Grave consequences such as “We’ll introduce a REALLY harshly worded resolution to the United Nations!”?

NATO is going to suck the US into a situation it can’t get out of. The founding fathers warned against entangling alliances like this one. Let Europe take care of Europe unless there is a compelling national interest!

And Putin’s response to these strongly worded admonitions:

“Yeah? You and what army?”

The rest of Europe is woefully overmatched in any confrontation.

So don’t start something you can’t finish. Or maybe, don’t be writing checks with your mouth your butt can’t cash.

Does this mean NATO has accepted Crimea is gone? Sad

Russians are running scared - sanctions do work. Limited air strike in case of further aggression will drive them to panic. For example, a 2-hour long operation could reduce their Black Sea fleet to a pile of rubble, with no significant losses on our side. This thought is slowly creeping into Russian boneheads.

No, it means that communicating with Russians is like talking to a petulant retard with a Down Syndrome: you have to repeat yourself slowly and avoid using big words.

I noticed the deer in the headlights look at the video as well. Unfortunately, it alternates with flashes of defiance. Scared, angry and out of ideas equals a very twitchy guy to have a finger on the trigger.

My opinion is that any Russian invasion of Ukraine must lead to a protracted war using asymmetrical warfare.

Attack their supply lines. Burn anything not guarded. Force them to commit masses of troops to guard everything.

Plant real and fake mines along invasion routes. Use these sites as ambush locations to attack the Russians.

Prepare snipers to shoot and kill the Russians without getting caught.

Fight no pitched battles. Always escape.

Prepare to assist any Russian wanting to escape this rich man's war of Putin's and this poor man's fight. Help them escape to the West until the Putin's war ends. Treat them like Christians as long as they refuse to kill Ukrainians in the Ukraine.

Destroy bridges ahead of their advance.

Destroy and burn fuel points and ammunition with fires.

Make them pay a huge price in men and materiel.

Be aware of their fifth column. Treat them like spies.

Brush up on your Russian or lay off whatever you are having now. The video shows a chase given to a Communist speaker after he claimed the vandals in South-East are somewhat representative of Ukrainian people.
Geez, those Russian imbeciles...

Not really. Its more like walking into a biker bar and asking for them to quiet down. Unless you have the ability to force them to quiet down, they are at best going to laugh at you. At worse, you're getting a beating.

Further, it is the person who thinks that their choice of words is the key to achieving the desired result, who is really the petulant retard.

Small side issue, but I've never spoken with a petulant person with Down's.
