We have the power. These weapons that are being used on civilians like cluster bombs and hyperbolic weapons are war crimes. Do something Joe Biden! It's hyperbaric, not hyperbolic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing he has left is a nuclear threat, and hopefully, the Russians will realize that is an idiotic, course. Whatever the Russian word is for Valkryie, they need to think about it. The Russian military performance has been amateur and pathetic. Yes on Biden's intel. Thank you for the clarification. And yes on the Putin miscalculation. He's painted into a corner and the only thing he's considering seems to be more bloodshed. They say that the first Russian units into battle are poorly trained kids from factories, etc. I wonder how right that is. I think Putin's held back the quality troops and materiel. Stupid.

Let’s hope there’s so independent thinkers there. Also, Putin sitting at that ridiculously big table because he’s afraid of covid, yet we think he will commit suicide by going nuclear?

The Russian military performance has been amateur and pathetic. We’re on day 4. There’s a 30-40 mile long convoy making its way to Kyiv by many accounts. Russia has it seems complete air superiority. Way early to say this is a pathetic operation. Just feel lucky that Putin is showing restraint in his urban attacks so far. Before you show the sites that have been hit so far, know that it could be a lot worse and may get a lot worse. Buying into the “The Ukraine is kicking ass” narrative is likely fools gold. I hope that I’m wrong but I suspect I’m not. Whether the Russians have the stomach for the Guerilla war that will come with occupation remains to be seen.

LeviF Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 2 hours ago, snafu said: For a month, Biden said there was going to be an invasion. Turns out, he was right, even though Putin couldn't even come up with a good reason to invade. He's protecting Ukraine from Russians? He's protecting Russians from Ukraine? He hates NATO, even though NATO never threatened Russian borders once in their history? But Putin went into Ukraine and actually made a case for why NATO exists in the first place. Not smart. Maybe before that, NATO could have gotten their **** together and come up with an actual deterrent. The only real deterrent from Russia going into an unprepared Ukraine was to threaten Article 5 defense. Only, that isn't a credible threat because Article 5 doesn't apply to Ukraine. Hell, it may not be a deterrent at all, because it sure doesn't look like anyone wants to take on the Russians -- except poor Ukraine. All I know is that threatening sanctions after the fact was lame, and it isn't going to get Russia to do an about-face. Even Biden said "let's see what happens in 30 days". 30 days!?!? He should have added: "after Ukraine has been crushed". So instead, after-the-fact, NATO and the EU countries make Ukraine their proxy, doing everything except committing forces. It is a loser play against Putin and yet it isn't too far removed from fighting directly. Talk about throwing money down a toilet. At this point, if Putin wanted to make this into WWIII, then all he has to do is claim that providing arms to Ukraine, and sanctioning Russia on behalf of Ukraine, and stopping Russian air flights and shipping are all acts of aggression against Russia. What's going to happen when Putin ratchets this conflict up to that next level? People will say that NATO lost its chance to stop Putin with strength, and an entire country was destroyed -- because maybe that's pretty much the only thing he responds to. Maybe the play now is to say that NATO will admit Ukraine in 5 days unless the Russians leave the country. I've said it from the beginning that Putin is making a mistake. But that doesn't mean the mistake had to have been made in the first place. Whether it’s a mistake or not, we will see. But Putin explained all this a long time ago. He sees the courting of Ukraine by NATO as a threat to Russia. You may or may not believe him but that is what he’s indicated over the last decade or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
