the EU/NATO countries are making progress.
Supposedly there's a lot of 155mm shells in the pipeline. Let's hope Ukraine can hold out because I don't believe Putin will stop there if he succeeds in Ukraine.
Zelensky has gotten as much military support from us as anybody in his position could up to this point, but I have also wondered if he has been sandbagging on the ground war side to get as much as he can from us in the short term.
When the draft age in Ukraine was lowered from 27 to 26 years of age, it made me start to think along those lines since Ukraine seems to be leaving a lot of manpower on the table with the high draft age requirements.
Moscow and Tehran are really causing a lot of problems now and I'll just leave it at that. The planners of the October 7th attacks knew what Israel's response would be if lots of innocent civilians were attacked and taken hostage. The college protests are mainly about the high civilian casualties in Gaza, but it still comes back to the planners of the October 7th attacks in Israel intentionally targeting innocent civilians. A deliberate effort to undermine the leadership of Israel and its allies.
Pro-Palestine protesters taking Jewish students hostage in a college dorm somewhere would be no different than what happened at Munich Olympic Games campus in the 1970s. That's what these clueless college presidents don't understand right now. You can't fix stupid.
Things are just a dang mess right now. The more things change the more they stay the same. I don't watch much of the news these days. I mainly pray for the innocent on all sides.

And someone said this is not a political conflict while stating it would be over real quick if we fund it.... 
How has that worked out, war with rules lol and it's not funny at all!!
Russia, Russia, Russia the enemy that was no more until they decided to give them credence to win an election the world was at PEACE, the Middle East was stable but man what a foreign relations genius we have in office now! Weird how one can tell a country they will not fund them if they use them in Gaza or use them in Russia but none of that was passed by congress... that is quid pro...
Still no Peace talks just people fighting to there death for what?
What evidence or pattern makes you think Putin would invade a country besides Ukraine or not stop with just Ukraine, what evidence shows he wants to take over Ukraine and not just the territories he has and is just defending those because WE continue to fight and kill Russians?
You think Putin wants to take over the world? Putin wants to bring back the Soviet Union? Who gave Iran and Korea finances back to fund them and why are we not getting involved with this? The same with China and India?

Iran's president and foreign minister die in helicopter crash at moment of high tensions in Mideast
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and several other officials were found dead on Monday, hours after their helicopter crashed, state media reported.

Karma's a bitch ain't it.
Start a war that results in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians and look what happens to you. God made the fog and we'll leave it at that.
Putin and several of his minions have publicly stated their intention to invade other countries after they subdue Ukraine. They have specifically mentioned Poland as well as taking back Alaska.And someone said this is not a political conflict while stating it would be over real quick if we fund it....

I would assume most of this is just saber rattling especially considering how bad things have gone for them in Ukraine. That being said when someone says they plan on attacking you I believe you should take the threat seriously.
When and to who? I have never heard and remember the opposite, if I Google it I find one quote from Zelensky concerning a Rusdian General... Putin in the Carlson interview stated the total opposite, he has also publicly stated numerous times he will not attack/invade NATO countries
We have to.
The Russians signed the agreement with Ukriaine years ago when the nucs were removed from Ukraine. Look where it got the Ukrainians.
This threat is the reason NATO was created years ago. Hard to believe it's now circled back around.
Russians doing Russian sh_t.
"butcher of Tehran"...

Valid points. Hard to imagine those draft ages when we drafted 19 yr olds.
Part of the ground war problem goes both ways. Neither side can advance without getting chewed up by drones.
Seems the RA advance on Karkiv is being stopped by relentless drone strikes by the UAF/ZSU.
