Russia expressed mounting fury at the prospect of modern Western tanks being sent to Ukraine.

The Kremlin's spokesman described it as an "absurd" plan that scuppers the prospect of talks to end the war.

The Russian Embassy in Berlin called the German government's decision "extremely dangerous" and said it "takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation."

Russia can’t even stop what’s being delivered now. By what magic will they stop new deliveries?

If Russia actually attacked sites in Poland, their goose is cooked and they know it.

The red lines were crossed when Putin invaded any part of Ukraine, and wester leaders were stupid to not make the 100% clear, before hand. I wish we could get to Biden’s call to Putin just before the invasion; what did Biden NOT say about “red lines”. I am sure Trump would not have been cagey or ambiguous.

Well, turn the building it’s under and those around it, into a pile of rubble that he can’t get out of.

At least we won’t have to see him on tv in his green shirts and cargo pants for quite a while.

“Also how will Russia respond to this escalation?”

It would help if you defined the term.

Escalation often implies increasing force or pressure against parity, such that the escalator performs some act that would eliminate the parity, and put himself in the superior position.

That is clearly not the situation here, as Ukraine is not even close to achieving parity with Russia.

If by “escalation” you mean one side ramped up the pressure regardless of its standing viv-a-vis its foe, that is a different story. In such a case — carried to absurdity — Ukraine would be guilty of escalation if it so much as fired a single rifle round at the invading hordes, instead of just meekly surrenderng.

Define the term, so we know what you are talking about.

Zelenskyy already attacked Poland, killing a tractor and a few farmers. No one cared.

“Let me see, a bully picks on a kid and the smaller kid fights back somewhat effectively and the other small kids start helping the kid fight off the bully. And the bully then feels like he is being picked on? Most people learned this stuff in grade school.”

Yes, but some on FR haven’t.

Fools are talking here. Your Great and Glorious Republic of Russiastan isn’t doing so well, eh? A 5km advance around Bakhmut and thousands dead, a worse performance than last summer’s offensive despite the call up of a couple hundred thousand more men.

“I’m not saying you’re a moron, but that post is the most moronic thing I have read regarding Ukraine.”

Sounds like you’re still stuck in grade school and have not yet learned the basic lesson.

The line was crossed in 2014 when Russia invaded an annexed the Crimean Peninsula.

You be correct, I heard Joe Biden just ordered a Brand New White Flag so he can surrender the USA to the UN

“This is the escalation Biden/Germany are causing.”

Or Putin could recall his army of drunken savages back across the border into Russia and the whole thing ends.

So there’s that.

Russia’s nuclear forces are checked just as ours are and Russia’s conventional forces are a shell of what everyone supposed. So I would think NATO forces would cook Russia’s forces in Ukraine at microwave speeds.

Have ANY of the HIMARS in Ukraine been disabled except by wear / needs maintenance?
