And yet the "leaders" of the western world, again, completely ignored it. And exactly like Hitler, and Stalin, sitting back and waiting for a revolution from within is getting a lot of people killed. |

Good point. Those jets from Poland won't do them any good, if they have no place to land them. What if we place troops in Moldova like Putin did to Belarus? Tell him that any Russian forces that enter Moldova would be considered an act of war, also turn Moldova in to a no fly zone. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Walleyeguy24: This entire conflict has the West only reactive, instead of proactive. Everything is a counter move. I want to see something that forces Russia to make a reaction or show their hand. A lot about the real intentions of Putin along with his willingness to escalate can be figured out with a few moves by the West - mostly by our behavior forcing him to counter or not in Belarus or Moldova. I am pretty convinced at this point that all the think tank people I used to know are even dumber than I thought, and I didn't think very much of them at the time. Fancy degrees from ivy league schools and unable to do anything but follow old doctrine and react and follow a pre-existing playbook. Anyone pulling an audible renders them useless. These are the people dictating our foreign policy and jumping back and forth between government and private. Only able to follow what they have been taught, not able to think on the fly. Our only saving grace is that this is very similar to how Chinese operate - very little creatively and nobody willing to throw out something outside the existing playbook. There are NO Russian troops in Moldova. Create a no-fly zone in Moldova NOW. It would prevent the invasion. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SuperSixOne: Originally Posted By Cincinnatus: Moldova should attack Transnistria first. Might as well. Have Ukraine support the attack. This is going to be a mess. At this point nobody gives a flying fuck what the people of Russia think. It is an uphill battle for the hearts and minds there. Even with the "free" flow of information there via the internet, Russia has already cracked down hard and it will continue to get worse. Only the military leaders and oligarchs matter at this point. The West has GOT to do something that throws Russia off balance if the plan is to not have Ukraine lose millions of innocents. Despite everything done so far, Russia has already pretty much cut off half of Ukraine. Soon due to lack of power, internet, food, heating, water, hygiene people will be dying in mass without shots being fired. That doesn't even take into effect the likely food problem for the rest of the world without Ukraine pumping out tons of grains and corn. I want to see something done elsewhere outside of Ukraine that forces Russia to make a decision. At least find out the state of mind of Putin and the leadership there. Right now we are just going off of assumptions and words of a known liar. At this point someone should be doing something outside of Ukraine to get a reaction. There are many options: Belarus, Moldova, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, etc. Fuck around with Russian interests elsewhere. Play similar games as them. None of those countries can do jack shit to the West. Parking a carrier group off the coast of Cuba or Venezuela would make Russia do something. Taking them has to be on the table, especially Cuba. But I don't think it even has to go that far. There are plenty of ways to cause trouble without firing a shot. |

Even as bait drones they can still fill them with explosives and give them a destination. Yep. That’s why you still have to shoot them down. |

Ah Transnistria, famous exporter of memes and patches for holey jeans.
... It's seriously like two convenience stores, a liquor store and a block of cold war condos. Obviously Stephen (the guy that panhandles out in front of the boozer) decided Vlad's offer of a bottle meant the press conference was "a go." Someone should buy him a bottle of "the good stuff" and have him sing the Ukrainian anthem instead. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockMech: The logic is that you don't engage a nuclear-armed state (especially the #2) directly when you don't have to. We long ago decided that we'd (in theory, at least) be willing to roll the dice if the Russians made a dash for the Rhine (or the beaches of Normandy).....but not if they invaded Ukraine. The loss of Western Europe is serious enough to gamble with several Billion lives. The invasion of the Ukraine has been determined to not be worth that. QED. The scary part is that there's enough uncertainty in the alliance's commitment to the Baltics that Putin (or whoever follows him) might just think we'd sacrifice those members to save "mainland" NATO. If he's wrong about that (and, after this display, he probably is).....that's the Third World War, and probably a nuclear exchange. So nuclear war now, or nuclear war later? Those are our choices? I'd say we're in a better position now, while VP has his dick stuck in a bear trap, and we know where most of his goons are, stuck in the mud. |

Assuming Russia eventually withdraws to pre-conflict borders.. it won't be Russia paying for the rebuilding of Ukraine, but rather Europe and the US. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GTLandser: So nuclear war now, or nuclear war later? Those are our choices? I'd say we're in a better position now, while VP has his dick stuck in a bear trap, and we know where most of his goons are, stuck in the mud. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GTLandser: Originally Posted By RockMech: The logic is that you don't engage a nuclear-armed state (especially the #2) directly when you don't have to. We long ago decided that we'd (in theory, at least) be willing to roll the dice if the Russians made a dash for the Rhine (or the beaches of Normandy).....but not if they invaded Ukraine. The loss of Western Europe is serious enough to gamble with several Billion lives. The invasion of the Ukraine has been determined to not be worth that. QED. The scary part is that there's enough uncertainty in the alliance's commitment to the Baltics that Putin (or whoever follows him) might just think we'd sacrifice those members to save "mainland" NATO. If he's wrong about that (and, after this display, he probably is).....that's the Third World War, and probably a nuclear exchange. So nuclear war now, or nuclear war later? Those are our choices? I'd say we're in a better position now, while VP has his dick stuck in a bear trap, and we know where most of his goons are, stuck in the mud. |
