People should calm down over this, not worth getting us into a war with a nuclear power.
Consider this; In 1943 the USSR launched their main offensive to start re-conquering the Ukraine. They had 4 MILLION troops, thousands of tanks and planes, 51,000 artillery and mortars!! etc.
Today the 100,000 Russian troops is not a major offensive, it will be a small land grab nothing more.
RINOs and Dems retract your claws.
The Russians aren’t employing that 100,000 men as a single field army. They’re not even using combat brigades. Most recently they strip a battalion from a garrison brigade, take the best men and equipment from that brigade and deploy that.
They are thin on infantry and this battalion only has about 30 tanks and about 200 infantry dismounts. If they lose as few as 6 tanks, they are combat ineffective according to recent history. They are reliant on local paramilitaries to do most of the fighting.
“People should calm down over this, not worth getting us into a war with a nuclear power.”
The same foolish and shortsighted pacifistic crap was uttered in the 1930’s and how did that work out?

No, it’s far better to stop the scumbag Russian thieves on the Dneiper than it is to have to kick them out of Berlin again.
Wait until Iran gets their nukes. They’ll use them offensively no matter how many soft-speaking diplomats are sent to them.
