A top Ukrainian general said his troops are "ready" for any Russian military assault as concern grows over Moscow's build-up of troops on the countries' borders.

His comments come as tensions between the countries are increasing away from the frontline as well, after Russia's FSB security service said it had detained a Ukrainian diplomat for receiving sensitive information from a Russian national.

Russia has massed tens of thousands of troops by Ukraine's eastern border, including deployments of tanks, rocket artillery and air defense systems. Moscow said this is in response to NATO deployments and has suggested the measures are temporary.

Didn’t we, the United States, talk the Ukraine into giving up their nukes for the greater good?

Not good for them but good for putin?

They were the Soviet’s nukes. Ukraine has “0” nuke capability.

We did, but that government we dealt with was overthrown in a violent coup and no longer exists. The deal died with its murder by Obama/McCain/Nuland/ and globalists.

Also the ignored part of that deal was that we promised Russia we would not move NATO East from Germany. They dissolved the Warsaw Pact completely and the Russian army is roughly 10% of its size in the 1980s. So we moved NATO 1000 miles East and now want it bumping up against Russian border.
This has angered them.

They would love the American civil war, coinciding with a currency collapse, to remove us from the world stage. I really need to buy some 5 million SPF sunscreen. That white paste lifeguards put on their nose.

CW II will be quick and over very fast.
Un-armed Democrat cities against the rural producers.

Russia - Ukraine will be a mess.

Iran vs the rest of the middle east will not work out so
well but hey, it is Moslems V Moslems how can that be a losing situation?

China is the biggest problem, they will attack Taiwan and start to act like Imperial Japan did. God only knows where that will end up.

Waiting for the False Flag by Ukraine, and its handlers to blame “Russia, Russia, Russia”.

All over cheap LNG for Europe?

They dissolved the Warsaw Pact completely...


We Central- and Eastern-Europeans dissolved the Warsaw Pact because we didn’t want to have anything in common with those Bolshevik bastards anymore. The Russians of course wanted the Warsaw Pact to continue.

I think there may be 4 primary theaters, but all hell breaks loose with no one enforcing any peace. Every grudge going back to Moses will be fought out.

Far more likely to see a false flag operation by Russia than by the Ukraine. Weaker countries don’t manufacturer excuses to start fights with stronger ones.

You forgot Turkey /Syria and Egypt /Libya in your map.
IF, and its a really big if, Russia attacks, it will not be a Hitler blitz like 1941. It will be more of an EMF/Cyber Attack with drones doing the heavy lifting. Troops only for occupation and mop up operations. Many Ukrainians will change side and support the Pro-Russian President who was deposed by Biden/Soros. It will be in two phases, !. Invention to the Deiper River and 2. All the way to Kiev to install the “Legally elected” president who will sign a peace (really a piece treaty) treaty with Russia that will give the Eastern quarter to Russia (the Land Bridge to Mother Russia). Russia will kick in a few million to rebuild and things will go back to a normal state here.

We and the UK guaranteed Ukrainian sovereignty if they did that. Stupid for us to guarantee, even more stupid for Ukraine to believe and sign.

That when I heard it on the news told me Ukraine at some point in the near future would be reabsorbed by Russia.

China needs Oil from Indonesia and they will seize it—as well as the undersea oil off Vietnam
It will be over quick. Next Chinese Goal: A port in the Indian Ocean and a base in the Mid-Pacific (Like in the area of Guam).

Amen. Those are just the first 4, starting with America CW2.

Russia will retake the Baltics, China will take selected islands in the PI, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei etc.
