War in Ukraine

Entering Ukraine with as few as 70,000 troops at the outset, and gradually built its force, through robust recruitment, to roughly 620,000 today, approximately 200,000 of those combat troops along with 30,000 police forces. That’s 200,000 combat troops in a country the size of Texas. Gives you an indication how it might take awhile to chew through hundreds of thousands of people with guns along a 1,000km front line.

Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia.

 

lf I were Ukraine, I would immediately stop sharing ANY intelligence with us. Tulsi probably would funnel it right to the Kremlin.

 

Macron basically saying he wants to team up with Germany to fight Russia. What a fresh idea!

 

Or better yet feed them bad intel to see if the Russians bite.

 

Russia's problems with Chechnya are none of our business. That:s been going on for centuries. Right now they get along pretty well. Imagine the Mex-Americans in the American southwestern wanted independence from our country and wanted to fight for it. Would you support war? Chechnya wanted independence. Russia said no. Keep in mind Chechen terrorists were supported by America. Putin asked Bill Clinton to stop the CIA from supporting these terrorists but Clinton did nothing.

Moldova is very complicated. The country has a good number of Russian-speakers. The EU-USA wants to pull it away from Russia's sphere of influence. Obviously Russia will counter that. Last year the Moldovan election was rigged against the Russian-speakers.

Ukraine and the US started the current war with Russia.

Georgia's Shalikashvili opened fire on ethnic Russian enclaves. Medvedev had replaced Putin as president and he did what any Russian leader would do. He sent in forces to protect the Russian-speakers (similar to how Russia protected Russian-speakers in the Donbas after Ukraine began its artillery assault in violation of the Minsk agreements). Georgia started that conflict.

In Syria the US backed Al Qaeda and other Islamist terrorists. Many would say the US helped create and maintain Islamic State. Russia was in Syria to kill terrorists. Assad asked for Russia's help

Not sure what you think Russia did wrong in Africa. In Ethiopia the US backed the genocidal terrorists known as the Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front. Feel free to say what Russia did wrong in Africa

apparently intel has been cut for weeks, about the time those long range refineries quit blowing up.

hard to imagine that real time satellite imaging can't be purchased to acquire targeting data. is that not a possibility? do they need more than the gps coordinates?
