City of Primorsk - Zaporozhye Region

They've already proven inept at conventional ground battle.
Well, I received my secret cryptogram decoder ring from Ovaltine, and the message was that Russia and Germany are going to sign a non aggression pact, and when Russia invades eastern Poland, Germany will invade western Poland.
City of Primorsk - Zaporozhye Region
Me either. But if they do, the possibility of nuclear war is closer than ever, much closer.
The waterfront is essentially the Russian border due to no resistance providing support along the water. That is, until the Moskva sinking...
“You seriously believe either Germany or the United States would go to war over Poland?”
Last century we had 4 two term Democrat Presidents. Every one was wishy washy and got us into a war.
Wilson... ran for re-election in 1916 based upon keeping us out of the war. Ended up in WWI.
FDR ran for re-election on the campaign slogan “No American Boots on Foreign Soil.” Got us into WWII.
Truman, finished FDR’s term, his second term, full escalation into the Korean War.
Johnson finished JFK’s term, then with the Gulf of Tonkin fake CIA fiasco, went full escalation into the Vietnam War so he could beat Goldwater in the election...
We could add Slick Willie as Number 5 as he created the Middle East fiasco that led to the 911 attacks...
It’s the wishy washy foreign policy that gets us into wars. Not the Trump, “We Are Not Telling What We Will Do” “but we will kick butt,” that keeps us out of wars.
My prediction is that Putin will enable Iran to attack Israel with a nuke. Russia will also attack from Syria.
Israel will respond with nukes.
China will step in to negotiate the “False Peace.”
This will happen well before the November mid term elections as an excuse to cancel the November elections.
AND, I HOPE I AM WRONG...
No, it won’t attack Poland. Just stupid fear mongering propaganda.
Whatever it takes to keep support up for the State Department “regime change in Russia!” lunacy.
I hear Putin is hiding under our beds.
It’s only saber in its arsenal that is scary is its nukes - and its rattling them is indeed a concern - their last resort. But they know too that used of them is suicidal.
We hope.

I do think we need to work on our nuclear deterrent. If Putin can so freely make nuke threats maybe we need to remind him what an effective deterrent is. Our weapons are old and Obama’s New Start agreement was a mistake having no mention of tactical nuclear weapons which Russia now has a 10X advantage.
And deterrence only matters in what your potential enemy thinks.
You’re correct. Russia is a dying country, that is White Christian Russia. It’s birth rate is declining. Putin really screwed the pooch on this one.
Invade Poland? Good God Poland has an army and an air force and centuries of resentment to Russians. The Poles aren’t going to roll over and right now Ivan’s got plenty of problems in Ukraine.
It would be like the Soviet Union attacking West Berlin during the Cold War.

Ukraine has shown the world how new, cheap technology is changing the battlefield. The use of cheap drones eliminates the need for expensive jets and tanks. They are essentially changing the new way wars will be fought.
It’s obvious that these drones cannot be spotted by Russian radar. They are flying them over tracked AA vehicles and are not engaged. Now, the 40 yo Russian cruiser, Muskova has been sunk. This ship was touted as the most lethal vessel on the water outside US carriers. Either their crews are incompetent or their equipment is crap.
