'Do we need to get into another Afghanistan, but even worse? There are more people and they're more advanced in their weapon handling', he said, 'We don't need that. Enough already.' He then added: 'If this picture starts to transform into an absolute humanitarian disaster, even our close allies like China and India will be forced to distance themselves from us. 'This public opinion, with which they're saturating the entire world, can play out badly for us... Ending this operation will stabilise things within the country.' Karen Shakhnazarov, a filmmaker and state pundit, also sought to bust the Kremlin's narrative that it is conducting a limited 'special operation' in the Donbass region by referencing attacks on the capital of Kyiv - which is located hundreds of miles away. 'I have a hard time imagining taking cities such as Kyiv. I can't imagine how that would look,' he said, even as Putin's troops close in on the capital and launch attacks into the outskirts. The Narrative is breaking, Putin will probably do one last desperate attempt to turn the war |

If Tom Clancy was right (30 years ago anyway) the US has trailers on every one of these. Let's hope to god they still do. The Russian R-29M Shtil SLBMs have about the same range as US Minuteman ICBMs, which means the Russians can literally launch from port and hit just about any target in the US. |

If only 10 percent hit their targets thats still twice as many as the current Chinese arsenal. We have no idea what the actual size of the Chinese arsenal is.

Someone posted earlier in this thread that China was building 350 silos for ICBMs that contained 10 MIRV'd warheads each. That alone would be 3500 strategic warheads. I don't know what the West isn't trying to actively engage China in strategic arms reduction talks. |

'Do we need to get into another Afghanistan, but even worse? There are more people and they're more advanced in their weapon handling', he said, 'We don't need that. Enough already.' He then added: 'If this picture starts to transform into an absolute humanitarian disaster, even our close allies like China and India will be forced to distance themselves from us. 'This public opinion, with which they're saturating the entire world, can play out badly for us... Ending this operation will stabilise things within the country.' Karen Shakhnazarov, a filmmaker and state pundit, also sought to bust the Kremlin's narrative that it is conducting a limited 'special operation' in the Donbass region by referencing attacks on the capital of Kyiv - which is located hundreds of miles away. 'I have a hard time imagining taking cities such as Kyiv. I can't imagine how that would look,' he said, even as Putin's troops close in on the capital and launch attacks into the outskirts. The Narrative is breaking, Putin will probably do one last desperate attempt to turn the war That is will be the last time those guests are invited on those shows. The TV stations won't dare piss off the state. The narrative is not breaking, it is just taking time to put a stop to all of the dissenting views. |

Ukraine does NOT use red stars on aircraft or anything else.

Could explain the one that overflew a few NATO nations. NATO thinks a Russian cruise missile or missiles are inbound... I don't know why. I don't know why Russia deciding invading Ukraine was a good idea either. For your question: "I don't know why Russia deciding invading Ukraine was a good idea either." - you need to understand the history of Ukraine and Russia to understand this conflict and even to understand how it will come out militarily. This is a good article: How Moscow hijacked the history of Kyivan Rus’ As far as Russia trying to start a provocation as an excuse to attack, they are experts at red flags and adhere to Lenin's statement that the lie is sacred. The CIA bio labs bullshit is the latest attempt - they said the same thing when they invaded Georgia. All countries have bio labs - the ones in Ukraine are NOT for creating and releasing biological weapons. I posted photos and other evidence of this a day or two ago. |

If so that opens a lot of, not good, possibilities |
