Not if Ukraine takes out the Russian military first.
It depends on whether the Democrats can steal the mid-term elections.
This much is obvious from the last three weeks:
1. Russian Commands either have no idea what tasks their forces are really capable of conducting, or they do realize they’re incompetent and have been lying to their superiors for years.
2. Russian Staffs have failed miserably. There was either no prior planning for resupply or nobody cared if tanks ran out of fuel- on a highway - in the open.
3. It’s obvious there’s no ‘Joint Force’ in Russia. Doesn’t appear as though the Air, Land & Sea components coordinate, let alone communicate. Typical ‘old-school’, stove-piped Soviet architecture that’s existed for many decades.
4. Nobody counted on drone use - despite the fact they’ve been around long enough to be cheaper, stealthier and deadlier. Intel failure. No big deal, they have more tanks when they can straighten out their logistics.
It’s amazing they’ve learned next to nothing over the years. Even Putin must realize by now his ‘Armed Forces’ are a joke when stacked up against a well-trained, better equipped adversary. Man, Machine, Training - they fail on all three.
Ukraine will eventually run out of soldiers to fight and all their cities are flattened. That could be what Russia is counting on. But Russian's supply-lines can be cut for extended period, then even the effectiveness of this strategy may be in doubt.
Anyone else ever seen a publication from this so called news site. Their Chairman Emeritus is Kissinger, that cold blooded NWO man from way back. Sorry, just another FAKE NEWS site.
Putin is surrounded by yes men just like Saddam prior to the Iraq War.
It is obvious that Russia is trying to force a negotiated settlement. No NATO in Ukrain ever, and neutrality. The reason Zelensky won’t do that is WE ARE HIS BOSS, as in the US, the EU and the WEF. If he surrenders, or negotiates, he will be terminated and they will blame it on Putin, rinse and repeat.
I see it as Russia is slow walking at the risk of losing men and machine. Or maybe Zelensky is a HERO FOR OUR TIME, and regular Churchill. This cut rate Jimmy Kimmel is kickn’ azz.
How small the Ukrainian military is? It heavily outnumbers the committed Russian forces.
Nope. No use trying to put all those muslims under any other rule than the koran. They won’t put up with it in this day and age.
Russia’s army is less than half the size of the USA’s. Its already heavily involved in Ukraine.
The idea it is going to be invading everywhere from the Baltics to Tajikistan is simply more hype for stupid people who don’t know how they are being manipulated.
Putin and the Russians have laid out their position on Ukraine and how they view expansion of NATO/ neo-liberalism in Eastern Europe for the last 15 years. No one should be surprised by recent events.
The lights, internet, water, etc... are still on in Kiev and elsewhere.
It should be clear Russia is not conducting a “shock and awe” campaign - so canned MSM military analysis doesn’t fit.
Well, the Russians occupied parts of Afghanistan. Go to Herat, take a look at some of the people there, their fair skin and hair & eyes not typical of Afghanis.
That country still has UXO from the 80s
The CIA and Charlie Wilson helped turn the tide in Afghanistan.
Russia’s population is less than Bangladesh. They can’t invade and hold territory with Russians let alone sustain losses.
In fact if Russia spreads itself too thin trying in a quest to reclaim the lands held by the Russian empire or Soviet Union, resource rich Siberia would be a tempting target for China.
There is no honor among thieves
Vlad already has a the Stans states as a southern buffer and heavy economic interest all wrapped up in CSTO or central states treaty organization. Russia sent troops to put down a revolution/ popular uprising in Kazakhstan just before the 2022 Ukraine revolution to over throw the Nazis running the country. Russia is trying hard to protect what little they have left before they become a backwater country again.
Central Asian regimes are made of former Soviet officials with close ties to Russia. They have plenty of people willing to be Russian puppets to rule their country. Russians may intervene from time to time to put down local troubles on behalf of their puppet regime.
So it is an easier task than dealing with Ukraine which has full backing of the West.
However, they may hold off their next move to Central Asia now that their army is ruined whether Russia can eventually win this war or not. It will take a while to rebuild their military to do anything new.
Russia has lost. Their army is being humiliated everyday. Over the weekend they launched an all out attack and didn’t gain an inch.
The best thing the Russian people can do is overthrow Putin and lynch him.
That is what DS wants. There are no guarantees that who is next in line is any better than Putin.
I will leave this decision up to the Russians.
That said, I wish we would do the same to Biden because he is destroying the US and our lives daily. He is also an illegitimate fraud. I cannot be on his side ever because his side is not an American side.
