What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?
- Thread starter Blitzkrieg
- Start date
It's now becoming a war of logistics. The west is pumping supplies into Ukraine & RU cannot match it.
RU has already lost so much and still is taking a beating from the UKR tactics.
But don't think Putin is going down without a fight.
Essentially a present-day version of the 600-ship-navy strategy which broke Russia back to end the Cold War.
Something like this:
Putin is making the same mistakes that doomed Hitler when he invaded the Soviet Union

Revenge and hate are very powerful factors. Putin certainly has united Ukrainians.
I believe this conflict will be very similar to Desert Shield and Desert Storm once the atrocities committed by the Russians in Kiev have light shed upon them in the wake of the Russians' retreat/redeployment.
We are in the Desert Shield equivalent now, but my gut tells me the Storm part will happen before June if the upcoming talks in Turkey fail.
I hope it doesn't, but that's what my gut tells me.

Ukrainian civilians being found as Russia retreats with their hands bound and executed. This is Nazi level barbaric behavior, the UN should be issuing daily statements that these war crimes will be punished.
T
Truely barbaric images and reports coming out of areas where the Russians have retreated.
There is video evidence of some of this.
The talks will likely fail with UKR left with having to drive the RU out completely. Bucha has changed everything.
The amount of combat skilled volunteers from multiple countries fighting for UKR is amazing.
The drone/ATGM/mortar/artillery ambushes the Ukrainian forces are performing continue to be stunning. And the volume of destroyed/abandoned RU equipment being found as the RU retreats is still hard to grasp.
Not just Nazi behavior but par for the course in terms of Russian behavior in WW2 as well...ask the Poles how they feel about Russia
One day shy of 6 weeks:

The below video has been confirmed as legit from 2-3 days ago. Approximately 50 RU vehicles destroyed in a UKR artillery strike.
Extended Russian Ukraine Invasion has Stranded Merchant Mariners, Crippled Wheat Production - USNI News
Nearly six weeks into the war in Ukraine, merchant ships in the Black Sea have become stranded, halting the import and export of vital commodities, a situation that could have wide-ranging impacts on the global economy. With the Black Sea blockaded by Russia and Ukraine placing mines around its...

Ukraine would be better off staying out of the NATO for a few years to let things calm down assuming this thing ends soon. When Putin is removed from office would be a good time to explore that option but not now.
Well Russia is now sending mercenaries into Ukraine as their losses mount. This is yet another tactical blunder on their part. The training of these mercenaries is probably minimal and they are used to attacking unarmed populations more so than attacking a well trained and well armed military force that Ukraine is deploying that's also steeled with a hatred of Russia and this invasion.
There are already documented problems with Russian communications and now they're going to add language barriers to the mix. Also I don't know what these mercenaries have been promised but the Russians can't even seem to supply their own forces yet alone mercenaries.
A couple of days of not getting food and or water and supplies could even turn mercenaries against Russia if they feel they are being slighted concerning food and war supplies. This is also goig to cost the Russians much more money than paying their mostly conscript Army. This is just more evidence of what a colossal failure this has been.

You can't fix stupid.
-Can't fix their logistics debacle
-Soldiers refusing to fight
-Comms are on unsecured lines
-Soldiers contaminated from digging trenches at Chernobyl
They only things they seem to be somewhat good at is destroying buildings and killing innocent people.
