When it comes to the Russians, I always remember the story about the British turning over the Cossacks to the Soviet commissars at the end of WWWII.
The most ridiculous propaganda about this war invariably comes from the British media.
Oh, good...that’s what ya want. A nutty tyrant, perhaps with a year to live, and nukes out the ying-yang to be terrified.
The spin is that Russia just had a “Pearl Harbor” of course the USA “escalated” after that and won a war.
The Neocons like escalation from the side they slap around like in this case the Russians.
Any Russian escalation will be demonized in the usual places in British newspapers by Lindsey Graham etc. etc.
The UK is becoming a failed state, and it wants to drag the USA down with it.
The question that will be haunting Putin is – what’s next?
While the Ukraine attack is noteworthy, “gaining the upper hand” is a bit of stretch.
Personally I have wondered why Russia continues to fight with gloved hands. If Russia desired, kiev would literally be rubble in short order.
Russia may finally take the gloves off, rather than slow slogging for slow ground gains, begin to simply go scorched earth.
It was a daring attack to be sure, and effective, but upper hand? I doubt that.
It will be interesting to see how Russia responds.
That's the problem. Short of using a nuke Russia can retaliate any way they want and the world can say nothing about it.
Is that a good thing?
I’m sure the Chinese have a similar plan for the US.
MR, once again I ask you. How does a successful attack on Ruzzian planes
help YouCrane Retake Territory that is under Ruzzian Control?
YouCraynee needs lots of warm male bodies to retake territory back.
Apparently, YouCrayne does not have enough warm male bodies
or they would have already taken their territory back.
So, tell us how YouCrayne will get their Territory back.
Aside from the hyperbole, and the actual damage, Russia has to be concerned about one major problem.
That Ukraine could position weapons and has operatives deep inside Russia.
Four years into a war on their border, you’d think that keeping out stuff from Ukraine would be tightly controlled.
This involves the trucks, containers, launch systems and drones.
Does seem odd for Ukrain to discuss the specifics, which may mean they don’t have anymore such equipment in place.
Or maybe they just knew Russia already had all the evidence after the attacks.
It won’t seem like such a brilliant move if Russia decides to nuke the Ukraine.
Any drones left over that can go after Russia’s missiles? Ukraine may have struck an impressive blow, but it’s the missiles that they’ve now put into play.
OK, so when Russia strikes back hard, I don’t want to hear any more whining like its not fair...
It’s astounding this “The vax is good for you” level of reporting is tolerated.
The Ukes better be very, very concerned about what happens next.
I don’t like the idea of a terrified Putin.
Ukraine and England gonna whip Russia…
