They should have adopted the Swiss model for self defense.
A lot of their military has basically defected though
Russia is NOT going to use their entire army/AF/Navy for this...
But the Ukraine just might.
Let me “splain” this to ya. The Russians have already surrounded thousands of the Ukrainian army dupes in the Crimea.Totally surrounded and holding them. What happened, for those in loma linda, is that the ELECTED!!! president was ousted by terrorists!! The Russian warm water port was threatened last week. No longer. I will bet you that that Russia will take ALL of the Ukraine. Any bets?
Don’t we need to draft 18 year old girls too? We can’t even stop illegal aliens!!!
Any Ukrainian who fights, will die.
credible???
this isn’t even close.
The Afghan civilian population was armed with Lee Enfields and muzzle-loading rifles from the late 19th century. The Soviet Union's population was 15x Afghanistan's. The Afghans outlasted the Soviets over a decade-long war. The question isn't whether the Ukrainians have the equipment to fight the Russians - it's whether they have the resolve. Stepan Bandera killed over 30,000 Soviet troops and political cadres over a decade of guerrilla warfare. If Ukrainians can inflict anywhere that level of casualties on the Russians, they will run, not walk, back to their side of the border.
Ukrainian military hasn’t been modernized since 1992. Most of their tanks, aircraft and vessels are useless because of lack of pieces and maintenance.
Only one aircraft out of 9 is operational.
The Ukrainian military has only a token force in the autonomous republic of Crimea — a lightly armed brigade of about 3,500 people, equipped with artillery and light weapons but no tanks.
The forces also have only one air squadron of SU-27 fighters deployed at the air base near Belbek, which is now in the hands of Russian military.
Ukraine’s small naval fleet had been boxed in by Russian warships. Many high ranked officers defected.
If it goes hot, the Ukraine will need EU air support. Gee, sure would be nice to have some missile defense systems in Poland right now. Obama needs to be impeached ASAP !
