What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?
- Thread starter Blitzkrieg
- Start date
crossed our border...
OK. Whatever dude.Yeah a communist controlled social media, newspaper and media has told them this... How many Ukraine deaths is Russia reporting to its people I wonder...
so Putin wouldn't have them killed for going against his wishes and reporting on social media
come on they don't have a clue!
If Russia is reporting they have lost 50-85,000, based on inheritance claims and they are reporting 500,000 while asking for billions of dollars what do you think the realistic number is...
So they lost 500,000 troops to Ukraine and are planning attacks on other countries, I just don't get it.
They lost somewhere between 22 - 27 million in WWII. Life is cheap in Russia. Don't forget that Putin is a former KGB guy and they were/are ruthless.
Finland allows Ukraine to strike Russia with Finnish weapons
Finland has not imposed any restrictions regarding Ukraine’s strikes on Russia’s territory with weapons that it handed over to Ukrainian troops.

Roger that, he resigned as a Lt Col and KGB agent from the Army the year the Soviet Union was dissolved so I get the paranoia and understand a man at 71 may want to bring his country back to what it once was but nothing in his political service or leadership has really given me that impression other than media outlets... Russia has never been more western than it was under Putin, he has been steadfast to his political and ideological beliefs, not much different than Saudi Arabia
imo

I hear you, but there was a speech he gave on Russian television not long after the Ukraine invasion where he said he wanted to bring the old Soviet Union back.
Would love that quote, I have read many things and studied it some. It is my understanding his comments on the Soviet Union had to do with Soviet Ukraine, the Ukrainian Civil War and corruption around the riches left by the Soviet Union in Ukraine and how Nationalism led to much of this corruption... I read the transcript and did not get that out of the speech, the facts of his speech concerning Ukraine and it not being an independent state before Lenin are very debatable as well as a few other comments in his rant but I didn't read him say anything that resembled bringing back the Soviet Union of the Russian Republic
Vladimir Putin: The rebuilding of ‘Soviet’ Russia
The world was stunned when Russia invaded Crimea, but should it have been, asks author and journalist Oliver Bullough.

He grew up in Leningrad in the former Soviet Union. That's the prestige he wants to return to.
Russia was perceived by some as a quasi-ally with us before the stuff in Ukraine happened.
For example, take the plot of this movie that came out in 2018.
In the movie, we try to rescue a Putin-like Russian president after a coup attempt.

I never saw it, but it looks like a pretty good movie to me.

At the end of the new Cold War day, any military action between the U.S. and Russia will come down to nuclear submarine combat, just like it would have in the first Cold War, which the Soviets lost.
So, the more things change, the more they remain the same.

So Putin is an enemy to America as well and a threat to try and take us over, is that what we're saying? So the party of inclusion creates 2 enemies, Trump and Putin just like that when one was a quasi-ally and the other a quasi-president....crazy movie!
I want the 80's to call with that foreign policy back I guess, strange times! I heard a narrative of Putin that sounds like the Cold War...
All kidding aside Mitt Romney was right and what does that say about it all...

Vigo would kill them if they didn't call it that. LOL
Is Putin becoming unhinged? Desperate? Desperate dictators are prone to do something rash. I hope not.
