Quoted: The U.S. doesn't need to send troops to Ukraine, but I'd be all for arming them to the teeth and flooding the market with cheap fracked oil and gas to damage the Russian economy. View Quote |

Um. We already have a few troops there, I believe. An Air Force colonel died in a training accident in October. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

How long would it take the Ukraine to spin up a nuke program? Is there any useable infrastructure left?

Quoted: According to her Wikipedia page, she thinks Ukraine should be a dictatorship and should accept Russian annexation of Crimea. You sure she isn't a Russian troll? Her role models as leaders are Pinochet, Reagan, Merkel, Mandela, and Thatcher. Lol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadiya_Savchenko View Quote |

As I said before, 4 pages (or whatever number we're at now), and not a single one of you has any clue as to what happened. Military ships can't cross another country's waters unannounced. They didn't cross international waters. They crossed Russian waters. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

In for the Nothingburger.
Ukraine is high and dry regardless of some memorandum. No one is going to lift a finger in use of force against Russia. I doubt they even have the balls to use force. They know they will get their shot pushed in without help....although I’d love to see Russkie get it’s nose bloodied. |

Quoted:
How long would it take the Ukraine to spin up a nuke program? Is there any useable infrastructure left? View Quote The trick is to make any further incursion cost more than Putin can afford. Damage his economy by lowering the global price of oil and gas. Give Ukraine some first rate ATGMs and ManPads so that Russia is guaranteed to lose more tanks and aircraft than she can afford to replace. And if Russia does invade, she's guaranteed to face a well equipped and motivated insurgent force. There are plenty of people in the Russian military that remember what that cost in Afghanistan. |

Quoted:
That would force Russia's hand. They'd mount a conventional invasion at high cost. Right now they are trying to eat the elephant one bite at a time, as Putin can't really afford the loss of men and equipment that a full scale invasion would entail. But if Ukraine started a nuke program Russia would suck it up. The trick is to make any further incursion cost more than Putin can afford. Damage his economy by lowering the global price of oil and gas. Give Ukraine some first rate ATGMs and ManPads so that Russia is guaranteed to lose more tanks and aircraft than she can afford to replace. And if Russia does invade, she's guaranteed to face a well equipped and motivated insurgent force. There are plenty of people in the Russian military that remember what that cost in Afghanistan.

Somebody get me up to speed real quick. What is Russia's interest in Ukraine? Why do they want it? Crimea kinda made sense but why the rest?

In for eventual dead Russians. We only killed a few hundred in Syria, and that's just an abysmally low number considering how awesome it is to see dead Russians. Russia's declining suicide rate is truly tragic. For a good a while the steadily declining birth rate and insane suicide rate gave me immense joy.
August 12th, 2000 was one of the happiest days of my life. Can't wait to Russia finally overstep and get pummeled like they deserve. Could this finally be it? Only problem is the Russian Navy is such a joke that the possibility of casualties is quite low. They simply don't have the men, ships, or subs to actually achieve the hilarious foul-ups that normally lead to lots of dead Russians. My appetite won't be satiated until dead Russians are stacked like kindling on a tarmac, after being unloaded from multiple cargo planes. Can't wait to see what kind of military accident or hilarious mistake Russia makes. |

Quoted: Putin's trying to get the band back together. He wants to be a superpower again and is too thick to understand that he needs a stout economy to achieve that. An economy that isn't run by him and his kleptomaniac buddies. He thinks being a superpower means having more geographical size. View Quote |

All that shore is Russia, or Russian occupied. It is 100 miles to the nearest Ukrainian controlled coastline. Ukraine did just test an indigenous Anti Ship Missile but that would kind of be an act of war. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Based on the ranges, those Russian ships would be easy with a ship to ship missile in box truck on the shore. Jus sayin Ukraine did just test an indigenous Anti Ship Missile but that would kind of be an act of war. |

Quoted:
World power is first economic..I agree. That's why I'm asking what the consensus here is on the motivations.

They have big energy reserves or access that Russia doesn't? That's the only thing that makes sense. The fact is that Putin is just too fucking stupid to understand that he needs a vibrant manufacturing and technology base to be a credible superpower these days. Or he understands it but is unwilling to forego the personal gain he and his friends enjoy by basically stealing from anyone that starts any business that makes any significant profit, which is the major obstacle in the way of Russia achieving those economic goals. |
