Some NFL teams are going to wear Ukraine flags on their helmets this year.

They kneel for the American Flag.

Well. Ukrainians might be able to capture Kherson soon. But it'll be difficult to go beyond that. Stalemate. Land bridge from Donbass to Crimea remains intact. Round one. There might be a ceasefire. Ukraine will have to develop nuclear weapons. Or Russia will attack again as they rearm and get fresh troops.

Round two. Russia tries to take rest of Ukraine.

IMHO all hell is about to break loose with both Russia and China.
The only way we’re provoking them is with our weakness.
These are two very evil regimes and they are about to pounce.

China just suspended diplomatic relations, and the Biden Admin reaction is to talk about the impact on climate change.

The Situation in Ukraine

A real WAR between Russia and Ukraine would last 72 hours or less. The ONLY reason this operation is lasting any longer than that is that Russians are taking extreme care not to harm civilians or civilian ifrastructure. That should be obvious. NAZIS, of course, do not have any such scruples. A totally reasonable assumption is that any sort of evidence of wanton killing and destruction you may be seeing in news from Ukraine, is the work of the bandera-Nazis and not the work of the Russian military. This is more like a rescue mission, since Russians still generally view typical Ukrainians as fellow Slavic Orthodox Christians. "A rescue mission ?" you might ask... As in,

• Rescue the people of Donbass from constant shelling and terrorism.
• Rescue everybody else in the place from their deep-state-imposed illegitimate government and its Nazi military.
• Rescue anybody who actually voted for that sick pervert Zelenski from their own stupidity.
• Rescue the people of surrounding parts of Russia and Europe from the perpetual danger of those US financed and operated biowar laboratories.

And put an end to the gargantuan deep-state child trafficking and money laundering ops and other forms of extreme transnational gangsterism. The thing that is really new and different about this operation is that, historically at least, nine ways out of ten when Christians have had to face off against barbarian hordes, the Christians have gotten wiped.

THIS TIME THE CHRISTIANS HAVE WON!!!!

In fact, not only won but won in spectacular fashion. Acting with no more than about 15% of its available forces, Russia has produced a candidate for greatest demonstration of maneuver warfare since Genghis Khan, and all of that with a force no larger than a third or so of the bandera-Nazi defenders while standard doctrine says they should need three times the size of the defending force... There is no definition of patriotism that includes stooging or taking the side of Nazis against Christians. The potential for conservatives who have taken the side of the deep state and the banderaNazis in this business to end up looking and feeling stupid, is vast and I don't think they're going to have to wait very long for that.

It worked for them 80 years ago. At least, once they had enough Western lend-lease to get a proper war industry going, that is. British tanks played a major role in defending Moscow.

only a casual mention in the article, but...

didn’t russia try this once before only as the Soviets, in Afghanistan ?

[CarolinaReaganFan]

it’s working, i’m exhausted.
get it over already.
a bad peace is better than a good war.
Negotiate a ceasefire
