RUSSIA could wipe out Ukraine's entire military in just 50 minutes, Vladimir Putin has claimed.

The threat came as the Kremlin blasted the UK for supporting Ukraine and supplying it with arms as fears of a Russian invasion mount.

Russian media reported that the country's deadly Black Sea Fleet and troops in Crimea could "neutralise the Ukrainian Armed Forces in between 50 and 600 minutes" if it felt it was about to be attacked.

Glavmedia Telegram cited a "high-ranking source" who told them "in the event of a Ukrainian attack on Crimea or other Russian territories, the Black Sea Fleet will completely neutralise all enemy warships and coastal military infrastructure."

This would include military bases, radio-electronic and air defences, artillery and airfields.

It continued: "A 'no-access bubble' has been deployed for such a task in Crimea, and all naval, air, artillery and missile and other assets - including airborne, tank, special and marines units - are available on the peninsula, and off Novorossiysk."

The chilling threat comes amid concerns over Russia's troops reportedly massing on Ukraine’s border sparking fears of all-out invasion.

The expert in the news report denied Russia would act first but would respond "reactively" to a perceived attack.

And... I don’t care. Our country is being destroyed. The rest of the world is on its own. Why aren’t our troops defending our border? Ukraine is run by a nutcase Nazi anyway.

Pooty poot has small man syndrome.

His weapon is bigger than ours.

The Brits can do better than Pooty. They can wipe Moscow off the map in 20 minutes.

Looks like Putin is telegraphing his intention to squeeze the Ukraine into doing something he can then call a provocation or attack, thus justifying what he wants anyway which is to take another chunk of eastern Ukraine. Now that he knows the US is leaderless and impotent, the posturing of France and UK will not deter him.

If attacked?

Like how Polish troops "attacked" that Nazi German radio station in the early morning hours of September 1st, 1939?

Or how Trump attacked The Capitol single-handedly.

Historically every time there has been a European union of sorts, whether it was under the auspices of Napoleon, Hitler or Merkel, it was the Russians and the British who put an end to it.

Can, but won’t. Mutual defense treaties sound great until shooting starts and you realize you’ve signed up to be a target on behalf of someone you really don’t care about. Moscow might disappear, but so would London.

I expect “Pooty Poot” is waiting for Biden to collapse (physically, mentally, or politically) and launch the invasion then - along with Xi taking Taiwan at the same time, and other belligerents if they’re smart enough to act on the predictable opportunity. This will happen before 2023, while there’s still enough Democrats in Congress to anoint a replacement VP (who will promptly slip into Joe’s chair).

Step one would be to return the Polish territory taken by the Ukraine at the end of World War II. Most of the folks there are Catholic, and it would be a good fit.

Only problem is then the Germans will demand Danzig and Breslau be returned.

True, especially since the British Aircraft Carrier Fleet is now cruising near the Straits of Taiwan so far away. The blokes back home have little more than the nucelar option.

Wait for it some day at exactly tea time ( 4:00 pm).

But my proposal is to basically let Russia have the Donbass, a “neutral” Ukrainian State based in Kiev, and a Western Ukraine, based in L’viv that would be eligible for the EU and NATO. Basically a “Velvet Divorce”, like Czechoslovakia.

The way Brandon & Co are going, Canada could wipe out the US military in less than 15 minutes.

The Brits can't do crap, haven't been able to for a couple of decades, and everybody knows it.

If they could, Hong Kong would be a protected British Colony right now.
