If Russia conquers Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic countries and Eastern Europe are next on the list

Oh, sure!

Just like the commies would take over the world if Vietnam was lost. Well, Vietnam was lost --- just like the other US fiascos.

Just like WMDs were in Iraq.

Just like all the other lies.

Fool me once, shame on me -- fool me twice, shame on me.

As we have seen from Europe, the only way EU elites will close the border is when the THird World invaders are arriving via Russian controlled territory.

The military could be quickly expanded like 1942, although the population is decided less capable than then.

The real issue is the disappeared industrial base, which would take decades to restore.

“The real issue is the disappeared industrial base, which would take decades to restore.”

Yep, plenty of people we can draw in for human waves. But the industrial base is spread all around the world, with much of it in neutral countries (or worse). Good luck with that!

Leftists and their fellow travelers always try to twist the language. They are as slippery as snakes and totally lacking a moral compass.

Putin/Medvedev are playing good cop/bad cop with Zelensky.
The Ukrainians need to capitulate before Russia takes more land.

No benefit for Ukraine, but HUGE BENEFIT for Biden, since his bunch will not be perceived to have been DEFEATED by Russia in their little, idiotic, war adventure...at least until next year’s elections are over.

True. And, it's sickening we have zeepers here that want to keep funding the war and help Biden push his failures beyond the election.

Very true - makes one wonder which side they’re really on.

“The problem is the US is burning resources and the problems are getting bigger.”

Nonsense. So far everything Ukraine has received from NATO and the USA are things that were mothballed or being disposed of anyway. Like the 300,000 cluster munitions that were shipped to Ukraine from the Sierra Army Depot where they were being disposed of.

Ukraine has not received one single new system from us. Just our discards.

I don't particularly like Zelensky is worse than Hitler, and Putin is a hero...

So, tell me oh bright one, how do you come about all your information on Putin and Russia?

Is it from the same people who told you....
-Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation
-Russia colluded with Trump
-Jan 6 was an insurrection
-Take the COVID shot, which is 100% safe and effective, and you WILL NOT get COVID
-Shut down the economy for two weeks to flatten the curve
-Get the picture?

If the Ruskies are so stupid, why is it we had to pay them to put our astronauts in space for almost ten years -- 'cause we couldn't.

And don't forget who put the first satellite in space (beep, beep, beep)

Get a grip. Come back to reality.

Actually, you are the ones falling for disinfo. The Dems sold a false story that Putin was supporting Trump. That’s been thoroughly debunked. Russians were actually trying to get Hillary elected.

“They made their globalist, neocon ambitions when they invaded.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Indeed.
Let’s not forget that Russia is a now a prominent member of the new Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance. (GINSCA)

Russia is full-heartedly supported by ALL the communist nations of the planet:
North Korea, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Belarus, Nicaragua.

Russia is also full-heartedly supported AND aided by the most extreme Islamic nation in the history of man kind : IRAN.
Iran and Hamas were cordially invited to Moscow by Putin while Israeli blood was still wet after Hamas terror attack. As a consequence, Israel has now stated that they will fully support Ukraine, once Hamas has been destroyed in Gaza.

Russia is at the very center of the GLOBALIZED network of communist nations.
I named them all above.

Putin also inaugurated Europe’s largest Mosque right in the middle of Moscow, in an apparent attempt to show himself as the cuddle-in-chef of Islam.

Right now it’s impossible for them to take it. “

That may be but l don’t think Putin will go for a cease fire without Odessa so this will go on and on.

Putin was indeed pro Clintons.
Remember the URANIUM Deal?
That is just ONE example of the Putin / Clinton cosy relationship.

“Maybe they simply want Uncle Sugar to bear the burden, as usual.” (to secure commercial traffic through the Red Sea, from Houthi attacks)

That was my first thought as well.

No Zelenskyites here, he needs to retire to his dacha with his tee shirt collection. Vitaly Klitschko should be the front man. He exudes what the rooshins can understand- lights out.

Here's a friendly tip: Don't project buzzwords from your Kremlin talking points when you run out of useful replies- which generally happens quickly.

“The Nikolaev and Odessa oblasts would be a good way to re-route Russian natgas and oil away from the Ukrainian energy thieves and protect customers like Hungary.”

“That would require going as far as Uzhgorod- probably the original 2022 plan that failed.”

Five of the eight Large Landing Ships attached to the Russian Black Sea Fleet back then to conduct the amphibious portion of the planned attack on Odesa, are now out of action - 3 of them totally destroyed. No more can get into the Black Sea, because Turkey has closed the Bosphorus Straits to them under the Montreux Convention. Additionally, new anti-ship missile defenses deny the remaining three the ability to enter the North Western Black Sea at all.

A land attack toward Odesa would require Russia to cross the Dnieper River - but the Russians blew the bridges when they retreated back over them a year ago.

It is dramatically less likely now than last year (when it failed).
