I'm not Putin, so I don't know if there will be an invasion. He's certainly expressed his concerns about Ukraine, along with the consequences if it keeps trending away from Russia. A bunch of external factors such as the Bejing relationship, POTUS, cash reserves, neutered GER/FRA, military overmatch make me personally believe that if Putin wants to take Ukraine, he'll never get a better opportunity than now. |

View Quote Who is going to hit him hard? Ukraine will pit up a fight and it will be a bloody mess, but Ukraine isn't stopping them. If it does actually pop off and Russia decides to go for Kiev, they will take it. There will be tens of thousands dead. I think Ukraine will put up a good fight, but they are just overmatched here. Russia is then going to "control" Ukraine, and have to deal with Urban insurgencies. The cost of that is probably too high for Putin and Russia, but who the fuck knows. The most likely and logical scenario is taking chunks of land in Eastern Ukraine. That would still be a disaster for all involved. |

Russian propaganda is spinning up too:
So, we have forces massing near the border continuously (with some possibly re-shuffling, which could be a bid to throw off the OSINT folks), yesterday's cyber attacks, and atrocity propaganda spinning up about Donbas....this looks like war getting ready to start. (Admittedly, maybe Russia just WANTS us to think that). |

I'm hoping things kick off soon, I'm not pro-war but I really believe the only way to solve the Putin problem is to hit him really hard otherwise he will keep harassing the world and funding thugs. View Quote There are very few ways this can play out where Russia loses. If I know Putin's actual motives I could make a more accurate assessment for win/loss but there are a few main points. Putin clearly has some kind of goal, if it's primarily take and hold all of Ukraine, well, that may or may not happen and it will be dependent on ow much stomach the west actually has to see that Russia doesn't take all of Ukraine. Putin has already won on the front of strength and relevancy, there's been a lot of bluster from the west, some arms fortification but nothing put up that says it will be able to stop an invasion from happening, maybe make it costly for Russia but Putin has shown so far that Russia can do what Russia wants to do. If Putin is after water for Crimea, he may get that without taking any more land, in which case he wins Russia may gain more control over enough of eastern Ukraine to secure the water for Crimea, also a win. If Russia invades and gains on those two goals even if they are contingencies of a ceasefire, then Russia wins. If Russia invades and NATO goes all in and fails to push Russia back, then Russia wins. If NATO opts for a "limited response" Russia wins by making the west look weak. I'm sure China is watching all of this with amusement, the weaker the west looks the closer they are to gaining hegemony. So any way that Russia wins, China also wins. If it starts to look like it's really going to get out of hand and China steps in to mediate, then both Russia and China win. One of the things I'm expecting to see is a push from Biden to force Ukraine to give up land and water for Crimea in exchange for not invading. This will be claimed as a "victory" by the Biden admin by avoiding war, but it's really still a win for Russia. |

Yanukovych was democratically elected and was overthrown by a coup orchestrated by Victoria Nuland. That's a fact. It doesn't excuse Russia's actions and current threats. But it is a fact LOL! Not exactly. Yanukovych was the "communist lite" Party of Regions candidate which was directly funded by the Kremlin in an orchestrated and corrupt election - The Communist Party of Ukraine (also Kremlin supported) also backed Yanukovych. Paul Manafort was his campaign manager (through his consulting firm) and was paid to get him in on behalf of the Kremlin. When Yanukovych took office, he instituted the takeover for Putin which included (but not limited to): changing school curriculum to reflect Russian history and erase parts of Ukrainian history, changing the national language from Ukrainian to Russian and Ukrainian, cut all military modernization cooperation projects with the USA, etc. and what sparked the revolution to oust the Russian agent Yanukovych was when he stated that Russian troops would occupy several Ukrainian military bases for "cooperation" purposes. At the about same time, Manafort, acting as Trump's campaign manager, attended the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and he and his team stunned the Republican committee when they opened up a meeting calling for the Republican Party's stance on arming Ukraine with lethal high-tech weapons to change from favorable to unfavorable. After Yanukovych was ousted, yes Nuland and company did butt in and manipulate Ukrainian politics (and I did not like that at all), but this is not what caused the ouster of Yanukovych. Afterwards, hundreds of Kremlin-bought Ukrainian agents in the government were thrown out and prosecuted and the Ukrainian Communist Party was disbanded, BUT the Party of Regions still exists - NOTE: former Ukrainian Poroshenko, the Ukrainian billionaire, is now under indictment for high crimes due to dealing behind the scenes with Russia on energy issues. Poroshenko was a founder of the Party of Regions (whose founding purpose was to break Ukraine up into more autonomous oblasts/fracture the country hence the name "Regions"). Parts of Donetsk and Luhansk obalsts (in the Donbass area) were taken over with Russian military help and Kremlin strategy NOT by a bunch of freedom-loving micro ethnicities. Millions fled those areas - if they were so freedom loving with Ukraine's government being "so oppressive" , then millions would have flocked there, didn't happen. The Russian Communist Party is the largest backer of these fake "republics" (just look at their vote from yesterday) and communists from many countries went there to fight for them BECAUSE THEY ARE COMMUNIST. Funny how there was no discontent in any other oblast in the middle of the country or anywhere else. I know, I worked in the defense industry at the time and was working with them before this went down (been to the embassy more than a couple of times). I'm half Ukrainian, speak the language, and have studied Ukrainian history since the 1970s. |

Interesting. But don't MEDEVAC birds fly with red crosses on them? Could just be a temporary designation, I suppose. [edit]- Oh, wait... that says Polish border. The video was supposedly on the Romanian border. Still, I guess it is more confirmation that Black Hawks are operating on the Ukrainian border. |
