The Russian conscripts themselves do not want to be attacking Ukraine right now.
If a certain someone were still POTUS, Russia probably would not have attacked Ukraine.
Ha ha ha. I put that added detail in a previous post a couple of days ago. Yes, a small part of western Ukraine belonged to other countries and empires.
Also drove all the way to Berlin in American made trucks while walking in American made boots and ate a lot of American made Spam along the way.

Love that quote.
They didn’t do too good against the Finns over eighty years ago, not at first anyway. The Russian bear never learns.
Military operations could result in damage to Ukrainian beautiful woman supplies. The 1st Ukrainian beauties division and the 32nd artificial balloon corps must be gently caressed by 69th Russian fast penetration battalion to minimize casualties.
War is messy business, but Chad Slav Ruskies are up to challenge!
Yeah, somebody (Petraeus?) was analyzing Russian air tactics and practically salivating at the chance to go after them. Their tactics didn’t even make sense given complete air superiority. Not that the Russians could not adapt, but, historically they’ve never shown strength in that (tactical flexibility.)
As for “Any NATO country that traffics in weaponry used to thwart Putin’s goals and kill Russian troops risks Hellfire”, Pooty’s got a pretty darn long list. He knows and has said he can’t win a large scale war on several fronts unless he goes nuclear (nobody wins).
Good point.
Yeah, there are some indications Finland is further moving toward joining NATO. Operationally, they are a good part of the way there anyway. I have to believe THAT sits very poorly with Putin, too.
Stingers are raining hell on both Sukhoi’s and helos loaded with troops.
Stingers make air superiority impossible.
Then we can expect Ukraine will overtake Russia, right?
“Then Ukraine doesn’t need to be in NATO, everyone wins. Sheesh”
Taken further, no one needs NATO since Russia is not a threat to anyone.
