Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[blue2golf]

Why would Russia invade Ukraine when the average temperature is below freezing?

Ground is frozen, vehicles and guns won't get stuck in the mud. Historically, they've launched plenty of offensives in the depths of winter.

Interesting, Jan-Feb would be the time to go with that in mind.

Winter Olympics are in Beijing 4-20 Feb. Vlad et al went into Crimea after the Winter Olympics in 2014, but those were in Russia.

Rooskies go into Ukraine in January, Chi-Coms move on Taiwan after 20 Feb? Or during the Olympics?

I've been retired 14 years, I don't have any idea what our National Security Strategy looks like much less the Quadrennial Defense Review.

Two major regional conflicts? Win-hold-win? Two different Unified Combatant Commands (EUCOM and PACOM) plus NATO/European Union will make this a bigger CHARLIE FOXTROT than we had in the 90s either "Providing" or "Denying" something.

The Russian “steamroller“ works best in the winter.

The Ukrainian’s stand no chance against the Russian juggernaut.

Nightmare scenario, but very plausible. I don't see us doing anything about it if it happens.

Russia & China now have the absolute best situation to make their moves on Ukraine and Taiwan. With Joe Brandon in office, they could not hope for anything better.

Our military is preoccupied on how to handle all the new sexes and genders introduced this year. SecDef even had a 60 day standdown over "extremism".
Top uniform officer (milley) has a major concern of "white rage". Political and top military full of woke idiots.

All this after last year when several cities across the USA firebombed by the democrat's military arm known as blm and antifa. Cities had areas that looked like an enemy bombed them.

Anybody think Russia & China are going to pass this up?

I hope that you are wrong, but I honestly doubt that you are.

How long will the chip shortage last if Taipei and HsinChu wind up looking like Dresden c. February 1945

Oh, we'll probably do something about it... later and at much higher cost when there is adult supervision again.

Bidenlester was suppost to have a talk with Putin today.
I bet Putin just laughed in his face and told him to stick it where the sun dont shine.
Bidenlester scares no one,he cant even win a election!

Russia and China are working in concert on two fronts to put Biden in an untenable position.

Honestly I expected it to happen last year. Between inflation and a deteriorating Navy and a woke zealot Army leadership and 20 years of ignoring peer state conflict preparation and endless fighting over covid obsession and massive riots and a president who can't find his way to the toilet before pooping his own pants...I mean, how much more neutered does America and the West have to get before they make a move?

 

[Leadeye]

Maybe Putin told him there would be ice cream in it for him. That said his family has done business over there, an invasion isn't going to provide board of director payouts.

Biden didn't take office until January of this year though...

If I was Russia and China....I would wait and watch Biden....watch his health, when he strokes out and Kamala takes over she won't have a clue. Then take over all you want as fast as possible, by the time democrats get it figured out its too late, democrats will say they will handle this with diplomacy to save face as Russia and China take over.....by the time 2024 comes around its to late and over with. China and Russia will both now help democrats win big again, or just bribe any R that get in to do nothing, just ask Mitch and company.

'Cause Ruskies don't get cold until it is 0 Fahrenheit. And then they just put on a sweater

This guy gets it.

Too many people are thinking micro when they should be thinking macro.

Now I'm no fancy talkin geomopolitical expert, but everything that comes out of the Biden administration seems to be signaling a green light for a Russian offensive.

Hmmm, maybe the Biden's cash cow dried up on them. Sure would be convenient to have the Russians come in and destroy any evidence of the Biden's wrong doing. Though at this point I don't know that it really matters. We have the scumbag admitting to a quid pro quo with the Ukraine and the media swept it under the rug just like the politicians and democrat voters.
