There is, unfortunately, no chance of Ukraine surviving this onslaught.
There may be resistance, and ultimately a resurgence, but Putin has the power to occupy the country.
and the Global Warming UN sitting on their Butts
In spite of is more like it
Brandon is Putin’s most valuable asset.
I’ll believe there are consequences for Putin when his yacht is on fire. Until then, it’s all blah blah blah sanction.
We also thought that, back in 1979, when China invaded Vietnam. The Vietnamese fought back hard and drove China out.
This whole thing could have been prevented. Khrushchev and Kennedy averted war, why couldn’t Putin and Biden (or whoever would negotiate in his place)?
Biden is offering to send the UAF maternity flight suits...
The Russians will become ruthless in war if needed. They are not like the woke US military, NATO, or the west in general. They play to win and it will get ugly.
Odds can never be overcome by attitudes of defeatism, hopelessness, and surrendering to statistical certainty before the fire-fight ensues.
If our generals thought like you in 1776. Today we would be all singing... “God Save The Queen” or perhaps living under the Swastika saluting with the words “Sieg Heil” if Britain was already written off by attitudes like yours that defeat was inevitable because Hitler had the air power and superior numbers to occupy the country.
“Putin has the power to occupy the country.”
Beyond that, Putin has the resources to install a government that meets his requirements.
A full occupation will not be necessary if he achieves that.
Imho the primary purpose of the invasion is to force Ukrainian regime change.
That is why the sanctions stuff is totally irrelevant. Putin will declare “peace” when he gets the government he wants in power.
Putin does not that power. He’s sending conscripts and mercs to Ukraine. That’s playing a very weak hand. He’ll be suing for peace shortly. More fake elections, etc.
Imho Putin would never have invaded unless he believed he could overthrow the existing government.
I don’t know the details on what basis he came to that conclusion, but I would very surprised if it turned out to be an error.
Bad comparison. Ukrainians are fighting for their land. Putin is sending football hooligans and mercs to invade. I’ll take the home team here.
If Putin was so brilliant he wouldn’t be resorting to violence now. He’s a thug who knows nothing else. He’s met his Waterloo. Ukraine is the size of Texas and has 40 million people. That is not a nation conquered by conscripts and Soviet era equipment.
This guy is a moron. More than likely in a few weeks Putin will head home and Zelensky will still be President but without the deep state problems. And since Putin is knocking out those bio weapons labs Bill Gates is not going to get his next big pandemic.
George Washington crossed the Delaware the night of Dec. 25/26, 1776, and fought the Hessians on the morning of December 26.
“We also thought that, back in 1979, when China invaded Vietnam. The Vietnamese fought back hard and drove China out.”
There is a school of thought that believes the Chinese used the war to winnow old school colonels and generals from the PLA to make room for younger tigers.
