Someone needs to remind those assholes that the USSR supplied weapons to North Vietnam for a decade while we were engaged against them.

And the further they extend their unprotected supply lines, the more likely they get lit up and starved out. Every report of the RA invading a village and there is widespread looting of food. They're hungry because their logistics blow ass.

The literal meaning of 'decimated' is 10% casualties, and 'complete' is not a modifier that rationally applies to 'decimated'. If they have ~150,000 total troops in theater and they have ~15,000 casualties, that is literally decimated.

Nothing seems to suggest it even has to do with anything related to Russia, just violating human rights which is very subjective. Yeah the Canadian truckers are the perfect example. This bill could allow Biden to sanction such freedom protestors.

Would have been nice to get a clean bill just putting the screws to Russia. Maybe you would have only had 1 dissenter then.

The various geopolitics videos posted throughout the last 100 pages suggest China is almost as screwed as Russia demographically, and even more so than Russia resource wise. Hard to know what they might do, but supporting Russia now could see them cut off from oil and food, which would see famine in China within months.

It all depends on what China thinks their own future path to survival looks like. Like Russia their demographics suggest they only have a very small window of time to wage war and expand territory too before their population collapses.

You don't get it at all.


The very reason NATO hasn't and can't help their little sister Ukraine is because if we do it will end in a nuclear exchange.

When two opponents got to war they use the tools they have and if equal there are no pulled punches by the losing party.

If NATO had no Nukes then there would be zero hesitation in stomping the Orcs.

Literally the only reason we haven't gotten in this fray is because we are nuclear.

A pact of nonnuclear countries could gang up on even Russia. Russia would still face nuclear attack by us if they used them but their justification for first use would be gone.
 

Had those stated countries been in a formal alliance Russia would have never invaded Ukraine.
We'll see.  What you're saying is rational, and it make sense.  But Russia has resorted to bringing in Syrian mercenaries.  Why?  Russia sent their A team in, thinking they were going to blitzkrieg right through the country, ran out of gas, ammo, and fighting spirit, and now they're bringing in people from a place where you have to tell people not to wipe their butts with their bare hands.   That's not a good sign for Russia.  Now we're sending Ukraine weapons that sound like a Call of Duty killstreak, and it's going to get even worse for them.

My point?  If this continues, I absolutely believe Russia will use WMDs of some sort.  I can't see them simply accepting defeat and going home.


If your scenario is true, and you believe that Russia will use WMDs just for getting a black eye from Ukraine, then what do you think will happen when NATO rolls in and absolutely obliterates 80% of Russia's entire army (that's what would happen), leaving their military combat ineffective and Russia completely defenseless?  Do you think that would cause them to turn their 2000+ warheads towards Europe and the US?


Because they’d still have the ultimate deterrent to being invaded? Nukes?

Since Poland is the next country west of Ukraine, one would think they would readily transfer those MIGs. Probably because Poland has turned back into being a tit sucker on USA.  They want fresh F-16s on a 1 to 1 for the old MIGs.  What are they thinking?


My suspicion/ WAG is potatus tried to lean on Poland to not send the migs, leaving Poland to take the heat. Poland called him on it and made it a US problem.
Potatus said yes go ahead to Poland, then Poland countered with we'll send them to you without asking for anything in return, but we're expecting the same amount of F-16C block50/52 with low hours. That's what Poland means with "fresh".

Potatus said no to that, but still stated they're free to give them to Ukraine.  As to either being the middle man, or the F-16Cs, I could not find out.  There probably is other concerns of pulling "fresh" F-16s from the USAF inventory as those are probably not in export configuration.  If so, it would cost good money.

I put all this together from more than a dozen articles about these jets from various news around the world.  As we can see, it's Poland making the transfer difficult and want a good tit sucking on USA.  There's a lot of things we can blame on FJB, but this really isn't one of them.
