What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?
- Thread starter Blitzkrieg
- Start date
Convicts really don't get paid if you stop and think about it. LOL
I'm reading that Russia is resorting to pulling out 1950s-era battle tanks (T-55s) from storage and shipping them to the battlefronts. Those things are iron coffins against modern weaponry today.....
Yeah I seen that report as well. Crazy.
Supposedly these are being used because the Russians don't have the optics/electronics to fix their more modern tanks.
Kinda doesn't make much difference if you have thousands of convicts and conscripts to use to try and wear down the Ukrainians.
mmm....that seems reasonable...lead the elders to the slaughter

Belarus says it will host Russian nuclear weapons to counter NATO
Belarus on Tuesday confirmed it will host Russian tactical nuclear weapons, saying the decision was a response to years of Western pressure, including sanctions and what it said was a military-build up by NATO member states near its borders.

The prevailing winds in that part of the world blow to the east toward Russia most of the year.
Any possible nuclear fallout would end up in Moscow eventually.
You can't fix stupid, I guess.
NORTHCOM: Russia Close to Persistent Nuclear Cruise Missile Attack Sub Presence off U.S. Coasts - USNI News
Russia could have its most powerful and quiet nuclear attack submarines on persistent patrols off either U.S. Coast in the next two years, the head of U.S. Northern Command told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday. In response to questions from Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) on the threat...

Looks like we're heading toward Cold War 2.0.
It was only a matter of time. This could explain some of what's going on in Ukraine right now & why Russia seems desperate to find some kind of victory.

With the range of today's missiles putting nukes in Belarus seems to be a bit of a moot point. I guess it makes for good headlines though.Belarus says it will host Russian nuclear weapons to counter NATO

It's the Russian way....such swell people.
Yes it is. I hate it for those young Russians that are forced into this madness against their will. It's barbaric.
If the United States really started helping Ukraine, it would be over for Russia.
Iraq had the best of the best Russian military equipment. And we defeated it in 42 days during Desert Storm.
As long as we keep providing weapons, Ukraine will continue to hold off the far larger Russian front.
I really don't see the status over there changing much this year. Look how long Russia stayed in Afghanistan.10 years.
Undercover, we helped Afghanistan back then to block the Russians.
Putin was still in the KGB then and I bet he really knew how much the CIA was helping.
I just don't see the Ukraine conflict ending soon.

You can only conduct armored offensives part of the year. No use in going on the offensive if all your spiffy western armor gets stuck in mud and destroyed.
Wait until all the mud dries up (6-8 weeks).
EDIT:
I did see a sobering assessment tonight about the state of the UA/ZSU. The Ukrainians have lost some of their best people. They are also starting over with lots of green war fighters, while the RA has adapted and gotten better in some areas. A UA/ZSU counteroffensive may not be as successful as those last year in Kharviv & Kherson.

Was it a Ukrainian attack or a hit by Russian military brass who were tired of being criticized by him?
Only the Russian military would have known he was getting an award in St. Petersburg.
